Want to read more about Tibia's earliest history? New articles on: nightmareknights.com/
Antica - The Ancient years features a collection of stories from Tibia's first years.
Many fantastic people have made this project possible, but I want to give a special shoutout to Karr Chaos and Ghaleon. Both have seen the project all the way through with paragraphs of stories and took their time to comment on every single one of the many statements I ran by them, before proof-reading the entire script.
Even though we verified the stories to the best of our abilities, it’s unavoidable that some inaccuracies will surface and I’m looking forward to your commentary. Tibia has a history like no other game, I hope to have done it some justice and that you will enjoy the movie as much as I enjoyed making it.

I congratulate you guys so much, as someone who played Tibia for so long. Thank you for this video.
kkkkk não creio que o Nigro jogava tibia, top demais
Aprendeu a economizar aí né? Tá na hora de voltar pro game e investir nas Tibia Coins kkk
Por essa eu não esperava, hahahahha.
que isso kkkkkk

Insane.
Unfortunately this cannot be recreated.
The internet of the 2000s was something magic.
Soooo much so :(
Yeah, both Tibia and the internet in general was kinda free and chaotic. But despite so much more freedom we were less persistently mean to each other. Though it was a more dangerous place too. I liked it. But others got hacked or tricked, often by their own greedy though.
@@ActionableFreedom This is why we can't have another Tibia , it can't work without the spirit of old internet.
@@amoqueca nearly 20 years later, reading your comment, I realize this. My favorite was 7.4 before the magic system was rebalanced, but even OT servers on that version would never feel like the real deal back then. But so does everything else, time is not going back!
agree, it was our place, the gamers place, not a massive market and advertising place.
The best Tibia movie ever made!
Only possible by your screenshot archive :D
@@TibiaReklav Noo, the stories are the most important part.
@@dark_gladir i agree, dark gladirs library is beastly!!!
@@TibiaReklav obrigado por esse belo video
gogo 200 Dark Gladir xD
And that's a tiny fraction of a whole universe inside an MMORPG game that many certainly will not have the slightest idea that existed.
Even though Tibia has many incomplete parts of the history and missing facts, you managed to gather accurate info (from different sources) in a single video.
My appreciation, delightedly wonderful work. 💎
Thank you Nalu!
I think I might have saw a little nod to the "sorry for the inconvenience" at the last mins of the video. -.^

my classmates nearly flunked out of school back in 2004-5 because they were playing Tibia so much.. Tibia was also a number one reason a famous anti game addiction docummentary on TV was made around 2006-7 in my country.. the popularity was ridiculous! what a legendary game, indeed.
Loool those late nights asks weekends were great
can I get a link or name of the documentary please and thank you.
@@christiansomething7101 As @misterkefir is Polish he probably refers to this video: czcams.com/video/O3UmStKPKQU/video.html
This was great! I started playing tibia 97 when I was 9 years old, my name was Obba and I think im in 1 of the screenshots (purely from the look of my outfit which I remember) and I have to emphasis 1 thing: peeing in bottles . That was pretty much the reason some of my friends started playing lol. I have flashes of memories, like lazzlo being level 33 and felt like a god. Wizards instead of GMs. Does anyone remember Yorin? The wizard (gm) who hated pgs and loved rps. He actually killed people who were trying to pg too hard. This is superearly though, with like 30-50 players online. Omg the stories in my head. Also does anyone remember Blue Soul? Legendary PK who had killed pretty much everyone (he was like level 16 which was OP at the time). The lack of spell exhaust, push exhaust, training with stacked monsters, dragons at east gate, eplates, hots and steelshields everywhere. MMS having the exact same look as steelshield, chain legs being pretty much the rarest item there was. Etc etc etc.. this game shaped me and my friends whole life basically. When we had intoduced it to our school it spread like wildfire and the social life became about tibia. If u were good at tibia noone would touch you. If someone was mean u could just say ”ill kill you on tibia” and anyone would leave you alone, also try to be ur friend, because dying on tibia was far worse than the physical pain of being hit. Our teachers had to arrange meetings if someone killed someone else in the class etc. It was wicked how much it controlled our lives back then. Sry for long comment I got a bit nostalgic. Anyway great movie man. (Ps: my nickname is still Obba irl to this day because of my first character in tibia)
i appreciate your comment, it was really nice to read ^^
@@seamith2876 Thanks buddy :)
Hi! would you tell me if the tibianic lever ever opened/closed the bridge to it?
Dying in tibia was far worse than physical pain. Couldn’t say it better. Applause 👏🏻
man this happened exactly in my school but in 2002, where are u from? i guess it took some time to travel the world and reach my country, Chile.
Thank you for the video, guys. I started to play Tibia in 2000 and stopped in 2010. I played on Antica before the server got this name, and afterward, I tried to be a newbie on Nova. Haha. This video is really amazing.
Hi there, I'm the original Dios Griego de la Muerte here but my account were hacked long time ago due to playing in an OT and using the same client to login into Tibia.
Some of my videos has been used in this one and to be honest it's an honor :)
I remember a lot of old stories, good old times.

@@TibiaReklav So sad I can't login into Tibia and watch my friend list to remember all of them :(
All I have are the screenshots I took.
¡Hail Warlords! :)
I enjoyed every minute of this piece of Tibian history.
I really feel like I just watched a Netflix movie about Tibia. This is PURE GOLD. Amazing work man I don't have words to describe how epic this video is.
Just thank you for giving this masterpiece to all the tibians.
You're a legend bro.
I started when there was about 35-50 or so players.
The first online game I ever played.
Damn those were some good times.
This was the most intense trip down nostaligia lane I've ever experienced.
My first Tibia character was Bristol, named after my friends vacuum cleaner lol. It’s crazy to have interacted with players like Master Slayer, Smoked, Lightbringer, and Arieswar and how they became such famous players in Tibias history. Really cool video dude, it hit me in the nostalgia hard.
Part 2, 3, 4 and so on..please! 😍
Honestly... it's been 17 years since i was introduced to this game. Unfortunelly, the thing i miss the most is exactly the players social interaction. Back in the days we used to do a lot of Online and even Real Life friends on the Training grounds while practicing or making runes to sell... This video just give me the chills... Amazing! You sir, did a wonderful job! Have this in mind.
This brings back so many memories
The automation of many aspects of the game killed the social aspect!
Couldn't agree more 👌
I could cry, miss the old times 😢
Man.... as a movie maker mysef, I cant even imagine how long time it must have took you to edit this whole thing, the amount of correct information from all these sources and players that you had to collect and by digging in the past, and last but not least the perfect complex editing for a WHOLE hour worth of movie content, it is totally beyond me...... HUGE respect to you!!!!
The whole subject about tibian old days and the legendary mystery quests that people tried to solve in the past that you are making videos about is really interesting and has really grabbed my attention these last years. I started playing at 7.1 and at the time I was pretty young so I had very little knowledge of the history of what happened before that and it didnt really interest me at all at the time, But the more time passes, the past is getting more fascinating to me and today I learned alot of things.
MAY YOU LIVE FOREVER AND MAKE A TON MORE OF THESE MOVIES!!!!
Holy shit, Brollex! Thank you bro. Your video is my favorite PK movie of all time, I took much inspiration from it. This project was quite a journey, with developing some RSI in my hands as a highlight lol. Had to stop completely for a few weeks. After being the only one seeing it for months, I'm glad people enjoy it so much now.
@@TibiaReklav Fantastic movie! I was playing Tibia for only a short time in the 2000s but nevertheless this was incredibly satisfying to watch.
Could you tell me where you sourced the sound effects from?
@@mathog11 Glad you liked it, many SFX was from Boom Library
@Brollex couldnt agree more !
Tibia was huge in my life. I started playing with 12 years old in Brazil and it helped me to develop my English, to start loving computers, and to talk with people from around the world. I became a Software Engineer and moved to Germany 6 years ago and that might never have happened if it was not for Tibia. I loved this video, thanks a lot for making it. It is a "nostalgic bomb". Amazing, thanks Cipsoft and the founders for keeping it up with it for all this time. I do not play it for a while, but maybe it is about time to revive that character :D
Oh wow, truly a fantastic project. It is nice to hear stories even I have not heard and see some of the missing pieces fall into place. Keep up the good work; I hope there is many more of these!
One of the big reasons as to why the flat project was shelved until a non key solution could be programmed was because a two key solution didn't work if you couldn't retrieve the first key. As the screenshot in the video showed, the flats with windows where horrid for getting yourself killed. It was like shooting fish in a barrel. You would use a key to get into your flat and lock it, but if you were killed you had only one key left. If that emergency key was on a char logged into your flat then they would suffer the same fate if they tried to retrieve the key, which led to your body rotting away. Even if you tried to bring the other key to save the first, the player could kill you for it, or even worse, gain access to your house when you opened the door, making your flat unsafe to use until the next server reset where everyone would be teleported to the temple!
Greetings old friend. I hope you are doing well! - Artur Paendrag
Sounds so messy hahaha, btw do you know if the lever at the tibianic boat ever opened the bridge? and i would love to know if you have screenshoots of the old necromancer bone quest to learn the ultimate explosion spell..
DAMN Rani, this is incredible, I really hope Cipsoft notices and promotes this, as it is bound to be the next Tibia video with 100k+ views. Great job!
Cheers bro!
Lmao, ofc, that's what really matters!
Rani, i was killed by YOU on elysia server years ago, time passes, what a honor. Amazing video, most beautiful thing about tibia i have ever witnessed. WELL DONE!
Easily one of the best things Ive seen in youtube this year, if not ever. Thanks for this trip down memory lane.
This was incredible!!
I'm speechless. The only thing I can do is thank you. Thank you for dedicate your time into this.
I deeply applaud the depth of this video. I've been playing Tibia since 1998, which in and of itself was a feat for a Canadian it felt like to even get on there. Your production value is great and overall I felt the presentation of the timeline is amazing too. I'm glad to see such good content creators here for Tibia finally. Thank you.
that beautiful work 😍
Thanks for sharing!
I’m Alumni Shocks, Tibia player since 2002 when I was 11 years old. This video is amazing! I loved it.
Congrats for the amazing job!
When I read “You are dead.” on that screenshot I had flashbacks of chills running down my spine while being immersed in despair. Seriously!
same with just reading some high level writing "hunted" 🤣
FLASH BACKS!!!! This is insane. I started Tibia shortly after this. Can't wait for the next two history videos!!!
I am impressed. I've seen several videos in the past of vastly variating quality, but none come close to this one. The story itself, along with the narrative, music, graphics and sounds & cutscenes. Thank you, for this throwback into the early days of a game that I will never forget and that has brought me countless memories, both good and bad.

Simplesmente o melhor vídeo de Tibia que já assisti em toda a minha vida! Parabéns pelo conteúdo incrivelmente bem feito!

@@guicanarin o que tinha acontecido?
Tibia 7 was the pinnacle of MMO gaming in terms of balancing between social and hardcore players.
Agreed!
True.
I started playing on 7.1, at age 7. The game was still very socially oriented throughout the years of 2003-2005. CIP was already trying to push it to a more "grindy" style but, at this moment, the influx of new players was so massive that there was simply not enough map for everyone to hunt. Actually, it was even hard to find open slots on the servers just to log in. So most of us still resorted to the more social activities such as chatting, training and exploring the map.
I couldn't play at that time, it's a shame to have arrived late... I started in the second generation when bubble was not yet 200 (2002 7.1) I was lucky to start when the essence was still tibia, it gave me goosebumps... It was an honor to be able to these great legends... Kaisher, Tarquinio, Walla ter, Nightmare Death (Omega team) Eastauron, Tavion, Abuelo de heidi, Nena de Cadiz, Dragon mc'gregor... And above all Akanegirl and Sir prodigy... I miss you a lot... Here Escryx-Fibez-Sir Khai still remembers you! HAIL ETERNIA...! This video made me emotional :')
Eternia!!!! Mannn I loved that server….remember theouindes …highest sword for a while lol… I played Pherix shannara on eternia for a while
This looks like a NatGeo documentary, for real! Congrats on the work done, waiting for the next one
Nova could get a video like this.
It had a dense history.
Was the "Hardcore Server" for many years, and many years after that this kind of server were technically implemented.
This is so nostalgic, Im really in tears just remembering the great old times i spent with great people.
I hear u brother
I could go on and on about this game. I started playing back around 1999-2000 and played for years. I have hundreds of screenshots I need to upload somewhere for pre-7.0 update. The feeling of being in another world stayed with me. The way people actually in Tibia. The talks while fishing in Fibula, the nerviousness of training with a friend north of Carlin and a stranger telling the story of Ferumbras. Wanting to join the Mercenarys. Being an American kid and learning Germany to talk to others. I will forever hold Tibia in a special place and long for a connection to another world in the same way.
by far, the best tibia movie... and tbh best game movie ive ever saw. I think tibia is an underrated game, this game just has an amazing backstory about internet and evolution of online games. Sad that many people dont know about this History, Tibia was so important in the ancient years of online gaming.
I started in Antica in 2002 and always played there till my retirement a loong time ago. Gosh the memories.. getting my popcorn ready!
THIS IS INCREDIBLE
THE BEST WORK ON TIBIA HISTORY EVER MADE
I first played tibia in 2001. I played for about 3 years and put it down. Came back in like 2010 to all sorts of changes. Played for about 3 years and put it down. Picked it back up again in 2016 for about 2 years and just came back out of retirement last month. This video brought me great joy. I loved every minute of it. I miss old tibia but I won't lie I still like new tibia as well although the difficulty of the game is nowhere near what it was back in the day. Thank you for the nostalgia of this video.
I really enjoyed this. I could listen to this narrator like a podcast all day
Amazing work, as someone who started in 2001 and had seen the whispers and the second hand stories this really took me back.
I've been waiting my whole life for this video
In almost 17 years as a tibian player, I have never seen a video so accurate and well-edited. The documentary narrative is awesome, the details of ancient era, the characters and items tales...just marvelous. I thank you very much for that. I'm sure Uman blessed you for that wonderful work.
Haven't played the game in about 7-8 years. But started in 1999. Excellent video that brings back a lot of nostalgia.
I remember paying my fee to hunt in fibula. The mercenarys would have a guide who would show you around even. Cool stuff!
This is hands down the best video about Tibia ever made.
Gehal here 😉
Pure gold, thank you so much Rani to take me back in time 🤩 What an effort!
I would like to say thank you to everyone who was involved in the making of this video. This is absolutely fantastic. It brought back some forgotten memories and I have never felt nostalgia like it!
I really hope we see more.
Thanks :D
Wow, the amount of time, effort, skills and resources combined to make this. Kudos to you!!
Really amazing. Despite being a tibia player for decades, there are tons of info from old Tibia that I hadn't seen anywhere else!
Antica, my old home. I miss those days, if anyone around here that knows me from back then. Death Raiser here.
I've never hit the watch later button so fast. This is gonna be my movie for this weekend.
The effort spent on this project must be immense but it turned out to be an absolute masterpiece! Thanks a lot man, enjoyed every bit of it
Thank you! I love that people enjoy it so much
Absolute masterpiece.
Fan-goddamn-tastic job.
I was born in 1990 and played Tibia on the early days for years, this made me tear up, such good memories, used to play every weekend with my best friend IRL in my mom's home office, we had 2 pcs, a magical time withouth a doubt. TY FOR YOUR AMAZING WORK !!
I've commented before... Even years later I still watch this. Bravo on delivering a wholesome understanding to Tibia's past. Nostalgia is very real, so thank you!
Appreciate it! More coming in a few months
@@TibiaReklav 😧 good news!
What an amazing film.. thank you for bringing all of these memories back..
Looking forward to more of these! This was FANTASTIC.
I started playing Tibia in 2001 when there was only one world called Tibia. I remember players like Taghor, Falme Leonard, Lord Helmchen, Kajala, Flatter, Hagbard, Thyruss, Indira. It was nice when players standing on the X-Road in Thais. You could be pushed out of Protection Zone and get killed.
I really hope there will be more of this stuff coming from you! I've watched it three times since yesterday.
Phenomenal job! Thanks!
This is so incredibly well done! Hats off Mr. Dworak.
This video is HUGE... great job guys. A lot of nostalgic memories from my tibian childhood !
Outstanding video! Hope to see more. Really impressed with the quality and all of the information!
Holy Tibiasula, reklav went full sicko mode on this video. Massive props to editor. No doubts it is One of the greatest videos EVER based on tibia.
This is so f good!
One of the best movies I’ve seen this whole year. Thank you so much!
This is on an another level.. you have 20k+ views from a tibia film in just 6 days! Please don’t make the next one 6months apart, i need one next week! Well done brother!
Edit: you can see a fine line with the early mentions of the film about none toxic ppl
With the comments!
This is better than almost any movie ive seen. Thank you so much. So much of this went over my head when i was a kid.
Fantastic. My body shakes when I watch the old stories. This is really something to be saved in memory. Really good job of making the collection.
I hope soon we will be able to watch more of this masterpiece...
It was breathtaking!!
GOOD JOB!
This is one of the best tibia videos ever created! Amazing work all, really brings back some nostalgia and makes us remember what tibia used to be all about. Thank you for this!
The editing of this video and narration IS INSANE! I'm so glad this exists
Beautifully made and really set me back those odd 20 years on a truly nostalgic journey. Thank you so much for making this!
Incredible. Such a great work! Pleased to see it, finally.
Really well made video!
Brings back so many memories over 15 years ago when I started playing
Great video, I had forgotten so much of this, but as I watched I slowly did remember some of those events. Thank you!
This is by far the best and most interesting Tibia content all over internet, please make MORE!
Great job!! Captivating from start to... end? Truly great project
Brother, what a video...great, great job! I'm hoping that you manage to make more Tibian History videos. Your work is always a joy to watch.
Thank you dude!
Man you just turned memories of some players niche game who barely had any players from 25 years ago into an epic tale worth writing a saga lol. Thanks so much for this. I played Tibia for the first time in 2006. Of course it was super popular in Poland, where I am from. I will never forget buying first plate set and spike sword at 13 lvl after hard grinding on Kazo mines :). Then the golden era of Open Tibia Servers where I PvPed for years until ca. 2013. Then I tried rl tibia a few times but it wasn't ever the same. You almost brought a tear to my eye out of nostalgia. Thanks again, it was an excellent work. Now I am heading off to the next part...
GM Tipsy Sorc and GM Lisa....I will always remember you. I was only 13 at the time but will never forget you guys being my "parents". I hope one of you see this. You guys were good people. Spongey-One
Seeing Arieswar and Virgel for the first time was amazing, and will never forget getting robbed 5k for a firesword that took me a month to save up to get.
My time was short on Antica, but I enjoyed every minute of it with NM. Shout out to you guys! Great footage
/Lunarsphere
Best documentary released in the year 2020.
Dude, this is so impressive. Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for this.
This was by far the greatest documentary I have ever seen, thank you for your time and dedication, I am overjoyed by the history of Tibia and how its history is actually shaped by players, amazing work thank you again, I hope to see more of this in the future!
18:24 - seeing Zu on his screen, even more so with the red skull, was a mixture of emotion and fear...
he was simply one of the best sorcers in the tibia, alongside, of course, Knight Fang and Proxy.
It will always be remembered by those who love the game and especially by those who love the old days who will never come back.
Unfortunately Tibia is over. Today it is a place where extortion by dominant guilds takes place, which dictate what you can and cannot do, depending on the amount of tibia coins you pay them.
sad to see that the magic of RPG no longer exists. In summary, today, the game has a single purpose of getting stronger and simply dominating a server for the simple fact of having power and being able to extort others. Wars in the past had a purpose exclusively within the game.
anyway, the tibia is over.
Hunted!
Citadelica! xD
This is the best thing i watched for a long time
This video gave me the chills. I wish I was more involved in the game when I started back in 2002.
Bravo! What a well-made piece! I'm flooded with wonderful memories from this time that I had all but forgotten.
finally you upload, i have waited so long
holy shit, what a beautiful depiction of Tibia's history, and that music at the end was PERFECT! GG
This is such high quality, like an actual documentary. Bravo sir.
This is really awesome. I hope you find the time, energy and motivation to make a follow up of years to come.
I started in 99 and seversl of the names mentioned brings back epic memories. Hope we get to see more videos, great production.
beautiful job,
I can't wait for the second part.
I was 11yo back then when i started playing on 7.6 version.
I can truly say it was the golden time for that game and for me also, your video brings back the memory line when i used to go to my nearest neighbour to watch him playing it before i started.
Ive got tears in my eyes man. Im expecting second part of this vid.
What a quality of editing... keep up the amazing work man.
Thanks mate, comments like these keep me motivated to work. Next chapter coming this year :)
I already knew many of these stories but I didn't know so many details. Thank you for this documentary, one of the best things I ever watched on CZcams. Tibia and Counter-Strike were the things I was always thinking about in my early teen years in the early 2000's, I played Tibia for nearly a decade from 7.1 to 8 dot something and Antica's history was always something that sparked my interest to the point of trying to find old web archives with stuff from that era. Thank you very much for this.
Reurned to tibia month ago after 13years break, completly different game, still enjoy it.
Great video, thanks for sharing ancient history :)
try out tibiantis.online the only server with exact same mechanics, just read about this project and decide. :)
You made me cry man...
thank you for making this. I hope for and look forward to more of these from you!
