The test of this year's winter update is coming to a close, and so it is time again to open the Isle of Merriment for you on Testa, Testera, and Testebra.

Savage beasts and ravenous enemies, among them beloved Ferumbras and the notorious dream crusher Community Handler 2.0 CipSoft, will be summoned by CMs there. You can also explore the isle, say hello to a few nostalgic fellows, marvel at a display of rare items, and visit our dungeon to see imprisoned villains from your last nightmare. 

When? Monday, Nov 17, 2025 Testa: 16:30 until 17:00 CET Testera: 17:15 until 17:45 CET Testebra: 18:00 until 18:30 CET

Where? A teleporter will appear south of Thais crossroads several minutes before the start. Just step in to access the Isle of Merriment.

See you there!

Dear Tibians, today we would like to present you a special dev note. It is about the long awaited Vocation Balancing we are planning to roll out in the near future.

Given how significant these changes may be, we would like to involve you in the development process by collecting your feedback along the way.

To start with, the vision behind this project rests on three key pillars:

1. Strengthening the role of each vocation

2. Introducing gameplay innovation

3. Enhancing quality of life

With that in mind, we will walk you through the main aspects of vocation balancing, share some detailed examples, and look forward to your constructive feedback to help us refine and perfect the project.

To lay out this new feature in detail, we have prepared an extensive dev note. We would kindly ask you to read it very carefully before you answer the questions in the thread.

Until November 19, 10:00 CET you can share your opinions, ideas, suggestions and criticism about this topic with us in the comments.

Thank you for participating and sharing your thoughts,

The nights are getting darker and darker! It is up to you to brighten the sky, or evil forces will break through into our world. Team up with your comrades and show the darkness what you are made of!

From server save November 11 until server save November 15, ten fire basins need to be kept burning to dispel the lingering gloom. But watch out - if a single light goes out, your world has failed!

Please note that we have made some changes to the event, as announced in the August news article:

• The level cap for redeeming midnight shards has been removed, and the maximum number of midnight shards that can be redeemed for experience has been increased to 80 (from 40).
• The burning time of the basins has been increased from 2 to 3 hours.
• In addition to the shared XP bonus, a world reward of +3% life leech and +1% mana leech will now be available until the end of November.
• Players will receive 1-3 midnight shards for lighting a basin, with the shards being placed directly into the player's inventory.
• The final brocade backpack reward has a rare chance to include a new item, the celestial torch.

 If you are interested in helping, you may want to visit Lucius in Yalahar once the event has started. Also, some of our supported and promoted fansites provide detailed guides with useful information about this happening, so pay them a visit. It is also a good idea to check your world board to see if other players have already started with preparations for the Lightbearer.

To the torches!
