my story with tibia this time?
Hi everyone,
This is my first Reddit post. My name is NobleMase, I'm from Chile, and I've been playing Tibia since 2006. I was born in 1997, the same year Tibia was released, which I always thought was a funny coincidence.
Sorry if my English isn't perfect. I wanted to write this myself instead of using AI because it feels more personal. (i use ai anyway bcs the all text was spamming ,srry but i feel like its similar and to the point xD if u wanna the original i can post it later)
A few months ago, my life changed completely.
After coming home from university, I had a terrible accident. A candle started a fire while I was sleeping. I woke up around 4 AM with my room on fire. I used my bare hands to put out the flames before the firefighters arrived.
I spent almost two months in the hospital. Both of my hands and my right foot were badly burned. For a while, I couldn't even use my hands, and recovery was one of the hardest things I've ever experienced.
During that time I started questioning everything. I had been developing video games for years, but after the accident I lost confidence in myself. I wasn't sure if I would ever enjoy making games again.
One thing never left me, though: Tibia.
When I slowly recovered enough to play again, it reminded me why I loved this game as a kid. It wasn't about experience, profit, or levels anymore. It was simply about escaping for a while and feeling safe.
Because of my injuries, I even had to adapt how I played. At one point I used voice commands for spells and whatever movement I could manage. It wasn't efficient, but it let me enjoy the game again.
Nowadays I'm doing much better physically. I'm still rebuilding my confidence, both in life and in game development, but Tibia has become a place where I can relax instead of overthinking everything.
For the first time in years, I'm trying to experience Tibia simply as a player—not as a game developer analyzing every mechanic.
I'm almost 29 years old now. Sometimes I worry that I'm getting too old to chase my dreams, but I'm still here, still alive, and still logging into the same game that has been part of my life since childhood.
I don't know what the future holds. Maybe I'll make games again. Maybe not.
But Tibia reminded me that sometimes surviving is already a victory.
Thanks to everyone who keeps this community alive after all these years.
Hail Tibia.
P.S. I still hope someone finally solves the Beholder language mystery someday. :)
