Announcements - Lucidity! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lucidity! The planned start of the Lucidity, the second world of Castabra will take place on 3 November 2022 at 18:00 BRT (22:00 CET). First of all we would like to express our greatest appreciation to our players of Castabra - we have been overwhelmed by the support and feedback from the community. Castabra has been a huge success since starting and this is down to the community and the hard work of our team. Whilst Castabra has been running we are always considering how to continue perfecting your playing experience, and we are extremely excited to show you the developments in the new world, Lucidity. The Castabra project was launched to connect with a new community for us, the BR/USA community. When we first launched we sat around 100-150 players and in such a short space of time the server grew rapidly day by day, and within 4-5 weeks there was a stable 600+ players online. Having 1,000+ players was never our goal, but to engage with a new community and produce a server everyone loved and enjoyed was top of the list. We must express our huge gratitude to the Administrator of Old Tibia Fanpage and his support network, for without their leadership, ideas and strategies, we would not be here announcing this incredible project today. With Castabra's success we have also concentrated our efforts on developing a server that welcomes both our EU and BR/USA community. Through hours of meticulous testing we can now invite you to a unique server from which everyone can join - offering an incredible opportunity to merge two huge communities, on one impressive server. Our goal for several years has been to perfect the infrastructure of our server enabling players from across the world to connect in one place. It may surprise you as we announce this today, but finally we can share our long term project. When you login to Castabra our infrastructure is automatically connecting you to several servers, optimizing the best possible connection and providing you with the most stable option. We are now able to share the astounding result of our long journey with you, offering the first ever server where you can connect from anywhere in the world! The hard work has been done, we ask you to join us and enjoy it for yourself! Although at first we were sceptical, our new partners at Old Tibia Fanpage and the wonderful BR/USA community have opened our eyes to a new way of playing. We have been hosting servers for the EU community for many many years and all the changes and suggestions made for Castabra were completely against our usual way of working! Adding a built in bot including cave bot, we thought this was crazy! It's because of this experience that we are able to find the conclusions we have today and refine an exciting new world to bring you. Let's face it, our beautiful games community from across the world is appealing to a huge percentage of players slowly getting less time to play. Following Castabra and reviewing every single impact this implementation had we have established the perfect balance - keeping a totally clean Cave Bot and strictly removing all PVP bot functions. This has not been a simple process, taking all feedback into consideration and ensuring the new system works perfectly, your game-play experience will now offer a solution for people with less time and include benefits for those who have more. We accept that in the past, mistakes have been made and steep learning curves have been endured. One of the key points of pain was over powered spawns playing a large role in making servers unbalanced or perhaps.. favorable to certain people. This incredible new world will not host any of these broken spawns, having reconnected with the community on what is important and exploring successful options from the more original, beautiful part of the game. To give some clarity on the burning questions we know both our EU community and BR/USA community will have, we would like to inform everybody of a few hot topics about the server: There will be no Inquisition There is no PZ on boats or carpets PVP enforced (the same as Castabra Infinity) Anti noob char system for War Exori Vis is following target Shared exp bonus for each different vocation in your party (a maximum of 60% extra for all 4 vocations) Tasks will be for Money only, no EXP tasks Frag system (please see Server information) No overpowered custom spawns No overpowered custom items List of spawns for upcomming Castabra 8.0: Chimeras Necros above Chimeras Bonedemons Edron Chaos Hydras Venom and Toxic Spiders Brand-new orcs southern of Thais Eyelords both spawns Cursed Mummies Ankrahmun Walls Ankrahmun 60+ Tomb Drefia Tomb Additionaly, many of you are asking about the vocations balance. It'll be mostly Kasteria balance, however with some nice additions that should improve the game: Improved burst arrows for mages. Mages from now can use these to fight against others, the power of bursts is compared to 7.92 version. Improved Explosion rune which makes it useable again for each vocation - even Knights. Wild Growth rune for Druids. Druids from now can shot Wild Growths from far. We would like to invite you to our discord server https://discord.gg/4wPCNJ6, where you can talk with the entire support, propose your changes, conduct discussions and look for companions to play together! Castabra has been structured and designed to meet the current player requirements and all in all give back to the community something you have all been waiting for.
