Tibia was popular as hell in Poland when I was about 14, it was an excellent game for our reality. It didn't weigh much, so our poor connection allowed everyone to download it and the requirements was low as well, so every PC could run it. I remember how I played it on school computers with my friends. Honestly speaking, I never achieved anything major within the game as I preferred 3D approach proposed by offline games, though I admired community.
I never heard about Medivia before I started working. So, my relationship with the Medivia was money-only at first, but after the first test server (Garrogat, Osaris and Yehsha update) I started loving how it works, how the community behaves and overall how the things look in the game. Now, I really love working here and I feel really connected with the game.
