The Edron section is finally done after some delays. I focused mostly on this section as it was quite large and covered some other areas as well. I have a good chunk of the Item Section done but it isn't ready to launch so I'll release separately in December.

I have most of the Darashia section written and have begun the Player Experience section which will be fairly large due to the content. Looking to finish this project by the end of the year so I can work on some of the side content. We are now at year 5 year of Tibia so 20% of Tibia's history has been told, just to put this in perspective.

The Abby section is now complete and added to the History of Tibia section. It ended up being a much bigger section then I first though. I have also added a very large and detailed history of Wizards and GMs in the Vignettes section, I hope you enjoy!

I have most of the Edron section written in first draft, but it is also another large bit so I don't expect to finish it until early November. The item history section, which I have been chipping away at, will be done by that time. I won't be expanding this past the end of Beta 6 at this time, but what I have should give you insight into how weapons and armor were shaped in Tibia's early days which I found interesting.

The Darashia section and Player Experience sections I have just begin writing. I hope to finish the whole Beta 6 section by the end of the year which should leave some minor side projects left. Beta 6 really saw a lot of change, more then I realized.

Don't forget to come visit us in our discord. We have a history discussion section there if you have any questions or additions.

I've been working on Beta 6 since the last update and have made quite a bit of progress. The size of 6 was much larger than I first thought so I have had to break it up into smaller chunks. Today's chunk will be from the start of Beta 6 to the Kaz update which is pretty large. The next one will be in three weeks or so which will cover the Abby update. I have most of this written but need to finalize the text and begin adding the graphics which is pretty time consuming. Edron and Cormaya will be next but I'm only on the first draft of this. I expect this to be done around early November. Finally I have the Darashia update plus the player experience which I haven't started on but am hoping to complete by Christmas.

With today's update will come some other additions to the site. The long awaited item history that I never got around to on the original site has now been finished up to Beta 4. I will be slowly expanding this to cover up to the end of Beta 6 and hope to have the search by equipment part done along with it, which I hope will look something similar to the old WoT site. This section will eventually be expanded to cover trees and other items from the past but this will be a slower rollout due to the size.

I've also added a new Vignettes of History section which will cover side topics such as early Tibian duping, guild and site history (ones I've completed so far) and a submitted history of Eternia by Muir. I have several more documents planned such as: the race to level 100, the history of GMs and rules, a history of Greenwood and how it evolved into Abby, the rise of Tibia as a data set, and finally demographics of Tibia (I've started all of these already). No timeline on completion but will launch whenever they are complete as its mostly text based. The old keys section was expanded with all the known keys I could find and am pretty confident the only ones missing are present keys and some of the old house/guild hall keys.

While I've been researching I noticed a real need to track and preserve old Tibian articles as they contain so much useful information that is easily lost. I will be adding a section in the future to link all of those that I have found but this will take some time. I also have plans to chronicle some of the early Tibian wars but this will likely wait until after Version 6 is complete. Player wedding section will also be awhile but the site will eventually have as many of the old screenshots as I can recover.

On a final note, I view this project as a working document so I have also updated older sections as new information becomes available. I had a significant backlog of changes to make which will slowly be added in over the next few months. At some point I would also like to replace the frames the site uses with something more mobile friendly.

I hope you are enjoying this as much as I have for creating it. Please feel free to leave a comment in our Discord, we would love to hear from you!

So beta 5 took me a lot longer than I had panned and when you look at it you will see why. The amount of information I was able to piece together doubled the history of Tibia, easily making it the largest addition to date. One of the challenges I had with this version is that I couldn't find much info for 2000. It's like the Wayback Machine missed these dates for a lot of sites so I am sure I am missing something, especially events. If you know of anything significant that happened in game in 2000 that I missed please let me know in the discord.

I have also added the Tibanic expeditions, both the first and the second though the second still needs some appropriate text. I thought you might like to see the comparison between the two Tibanics as most only post screens from one or the other. I hope to have this fully finished this week as well as a few more of the other sections I have been working on.

Now that Beta 5 is done I will begin work on Beta 6 though this will be a much slower process as it is very large. I don't expect to finish this closer to the fall as there is a lot of research to do and I want to finish up the smaller sections on the site.

I hope you enjoy taking a walk through history with me!
