Introduce yourself!

[HolmaN]

There's prolly a old one laying around, back in the forum archve. But it's obviously outdated, so keep us updated with what you're dowing nowdays.
What do you work with, name, age, games you're playing, tibia status along with history if you decide o share that, where do you live, how's your life and so on. Feel free to add questions if you feel to do so ignore the question asked if that's what you rather do. We need to start to know each other for a better community.

Well, when it comes to me..
My name is Jonathan Holm. I'm currently working for Volkswagen Sweden, as a mechanic / technichian. I used to be working as a semi engineer / technichian in Norways for Ford, but I couldn't stay away ffrom my girlfriend and family in Sweden so I moved home. I'm born and raised in Göteborg, Sweden along with my 5 years older sister Caroline. My parents seperated my age of 6. I recently bought a new apartment and moved in together with my girlfriend Victoria. That was a huge step, but for sure nothing I regret.
I'm playing on Olympa, when there's time that is. Been playing there for perhaps 2 years now. I used to be one of the biggest goldresellers on Olympa untill the gold price dropped and I decide to sell characters instead. My current project is www.XenoChars.com, where I'm selling characters as a reseller on many diffrent servers and servertypes. Obviously selling some gold, but far from as much as before.
But we shouldn't be talking about that. I've been around for a long time, I actually started useing the same nickname as I do today a couple of years ago on OTFans. (Join Date 15th September 2006). Started off as a member, as everyone else. Enden up as a moderator, time went back and I got backstabbed and later decide to go rage to get banned as no one wanted to ban me. I knew that if I wasn't bannished, I'd get back to the forum one day, and that wasn't anything I wanted. I joined OTland after that, I was actually a member before, but got active at that time. Unfortuntly, me and Nick (DarkstaR) threat them by planing a hack attempt towards their DB. So I got bannished along with Darkstar. Everything begin with a saff member on OTland sharing a .rar including the current version of XenoBot at that time. That was during the start when the bot had no log in system and was under beta. Plenty of members of the forum was useing and sharing the bot, and note that this was right after a update from cipsoft and would prolly last for a while.
When I was bannished, they gave me this reason:

You have been banned for the following reason:
When you and your people hack otland, you can remove this ban.

Date the ban will be lifted: Never

I replyed with this a while after: http://otland.net/f21/i-just-came-say-hello-158268/

And was then bannished again... I wont bother any longer, as OTland is shit anyways.
After the time on OTland, I went to TibiaUnderground (TibiaUG/TUG), were I meet plenty of new friends. We all allied and made a huge guild on Olympa, Mirage.. The old Mirage.. Hosting poi etc, we actually cleaned poi once with 15 polaks as customers in 1.5h WITHOUT any knights or druids. We were 2-3 pladins and maybe 4-6 sorcs.
The guild included most of the forum by then, and many of us were high levels. I remember us being over 20 people with characters above 200, a few over 300 and a level 400. That time was great.
And as with everything, the time of TibiaUnderground was counted and the forum died out, as the admins went wiered and started banning almost the entire staff for ingame accidents. That was no longer a great place to hang, it was retarded..
I was in the staff on TUG along with Naro, XtrmJosh, DarkstaR (he left at the time I joined the staff tho), SamDaMan, Luls and Messed Around from this XenoBot forum. I've actually known them all for years now, but I belive Sam and DarsktaR have been my friends for longest. Should be close to 6 years now.. Wow, the time pass by quick.
Soon after TUG died, people went on and got more active on XenoBot Forums, and I got stuck, as always. My replutation wasn't as good here as it was on TUG as noone knew me more than the staff from here basicly. But I hope that has changed. I'm still yet a very trusted person I hope, but that's nothing towards what I was on TUG.

That was all for now, share your life with us/me :)

With kind regards, HolmaN.

[Infernal Bolt]

So here's my story...
My name is Anton. I'm currently unemployed and have been for the past 4 years. Born and raised in Skellefteå, Sweden. I started playing tibia at version 7.3, it was back in 2004. The first server I played was Lunara since all my friends played there. Me and my friends enjoyed killing people and that's about all we did for a couple of years.

I started playing Xerena when they released that server and met a guy who I then started to talk to. His main server was Refugia so I started playing Refugia but I eventually stopped talking to him.
I went back to Lunara to play with my friends again, played there for a few months and then moved to Refugia again.

I registered on Tibiabot forums early 2007 under the name Infernal Bolt but it wasn't until around June when I made my first project that I first started posting. The reason I chose Infernal Bolt was that they just introduced them into the game and I was playing a paladin at the time.

My first paladin project got very popular due to the fact that no one really tried skilling on goblins after the 8.0 update. Before that update you had to pick up stones everytime you threw them and now you didn't have to do that anymore which made it ALOT easier to train with them. The project got around 1000 posts in less then a month but I eventually stopped the project due to the limitations of NG Bot.

I stopped playing tibia just before 8.1, tried WoW, played that for about a year and then came back to tibia at around 8.3. My friends had moved to Danubia so I started playing there, got a pally up to around 60 and then got hunted because I was friends with my friends(fml).

I started Leveling a druid, got 70 then joined the team Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
We had a lot of fun killing the leading power abusing guild. Unfortunately the YouTube account I had all the pk vids on got deleted because of copyright :(

Here's 2 movies from the time, I'll make them links since its easier to read without having videos in the middle.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiHdRXrzl7I
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmcoyL8XgE0

After that I had some projects barely worth mentioning.
ElfBot died, tried TUGbot, moved on to Neobot. I noticed XenoBot in early 2011, I didn't think much of it at the time since it didn't have any cavebot and that's the only thing I use the bots for.
Neobot died so I went to XenoBot since it had cavebot now :D
That's about it.

[Gordo]

ill share mine:

My name is Miguel, im from San Diego, California (USA) im 18 and im a full time student, hope to graduate in six years, majoring in law.
i started playing tibia back in 2007, at the time i didnt know much about the game, my cousins were playing and told me to try it( back in those time my three cousins that played were in the top 25 of the server). They played in Menera, but since i was such a noob i didnt know about the server or anything else, so i actually started playing in Antica, since back then that was the first server on the list >.<. i had to make another char and start over, now i think about it a laugh. i also remember when i die 3 times trying to kill a wisp hahaha (that was in antica in my first char). so i started playing in menera and pretty much never move from there. ive played in Solera since a couple RL friends played there but didnt stay for long since the server was in war and everyone kill everyone, sucked at the time for me people just killed me and i didnt know why. Has far as botting i started with BlackD proxy in 2009 cost me 100k i remeber for 1 year, i was pretty noobie and only got like 50 lvls that whole year. them i stop playing RL and move to OT'S and otlands, i was trying to mount my own server but never could, and return to tibia. Found out about xeno in neoforums back in October ( ithink) of 2011 and just check it out and like it and stayed here. and now im botting and manualing my main in menera :)

It is kind of sad, isn't it? Didn't even catch this thread at the time it was started, seems it got buried pretty quick. I'm gonna have to type something up about myself, I suppose. I'll do it tomorrow when I'm not so tired. You should too, Sam!

[DarkstaR]

My name is DarkstaR, but some of you know me as Nick. I work full-time making computers my bitch. I develop data processing software for a company called TechSafari as well as write and manage XenoBot. At times, many people take me as rude or think I'm a dick because I don't sugarcoat what I say, though I'm actually a pretty nice guy when it comes down to it. I started Tibia 8 years ago around 7.4 or 7.5, while I was living in California, though I didn't have any real memories or characters until 7.6. I quickly made my way into OT servers and by the age of 12 I started scripting in Lua at OTFans, where I met @SamDaMan (http://forums.xenobot.net/member.php?u=2517) and @HolmaN (http://forums.xenobot.net/member.php?u=20). By the time I was 13, nearly 14, I had gotten really good at Lua - besides the real programmers who did Lua, I was one of the best Lua scripters on the forum. When I turned 14, though, an unfortunate set of circumstances took me away from the computer for a year. During this time I studied development and software whenever possible. Fast forward to barely over a year later, I'm back at home and able to use my computer again. @SamDaMan (http://forums.xenobot.net/member.php?u=2517) invites me to Tibia Underground, which is where I met most of the current staff. I quickly dive back in to Lua and realize that I had gotten much better at conceptual programming logic. I moved to Tennessee around this time and I became a member at TPForums where @Jo3Bingham (http://forums.xenobot.net/member.php?u=6) got me started in VB6 and mentored me in bot development. I used bot development to drown out the fact that I was in a new place with no friends; I quickly got good at it. Around 16 I started learning minimal C++ for OT Servers while I also took up VB.NET and started making TUGBot. TUGBot got very good very fast considering my experience, but, due to my lack of formal guidance, ended up being very sloppy and unscalable.

When I turned 17, I scrapped the TUGBot project and started making XenoBot in C++ - I actually called it TUGBot++ at first. XenoBot went under 3 re-writes until I felt the code was ready to go BETA, giving it a release date of Dec 18, 2010 at version 8.6. A few months in, OTLand moderators stole it and started releasing it for free. When standing up to the mods, with many people at my back, I ended up getting banned because, over there, corruption is king. Anyways, XenoBot kept going and getting better until June of 2011, when I got kicked out of my house. I live in my car for a few weeks, still working on XenoBot from the McDonalds WiFi, and kept pushing out releases (Including the HUGE 9.1 update which took a week). After a while of living in my car and going couch-to-couch, I moved across the country to Oklahoma and started a business doing freelance software development with @Zyphrus (http://forums.xenobot.net/member.php?u=7). 6 months on that grind before I moved back to Tennessee and worked 70 hour weeks in a Denso factory. Dec 28th, 2011, 3 days before I started work at Denso, XenoBot blew up due to the discontinuation of Neo. After 6 few months, I was able to quit Denso and spend 3 months on full-time XenoBot, before moving to Georgia and starting my job as a Programmer Analyst in July of this year.

Oh, and all the while, I played Morgana, Xerena, Vinera, Dolera and Solera. I now have all my mains on Solera.

[Syntax]

Hello, my name is Cavitt, I use the alias Syntax most of the time. I first played tibia around 2005, getting in to OT in late 2005. Otcommunity was the first active board I was a part of, it eventually closed down and everyone dissolved in to either TibiaFans or OTFans. I began developing OT servers not too long after, starting with Brabexia, SheenOT, and a few others. The next years my activity was off and on, and I mainly made community scripts and honed my Lua scripting. By the time I graduated high school, OT had already taught me Lua, MySQL, XML, PHP, Javascript, and some C.

Two weeks after graduating high school, I was kicked out and lived with a friend for two weeks before attending Sam Houston State University. I began working towards my BA in Computer Science during this time. Around the time Xenobot was taking off I jumped on as a Global Mod to help Nick, by then an already good friend. Though my forum activity did not directly express it, I became more so intrigued with the bot, as I was when Nick had introduced the primitive concept that was solely a war-bot. Not long after I began developing primitive programs to help boost the popularity of the bot, including the Neobot to Xenobot waypoint converter. Not long after the scripting system featuring my childhood language was introduced, I began developing a library of my own to compliment the native library. I was soon appointed Admin, joining the ranks of Joe and Nick himself. As the popularity of my library grew and as I began to re-factor to meet the convention of the native library, Nick and I decided to merge my contributions in to the releases and I began developing on the official library.

Lualand was my next project relating to Xenobot, this one having a more personal goal. The project was named after the already owned domain name I had bought as a function database relating to OpenTibia. Leading in to the project I had no real prior knowledge of PHP and JavaScript development, save the small adventures during OpenTibia manipulating Automatic Account Creators. A few days in to the project I was content with my newfound skills and began developing the framework. The bulk of JavaScript development revolved and relied on Google Maps API V3. The images were from a similar project hosted by TibiaML. This was the project that inspired the idea for offline waypoint development.

Nearing the end of my first year of college I had already began to bore of my CS courses, as anyone working with JAVA would. I also felt the heat of the stacking college loans. I took a break from college and began to take up a job at a survey firm to pay off the current student loans I had accrued. I was promoted three times within the year, up to a technician, where I monitored the productivity and quotas as well as handling the processing of the statistical data.

While still employed at the survey firm I applied to MediaFire and was contacted within the next two days. At the end of the week I signed on as a PHP & JavaScript Web Engineer at MediaFire. I currently work on the frontend of the site and couldn’t be happier with my position.

I'll do it tomorrow when I'm not so tired. You should too, Sam!

Who would read it but someone that I already know? It's pointless; there's nothing here for us, like I said.

[sara]

Hey, I'm Sara. I started tibia in 2003 and played both Antica and Harmonia, I quit in 2006 due to some real life issues and then came back in 2009, which was short lived as I quit later that year. I'm known on Otland for my mapping since that was something I was actually good at, I stopped mapping earlier this year.

I've only recently returned to Tibia, my friend Peroxide (also from Otland) convinced me to start again.

Funfact: I've never actually killed someone on real tibia the only pvp I've ever done was on an open-tibia server.

Get the fuck out.

[sara]

The sadness of playing only non-pvp. :(

[Neant]

Get the fuck out.

Signed.

On a more serious note: that is quite admirable. (Even though I myself think PvP is one of the key features of Tibia).

[ceeburi]

Joined forum on July, and am posting in here now D:
Anyways, am sofwan ibrahim from maldives, playing tibia since 2010 or 2009. on end of 2010 i quit and started playing again on june of 2012.
I am always on luminera :) cant seems to like to play in any other world... haha
anyways nice to meet you all. thanks.

ps. i really get scammed alot in-game :/ nub?

[Tengy]

Tengy here, known by some as Thor. Was active on the TUG forum HolmaN was talking about, quit tibia for some while, just playing casually manually on a lvl 7 atm for the lolz. Might get back into tibia, but i haven't decided yet.
Im from Norway, and I'm 16, thats all you need to know.
As for the nonpvp vs pvp; I always thought tibia was pointless without pvp.

[HolmaN]

Tengy + you've meet the awesome HolmaN in rl :) haha

[XtrmJosh]

OMG! Why didn't I see this yet?

Soooo...... My introduction.

Currently I'm 22 years old, I'm origionally from Peterborough (England), but moved to Cambridge for my career. I work full time as well as studying with the open university (If you're interested, it's a university you don't need to go anywhere for, 99% online, some shit needs to be printed & posted through mail though). I live with my gf of 5 years, Jess, in a flat no bigger than a corner shop. I'm currently buying my lair, a few miles out of Cambridge, in which I'll rig the entire house to a Rasberry Pi (using some of the sockets I'll control light fittings, curtains, music, power sockets, cooker, and doors. I've built the OS already, just need the electronics to drive the motors safely).

I started working last December in electronics testing, after some years of jobs at Sainsbury's (supermarket), Thomas Cook (Tour Operator, working in the call centre), and a few other places including McDonalds for over a year. In electronics I learned a lot, mostly about myself, and how bad I am at electronics. I blew up several thousands of pounds worth of printheads and circuit boards in the brief 8 months I worked in that job. I then got picked up by one of the software team (It's a very small company, just 20 or so people, and we make about a million pounds per year profit, that's $1.6 million ish). The guy spotted me writing a python script to speed up some of the testing I had to do (got really bored of it), and he noticed that the file was only created about 20 minutes before it was completed, and contained over 100 lines of code which worked perfectly. The script made use of the companies API, we produce software and electronics to drive print heads, and one of the things we offer is an API and a server, so the user uses our API to send commands via TCP/IP from their custom made client which controls the print server, which works in turn (via USB 3.0) with our hardware, to send very intricate signals to printheads, telling each nozzle (1024 on a "normal" head) when to jet ink. I started browsing our source codes, and learnt a lot about how to manipulate it, so today I'm head of the software testing department.

So enough about me "now", in the past... Well I started playing Tibia some 10 years ago, when I was just 12 years old, entering secondary school (I was one of the oldest in my year). I made friends with a guy called David, who played Tibia with his friend Sam (also in the school, but different classes meant we didn't actually meet at the school until year 9, when I was 14). Played for some months on Nova until Secura was released, then Premia when that came out. I bought premium for the first time about 2 weeks after logging in for the first time. My first character was Mali Regus, a level 20 druid on which I followed around David & Sam, healing them and occasionally shooting HMMs and SDs when I was feeling really adventurous! The character was quickly banned for use of macros when I found a program which allowed me to kill level 100+ players all by myself (using auto-reuse, there was no "use on target" back then, just auto-reuse bots). That ban got lifted after the 30 days, and I gave up my second account and reverted back to it, since my first still had a higher level character than it, and more money and better equipment, I also didn't know about parcels, one should note, and one of my characters was in Venore, the other Thais. So yeah, shortly after I moved to Premia I got hunted, then made a new character, got to level 30~, then got hunted, again, and again, and again. Eventually I managed to find a really nice spot on Premia (ghouls & skeletons in Ab'dendriel), where I stayed until one day getting killed by the guild which eventually formed Violent Saints, Vito Cascio Ferro, and, if my memory serves me correctly, split to also form Vengeance. I made that character up to level 115 before selling it and buying a level 140 elder druid, which I botted constantly at dragon lords until the stamina system came into play, at which point I became good friends with HolmaN (I'd bought the 140 ED from him previously, but we weren't so close). Of course I played HolmaNs 400 RP on Olympa and died on it repeatedly until he sold it, each time having to grind (or bot) back from 398, 399 to 400. I joined BugWT scripting team when I got the 140 ED, and made a few scripts & did community shit for them. Since then I've used all the bots out there (including, but not limited to: TibiaBot NG, Elfbot NG, TibiaAuto, BlackD Proxy, TUGBot, Neobot, iBot, bBot, RedBot Pro, and of course Xenobot). I've also been around most of the major communities in some way shape or form, including (as holman mentioned) TUG.

I didn't say much yet about my real life, I'm a motorcyclist of 4 years, currently riding a Suzuki Bandit (GSF 1200). I suffer with IBS, and several very abnormal phobis, as a result of misdiagnosed autism in my younger years. The autism also explains my inability to socialize and get on with people. Well that's really it, I guess.

Hope you enjoy me.

[Hack3r]

Hi, I'm Fahad and I'm 22 years old. I started playing this game ever since I was 10 years of age. Thats a long time ago. I first started as a sorcerer and it was the world Trimera. I cried when I first got pked. I really did cry, I remember he was a level 30 something pally and I said please, and he replied "I'm no please" right by north east thais snakes. Photographic memory :'(. I remember the days when me and my buddies would sit in the library figuring out a strategy to hunt cyclopses. Retarded shit I tell you, was fun at the time. I quit the game, then came back and learned about botting. Game changer.

I am from Kuwait, but I do travel quiet often. I live in Ireland currently, and have been living there ever since I was 16. I did highschool here and also got into medical school where I study.
Namely the Royal College of Surgeons Ireland. Class of 2015 niggas. I did manage to develop recurrent depressive episodes during my first few months living here, but after I learned about alcohol. Game changer.

Anyone from Ireland/Dublin, drop me a PM.

I like Xenobot because of its functionality, but also because the story Darkstar has is similar to my own brothers'. Kinda similar anyways, he was sent by my parents to australia to study what he likes, IT. (like how they sent me to ireland). Anyways, shit went smoothly for the first couple of semesters but then he got into drugs, hardcore drugs. Pissing my dads money on coke and getting drunk/parties. My father ceased contact with him after he found out and left my brother to rot in the streets. Hitting rock bottom as he called it, he couldn't buy any drugs/alcohol because he was simply hungry. He had to save every pence while he started working a part time job (my family dont do manual labour) and he started blogging about it. This taught him something the chinese call Disciprine, which changed his life till today where he works as a Managing Developer in a BIG telecommunications company called Zain in Kuwait. Hope you follow his foot steps DarkstaR

[HolmaN]

Of course I played HolmaNs 400 RP on Olympa and died on it repeatedly until he sold it, each time having to grind (or bot) back from 398, 399 to 400.


:( !!!

[XtrmJosh]

:( !!!

Them were the days bro <3

[HolmaN]

Yeah, haven't played in months kinda.. Miss when there always was 10 ppl on.
NEed a new game to play :(

[Goldfish]

I'm Alex. I have played Tibia since I was like 11.

I started playing and after awhile I began to hate bots, mainly because I didn't know how to use one. Then I found the forums tibiafans, and thus TibiaBot NG. I joined as the user Tweek (yeah.. doubt any of you would recognize me). I ended up as a moderator, then super mod and then admin. After I became an admin I quit Tibia. I slowly stopped coming to the forum while it died around me, only logging in once every week or two to ban the spammers trying to sell designer shoes. Eventually I realized the forum was going nowhere and didn't log in again..

Around 3 months ago, a friend started playing Tibia and invited me to play with him. I botted of course, using BlackD. Eventually finding Xeno here. In the last banwave I lost the level 60-70(can't remember exact level) Elite Knight I was botting (later discovered it was due to a script I used with BlackD, oh well, I'm happy with Xeno). So now I'm trying to get a FACC to level 100.

I graduated from high school last June, and all throughout high school, I did assistant IT work, so when the current IT guy left my senior year, I took over. Shockingly enough, there isn't many requirements for it. I have my CompTia A+ Certification and thats it. I don't know where the next step in my life is, but I'm here. Get used to it.

[Sspanky]

Name is Craig,

I live in Singapore but I'm from Scotland. I've been in Singapore for 5 years now but may be moving to Australia in the next few weeks. I'm 23 and work as an Inspector for OCTG (Oil Country Tubular Goods) so I spend a lot of time offshore. Recently accepted a new job that will mean I will no longer go offshore, just be a contact person for our customers in Australia. I'm getting married on Sunday (6/1/13) and have a pregnant GF so that made my decision for me.

i have been playing tibia for around 10 years, I started out on Malvera (2 weeks in rook woot) then quickly changed to Grimera. Me and a friend of mine made PK videos for some time and became so utterly hunted we had to leave (we got the first and possibly only frag with a summoned blazing fire elemental which was quite cool) lol After that I joined Kyra. I used NG for a long time without being banned before changing to Neo and ofc as time went on moved to xeno. lol
I was a member on TUG forums for quite some time, so i remember quite a few people here from there.
Currently I have just returned to playing tibia after 6 months or so out. Im playing on Aurera (Preview world) and all is going well.
I still occasionally play OT servers (spiderserver mainly) as its owned by a good friend of mine (I dont really like high exp servers) So im normally semi-afk on real tibia botting while i go there and "play" lol

Thats about it really, im not that much of an interesting guy haha

[HolmaN]

Good luck on the new job as well as with your new kid omming up and the wedding ofcorse mate.
