https://youtube.com/watch?v=NU8DXN2zsNMOpen Tibia is a project that aims to Open Source the proprietary 2D MMORPG Tibia by CipSoft GmbH.
It was started sometime around 2002-2003 and has come a long way, having developed fully functional Open Source Game Clients, Game Servers, Map Editors, Monster Editors, NPC Editors, Item Editors, Websites, and much more.
All this software is available in Windows binaries as well as source code for use both on Windows, Linux and in some cases Android and other platforms (Unity).
Players, monsters, NPCs, spells, items, skills, chatting, walking, speaking, effects, everything is controlled completely by the game server, making it impossible to cheat beyond macroing and botting - hackers modifying the game client doesn't accomplish anything, for example modifying character speed does nothing since the server controls every single tiled step and movement completely - if the character moves too quickly the movement is immediately canceled, same for every other case, making Open Tibia a great reliable platform to develop 2D MMORPGs/MMO action/MMO adventure/MMO retro games with.
Some noteworthy custom games having been made with Open Tibia tools: Pacman,
,
, CTF,
Snowball war,
Counter Strike,
Pokemon,
Zombie event,
MOBAs, War servers (no loss on death, infinite resources, small maps, etc) and much much more.
Search youtube for "Open Tibia custom" for more custom games.
Many thousands of Open Tibia servers have been created, in this writing moment there's 436 servers online; see https://otservlist.org/The main English forum for Open Tibia can be found at
https://otland.net/
However due to highly authoritarian leadership, OTLand staff ignoring their own rules, and frequent censorship, a brand new alternative community site has been founded at
https://opentibia.dev/ with the goal of seeking to rebuild our once entrepreneurial community.
The most popular client can be found at

Revshare: I'm willing to pay upfront for well researched and well written wiki articles, and I run my own for profit projects, if you're able to contribute you may have a share. First planned launch: between Nov 2020 and early 2021.
I personally consider myself a lead programmer (system developer) and gamedev/technical visionary.
Revshare/paid positions mainly for C++ programmers and wiki contributors/researchers, small shares might be available for pixel artists, website and logo designers.
Edit: Not sure why youtube links in the middle of the post was automatically embedded while the first ones were not..
Not much I can do about it except remove all links to youtube which is a nogo.
