Best Tibia Private Servers

What is a Tibia private server?

Tibia is a 2D tile-based fantasy MMORPG from CipSoft, released in January 1997 and one of the longest-running online RPGs. Open Tibia servers (OTS) are community-run worlds built on reverse-engineered server software, usually played with the official or custom clients. They exist to offer rates, features, custom maps and old protocol versions that the official game does not. The scene is large: a directory showed 630 servers at the time of research, spanning retro 7.x, the common 8.60, and custom evolutions with mobile clients, led by Brazilian and Polish communities.

A short history of Tibia

Tibia was first released in 1997 by CipSoft. These are the milestones that shaped what private servers look like today.

Tibia versions explained

Almost every private server picks one version of the game and sticks to it, so the version decides which content, classes and mechanics you get. Use this table to match a version to the style you want, then filter the server list accordingly.

Tibia server types

Regions, languages and daily saves

Where a server sits affects ping and who you play with. Hosts and languages in the table come from each server's own pages, and the save time is when the world restarts each day. See the Tibia list for filters.

Launch and update calendar

A fresh launch brings people but also risk. These dates are all taken from server sites, and they show how many projects started within a few weeks of each other.

Brand-new launches mean small populations: Inferna74 showed about 12 players days after opening. Wait a week or two if you want a crowd, or join early if you want a say in the community. Our wipes explainer covers season resets.

Custom systems and what they change

Custom RPG and EVO servers add systems that official Tibia lacks. They define the long-term loop, so read them before you commit.

Compare these with the plain 1x style of 7.4 servers, or browse custom EVO for the other end.

Pitfalls specific to this scene

• Memoria Online's site shows a browser safety warning that it describes as a false positive, so verify the download source yourself.
• Cyleria's Discord invite on its site was invalid when we checked, and Evolunia exposes none, so we list no Discord for them.
• OTLand says it has no official server list or Discord, so impersonators exist.
• Some sites do not state rates on the front page, such as Cyleria and Louco Serv.
• Brand-new launches have small communities: Rayvin and TibiaNU had Discords of roughly 140 and 120 members at our check, so groups and trades take longer to find.

Age and community size

How long a server has been online is a useful proxy for stability, though not a guarantee. These figures are as stated on the sites.

Size is not the only signal. Cyleria and Eloria describe long-term, no-reset play, which suits players who want their time to last, while Oxygen runs seasons with changelogs for each patch. Match the reset policy to how much time you can give.

An older server has had time to fix problems and build a community, while a new one offers a clean start. Read the Tibia 8.60 servers page if you prefer a mid-era client with a long history, and see how to choose a private server for the wider checklist.

Tibia terms worth knowing

How Tibia private servers work

A private server is software that re-implements the game's back end so the official or a patched client can connect to it. For Tibia the common building blocks are The Forgotten Server (TFS), Canary, OTServBR. Servers are listed with an IP and port 7171. Each project distributes its own client, so only download from the official site.

How to choose a Tibia server

Work through this checklist before you commit time or money to any server:

1. Check client version and map type
2. Read rates and stages
3. Check players online
4. Read frag and skull rules
5. Check launch date and news dates
6. Validate Discord
7. Look at shop items
8. Check host region and ping proxies

Safety, scams and legality

• OTLand says it has no official server list or Discord, so treat lists with caution
• Download clients only from the server's own site
• Never reuse your CipSoft password
• Shops sell points; check pay-to-win before donating
• New launches can disappear quickly

Getting started on a Tibia server

1. 1

   Pick a server

   Start from the Tibia server list or the most voted servers, and read the description, rates and rules.

2. 2

   Check the server’s own website

   Confirm it is online, shows recent news and states its version. Our status checks help, but the website is the source of truth.

3. 3

   Install the client

   Server website provides its own client download or an OTClient; some support Android and iOS

4. 4

   Check requirements

   Servers are listed with an IP and port 7171. Each project distributes its own client, so only download from the official site.

5. 5

   Join the community

   Most servers run a Discord. Ask about wipes, staff and the donation policy before you spend anything.

Still deciding? Compare Tibia servers by votes, rates and recent activity, read the glossary for any unfamiliar terms, and check a server's status before you download anything. If you run a server yourself, listing it is free.
