tibia is a free MMORPG. For us, the term "free" is not only a marketing expression but a commitment to deliver quality content to all of our players. Tibia Gold offers extensive free content, more than many other games out there, and we invest a fair amount of time and money in its enhancements. In addition, Tibia Gold offers a vast amount of premium content for all of those players who want to experience the whole of Tibia Gold with all its exciting territories, islands and creatures. It is no secret that our well being as a company depends to a large extent on our ability to attract new premium players, to please them with our premium content and to convince them that our game is worth the money they are about to spend. We are very proud that around 100,000 of our players really seem to like what we are doing and therefore decided to buy premium time. This not only puts us in the position to invest money in the further development of Tibia Gold. It is also a sort of confirmation for being on the right track.
Over the last few years, we have received much feedback and gathered a lot of information concerning the possibility to purchase premium time in different countries. What we have found out is that many of you are not able to buy your premium time directly from us but are forced to purchase it through highly risky and untrustworthy sources. We know that there are many unofficial resellers out there, some of them are doing a great job and others unfortunately do not. What are the most unpleasant issues that we have come across? Well, in general it looks like this:
The current situation Imagine, a free account player would like to upgrade his account to premium status. In order to do so, he enters his account page and clicks the "Add Premium Time" button. Unfortunately, he is too young to have a credit card for himself and the wire transfer option just seems too expensive for him. What to do? He takes a look at some internet sites and quickly seems to have found a handy solution to his problem. Some website offers " Tibia Gold Premium Time - No credit card required". Sounds promising, doesn't it? Well, the truth is, he might either be very lucky and has found one of the few responsible and trustworthy, but still unofficial resellers, or - and that is the more likely situation - he has to face the following problem: "Am I willing to pay up to thrice the amount of money that is published on Tibia Gold in advance to some person I have never seen before without any guarantee that I will ever get my premium time? In addition, I have to go to some untrustworthy website, where I might have to enter some private and / or account data, which CipSoft keeps telling me all the time NOT TO DO!!! So, all in all, do I want to pay too much money for the risk of losing both my money and my account?" We suppose the answer to this is quite easy.
