Teenage me was so glad to have found Tibia after I ran into a wall trying to play UO from Germany with no CC. Thus I never got into UO, but randomly came across Tibia. Back then it still ran on the server of the University of Regensburg where the German developers went to uni while creating the game. The community was so small back then, one of the friends of the developers, acting as community guy, even gave me a little tour around the game, showing me hidden zones where people would train block skill on a bunch of spiders stacked on one tile. Explaining the basic rules how players should behave towards each other as not to come into conflict with "the law", which was players acting as sheriffs. And it was totally free to play, which blew my mind back then after I didn't get to play UO due to 14 years old me not having a CC.
