State of website update

As you perhaps have noticed, this website is no longer supported and important parts of the website, such as Activities, is no longer updating and hasn't been supported for quite a while.

The website is now well beyond 10 years old and there is no interest in maintaining the time consuming technical stuff that goes into building a working and reliable website. However, it has been a fun, learning and somewhat challenging experience.

Unfortunately, CipSoft headquarters never really chose to support any API of some sort. This website relied heavily on scanning through HTML-content which often broke down due to changes on their side or due to internal programming issues.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone that have participated in improving the website over the years. Much is obliged to those if you are still around to read this.

I hope for the best to the Tibia mmorpg even though I don't play it anymore, but you never know. I still have an account =)

Best regards, Nils

Website Status Update

Categories: Updates


As previously announced, we are moving the website to a new host provider.

We are starting to move the website on Monday, 9 December. Moving the whole website will take up to 7 days, during this time there is expected to be some intermittent downtime and possibly services temporarily not working, such as e-mail.

Update, 18th December:
We have now moved the website to a new hosting provider. There are still some things left to do, so parts of the website won't work 100% as expected. However, we are working on making sure it does! Once everything is back to normal and stable again, we will inform you =)

Update, 16th March:
There are some uptime issues with the website due to some technical server errors due to the new hosting provider. We are working to resolve this, but it has been a somewhat problematic process. The website is currently up and running again but it might be subject to intermittent downtime unfortunately. Once again, we will inform you when everything is back to normal.

Best regards, Nils

Important announcement - new web provider

We are changing provider for the website, this will mean that the website will be unavailable for an unspecified amount of time.

Unfortunately we do not know for how long the website will be unavailable, due to an unexpected shutdown from our current web provider. But we are looking into finding a new provider.

We will keep you updated on this situation.

Sorry for any inconvenience this might cause.

If there are any questions concerning this issue, don't hesitate to drop a comment in the comment section.

Best regards, Nils

TibiaHof.com is back to normal

For the last month the player activities have not been updated due to a new DDoS protection tool implemented over at tibia.com.

We rely on gathering player information from the player profiles at tibia.com. The DDoS protection tool prevented us from doing so.

We have now been able to fix this problem and player activities are now updating like normal again! :)

It should take somewhere between 1-2 weeks before all characters are updated again.

Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.

Update 2019-09-24:
We have also fixed Most Recent Characters which hasn't been working since June (!). So once again TibiaHof.com is tracking new random players.

Maintenance update

The website has been updated for maintenance.

Some new changes...

We have removed some functionality from the website which serves no purpose anymore.

* The forum has been removed. It was used to some extent when the website was launched and with all the contests, but it is rarely used anymore, so we have opted against it and removed it.

* Uploading multiple images at once is removed. Uploading multiple images at once with the Flash uploader is removed since Flash is no longer supported by most major web browsers over time. You will still be able to upload one image at a time, which is what most users use anyway.

* The tibia.com mirror is also removed. However, it might come back later.

Other than that the website will stay pretty much the same.

What does the future hold?

TibiaHof will focus more on what it's best at - Activities and Highscore lists.
