The Tibia Council was created because devs wanted to discuss game relevant topics with selected players to create lists of suggestions together on how to improve the topics in discussion. They were mainly looking for solutions that can be worked on and implemented rather quickly and directly. The first group was focused on hunting grounds in Tibia. The content team and the community managers invited a couple of players to this group who caught their attention in a positive way because they diligently provided constructive criticism and valuable feedback during previous update tests, and also on the Tibia boards. They contacted the selected players in advance to make sure they want to participate.

The focus group provided Cipsoft feedback for new hunting grounds (Yalahar: a new hunting ground with war golems was placed in the Factory Quarter, Svargrond surroundings: a new special mammoth cave was added. etc.) and changes on existing hunting grounds (Svargrond Barbarian Camp, Yalahar Factory Quarter etc). Here's a link with extra details as there's too much to mention:

The Tibia Council doesn't exist anymore sadly, here's to say in the future they won't start it again though. Here's what Cipsoft thinks of Focus Groups currently:

Why didn't you make a focus group?

While focus groups can give valuable insight, they only constitute a part of the player base. Participants have their own ideas which are at times hard to reconcile with everyone's opinion. Moreover, some players who could provide great feedback might for whatever reason be unwilling or unable to take part in the discussions while still being affected by the changes.

What can we do to share our opinions if there's no Tibia Council now? 

Also, a Tibia Council group will last for a certain time only, and it will focus on specific topics instead of broad areas of interest.

However, we would like to run this as a pilot project first so we will start with just one Tibia Council group. This group will focus on hunting grounds in Tibia.

14 players were invited to the first Tibia Council, however only some players are noted on my source so I don't have a complete list:

Council CertificateCouncil Certificate- Awarded to members of the Tibia Council. Known winners are:

  • Arkshi
