<p>It seems the idea of the Tibia Council is mentioned on December 16 2000, where a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.tibia.com/news/?subtopic=newsarchive&id=18&fbegind=9&fbeginm=1&fbeginy=2000&fendd=8&fendm=11&fendy=2002&flist=11111111">news article</a> states, "a new election of the Tibian Council members is starting. Take a look at our voting page to find the election outline. You will already see a list of all candidates and their unedited statements in which they declare why you should vote for them..." However, I don't have further information on the members and what it was about.</p><p>However, we do know in the recent past the most known 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.</p><p>Source: https://www.tibia.com/news/?subtopic=newsarchive&id=2297&fbegind=13&fbeginm=1&fbeginy=2011&fendd=12&fendm=2&fendy=2020&flist=11111111</p><p>The participate.

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.</span></span></span></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="color:#5a2800">Source: </span><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.tibia.com/forum/?action=thread&postid=38875063#post38875063">https://www.tibia.com/forum/?action=thread&postid=38875063#post38875063</a></span></span></p><hr><p><span changes.</span></span></span></p></blockquote><hr><p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">What can we do to share our opinions if there's no Tibia Council now? </span></span></p><ul><li><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">We can continue sharing our thoughts on the current forums we have on the official Tibia website: <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.tibia.com/forum/?action=main&sectionid=12">https://www.tibia.com/forum/?action=main&sectionid=12</a> </span></span></li><li><span on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.tibia.com/forum/?action=main&sectionid=12">Tibia's Forums</a></span></span></li><li><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">We can also provide our feedback by submitting a feedback form on the website here: <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.tibia.com/community/?subtopic=feedbackform">https://www.tibia.com/community/?subtopic=feedbackform</a></span></span></li></ul><blockquote><p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="color:#5a2800">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.</span><br><br><span style="color:#5a2800">However, we would like to run this as a pilot project first so we will start with just one Tibia Council group.
