In a new episode of a bit of history with Milie, we have Tibiopedia.pl, which offers guides and many other useful tools, they are also active on content and updates. The item that represents them in Tibia is the magnificent Ferumbras Doll. If you are interested in knowing details and more about this item, don’t miss this interview with the Tibiopedia admin.
Mastro Daro (Administrator) will tell us some details about his website, fansite item and more.
Ferumbras doll’s Story
Tibiopedia and their fansite item, Ferumbras Doll are one of the oldest existing fansites in the Tibia Fansites program.
Mastro Daro:
The Ferumbras doll is over 13 years old, some memories already shadowed but but with this interview I was able to dig some old memories.
Let’s start the interview, how and when did the Ferumbras Doll selection process begin? Was it in contests or was it a request to a PixelArt artist directly?
On the first anniversary of the website we launched an article contest for fansites. It was 27.10.2009 (here is the news archive: News Archive).
There was a page prepared for this contest: Forum Fansite item.
Unfortunately it was a long time ago and we didn’t have our own saving files and that’s why almost all images no longer exist.
There were many proposals with very different ideas. Many proposals were books, but there were other random ideas like: scarf, trident, dolls, watches, vases, even weapons. The images are gone, but the descriptions are still in the contest thread on the forum.
The current tibiopedia team did a pre-selection of the proposals and left out the best 15: Fansite Item Final.
Among the first 15 we scored each work. We invite from Community Managers: Rejana, Mirade, Chayenne, Ogrey, and Jan, to give their feedback. The senators also gave their opinion: Etien on Secura, Evancio, Warlock of Chaos. Few members of the Tibiopedia.pl team were on the jury: MastroDaro, Kuba, Gusia, Niusia, Romano. We also invited independent graphics artist that were not linked to Tibiopedia.pl. All gave points 12-10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 for the best works.
And with this we conclude this interview. Without a doubt, the trajectory of the admin and staff of Tibiopedia is to be admired,for all the time they have been in the fansites program and, above all, their work creating content for the community. Thanks to Mastro Daro for supporting us in this interview. Remember to visit Tibiopedia.pl!
