TibiaGoals #7: Dark Bombox: Isle of Destiny - I am coming!

When I started playing tibia I didn't understand much of what was going on and I thought that Rookgaard was mainland and I had no goal, I just played to be with friends, who taught me how to do it. A few years later when I started from 0 in another world, I went to a non-pvp with an EK called Dark Ices, it was my first char with which I really gained experience in Tibia and it became my main char, I wanted to level it above 100, I think I reached like level 130 or so when I stopped playing because I got bored. A couple of years later, some friends told me to go to an experimental server (Aurora, now known as Zuna) and I went and leveled a ms to level 230ish, if I'm not mistaken, these were the times when Roshamuul was first introduced. Eventually, I ended up retired because, again, I got bored of playing this character, there were two MS in the team now, and my team usually went hunting with the other, so I was bored, and I ended up quitting this character. After months, I found out that one of my friends was still playing and was level 300+, and that motivated me a lot to start over yet again, but this time on Estela, which was old Obsidia, where I used to play with some of my RLs. This time though, I gave myself some goals to reach, I wanna reach the island of 999+ level, I wanted to create Instagram for my character and reach 1k followers (by that time I thought that I would reach level 1000 faster than reaching 1000 followers xD), and my final goal was to be in all possible highscores, such as top exp, skill, and others. When I started, everyone told me that I was kidding about reaching 999 level and nobody believed me nor in me.  Now, 2,5 years later I am level 547, and I still want to reach level 999, the only difference is that now I play alone, so each level takes an eternity, sometimes 1% feels as if I was getting 53%.





On Instagram, I have now passed 1,1k followers and I am in all the possible tops on highscores, expect in shielding, because I always go for a two-handed mace. I realized that the key for me not to get bored by playing a character is to set short and long term goals. This way you will always have a goal in mind and thus see that you progress even little by little. Although Twitch is something external to Tibia, it also has an influence on my lack of will to retire anymore. Even though I am not the most popular streamer around, nor the one with the most subs or the best stream quality, I still enjoy streaming a lot. I appreciate each person that watches me and also the help that my streamer friends provide me with. It is something that pushes me to continue day after day. I play "alone", but with the Twitch community company. My goal on Twitch, which is living out of Tibia and streaming it is, of course, very unlikely, but it is one of the most beautiful goals I have as for today <3
