About Company
CipSoft GmbH, based in Regensburg, Germany, develops, runs, and publishes online games for various platforms. The company was founded by Stephan B'rzs'nyi, Guido L¨¹bke, Ulrich Schlott, and Stephan Vogler in 2001. Development of their first project, Tibia, however, started much earlier under the label CIP Productions. Starting as a student project, the four founders decided to dedicate all their time to it after graduating from university.
About Tibia
The idea of writing an online role-playing game emerged during autumn 1995. Unlike the text based multi-user-dungeons at that time, Tibia should have a graphical user-interface, thus giving players a better impression of the world they live in. Concrete plannings started in the Easter holidays 1996, and by January 7th, 1997, a permanent public server was ready to be launched. Since then, the game has continuously been developed further, and the number of players grew steadily. Now tens of thousands of players visit Tibia every day, thus making it one of Europe's largest online role-playing games.
About Tibia Micro Edition
In January 2002, CipSoft started to conquer a new field. They adapted the successful idea of online role-playing games to Java and SymbianOS enabled mobile devices. Tibia Micro Edition is the first mobile massive multiplayer online role-playing game. After the presentation at the CeBIT fair 2003 in Hannover, the game has been launched May 2003 in cooperation with T-Mobile, Germany's largest mobile carrier.
