When I started playing Tibia one of the things that fascinated me was how rich this world was in terms of content. There were npc houses with furniture and hidden objects and every creature spawn looked different, some even with their individual visual styles. I spent more time exploring the world than xping at first, and when I got my first house I wanted it to fit in and be a natural part of Tibia. I started inventing stories about my character and making up characteristics and personality traits for her that I wanted her house to reflect.
This was hard at first, because Tibia items are very difficult to bend to one’s will, but slowly I got better at seeing what items would fit together. I remember the exhibition room on the first floor of the explorer society in Port Hope was a huge inspiration with the dressers placed in a repetitive pattern with exotic items on top. For a while that was my ideal decoration, and I had those dressers in my Port Hope living room for several years, changing the items on top as I discovered new items through quests.
