OTServlist Alternatives: 5 Open Tibia Server Lists Compared
Open Tibia server lists compared: OTServlist, OTServers.online, OTS-List, OTArchive and TibiaServers. What each shows and why player counts differ.
Quick answer: the best known Open Tibia server list is OTServlist (otservlist.org). The main alternatives are OTServers.online, OTS-List (ots-list.org) and OTArchive (otarchive.com). TibiaServers reads all four every 30 minutes and merges them into one ranking, so you can compare servers without opening four sites.
The lists at a glance
OTServlist (otservlist.org): the oldest OTS list. It shows players online, uptime, client version and rates for each server.OTServers.online: a list with a live status feed that reports player counts per server.OTS-List (ots-list.org): a second community list. Useful as a cross-check, because the same server often reports a different number there.OTArchive (otarchive.com): server details and upcoming launches, handy when you want to join a server on its first day.TibiaServers (this site): one ranking built from the four lists above, refreshed every 30 minutes, with pages per version, country, PvP type and network.Why the same server shows different player counts
Player counts are not measured the same way everywhere. Three things cause most of the gaps:
Timing: every list checks servers on its own schedule. A server that had 900 players at the evening peak can show 400 a few hours later.What counts as a player: some servers report every connected character, including players with several characters online at once.Self-reported numbers: the count comes from the server itself, so a server can report more players than it has.That is why TibiaServers compares the numbers of a server across lists. When one source is far above the others, the server gets a lower reliability score. Read how the ranking works for the details.
Which list should you use?
You want the busiest server right now: use a ranking by players online, such as the TibiaServers home page.You want every world of one big server added up: use the network ranking. Large servers run several worlds, and a list of single worlds hides how big they are.You want a new server from day one: check a list with upcoming launches.You care about one version: go straight to a version page such as Tibia 7.4 servers or Tibia 8.6 servers.Stay safe on any list
No list can vouch for a server. Download the client only from the server's own website, never reuse the password of your official Tibia account, and prefer servers with a long uptime and a steady player count. Our guide on how to choose an OTS server goes through the checks one by one.
