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.
