Aureus' Tibia Website is one of the most important websites we have of early Tibian history. It has somehow survived more then 20 years without the aid of the Wayback Machine. This time capsule of information, founded on September 20th, 1998, was filled with a plethora of information. You could find detailed history on monsters, a thorough overview of the town map, a comprehensive list of the Tibia flat program, tip and tricks for new players, an encyclopedia with many interesting details, a small screenshot area, and some important events of Tibias history. The link section would have been very helpful for players as it ranked resources by how helpful they would be and there was a deep depth to them. Unfortunately, most links to other sites are dead, including some which sounded particularly interesting.
The site founder Aureus was a famous player who also founded the Golden Chariot Tavern, a roleplay bar that took over the barracks building in the south of Tibia City. This bar offered drinks and a fun atmosphere in competition to Frodo's. Unfortunately, the tavern was not open very often, but they would happily organize your festive events. As Tibia shifted towards a more competitive environment, places like the tavern received less traffic and more troublemakers.
Aureus admittedly struggled to find time to keep updating and even after he launched Tibia's first newspaper, he simply couldn't maintain the level of commitment needed for the project. The site stopped updated on January 16th, 1999.
