Breaking the Tibia Rules may lead to a banishment. Most players would do almost everything in order to avoid getting banished, and hackers know it. There are several tricks they use in order to hack players only using that knowledge. Most of these tricks require the hacker to impersonate an employee of CipSoft - a gamemaster, community manager, an imagined "ban list administrator" or anyone else they can think of. Many players will be so scared when hearing about a banishment, that they will not even think it is a hacker who talks to them. What you need to know is that CipSoft will not contact you concerning a banishment. They do not send in-game letters, they do not discuss banishments in private messages. If you are ever contacted this way, be sure it is a hack attempt.

You have probably heard about the bot detection system. It automatically detects players who gain unfair advantage over other Tibians by using unofficial software to play. Some hackers send multiple in-game letters or contact players directly through the private message system, telling players they have been detected botting and they will be banished unless they visit a certain website in order to remove themselves from a list of botters. Again, if you are ever contacted this way, be sure that it is a hacker who talks to you - there are no lists of botters, and in no case would CipSoft contact players about the bot detection system. Never, ever. If the detection system catches someone, a banishment or account deletion will follow and there is no way to avoid it. Don't use bots, be sure that you are a fair player, and you will be safe from both the banishments and hackers.

New continents, creatures, hunting places... These are just some of the features available to players who have some active premium time on their accounts. How tempting it is to follow someone's advice, visit a website which looks just like the official Tibia website and grab some premium time for free? As great as this could sound, you may be sure you would have found your account hacked the very next day after accepting such a generous offer.

Here again, hackers send in-game letters, in which you are told you have won a lottery by CipSoft or a fansite, or that CipSoft is giving some premium time for free and you can claim your prize by logging in to a certain website - and no surprise here, the website which you are asked to visit is created with one intention only - stealing your account data. The same goes for advertisements which you may find in one of the public channels. Do never believe such offers.

If CipSoft ever decides to give you some premium time for free or as a reward for participating in a contest, poll or feedback form, you will not need to log in anywhere - they can add premium time directly to your account. Whenever this happens, players are informed about it on the official website.
