6 Open Tibia Servers With the Most Players This Week
The six most-played Open Tibia servers this week, ranked by player counts otservers.org measures itself, with client versions and how to connect.
Typing "Open Tibia servers" into Google mostly turns up two kinds of pages: a raw table of hundreds of rows with numbers nobody checks, or a page that blocks you behind a challenge screen before you see a single server. otservers.org is a directory of Open Tibia servers that polls each listed server directly, every few minutes, rather than trusting whatever an owner reports. This post uses that measured data to cover the six servers it recorded with the most players this week: what each one runs, its rates and PvP rules, and how to connect.
The six busiest Open Tibia servers measured by otservers.org for the seven days ending 5 September 2026 are OxygenOT, Gunzodus, Demolidores, Aurera-global, KoliseuOT and Canob, ranked by seven-day average player count. Together they span four Tibia client protocols and experience rates from x4 to x300.
| Rank | Server | Client version | PvP type | Country | 7-day avg players* | Known for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | OxygenOT | 8.60 | PvP enforced | United States | 572 | x50 rates, enforced PvP, high-level boss fights |
| 2 | Gunzodus | 10.00 / 15.30 | Unknown | Unknown | 548 | Built on a Forgotten Server fork |
| 3 | Demolidores | 8.60 | Unknown | Unknown | 490 | Runs its own Demolidores 2.0 engine |
| 4 | Aurera-global | 11.00 | Unknown | Unknown | 450 | Runs a custom Au2R Engine 1.1 |
| 5 | KoliseuOT | 15.24 | PvP | Brazil | 446 | Seasonal worlds that reset into one eternal world |
| 6 | Canob | 8.60 | PvP | United States | 434 | x4 rates, mixed PvE and PvP quest paths |

How otservers.org measures these Open Tibia servers
otservers.org's numbers come from checking each server itself, not from a form an owner filled in. Every listed server gets polled directly every few minutes. Its 30-day uptime is the share of those checks it answered, and its player count is whoever was online at the moment of that check. An owner proves they control a listing by placing a chosen phrase inside the server's own message of the day.
The seven-day averages used to rank this list come from otservers.org's own tracking, current as of 5 September 2026. The site publishes its network numbers at otservers.org's statistics page. That tracking also records a "previous seven-day average" for comparison, and for every server measured, including all six here, that figure currently reads zero, because otservers.org's tracking of this set of servers is new enough that there isn't a prior week to compare against yet. The ranking below reflects a first full measurement window, not a trend.
Player count and uptime aren't the only inputs to otservers.org's own site-wide server ranking. That ranking also weighs votes, with each vote losing half its weight every week, a paid highlight, and penalties for going offline or turning stale. This list uses a narrower cut: sorted only by measured seven-day average players.
The Forgotten Server and Canary: the two engines behind these servers
Most custom Open Tibia servers run on one of two open-source engines, or a private fork of one. The Forgotten Server is a free, open-source MMORPG server emulator written in C++, licensed under the GPL and maintained by the otland organization on GitHub, where it has drawn 1.8k stars, 180 watchers and more than 4,092 commits to its master branch. It forked from the OpenTibia Server project, and players connect to it using OTClient.
Canary, maintained by OpenTibiaBR, is a newer engine written in C++20 and Lua, forked from the OTServBR-Global project. Its documentation covers runtime contracts for the current client as well as protocol versions 11.00 and 8.60, which puts it toward the newer end of the protocol range covered in this list.
Of the six servers here, only Gunzodus names an open-source lineage directly. otservers.org lists its engine as "Gunzodus TFS 1.6," a fork built on The Forgotten Server. The other five (OxygenOT, Demolidores, Aurera-global, KoliseuOT and Canob) each run their own named build, called Oxygen IX, Demolidores 2.0, Au2R Engine 1.1, Koliseu Servers 1.0 and Canob 8.6, and otservers.org's data doesn't show which open-source base, if any, sits under them.
1. OxygenOT
OxygenOT is the most-played Open Tibia server otservers.org measured this week, averaging 572 players over the seven days ending 5 September 2026, with a peak of 621 in that window. OxygenOT runs Tibia protocol 8.60 at x50 experience with PvP enforced, on an engine the server calls Oxygen IX, and is hosted in the United States. otservers.org recorded 99.78% uptime for OxygenOT over the last 30 days, and the server's own page describes high-level boss fights and customized mechanics as its main draw.
To connect, point a Tibia 8.60 client at login.oxygenot.live:7171 using an IP changer or a launcher that accepts a custom host, then create a character on OxygenOT's own website. Its otservers.org page shows live status and a player history chart.
2. Gunzodus
Gunzodus is the second most-played server on this list, with a 548-player seven-day average measured by otservers.org and a peak of 701 in that window. It's also the only server here that discloses a base engine: a build on The Forgotten Server, according to otservers.org. Gunzodus speaks Tibia protocol 10.00 or 15.30, and otservers.org recorded 99.66% uptime for it over the last 30 days.
Gunzodus's own message of the day, last updated 3 September 2026, tells players connecting with Client 15 to grab a fixed client build from the server's own website first. otservers.org doesn't have rates or a PvP type on record for Gunzodus, so check its otservers.org page directly before connecting.
3. Demolidores
Demolidores measured a 490-player seven-day average, the third-highest of the six servers on this list, with a peak of 535, according to otservers.org. Demolidores runs Tibia protocol 8.60 on an engine the server names Demolidores 2.0, and otservers.org recorded 97.91% uptime for it over the last 30 days, the lowest of the six. Rates and PvP type are listed as unknown on its otservers.org listing.
Connect with a Tibia 8.60 client pointed at sv.demolidores.com.br:7171, then register on Demolidores's own website. Its otservers.org page has current status and history charts.
4. Aurera-global
Aurera-global averaged 450 players over the seven days ending 5 September 2026, with a peak of 531, according to otservers.org. Aurera-global runs the newer Tibia protocol 11.00 on a custom engine named Au2R Engine 1.1, and otservers.org recorded 99.69% uptime for it over the last 30 days. Rates, PvP type and country are listed as unknown on its otservers.org listing.
Connect with a Tibia 11.00 client pointed at on.aurera-global.com:7171, then create a character on the server's own website.
5. KoliseuOT
KoliseuOT measured a 446-player seven-day average, with a peak of 581, and the highest 30-day uptime of any server on this list: a full 100%, according to otservers.org. KoliseuOT runs on hosting in Brazil at Tibia protocol 15.24, with x300 experience and PvP rules, on an engine it calls Koliseu Servers 1.0. Its own description centers on seasonal worlds that reset and then merge into one permanent world, and otservers.org's data shows a second active KoliseuOT world running alongside the main one, consistent with that seasonal, multi-world design.
Connect with a Tibia 15.24 client pointed at season.koliseuot.com.br:7173 (note the non-standard port), then register on KoliseuOT's own website. Its otservers.org page tracks both status and player history.
6. Canob
Canob rounds out the list with a 434-player seven-day average and a peak of 487, measured by otservers.org. Canob runs Tibia protocol 8.60 at x4 experience with PvP rules, on an engine it names Canob 8.6, and is hosted in the United States. otservers.org recorded 99.89% uptime for Canob over the last 30 days. Its own description covers a mix of PvE and PvP quest paths, new monsters and events.
Connect with a Tibia 8.60 client pointed at tibia.canob.us:7171, then create a character on Canob's own website. Its otservers.org page shows current player counts and history.
How to choose between them
Start with the client, since it decides what you can connect with. OxygenOT, Demolidores and Canob all run Tibia protocol 8.60, so a single classic client covers all three, while Gunzodus needs protocol 10.00 or 15.30, Aurera-global needs 11.00, and KoliseuOT needs 15.24, each requiring its own matching client. From there, match PvP appetite: OxygenOT enforces PvP, KoliseuOT and Canob run PvP rules, and Gunzodus, Demolidores and Aurera-global each show an unknown PvP type on their otservers.org listings. Rates set the pace: Canob's x4 stays close to the original game's speed, OxygenOT's x50 levels much faster, and KoliseuOT's x300 is built for players who don't want a long climb. For reliability, otservers.org's 30-day measurements favor KoliseuOT at a full 100% uptime and Canob at 99.89%, ahead of Demolidores at 97.91%.

What's new (as of 5 September 2026)
otservers.org's network grew fast in the days leading into this list. Its own tracking shows a network-wide average of 4,489 players across 11 servers on 3 September 2026, rising to 5,999 players across 18 servers on 4 September 2026, and 6,150 players across 23 servers on 5 September 2026. On 5 September 2026, otservers.org counted 27 active servers in total, 22 of them online at that moment, with 6,956 players online across the network.
Several servers are brand new to otservers.org's tracking. VestiaOT, Otmadness and Limbo were all first checked on 5 September 2026 and haven't logged a full week of data yet.
Outside otservers.org's own measurements, Qumora, a custom Tibia 7.6 server, is launching a new edition on 5 September 2026 at 20:00 CET, according to its OTLand thread.
Key takeaways
- OxygenOT led otservers.org's measurements for the week ending 5 September 2026, with a 572-player seven-day average, ahead of Gunzodus at 548 and Demolidores at 490.
- The six servers need four different Tibia clients between them: protocol 8.60, 10.00 or 15.30, 11.00, and 15.24.
- KoliseuOT measured a full 100% uptime over the last 30 days, the highest of any server on this list, according to otservers.org.
- Only Gunzodus discloses an open-source lineage, listing its engine as a Gunzodus TFS 1.6 build derived from The Forgotten Server.
- Joining any of these six servers is free; otservers.org's own site-wide ranking also factors in votes and paid highlights, which this players-only ranking does not.
FAQ
Are Open Tibia servers free to play?
Yes. Joining any of the six servers above costs nothing. They are community-run projects, and many sell cosmetic or convenience items on their own websites to cover hosting, separate from otservers.org.
How do I know if an Open Tibia server is online right now?
Check its otservers.org page. The site polls each server directly every few minutes and shows whether the latest check succeeded, along with a 30-day uptime percentage. Canob, for example, measured 99.89% uptime over the last 30 days.
What client version do I need to connect to these servers?
It depends on the server, since each one speaks a specific Tibia protocol: 8.60 for OxygenOT, Demolidores and Canob, 11.00 for Aurera-global, 15.24 for KoliseuOT, and 10.00 or 15.30 for Gunzodus. Point a matching client at the server's own host and port with an IP changer or a launcher that accepts a custom address, then register on that server's own website.
Is it safe to make an account on an Open Tibia server?
It's as safe as any hobby-run project, which means the operator, not a corporation, is responsible for security. Use a password you don't reuse anywhere else, since a reused password is the most common way these accounts get taken over.
Why do experience rates vary so much between servers?
Because each server owner sets their own multiplier, and there's no standard rate. Canob runs x4, close to the original game's pace; OxygenOT runs x50; and KoliseuOT runs x300, built for players who want fast progress instead of a long grind.
Every server on this list can be checked for live status on its own otservers.org page, and any owner can list a new one for free by placing a verification phrase in its message of the day.
