| - __TOC__ The Flash Client is one of three official Tibia Clients, the other being the Tibia 10 and Tibia 11 clients. The Flash Client is always activated if the system requirements are met and can be reached through the Account Management page on www.tibia.com . You only need to select a character from the below list by clicking on it's row, then click on the "Play" button to open up another browser window. They have written it in Flash as compared to C++, in which the stand-alone clients are written. The Tibia 10 was still available to be used when it was released. Some information has been released and some community feedback has been given on certain aspects. Even being an official and supported client, many players of Tibian community were still skeptical about it, but the programmers promised that no changes would be made in the game play, and Tibia would remain Tibia! One of the most significant benefits is that the client can be customised in so many ways (window positioning, text colours, disable some messages from appearing in game window and/or console like spells or private messages, etc.); you can set just about everything in your own style. The other main benefit is the addition of Action Bars with 120 slots that can be used with hotkeys, besides other preset hotkeys. It also gives the player the ability to set or change hotkeys to other actions like logging out, toggling between offensive/balanced/defensive fighting, toggling chat mode on/off or opening you root container (the main container, usually a backpack, placed in your inventory). Walking can also be set to a different key set (for example WASD, or DZXC or any other combination) with the option "chat off". In general the Flash Client has a better GUI (Graphical User Interface) but worse performance than the original stand-alone client. Because of this and the deprecation of Flash by Adobe it was decided that a new stand-alone client was necessary. The Tibia 11 client was released in April 19, 2016, as the successor of the Flash Client. In order to replace the Flash Client, Tibia 11 has also been released for macOS and has been receiving many of the features that were first seen on the Flash Client. rect 96 20 109 37 VIP List rect 108 5 122 21 Battle List rect 132 20 146 37 Safe Trade rect 144 5 158 21 Containers rect 6 0 182 50 Filters rect 0 50 190 236 Inventory rect 0 237 190 314 Combat Controls rect 0 315 190 534 Battle List rect 0 535 190 650 Containers rect 0 651 190 782 Safe Trade rect 0 0 197 906 Sidebars rect 1235 20 1248 37 General Controls rect 1247 5 1260 21 Combat Controls rect 1271 20 1284 37 Minimap rect 1283 5 1300 21 Inventory rect 1217 0 1399 52 Filters rect 1211 55 1399 192 Minimap rect 1211 193 1399 344 General Controls rect 1211 345 1399 530 Containers rect 1211 531 1399 690 VIP List rect 1201 0 1399 906 Sidebars desc bottom-right The screen of the Tibia Flash client is divided into several parts:
