Rookgaard: Independence is an expanded, reimagined version of the classic Rookgaard. A self-sustaining, politically and economically independent island, completely separated from the mainland Tibia. It transforms the humble tutorial island into a self-contained MMORPG world.

After gaining independence from Thais, Rookgaard evolves from a beginner's zone into a living, growing ecosystem; a society rebuilding itself through player-driven progress, exploration, and economy. With no access to the mainland, all development, trade, and discovery happen locally. Hunting, farming, fishing, crafting, and exploration now define survival and social status, while citizens shape politics, economy, and territory through both cooperation and conflict. Independence brings growth, but also greed, corruption, and moral decay.

Familiar NPCs gain new depth, weaving interconnected storylines that drive the island's transformation from a Thais colony into a truly independent world. Newly uncovered mines, crypts, swamps, and PvP areas invite players to delve deeper into Rookgaard's evolving mysteries!
