The MMORPG Tibia originated in the 90s in Regensburg and is still played in 2023 – but hardly in Germany, rather in Poland and South America. The most successful player is a Pole who plays with her boyfriend: They have been ranked 1 and 2 in the MMORPG for years. Now the woman received an ‘immoral offer’.
Who are the strongest players in Tibia? There are two Polish players who have played together for years and who, according to reports, are a couple “virtually and in real life”:
- Bobeek plays an Elder Druid – he is also active on Twitch.
- Goraca, his girlfriend, is adventuring as a ‘Master Sorcerer’ in Tibia. The character was created on September 9, 2007, so it is 16 years old.
For years, Bobeek was number 1, but in November 2020, Bobeek tragically died, losing experience points and allowing his partner, Goraca, to surpass him (via tibiaservers). She has maintained the lead to this day.
Currently, Goraca is level 2317, Bobeek is at level 2310 – the third place is about 80 levels behind.
“Number 1” player receives immoral offer
What is the immoral offer now? As a Brazilian Twitch streamer reports, a friend of his plans to buy Goraca’s character:
- The friend himself plays a Sorcerer and is ranked 46th worldwide
- He wants to acquire the “Number 1” character now
According to the streamer, this is also realistic, as his friend is “very wealthy.” And apparently Goraca is interested in selling, but has a clear price expectation.
How is the negotiation going? It is said that Goraca has demanded €100,000 for her character. According to the streamer, this is also a fair price.
The potential buyer and the seller are now in negotiations.
The streamer says he was recently offered about €37,000 for his top 10 character worldwide. He rejected it, feeling it was too low.
MMORPG fans discuss: Should she sell?
This is the discussion: On reddit there is a lively discussion about whether Goraca should sell the character. Most seem to think: Yes, she should sell:
One user says: It would be clever if Goraca and Bobeek both sold their characters now and cash out while they are still ahead. Because they have players on their heels who “level up more efficiently than they do”: So there is a risk of losing 1st and 2nd place in the foreseeable future. In any case, something could happen that would prevent them from playing as much, and then the top spots would be gone:
It is great to quit as “the top duo of Tibia”, rather than as “former Tibia top players who were overtaken by Player X”. You must know when to exit undefeated. Being number one gives you the opportunity to demand outrageous prices.

It is said that as long as they are still ranked 1 and 2 as the “Top Duo”, their characters are valuable – they should now sell and treat themselves to a long vacation. The two could keep their guild and then start again with other characters.
Others add: €100,000 is an extremely large amount of money in Poland, enough to live on for years.
A third adds: This is also an ideal time to start a new life and change daily routines.
Can characters be traded so easily? Yes, in Tibia this is indeed possible through the “Char Bazar.” However, CipSoft in Regensburg receives a share of the purchase price.
In other games, there is “illegal character trading,” but the risk of being banned is high. Therefore, in many other MMORPGs, character purchases are not openly discussed, as it invites game developers to ban the account.
We recently reported that Goraca’s boyfriend, Bobeek, is also said to have received an offer to sell his character. However, it seems this was too uncertain for him. The offer for Goraca’s character now seems to be very tangible:
MMORPG player says he was offered €250,000 for a hero he has been playing for 16 years
