There is a very special player in the MMORPG Tibia, which has been developed in Regensburg for more than 25 years. He died a total of 15,000 times in 2023, i.e. around 42 times per day. The player is a walking legend in the community and very few people even know whether there is a person behind it.
What’s with the deaths? Special statistics about Tibia were published on the site Nabbot.xyz. For example, the diagrams show what proportion certain classes make up in the player base.
One chart in particular stands out because one player goes off the charts. When it comes to the characters with the most deaths, there is one top position that all other rankings are far behind:
The player named Baby Boy has more deaths on his account than all other players in the listed statistics combined. He is located on the server called Antica and is a big mystery even among his server colleagues (via reddit.com).

Tibia players aren’t sure if it’s a macro
Why is the player doing this? Unfortunately, it is not known what the player is thinking. On tibiaring.com you can see that the player will continue as before in 2024.
Many players don’t even know whether Baby Boy is a player or a macro. YouTuber Tibia Papo says that Baby Boy would write something strange, just like a little baby. But that would suggest that there was actually a human being behind it.
In the comments, a user writes that he was once able to get Baby Boy to sing a David Bowie song with him. This would also suggest that Baby Boy is a real person.
One player even wants to know who is behind Baby Boy. He writes in the reddit forum that he doesn’t want to betray the user. Unless there is money involved. Another user writes that he should hold off on revealing it, otherwise Tibia’s biggest mystery would be in danger.
Baby Boy is probably a role player. The user is married to a character named Baby Sitter, who is currently at level 75. Baby Boy is only at level 20 because he loses experience points every time he dies.
There’s even a player in Tibia who killed himself specifically to lose levels. This allowed him to complete a quest over and over again to achieve a specific achievement: MMORPG player kills own hero 300 times, falls from level 200 to 6 – achieves success that no one has achieved for 10 years
