Enjoy the read!   [member="H"]: Who do you most admire in life? [member="Charizard"]: Growing up I always admired celebrities and superheroes. As I’ve grown older I’ve come to admire the adults who’ve raised and supported me in life. My father for helping and teaching me to do good business. My mother for showing me how to be kind.   [member="H"]: What is a skill you'd like to learn and why? [member="Charizard"]: I’ve never learned how to play an instrument and piano is something that I’ve always wanted to play. It’s the most chaotic or relaxing instrument, and I will eventually learn how to play even basic songs.   [member="H"]: If you could witness any event of the past, present, or future, what would it be? [member="Charizard"]: Would have to be something to do with music. Going back and seeing Queen in concert is something I’ve always said I would do if I had the opportunity.   [member="H"]: Tell us a little about your journey to secure 1st place in the Alora Leagues tournament. [member="Charizard"]: Playing Alora leagues was the most fun I’ve had playing a game in 10 years. I’m not one to grind anything video game like anymore but seeing my points go up gave me a reason to keep going. I had intended on stopping at T7, but I was having so much fun doing everything I couldn’t stop. I took no longer than 12 hours without at least playing 1-3 hours after each break. I’ll miss playing leagues, but I am glad it’s over. I’ll need a nice break from grinding like that again.   [member="H"]: What are your plans for 2024, both in real life and on Alora? [member="Charizard"]: I’ve recently started a new GIM on alora with some irl friends, I’ll likely be playing that from here on out as it’s something new and gives a nice challenge compared to my maxed gim. In life I don’t have any major plans. Just enjoying my family and friends when I can. Always aiming to be a better person/husband/father for my wife and kid.   Next up is [member="Fire"]   [member="H"]: Who do you most admire in life? [member="Fire"]: I most admire my fiance in life, when life gets hard and is all over the place she's always my constant.   [member="H"]: What is a skill you'd like to learn and why? [member="Fire"]: I'd really like to learn drifting, It is very theraputic to watch and I feel like i'd enjoy it and be at home behind the wheel while sideways.   [member="H"]: If you could witness any event of the past, present, or future, what would it be? [member="Fire"]: I would like to witness the first interaction publicly known with aliens or life from another planet. (as long as its a peaceful meetup)   [member="H"]: What update would you like to personally see happen? [member="Fire"]: I WOULD LOVE to see some custom bosses added with new weapons and armor, nothing wild like AK-47's like other servers have, just reskins with same stats for current weapons, give us anime katanas, new glowing maces, flaming swords, etc. Not saying new power caps but like matches for a fang/rapier that can be achieved without needing a 4 man tob party. :BONUS: please add more boss pets for everyday things, give us a slayer pet (make it like 1/50k from any slayer monster and 1/200k for a transmog crystal or something), a barrows pet.   [member="H"]: What are your plans for 2024, both in real life and on Alora? [member="Fire"]: I plan on working as much overtime as I can and saving for a house, in my spare time I would like to take as many motorcycle trips as I possibly can with my fiance and finally get married this summer. On alora I WANT TO FINALLY GET MY TBOW, 1115 KC DRY BAYBEEEEEEEE.

League Extension As many of you already know, we've also decided to extend the League game mode for an extra 3 weeks to allow players to accumulate more points, that can then be spent in the League store in-game on your main account. Although the tournament has concluded and there are no more prizes to be won, you can still log into your account and continue to play for just under 3 more weeks and accumulate more points to spend on rewards (and to earn better trophies) before it becomes locked. Leagues will officially end on Friday, April 26th, at 7pm EST. All the best, Omicron & The Alora Staff Team
