It is no secret that as of the past few months I have produced a higher amount of frustration with some areas that need attention in Alora. My reasoning at first was filled with good intentions on making the game better. Then I wanted to help keep it strong by offering good support to those like me that enjoy playing Alora. I have never played on a server with so many dedicated and loyal players the way I have here. Yet after months of suggestions and bug reports, there are things that just had a sense of 'fuck it who cares' feel from the development. I slowly now realize this is not the case and I have been impatient. I know Omicron has a lot on his shoulders to keep us satisfied but the way priorities were being handled simply got the best of me. I pounded both hands on my desk, broke it, shit fell over and I walked away. It wasn't just grammatical errors or something wasn't coded that increased my frustrations. It was a mix of bugs, outdated client, forums-related bullshit, staying ahead of the competition. This is where my apology comes in. This is not just an apology to my friends I have basically neglected without realizing it but mainly to Dan for putting in some content and going onto Jay's live stream that makes me feel like he is listening to us. The last few updates didn't get me to do more than just log in until this last one. I can see the effort and change, be it slowly or not, is there. I've been unfair and I want to say that I am sorry.

 

I wanted to gamble my shit and if I lost, that would have been my farewell thread. Then something awesome happened. As I got a price check for my inventory, I had a bit of an epiphany. I have spent so much time in this community. I have helped others in the community. Others have helped me. I don't want to leave Alora. When I attempt to play other games, I come back to Alora. Goddamn you Alora. Change is happening and I can honestly say I feel good about it.

 

Much love.

True game never quits Alora.

 

Endeavor I am here waiting for your return to the staff team...

If you change your mind about that gamble, shoot me a pm

True story. You can't quit Alora...

You can see things starting to turn around. More focus on bugs/QOL updates, more attention from admins on suggestions threads, more content polls to gauge what the playerbase wants. I'd like to think your feedback thread and the comments that it garnered contributed at least a little bit to these shifts in priority.

 

Welcome back! Again!

One does simply not quit Alora.

OT: Slowly but surely, more QoL suggestions and bug reports will be handled. I’m glad to see players being involved in trying to help improve the game for everyone. :)

Glad to see you stick around. It is annoying to only have 1 dev but damn does he work hard. And I am with you, after listening to him on that stream I realized how much he does do for us.

I personally don't see any reason for you to apologise, to be honest. You spoke up and said things straight out, but remained civil at the same time - unless I missed something? It was a real need. Nonetheless, I do hope you return yet again, but this time stick around, because it's great to have you with us. I also see a positive change happening, the last update patch was great, and it's great to see. The positive change certainly motivates me more to continue playing the game.
