Hello, 

I feel like making zulrah death unsafe is controversial that is why I suggest adding a toggle (for uim) to whoever wishes to toggle this option on or off.

Now, I believe that this kind of update is dangerous for the game: Alora is a private server with its own identity, this is what separates it from its competitors. Wanting to do exactly like osrs is a big mistake in my opinion.

Take for example the private server starting with a "z" (cannot mention names apparently); it is largely more developed than Alora but in my opinion Alora stays better because it has its own identity while "z" tries to simply copy osrs as much as possible.

------> If I wanted to play osrs, I would be playing osrs

Thanks.

Zulrah death always was unsafe (if u think about Hcim accounts), besides that i think that paying 100k to retrieve your items after dying is a small cost to pay and i have nothing against it.

 

Imo it should stay as it is now.

No support from me. It adds the extra cautiousness especially for HCIM and for everyone else it makes next to no difference if you die there. (Unsure what happens for UIM). Yes you could just play OSRS but with no xp multiplier.

No Support from me, having the deaths added was a nice update as it put the risk back in boss fighting for zulrah.

I say keep it as it is now :)

I'd have to say keep it as it is, but I do agree with the whole "if I wanted to play OSRS I'd play OSRS" Alora is it's own server is so many ways, and I love it.

I actually think losing items on death is a good thing it somewhat stops people from running around in full max, the fear of death and losing your items should exist no matter what account you are.

That being said Zulrah of all bosses is actually one of the safest as you can just reclaim your items for 100k, the fear of being killed there doesn't really exist imo.

Zulrah death retrieval is fine the way it is, and honestly should be added to a couple other instanced bosses like Vorkath.

No Support and as @F mentioned... there need to be more death boxes. (ToB, Vorkath, Hydra for example). However would be nice if you can "pre-pay".

This needs to stay as it is, because up until this death box, UIMs had no place to suicide to keep their items instead of just regular suiciding. Yes, if you want to go play OSRS you will, but you don't because although Alora stays close to OSRS it has its own identity. Even if you think the zulrah death box is stupid, its critical we have it because it brings much needed mechanics to the game.

The whole death box feature for Zulrah is fine as is. 100k is not much on this server to be quite honest in terms of reclaiming your items after death. No support.
