Just started playing, and trying just wondering what makes this different then the main game?

It seems like all the content is the same level of difficultly is this just OSRS with faster leveling?

[Radagon]

Most content has a few mechanics altered that do make it easier than the main game along with an increased drop rate across the board (and even higher for different tiers of donators), an accuracy boost, and several custom mechanics or pieces of content exclusive to alora (such as the tp wizard, tormented demons pet)

To add to what Radagon said,

 

Generally easier to start making GP when starting, such as voting and selling the vote books or by thieving stalls.

 

Also the drop rate boost mentioned above is 24%. The global accuracy boost against all NPCs is 25% (making PvM grinds a lot quicker in both aspects).

@Gl Thanks for the numbers, I'm intrigued to start grinding but I was wondering what the difference is.

If its the exact same time sink as main game and difficulty was just as hard i wondered what the point was. But 25% easier is a lot

Well, in terms of time sinks, we also have very few quests (compared to OSRS having 170 I think?). And even then, our quests are simply killing the quest boss for completion. So you would save hundreds of hours of game play alone from not having to do so many mandatory quests.

Welcome to Alora!

These are some of the differences

XP Rates:
• OSRS: Slow, long-term grind
• Alora: Faster XP (varies by mode - Regular, Realism, Elite Ironman, etc.)

Game Modes:
• Alora offers more variety (Hardcore Ironman, Realism, Classic, etc.)
• Some modes exclusive restrictions ( seperate economy for example )

Teleport System:
• OSRS: Requires spells, quests, or walking
• Alora: Instant teleports via tele wizard at edge or commands like ::home, ::train

Slayer & PvM:
• Alora: faster tasks, drop announcements
• Some bosses tweaked for balance or challenge

Quality of Life
Access to custom training areas, vote shop perks, and donator zones

Gambling & Economy
• OSRS: No gambling allowed
• Alora: Flower poker, dice duels etc.
• Player owned shops (POS) instead of Grand Exchange
• Economy is faster-paced, more inflated due to higher item supply

Custom Content & Events
• Frequent server-wide events (bonus XP, PvP tournaments etc..)
• Developers actively update based on player suggestions

Some mechanics are adjusted (drop rates, boss difficulty)
• Donator perks exist (cosmetics, teleport access, some boosts)
• More casual or PvM-focused community, less pure grinding

If we’re comparing time sinks

OSRS is a flip phone with a broken screen, you’re gonna text that 99, but it’s gonna take 8 years and a lot of suffering.

Alora is smartphone with speech to text.
