Hello all,
We are glad to announce something that we've rarely done on Alora, and that is release a brand new rank, Respected.
The Respected role is a prestigious rank given to carefully selected members of our community that have contributed significantly to shape Alora into what it is today.
These players have went out of their way to make Alora a better place, whether that be through content creation, accomplishing impressive feats, moderation or community interaction, and we would like to reward these players with a highly exclusive rank as a way of saying thank you.
The rank has no distinct requirements, but a multitude of criteria will be considered by the administrative team before a player is selected.
Over the coming weeks, you will hear from us as we will announce several players that are worthy of this rank, past and present.

First wave of Respected members
Alora's first Community Manager, responsible for laying the foundation for Alora's success. Many of Blanks ideas have survived to this day that the staff team use.
Alora's second, and longest serving Community Manager. Part of Alora since before its inception. Took over the role of Community Manager and excelled at it for several years, all while entertaining the community with his iconic livestreams.
@Moe
Do we even need to explain this inclusion? Without a doubt Alora's most respected member, bringing unmatched energy every time he logs in.
Alora's first Event Manager, the brains behind many of the events that we still host to this day.
@Elsa
One of Alora's very first players, with a registration date four(!) months before release, and still sticking around a decade later. It would be a struggle to find a player that has a negative word to say.
One of Alora's most dedicated players ever and within touching distance of achieving Alora's most incredible accomplishment; max experience on realism mode. And this is not even mentioning how helpful he is to new realism players.
@mochiii, @EIMCastiOnix & @Miq
Not many players can say they have completed most content and gathered the very best items along the way, but these three can. Occupying the top 3 on the hiscores for collection log slots completed respectively, they have shown immense dedication to the game over the years.
For those that have been around for a while, you'll know what impact Hellish has had on the server. The list goes on and on, from bringing the community together as an event manager, to keeping the server in order as an administrator, to several impactful stints as a staff member, and last but not least being one of the owners of the longest-standing clan in the game, there's not much that has to be said.
Second wave of Respected members
@Sassafras - If you think of the Ultimate Ironman game mode, one player springs to mind. Sassafras has been playing the game mode for the majority of its lifespan, being one of a select few to achieve max experience on UIM. Other notable contributions include helping out with staff duties as a Global moderator, and giving a helping hand with clans.
@Sagacious - One of the most dedicated players of recent times. One look at his account tells you everything you need to know. Max experience, rank 3 in collection log slots, over 5000 completed raids, tens of thousands of boss kills, the list goes on. You may also have come across a post or two of his, being one of our most active users on forums.
@Dante - also known as Xuf, for those that don't know him - was an administrator that contributed greatly to the staff team. Those that interacted with him in the past will have nothing but fond memories of his humour and larger than life personality.
@Adex - Adex is a longtime Alora player that most new players have never heard of, but the older community know him very well. He contributed with various staff duties as an Administrator, and to top it all of, he was the first player to achieve max experience on two separate accounts, which just shows the immense dedication Adex had on Alora.
@Dumbshit - If you've browsed our forums over the years, there's a chance you came across Dumbshit's incredible work. He has contributed greatly in making the forums visually pleasing for the community. Some of his work includes the redesign of our userbars, community award images, and update post graphics.
@God - Also known as Josh, was a long time staff member, whose work back in the days was crucial in maintaining a positive environment and active community in Alora. During his time, the content and action in the wilderness was at its peak, and many players may remember him from the Juggernaut event.
@Noobair - One of the most dedicated players on Alora, he is most known for being the first player to achieve max experience on an elite ironman account. Many players since then have been inspired by Noobair.
@real beer - One of the longest standing Realism players, Real Beer is known for being a leading role model in the realism community, going out of his way to help any player get involved in the game mode.
Kind regards,
Alora Staff Team
