Hey everyone, I would once again like to announce the Vote Competition for the month of August. Your votes will begin being counted on August 1st, 12 am GMT, so be ready, because every vote counts!

What will the rewards be?
The top 5 voters will receive the following rewards in order of highest(#1) to lowest(#5) ranked voters, and the rewards will be as follows:
1st - 1 x $100 Bond

2nd - 1 x $50 Bond

3rd - 3 x $10 Bond
4th - 2 x $10 Bond
5th - 1 x $10 Bond

FAQ
Q: What constitutes a "vote"?
A: Every time a player votes and receives an auth code, this will count as a vote!

Q: How do I vote?
A: You must simply follow this link http://www.alora.io/vote/ to the vote page, click and vote on all of the links, and then use the auth you get at the vote manager in-game to claim your vote book!

Q: When will the winners be declared?
A: The winners of the competition will be declared after the 21st of August (1-5 days after)!

We hope to spark a bit of healthy competition and get more players voting to help get Alora's name out there a bit more so that we can continue to grow in the future!

IMPORTANT: Ironmen, Realism, Hardcore Ironmen, and Ultimate Ironmen will not be able to claim the rewards DIRECTLY onto their accounts unless they are cosmetic, however they may claim the items onto an alternate account that is not an Ironman.

Additional Note: The vote competition is structured in such a way that any player with 30 or more votes will be entered into a random draw, where one will be chosen as the winner, giving multiple players a fair chance to win.

Hello everyone,

Today's update brings a wide variety of improvements to the server while we continue to work on Sailing in our effort to be the first server to release the massive new skill. We appreciate your patience as we work on bringing the new skill to Alora, we know that this update comes later than expected given our usual schedule, but we know it will be worth it once it is released -- we are beginning testing this week and are very close to the full release. If you haven't already, make sure to check out our Development blog:
https://www.alora.io...velopment-blog/

• Variable Ironman Experience Rates:
  • Players can now select one of 3 different experience rates when creating a new account that is a Regular Ironman, Ultimate Ironman, Hardcore Ironman, or Hardcore Ultimate Ironman.
    • The exp rate options provided are 40x (15x after 99), which was the original rate for ultimate ironman and regular Ironman, 8x, which was the original rate for hardcore ironman/hardcore ultimate ironman, and 4x, a completely new rate for solo ironman accounts.
  • Players can freely increase the experience rates of any of the game modes by speaking to the Combat Master in the ironman shack.
    • For example, if you start your account on 4x, and wish for easier rates, you can go up to 8x/40x.
      • Players who choose to do this will not ever be able to go back down to a harder experience rate.
  • Each of these separate experience rate modes will have their own hiscores so that players will be competing/progress with other accounts in their experience bracket.
  • This new system also means that players who are currently playing on a hardcore ironman or hardcore ultimate ironman will now keep their experience rate if they die.
    • This applies to accounts created before this system was added as well, so dying on a hardcore ironman created before this update will no longer force the player to play an ironman with the 40/15x experience rate, allowing them to continue progressing a normal ironman account at the original 8x experience rate.
  • Looking up players on the forum hiscores or using the runelite hiscores plugin will show the player’s current experience rate.
• Loom/Spinning wheel:
  • Players can now use a loom to create the following items:
    • Strip of cloth
    • Bolt of linen
    • Empty Sack
    • Drift Net
    • Bolt of canvas
    • Bolt of Cotton
  • The bolt of canvas and bolt of cotton cannot be created without hemp yarn and cotton yarn, which will be unobtainable until the release of Sailing.
  • Players can now also spin Linen yarn (flax), cotton yarn (cotton boll), and hemp yarn (hemp) at spinning wheels.
• 117HD Performance Improvements:
  • The 117HD plugin has received the same treatment as the GPU plugin, and should now be much more performant, leading to 50-100% increased FPS when used.
• Hops Farming:
  • Players can now plant hops seeds in all 5 hops patches around the world.
    • Planting a hops patch requires either 3 or 4 of that specific seed to do so.
      • Plantable seeds:
        • Barley seeds (4 required)
        • Hammerstone seeds (4 required)
        • Asgarnian seeds (4 required)
        • Jute seeds (3 required)
        • Yanillian seeds (4 required)
        • Flax seeds (3 required)
        • Krandorian seeds (4 required)
        • Wildblood seeds (4 required)
        • Hemp seeds (3 required)
        • Cotton seeds (3 required)
      • Flax/Hemp/Cotton seeds will be unobtainable until the release of sailing.
    • Patches:
      • Lumbridge, north of the chicken coup
      • North of McGrubor’s Woods
      • Yanille
      • Entrana
      • Aldarin
    • All the new Hops patches have been added to the Farmer’s blessing teleport list.
• Emote Interface Update:
  • The Emotes interface has been updated, and it now has 14 new emotes that players can access.
  • The crab dance emote is currently unavailable until the release of Sailing.
• Game Mode Menu Icons:
  • Players can now see a player’s game mode in the menu entry dropdown when right-clicking a player.
  • This setting is enabled by default, and can be disabled in the settings interface in the “Interfaces” tab.
• Quality of Life:
  • Players can now store the Sanguine torva items in their looting bag.
    • Upon death to a player, the equipment will revert to normal Torva.
  • The butler's tray/uniform cosmetics are now tradable.
  • Increased the maximum bonus rate for Mixology events from 1.3x to 1.5x bonus resin.
  • Removing demonic from a barrel of demonic tallow will now withdraw the entire amount noted.
  • Advisor Ghrim now has a "Manage" Right-click option that players can use to quickly open the management interface.
  • Players can now use blighted food/potions in the mage bank/ferox enclave.
  • Added placeholders for the following items:
    • Bond ($100)
    • Bond ($100) (Untradable)
    • Bond ($50) (Untradable)
    • Ultimate Mystery Box
  • Players can now use a knife on a max cape/hood variant to revert it to the default max cape/hood.
    • When doing so, players will receive any input cape required to make the variant, for example using a knife on an infernal max cape will disassemble it into a regular max cape and an infernal cape.
  • Players can now use Sherlock’s notes on another player to transfer them between accounts.
  • When a player receives coins, if they cannot be added in their inventory/bank (due to having max cash stacks), the server will now try to add it to their inventory/bank as platinum tokens instead, only dropping the amount of coins that cannot be converted to platinum.
    • This should stop any issues of players claiming or winning coins and not noticing they drop on the ground.
  • The client will now save the player’s last resize/move dimensions when they adjust some specific interfaces, such as the world map, collection log, collection overview, and skill guide (v2).
  • Players can now plant white lily seeds in flower patches.

  • Players will now be able to store any non-accomplishment cape slot in the cape rack for any tier.
• Fixed a bug where the final hit on an NPC would sometimes not register properly if the damage was split between multiple hitsplats, allowing for some combat achievements regarding killing an npc with a specific weapon/spell to be completable with multi-hit weapons, such as dragon claws.
• Fixed a bug where the last 2 hits of Cerberus' soul attack would be delayed by 3-4 ticks.

In a case like this we wouldn't want to change individual item prices in the shop for a minigame, since we didn't balance it to begin with. What we have done is added bonuses for players (a raw 20% bonus over OSRS, up 30% from events, 15% from vote books, and 5-30% from your donator rank), and we'd prefer to continue doing it that way. I'm going to accept this partially, and increase the maximum boost from events to 50% rather than 30%.

Your suggestion has been accepted.

It's less AFK-able on Alora because you cut at a much much faster rate (10-20x, potentially more); the same goes for fishing/mining. We recently made it so that the health of most resources are shared, so that multiple players can chop a tree without depleting it faster, as well as increasing the health each tree had, there's little to be gained by increasing it further, since the reason it's not a very afk activity is because you gather resources so quickly in comparison to OSRS, a change which I don't think players would want.

Your suggestion has been declined, if you feel this was wrongfully done please contact a Senior Moderator+.
