Happy holidays and welcome to another awesome addition of the Alora Newspaper.

 

6e2650e65e5457d0a5aa760a7adcbacc23c6b499

 

This week we saw a nice batch of updates from Omicron and our new developer GameDevJason.

 

Miscellaneous:

A portal to leave the Mage arena miniquest has been added
This is due to many people getting stuck inside without runes to fight with Magic
Monkeys can no longer steal from stalls quicker
Stamina potions can now be decanted
Mithril seeds now use the correct OSRS rates for flower spawning(rather than completely random)
New rates :

Clanchat fixs:
Although we're not completely done with this, clan chats will now save properly on logout.
We're currently in the midst of testing ranks, and those will be included in the near future.
Purple dots now appear on the minimap for members in your clan
 
Money Casket Rewards
There are now three types of money caskets. The first tier now grants between 50 and 100k, the second tier grants between 75 and 110k and the third tier grants between 100 and 125k. The first tier requires a monster to have between 1-50 combat, the second requires 51 and 150, and the third is anything exceeding that. Any player with a current chest before this update has a tier 3 chest, enjoy! 
 
Coins for Reclaimables on Death
When a player dies in the wilderness with an item on their person that is reclaimable will have 50% of the reclaimable cost dropped in the form of coins for the killer. The purpose of this is to give back some of the money that is leaving the economy so that players that focus on player killing can make more money whilst doing so.

There were two rule updates this week please read below to get to know the new updates.

There were changes to the staff team this week.
 
Thunder was demoted from his server moderator rank.
 
 
PMC29T1.png
 
This section of the newspaper is one of my favorites to do, it's time to announce which member has been outstanding this week. This week's winner is no different from any of the past winners. He has been helping out extremely well and has been doing it an an ordealy fashion. We would look to announce that Drako has been choosen as player of the week.
 
Drako will recieve a prize of 10M. Please pm me when you get the chance for details.
 
c243f409096c7896a9fe29ba02703af0acc47023
 
 
 This week we interviewed NexusGod
 
 
 
Thunder: Alora has been on a steady pace since we launched, even though we had some mishaps in the beginning, is there anything you think needs to be changed in order to maintain our current pace and continue to grow?
 
Nexusgod: Yes, Omicron needs to communicate with the player more, I hardly get to see him. There is also times when bugs are here for too long and Omicron has gone silent, this needs to change for this to be fixed.
 
Thunder: I see, well Omicron just hired a new developer so that updates can come out in a faster pace, apart from updates is there anything else you'd like to see?
 
Nexusgod: Yeah, I've seem alot of him around the forums which is awesome to be honest. Having him communicate with us is key for improvements. As to your other question, I feel that donater benefits needs to be readjusted. For example right now as an extreme donator, there are some super donator benefits that I have lost, for example I'm not alerted when my farming patches are done. Something I did have when I was a super donator.
 
 
 
 
Thanks for reading this week's newspaper. Feel free fre suggest any additions for next week's edition on a post below.

6e2650e65e5457d0a5aa760a7adcbacc23c6b499


 


Omicron was on fire this week with his updates, here are just some of them.


 


Combat/wilderness changes:


We've reworked the way the formula which determines whether you will hit or not works, The formulas overall were inaccurate and have been tweaked to be more similar to OSRS. This includes special attack accuracy which has also been reworked.


 


Improved item switching


Fixed item "flashing" for too long and double flashing as if you clicked it twice


 


Changed the way multi-combat works:


You can now attack other players in multi even if you are in single


 


X-Log timer increased


If you get attacked while in combat and close your client, you will stay logged in for 30 seconds


 




Ring of Dueling now works:


Teleport to Duel Arena, Castle Wars or Clan Wars


 




Wall safes added:


Available in the Rogue's den for players with level 50+ thieving:


Steal between 1-3.5k coins as well as a 12.5% chance of receiving a random gem!

This week the punishments for RWT were updated aswell as a new rule for fraud was added, please review them and get to know the new punishments and rule.

First Offense (Selling) - Permanent Ban  | Second Offense - IP-Ban


First Offense (Buying) - 7 Day Ban with items wiped (Cash/Items that were traded) | Second Offense - Perm Ban  | Third Offense - IP-Ban




 




20. Fraud


Fraud is any sort of intentional wrongful deception of staff members intended to result in person/financial gain. Punishment can be issued to any player who breaks this rule given that there is proof beyond reasonable doubt(to be determined by the staff member issuing the punishment). This includes, but is not limited to:


a. Lying to staff members about losing items due to a bug.


b. Falsely accusing other players of breaking a rule that results in the punishment of that player.

c243f409096c7896a9fe29ba02703af0acc47023


 


 


This week the person we interviewed was our Community Manager Blank, read as we get to know him better.


 




What pet would you love to have?


Used to have a dog a couple of years ago, due to moving and current living space (being in dorms) I currently do not have the ability to have one anymore. Though I'd love to have one again. 


 


What sports do you enjoy doing?


Used to be on the basketball team, and on the baseball team. No longer play any of these sports due to my social life and other activities but these were my main activities a couple of years ago.


 


What's your one biggest pet peeve?


The most annoying thing I find would be people who can't think things through using information given to them. In other words, people who lack common sense.


 


What's your one annoying habit?


Not doing my dishes when I'm done eating I guess. Sometimes I am someone who enjoys having a clean place, but other times I just don't bother at all. Very bipolar in this sense,  just go to the extremes for these things.  There's other things which can be considered annoying but ha this one is kinda the one that gets me. Do note: When I have people over, this isn't really an issue. It's just something that occurs when I'm alone doing things for myself.

Ban Wave






 Posted by Blank
on 10 December 2016 - 04:26 AM




Dear members of Alora,


Yesterday we toppled some of the biggest gold distributeurs found in Alora. All parties involved with (read: have bought or sold to) have received a respective punishment for what they have done. This is more of a notification to bring up once more that buying and selling gold is against our rules, and that your account will be punished if we ever get a trace of it. Might I add that it is quite easy for us to find where gold goes, and how it goes there. Also we have gone through a botting ban wave, there are scripts being detected. These people received (and will continue to receive) IP bans, along with regular account bans on top of it. 


I will not list the parties involved, however, we are a firm believer of second chances. The buyers of said gold can make an appeal to be unbanned in 7 days time (depending on certain things). As for the sellers, you're probably out of luck and will not be receiving the chance of an unban.


Therefore, take this as an update to why there have been over 50+ users who got banned. And take it as a warning for the future, to not break our rules(macroing) and try not to RWT. 


Thanks

Blank

Alora Administration

Development blog #1






 Posted by Omicron
on 27 November 2016 - 11:46 PM





Hello,


 


Welcome to the first(of many) development blog for Alora! Many of you have requested to have more information on upcoming updates, and I think it's a great way for all of you to get more involved with future updates, as well as having your say on what you like, and what you don't like.


 


At the moment, Alora is still in its early stages, so we've got plenty of bug fixes on our list that won't be shown here. We'll typically only include actual content updates here, and although there is currently no interval set for the frequency of the development blogs, I'll make sure to keep you guys updated as well as I can :)


 


 


During the next week or so, we'll be starting work on and/or finishing:


  • Clan chat
    • 

  • Quick prayers
    • 

  • Looting bag
    • 

  • Rune pouch
    • 

  • Hiscores expansion

    • User viewing and searching
      • 

    • 

 


Not much media to show at the moment, but the Rune pouch interface has had considerable progress:


sUU5bwr.png


 


 


Of course, we'll try to squeeze in some other content that is not as high priority in between, such as having an NPC convert your Zamorak spear into a Hasta for a price, as well as the many bug fixes that are to come.


 


 


We're hoping to get most, if not all of these updates completed within the coming week. While we're not exactly sure what next week will look like, the Abyssal sire is high priority on the list, so expect that as well ;)


 


 


Thanks for reading!


 


Regards,


Omicron

Officially 1 Month of Alora!






 Posted by Omicron
on 04 December 2016 - 08:24 PM





Hello everyone,


 


 


 


As of today, we've officially been online for 1 month! We've also coincidentally broken our max player count today by reaching over 500 players online, which is incredible for only a month of uptime. 


 


We've experienced major growth in the past month, and it goes without saying that we could not have done it without the constant support from all of you. We've had our ups and downs, but overall the past month has been a great experience that I hope all of you have enjoyed. I personally want to let you know that I am grateful for not only the patience that all of you have had while we dealt with issues, but also for helping to better our server and community on a daily basis, whether it be through bug reports and suggestions have been frequently posted, or simply welcoming new players and answering basic questions for them.


 


On behalf of the staff team, I'd like to take a moment to thank all of you for being a part of Alora and helping to shape our community into what it is today, and I am excited for what the future holds :)


 


Some media from events today:

ShareX Screen Capture Tutorial






 Posted by Life
on 26 October 2016 - 06:31 AM





header.jpg?t=1448123316


Hello ladies & gentlemen.


Before I go into the guide and show you all ShareX has to offer, I'll give you a quick description of what exactly this program does. Basically, ShareX is a free, open source program that's been in active development for over 8 years. ShareX supports over 80 different hosting services including but not limited to Imgur, FTP, Dropbox, Pastebin, and also supports most URL shortening websites. You're able to capture crisp, and clean screenshots, GIF's, and videos within a few clicks, and save the links for days, weeks, and even months.


 


Now that we're all familiar with ShareX, and what it does, I'll go ahead and jump into the guide. First, you'll want to click this sentence to download and Install this fine program.


Go through the preferences of pre-installation and choose whatever you wish, and wait patiently until the installation is finished, and choose to run the program, you'll notice a new icon in your toolbar that looks like this.c7d9557fba.png


You have two options, option one is left click this icon to bring up the screen capture mode, which can be used by simply clicking and dragging your mouse to cover the area of your screen you want, more options can be found on the left side, like blur, active monitor capture, and even a freehand capture. For now, let's just hit our ~ / ` button usually located under the esc button, to capture our full screen, if you mess up at any time, you can cancel the capture by right clicking. After capture you'll hear a note, and see our logo change into a 0058a169f0.png, this just means it's almost uploaded, and shortly after a 'popup notification' will be activated on the bottom right of your screen, simply left click to open the image in your browser, or right click to copy the URL to your clipboard for use at a later time. Our second option instead of left clicking the icon to bring up the capture screen, is now we're going to right click it to bring up a menu.


c8105a41be.gif


This program saves your recent captures, allowing easy access to come back to your history and grab that URL to media you need again. Mess around and explore the menus, there are a lot of customization options to choose from. One of the many reasons I choose ShareX over any other screen capturing software, is the ease of use, the versatility, easy sharing, and being able to capture a moment, and upload & getting a link within a few seconds is incredibly useful, no more going to annoying websites and manually uploading! 


 


Image Combiner: Useful for threads to show off media, or combine multiple photos into 1 photo & URL.


dd279788d4.gif


If there are any questions, feel free to post and I'll help you out. I will be posting some tips and tricks on how to better your experience with this software.


 


Happy capturing!


I own all images of Vernox I've uploaded, my old server media so no advertising intended as it's no longer hosted.
