Volta

SS pls

No joke

Didn't even notice that there wasn't a vouch section on the forums up until you pointed this out. This should definitely be added as it's more convenient and allows gamblers to build up their reputation in a more suitable way. You have my full support on this, not sure why it wasn't added, and as far as buying ranks is concerned I still think that should stay just in-case of scams that someone is able to receive a refund from the money they paid for their rank.

Support 100%. This would ease the hard work of staff having to watch over & give out the ranks to the trustworthy players. 

Implementing vouch section would be a good addition to the forums, people will have the opportunity to seek the section and give their vouches. Hope the suggestion gets accepted, thanks for submitting it!

Congratulations to the promoted. I think you'll do an excellent job, from what I've seen already. Also, sad to see Volta go. Enjoyed my time working with you, was a pleasure.

@Volta I'll miss having someone to talk to in the staff chat.  

Hey guys,

Short & quick staff team updates ; 

• @Volta, he will be playing under the name Korea,has been promoted to server moderator once again - he has found his drive to moderate for us once again, and we find that it would be a waste of his talents to go back to being a server support. Therefore, we'd like to welcome him back to the team.
• @ Iron Flee has been promoted to server support. I know it's on quite a short time notice, and that he still is getting his name known in the community, however, I do believe that he will be a beneficial asset for Alora. So let's welcome him to the team, and wish him the best in his new position.

That's about it for today. Hopefully that addresses all the staff changes for today, if need be I will create another one later on.

The Alora Administration Team

• Bonds update reverted
  • Bonds are now back to how they were before due to popular request -- that is, granting a rank increase past Super donator.
• Hans added to home (south-west):
  • Hans will be able to tell you how long you've spent in the world since you've joined!
• Shift-click functionality added to client:
  • Following a recent OSRS addition, we've decided to add this QOL feature:
    • Hold shift while clicking an inventory item to drop it!
• Fixed Boss timer records on PvM lectern:
  • Previously, your solo kill would always be considered a team kill and therefore not counted on highscores. This has been fixed, and you should start to see proper boss kill timers populate the in-game PvM records very soon.
    • For reference, the records are updated automatically as soon as the player who set it logs out.
  • TzTok-Jad added to killtime and kill count records:
    • Jad's killtime will be based on the time that you started the fight cave session, NOT the time it has taken since you first attacked Jad as it normally is.
• Fixed pet visual bug:
  • After recoloring your Rock golem with an ore (or if one of your pets undergoes metamorphosis), its color would change if you enter a different area (visual only).
    • This has been fixed, the new color of your pet will stay consistent after teleporting.
• Raids dungeon timer fixed:
  • Issue where it would not show/save your time record has been fixed.
• Miscellaneous:
  • Godsword shards will no longer appear as a "rare drop" yelled under game news for obvious reasons.
  • Fixed Cerberus combat bug
  • You can no longer rest while in combat.
  • Fixed grammatical error on some tips.
  • Colored rock golems that aren't your own pet will no longer show the right-click options.
  • Right-clicking the donation manager to "Check-donations" will no longer show you the "As an ironman, you are not allowed" message.
  • ::support command added to take you to the Support section on the forum
  • Sir tiffy cashien in Falador will no longer be facing the wrong direction sitting on the bench.
  • Fixed Ancient d'hide top graphical error -- now goes over your arms
  • Fixed "Weird old man" chatbox head instead of Brother brace when trying to deposit GP into the Well of goodwill.
  • Pegasian crystals now always announce on the global rare drop yell
• Skin color saving:
  • If you unlock a skin from the Donation manager, it will now (from this point forward) be re-obtainable for free if you ever wish to change between other skin colors.
    • Unfortunately, those with previously purchased skin colors will not have them saved. You can send me a PM to manually unlock it with a screenshot of your skin.
• Item requirements fixed:
  • Mages' book - 60 Magic
  • Gilded armour - 40 Defence
  • Saradomin, Zamorak and Guthix rune trimmed armour - 40 Defence
  • Saradomin, Zamorak, Guthix, Ancient and Armadyl godhide armour - 40 Defence and 70 Ranged
  • Odium and Malediction wards (and (or) versions) - 60 Defence
• Fixed donator benefits for all ranks:
  • Certain rank bonuses were broken -- Eg. A legendary donator would not receive a bonus that a super donator would.
    • The whole system has been reworked to properly support this in all cases.
• Visual appearance of Superior Slayer encounters have been updated to make them appear more "Superior".
  • This much needed update makes all encounters much more visually appealing.
• Raids changes:
  • Olm door ~ Quick entry:
    • You can now right-click enter the door before Olm at raids to skip the dialogue
  • Fix for getting points on "all-healing" npcs such as Olm's head before the final phase:
    • Previously, it was possible to stack points on NPCs that healed themselves.
      • It is no longer possible to obtain points for damage that heals an enemy.
• Abyssal bludgeon special attack fixed:
  • It was previously using incorrect animation.
  • The proper graphics that plays on the ground under your victim has also been added.
  • (Note: The previous "effect" of the Special attack was correctly working and has not been changed.)
• Banks fixed for noting/unnoting:
  • Many banks were broken in the sense that you could not note/unnote items on them(even if they worked as a bank), including:
    • Varrock west/east, falador east/west, catherby, seers village, lumbridge, neitiznot, ardougne south/north, yanille, tzhaar, duel arena chests, clan wars chests, pest control, mages' bank, crafting guild, raids, edgeville RFD chest.
    • Thanks to @alumentum for compiling this list of banks!
  • Bank noting/unnoting now works on bankers as well:
    • Primarily updated for this to work with the banker in the Donator zone and in the Mages' bank.
• Abyssal head loot from using your Unsired on the Font of Consumption fixed:
  • Previously, the Abyssal head from the Sire could not be combined with a Slayer helmet to create the Red slayer helmet. This item has been fixed.
    • For those of you with the old item, it will automatically be fixed next time you log in.
• Woodcutting update - Bird nests!
  • It is now possible for a Bird nest to fall out of a tree while woodcutting!
    • (Any tree except for meat trees in Raids -- 1/256 chance each time you chop a log)
    • Rate is NOT affected by the type of tree you are chopping.
    • There are 10 different nests, including:
      • Regular nest
      • Guthix, Saradomin or Zamorak egg nests
      • Gold ring
      • Easy, medium, hard and elite scroll nests
    • Each donator rank will increase your chance of obtaining a nest by:
      • Uber - 15%
      • Legendary - 10%
      • Extreme - 7%
      • Super - 5%
      • Regular - 3%
  • All nests will give a tree seed reward with the possibility of a ring OR the rare chance of an Uncut onyx
  • If you obtain a god egg, it can be given as a gift to the gods by using it on any altar:
    • These eggs will reward you with prayer experience, as well as the chance of obtaining a piece of the Evil chicken outfit!
      • The Evil chicken outfit pieces are tradable.
  • After opening the nest, it can be crushed with a Pestle and mortar to be used as a Herblore ingredient (specifically for Ironmen)
• Trading Giant mole skins and claws:
  • You can now trade in your skins and claws from defeating the Giant mole which has been a thorn in Wyson the gardener's side for years.
    • Wyson will be more than happy to give you 1 Bird nest for every 10 claws, or for every 20 skins.
    • (Unlike in OSRS, it is possible for these nests to be God egg nests.)
      • 20 Mole skins = 1 random Bird nest
      • 10 Mole claws = 1 random Bird nest
• Fishing update ~ Clue bottles!
  • There is now a random chance of a Clue bottle settling ashore!
    • The chance to obtain one is determined by the level of the fish you are catching
  • This rate is reduced by these %s for donators:
    • 15% for Uber
    • 10% for Legendary
    • 7% for Extreme
    • 3% for Regular
  • Easy, Medium, Hard and Elite clue bottles
    • Opening a Clue bottle will guarantee 1 clue scroll of the same type
    • There is also a chance to obtain Corrupted armour when opening a Clue bottle!
      • This armour is untradable.
• Looting bag now functional!
  • An update that is long past due, the Looting bag is now available for players to use!
  • Obtainable from killing many different enemies in the wilderness
  • Able to store 28 items within -- it is essentially a second inventory that can ONLY be used within the wilderness.
    • The only way to remove the items, though, is to bank the looting bag or to die with it.
      • Banking the looting bag will insert all of its contents into the bank.
      • Dying with the looting bag will release all of the items no matter what.
        • If you died to another player, it will drop for them. Otherwise, the items will only be visible to you for a few minutes.
• Rune pouch fixes:
  • Previously, the rune pouch would be usable even if it was not in your inventory (banked with runes). This has been fixed.
  • It would also show that you indeed had runes to use on your spellbook and would light up spells, which has also been fixed.
• Climbing boots access for Ironmen:
  • You can now obtain a pair of Climbing boots from Hamal the Chieftain's shop after completing the Mountain daughter quest.
• Forum update:
  • Uber rank donator image has been added thanks to @Jedzio
• Hiscores update:
  • Overall XP will no longer be limited to 2.147m and will now show the correct value.
• Shop changes:
  • Bounty teleport scroll added for 150 tokens

• [Wilderness updates]
• Wilderness Multi-lines fixed:
  • All multi-zones have been corrected. Some areas were incorrectly multi-zones, and some boundaries were also slightly off.
    • The previous multi zone south-west of the graveyard should not have been multi at all and has been removed.
    • Certain areas such as slightly east of Black chinchompas spanning to the Red Dragon Isle which are supposed to be multi were not.
    • Multi-zone surrounding the Lava maze had boundaries that were slightly off.
    • Wilderness agility course boundaries were way off, the arena itself is not multi at all. Matched to OSRS.
  • A ton of time was spent walking around the wilderness on OSRS to make sure these zones were accurate -- but in case an area is incorrect, please PM me to let me know the exact area.
• Teleportation ~ Cancelling incoming damage:
  • Teleporting with jewellery will now cancel incoming damage similarly to how spellbooks/levers/teleport tablets do.
  • The way this functionality is handled has been changed a bit to ensure that no damage will be taken, even delayed damage -- except that from poison.
• Mage Arena changes:
  • Melee/ranged PvP combat is no longer allowed within the Mage arena.
  • Similarly to fighting against Battle mages, you can only use Magic spells in PvP from this point moving forward.
  • This covers all areas within the arena once you teleport through the lever, meaning the sides of the arena are also Magic only.
• Bounty teleport added:
  • Unlocked through a *tradable* Bounty teleport scroll -- Purchasable from the PKP shop or web store.
    • Spell works from either the Normal, Ancient or Lunar spellbooks with a requirement of 85 Magic.
    • Requires 1 Law rune, 1 Death rune and 1 Chaos rune and grants 45 experience.
    • Chance of not using runes to cast with a Staff of the dead/SOTD or Kodai wand.
  • Function:
    • Will teleport you within 12 squares of your target, as long as you are both in the wilderness and you are not teleblocked or in combat.
• PKP Shop updates:
  • Dragon claws, Abyssal dagger and Heavy ballista removed from PKP shop.
  • Bounty teleport scroll added to PKP shop
  • Overall PKP prices slightly increased
• Emblem exchange changes:
  • Emblems will now give 30% more coins and 25% less PKP.
• Food->Combat delay fixed:
  • Eating food (not potions) will now have a more accurate delay before being able to attack again.
  • This includes certain healing potions, including: Saradomin brews, Guthix rest, and Xeric's aid.
• Teleblock fix:
  • Previously, a player could turn on Protect from Magic very late after the teleblock spell is casted and still be protected from it and halve its time.
  • This was incorrect, as the "check" for protection prayer should be checked for immediately when the attacker casts the spell and not after that.
• Ranged fixes in PvP(and PvM):
  • Many players are aware that many bolt specials were broken and mostly non-functional. These have been fixed to balance the combat triangle:
    • Dragon bolts (e) effect:
      • Damage increased by 45%
      • Does not work if the enemy is wearing an Anti-dragon shield, Dragonfire shield or drank an Anti-fire potion.
    • Diamond bolts (e) effect:
      • Increases max hit by 15%
      • Lowers target's Ranged defence by 25%
    • Onyx bolts (e) effect:
      • Damage increased by 20%
      • Heal your health by 25% of the damage dealt
      • The healing part of this special was already functional before, but not the damage increase.
    • (Emerald bolts (e) effect tweaked as well)

I'm no expert but I feel like some of the interview is missing.

All credits to @Volta for taking the time to write the thread.

lol'd at this. Can't believe someone has to write the topics for you. And these updates always are like week or two late. Is it actually that hard fulfill your job? I don't mean to be rude. It's obvious that you are lazy and lacking all aspect as "Community Manager"

Now to the actual topic. Congratulations to those who were promoted well deserved I guess. Jedzio it's sad to see you demoted once again I feel like you should been promoted instead of the demoted. But I guess there's some beef between you and administrator team.

@Otto resigned from Global Moderator and came back shortly after. We're happy to have him back on the team.
