Hello everyone,
I’d like to inform you that Alora will soon be undergoing major backend changes and switching hosts to improve our uptime, latency, and DDoS protection. I’m sure some of you may have noticed random disconnections or increased latency periodically, and we’ve decided to address this while simultaneously changing the way that clients communicate with our servers to improve our defences against malicious attacks.
The server migration will take some time, and although we’re not 100% sure how long it will be offline for, we are estimating that the website and game will both likely be unavailable for 2-3 hours.
On the bright side, we’ve split the login servers up in multiple countries, and when you play you will be automatically routed through the closest one to you (with the lowest ping), which will reduce latency tremendously for our players who are in North America / Australia, and may also improve for some EU players depending on your location. We are also moving to a host with generally better connection speeds, uptime and less latency.
The downtime is scheduled to begin later tonight, September 4th at 12AM EST / 4AM server time.
Although the downtime is no fun, we assure you that we'll be working on getting things back and running as soon as possible!
We appreciate your patience :)
Best regards,
Omicron

Thought of using my saved tokens again rather than just cleaning a dab rig the whole time. You have no idea the longing after 6 months.

#191736 Removing 'Open a bond' from daily system
Posted by
teeth check on 06 June 2018 - 10:34 PMAs the title states, it's a rather daft task to have and at the risk of sounding offensive, it's just a blatant cash grab.
Many players, particularly the newer ones/non-normal mains won't have the ingame cash to buy it and are forced to either spend $10 or lose their streaks.
Having spoken to a few players about it, I can't find anybody who thinks it is a good idea apart from possibly the merchers.
There's many other tasks that can replace this and I implore you to consider other options.

@Hot Cakes You are a friend, a mentor and one fantastic staff member. I'm very sad of your departure but all good things must have an end. I hope you return under different circumstances and that I'm here to witness your return. I am truly greatful for you being there for me for all kinds of matters. You've been my close friend since I joined the staff team and you've been nothing short of great. I wish you a fantastic future and good luck to whatever you decide to do next.
Thanks to all the congratulations.
Also, I've already said congratulations to all of you, but I wish you all the best of luck in your new positions!
