I see no point getting rid of this rule since killing Demonic gorillas is very easy. If you wanted to relax and watch a TV show while playing Alora, you'd do some AFK skilling instead.

Hey guys, welcome back to the latest edition of the Alora Newspaper.
In this months edition we will be going over some huge updates, some new staff and a couple of new rules updates!
Date & time of updated rule: 9/25/2017 9:06 AM EST
Updated section: In-game
Time or date that the updated rule(s) will be put into effect: Immediately
Part(s) added, changed or removed: RED
Brief explanation (optional): Added two explanations of scamming that specifically apply to Alora, as they aren't rules/don't apply on OSRS
12. Refunds (Scams, Disconnects etc.)
• a. Disconnections will not be refunded; feel absolutely free to create a thread about it stating the problem thoroughly so the problem can be fixed.
• b. Donations will only be refunded if he/she has not been given his/her items or position (forums, server) after 72 hours; otherwise, a refund is not required. Items that have been claimed through our donation system that have been lost at the fault of one's own will not be refunded.
• c. Reset of the server and/or forums will be refunded if he/she has posted valid proof of their purchase in 'Donations' board; otherwise, a refund is not required.
• d. Scammed members will not be refunded because we provide effective methods to avoid being scammed, such as using a middleman (server support, moderator, administrator etc.). Please note that we do not accept photo-reports of members being scammed. One must provide video evidence or it will not be handled. Please do note that scammers will be punished severely with a permanent ban on their first offense, followed up by an IP-Ban on their second offense.
- Changing agreed upon rules, or switching weapons (Staff of the dead + spec in a dds fight) in a duel is considered scamming regardless of who wins the duel
- Impersonation of gambler accounts at ;;gamble (using similar names) will result in a permanent ban of the account, and if continued, the punishment(s) will be moved to the user's main account (staff discretion)
• e. Hacking refunds will not be handed out, given that we frequently advertise and provide extremely effective security. Two Factor Authentication (2FA) makes it virtually impossible to be hacked, granted that one has it enabled.
• f. Glitch refunds will only be refunded if the member has extremely sufficient proof and also has proof of containing the items prior to the occurrence of the glitch. Note that if Omicron does not see the proof as satisfactory, it can be declined and a refund will not be issued.

The Updates that come out on 10/14/17 & 10/20/17 was huge! The following was added;
You can find more information about our recent updates by clicking HERE!
Many thanks to Omicron for these spectacular updates!
Over the past couple of weeks there have been some coming and goings. The following changes have been made to the team. I'm sure you'll all join me in welcoming the new members to the team as well as thanking past staff members for their efforts.
Staff update as of October 17th, 2017:
Promotions:
casual has been promoted to Server Support.
The reason for adding so many event managers is to split the workload amongst them so that it is easier to manage, and less likely to have a burn out.
Resignations:
Demotions:
Prague has been demoted from Server Moderator.
Congrats to everyone promoted and best of luck to those gone.
All staff updates can be found HERE.

Hello everyone,
I hope you've all been enjoying last week's construction update! Overall, the launch went smoothly, but as anticipated there were numerous bugs that we'd like to address in this update. We've covered almost every bug that was reported, with a few small outstanding bugs and missing construction content which will likely come in the update that follows today's. Keep an eye out for some Halloween content coming to Alora very soon
We hope this makes training construction even more enjoyable! :)
Regards,
Omicron

Really nice updates.
Although having Uber as a requirement for plank-making mahogs is a little weird because
A] if you have uber you are already rich and will just buy the logs instead of even using the spell
B] nobody is going to donate that much for the "convenience" of plank-making logs
Seems like a money grab on top of other "incentives".
Just my thoughts. . .

Few things I've noticed off the bat, not having tried con yet; Light ballista is still unable to be made, addy gloves are still one def. Also granite body/legs are 1 def still, should be 50 as is on OSRS.
I know you've put a ton of work into this whole update @Omicron Work on con first & focus on what's gonna effect the most people first then effect the small things like I mentioned. Besides that tho amazing update from what I've seen so far.
edit: yooooooooooo this shit is wild. good shit omi

Simple guide, but yet very effective. I had no idea the Varrock teleport (displayed in your guide) even existed, normally I would teleport to Varrock by using the spell book. I guess you learn something new every day huh
Great job Max. This guide will become extremely handy for players curious as to what the fastest method is.
