Hello everyone,
 
Today's update brings a number of Theatre of Blood changes, with a big thanks to @Mack for compiling a list of the current bugs and inconsistencies with ToB. We've also made plenty of other QoL changes, particularly with interfaces such as adding a search button to the Teleport Wizard's interface, as well as sorting the list alphabetically. We've also updated the House list, using the proper interface and full functionality to view other players' homes. The Wilderness Bounty Hunter interface has also received some love, and is now more similar to the OSRS interface, allowing it to be docked/minimized.
 
Additionally, any players who had the Barbarian Assault icons (custom donations) will now be able to equip those items in the "jaw slot" which is an invisible slot so that the items do not replace your cape. With this jaw slot functionality, we've also introduced Soul wars red & blue icons, as well as an interface to toggle these items on your character. All 6 "jaw-slot" cosmetic items (4 Barbarian Assault icons, and 2 Soul wars icons) are available in our store. Keep in mind that they are not tradable, and once unlocked they will always be on your account! The added benefit of this is that they will not be lost on death, either.

• Shop Changes:
  • Custom Icons:
    • We’ve expanded the in-game icons to include more icons and apply the cosmetic effect more conveniently for players.
      • When a player tries to equip one of their icons from now on, it will prompt them with an option to permanently bind the icon to their account, allowing them to show off the cosmetic icon without needing to take up an equipment slot (previously the cape slot would be used for icons).
        • Players can change their icons by speaking to the donation manager.
    • We’ve also added 2 new icon types, being the blue icon and red icon.
      • Players can purchase these new icons, along with the old barbarian assault icons from the shop’s cosmetic section.
  • Icon prices:
    • Attacker icon
    • Defender icon
    • Collector icon
    • Healer icon
      • 575 tokens
    • Red icon
    • Blue icon
      • 1,000 tokens

• Theatre of Blood Rework:
  • Stat boosts will no longer be removed when entering the Theatre of Blood. 
  • A Vyre Orator will now appear at the beginning of the Theatre of blood just before the Maiden barrier.
    • Players can speak to this Vyre to end the raid for the entire team.
  • The Maiden of Sugadinti:
    • The blood spawns will now spawn permanent blood splats in hard mode.
  • Bloat:
    • Players can now attack bloat at any point throughout the fight.
  • Nylocas:
    • Fixed a bug where Nylocas would sometimes spawn into the pillars when the Large variants were killed.
  • Sotetseg:
    • Sotetseg will now attack potentially attack using a relatively inaccurate Melee attack if it’s target is in melee range.
      • Players who protect from melee will have this damage reduced by 50%.
      • The max hit of this attack is 45.
    • Sotetseg will now only attack with it’s mage ball attack, rather than both the range and mage ball.
      • The range ball will be from rebounds, rather than the primary attack.
      • The damage of these 2 attacks has been increased from 45 to 50.
  • Xarpus:
    • Fixed a bug where xarpus would continuously face the same corner in his defensive stage sometimes.
  • Verzik Vitur:
    • Phase 1:
      • Players will now be able to speak to Verzik to start the fight when they enter the phase.
        • The fight will officially begin when players speak to verzik and start the fight, or 2 minutes elapse.
      • Players can now deal damage to Verzik in Phase 1 without the Dawnbringer.
        • Accuracy is reduced, and damage is vastly reduced as well.
          • Range/Magic attacks can do 0-3 damage at most.
          • Melee attacks can do 0-10 damage at most.
      • The dawnbringer special attack now works properly, dealing between 75-150 damage on Verzik in the first phase.
      • Rocks will now fall around the pillar that Verzik attacks in Phase 1 in Hard Mode.
        • These rocks will deal between 5-35 damage, and stun the player for 5 ticks.
    • Phase 2:
      • Verzik will now be unattackable for a slightly longer period when transitioning from phase 1 to phase 2.
      • The exploding crabs in the Theatre of Blood will now do the correct amount of damage.
        • If the player is in any of the occupied tiles (4 tiles that the crab occupies), they’ll take 63 damage.
        • If the player is 1 tile away from the crab (any perimeter tile), they’ll take 26 damage.
        • If the player is 2 tiles away from the crab, they’ll take 8 damage.
        • The damage of the explosion will also be scaled down based on the ratio of the crab’s remaining hit points.
          • For example, if a crab with 50% hp explodes and the player is within 1 tile of it, the player will take 13 damage, rather than 26.
      • Verzik will no longer use the red magic ball attack in phase 2 until she is at 35% hp or less.
      • Verzik now has a Bounce attack that she uses during phase 2.
        • If a player is within 1 tile of her when she is about to attack, she will instead use a bounce attack on that player, dealing between 0-45 damage, and stunning that player for 8 ticks.
          • This guarantees that the player will have to tank a second hit if Verzik decides to use the poison orb attack.
      • Once Verzik has reached 35% hitpoints in this phase, she will begin to alternate attacks between the red magic attack and the range bomb attack.
        • She will also begin by spawning 2 Nylocas Matomenos, who will wander around, and then eventually explode healing Verzik for their remaining hit points.
          • She will spawn these once she reaches 35% or less hitpoints, and then every 8 attacks after that.
• Client Settings Changes:
  • A new setting has been added to show dead npc’s context menu options.
    • This means that when an npc is dying, their context menu options will now be hidden by default.
      • The setting to re-enable the context options is only available on the runelite client, and is permanently disabled on Vanilla.
  • All of the “Coming soon” and un-used options in the extra settings list have been hidden.
• Boss Killcount Interface Changes:
  • The Boss/Monster killcount interfaces have now been separated.
    • In the Server statistics tab, players will notice there is now a “View Monster Killcounts” option, and a “View Boss Kills/TImes” option.
    • We’ve given the boss killcounts/killtimes it’s own custom interface that is more aesthetically pleasing, and can also show bow kill times and killcounts at the same time.
      • The Monster killcounts interface will remain the same, due to the larger capacity of the scroll interface, and the search functionality.
    • The Ring of Wealth “Boss Log” option will now work properly.
    • These changes will also be reflected in the Adventure log in a player’s POH.
• Wilderness Overlay Improvements:
  • We’ve adjusted the wilderness overlay, particularly the bounty hunter overlay, to match OSRS more closely.
    • This new overlay can be minimized or docked to different sides of the screen, and will adjust it’s positioning depending on if the KDR overlay is opened, or if the xp counter is visible.
• Teleport Wizard Changes:
  • The Teleport Wizard search button has now been made far easier to recognize.
  • The Teleport wizard interface is now sorted alphabetically.
    • This new change may take a bit of getting used to for our veteran/dedicated players, however we think it’ll be a lot easier for new players to quickly and easily find what they’re looking for.
• Equipment Rebalance Tier Changes:
  • A few end-game items have had their level requirements adjusted to more suitably match their tier.
    • The full changes can be found in the link below:
      • https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Update:Equipment_Rebalance_Tier_Changes_%26_Poll_76[/size][/size]
• House List Changes:
  • The House list interface has received a huge upgrade, which will now allow players to see all houses opened to the public, along with their features.
    • This new house list will show the following information for any open homes:
      • If the owner has a guilded altar
      • The tier of the owner’s Portal nexus (if they have one)
      • The tier of the owner’s Rejuvenation pool (if they have one)
      • The tier of the owner’s Jewellery box (if they have one)
      • The tier of the owner’s magic Altar (if they have one)
      • If the owner has an armour stand
    • Players will also have an option to directly enter the houses of any user listed on the interface.
  • Home owners who have their house open to the public and are not in build mode will automatically show up on the house list interface if they are in their homes.
    • To remove yourself from this list, you can right click the portal inside of your POH, or click the “add/remove house” button on the house list interface.
• Collection Log Changes:
  • Additions:
    • Added the Dragonstone Gauntlets to the Miscellaneous category.
    • Added the Abyssal Protector to the “All Pets” category.
  • New Categories:
    • Random Events:
      • This category will track all of the possible items that players can obtain from random events specifically on Alora.
        • Any new items obtained will automatically be logged.
          • Players who already have these items will need to take them to The Collector npc to have him log the items.
            • All items in this category can be logged after the fact through The Collector.
    • Skilling Outfits:
      • This category tracks all of the mainstream skilling related outfits obtainable on Alora.
        • This includes the Angler outfit, Carpenter outfit, Farmer’s outfit, Graceful outfit, Lumberjack Outfit, Garments of the Eye, Prospector outfit, Pyromancer outfit, and the Rogue outfit.
          • This log does not include variants, such as coloured graceful/ornamented prospector/angler equipment.
          • All of the items in this log can be registered through The Collector if the player did not already have them in their log previously.
            • Players who had the rogue outfit before these changes will need to bring it to The Collector to have it registered.
• Armadyl GWD changes:
  • Fixed a bug where Flight Kilisa was not properly targeting players in the room.
  • Kree’arra will now only use melee if her target is not focusing here when she’s about to attack.

  • Players will now be guaranteed a Larran’s key after killing a superior slayer npc in the Wilderness Slayer Cave.
• Dwarf Cannon Changes:
  • Nulodion:
    • Nulodian will now hang out just outside of the Edgeville general store, waiting to help any player’s who’ve lost their Dwarf cannons.
      • If a player logs out with a cannon active, or it decays, players will need to go speak to Nulodion to retrieve their cannon.
        • Nulodion will charge a fee, 750k for classic/normal, 500k for ironmen/realism, to reclaim the cannon.
          • Warning: this will only work with 1 cannon at a time, so if a player has 2 cannons, and they lose their second one while Nulodion is holding the first one, it will be permanently gone.
          • Players will be notified that Nulodion is holding a cannon for them upon login, and immediately after the cannon decays.
  • The Dwarf cannons will now decay after 35 minutes if they are not repaired.
    • After 25 minutes, dwarf cannons will not break down, requiring that the operating player repair it.
      • Repairing it will reset the timer, meaning that the cannon won’t break down for another 25 minutes.
    • If the cannon is left broken for 10 minutes, it will then decay and disappear, and players will need to reclaim the cannon from Nulodion.
  • Any cannonballs in the dwarf cannon when it decays, or when the player logs out, will be removed and deleted, so make sure to empty your cannon before you logout with it.
• Gauntlet Changes:
  • Players can now properly upgrade their weapons in the Gauntlet while they're equipped.
  • The third weak monster killed will only give a weapon frame if the player hasn't obtained one already.
  • Fixed a bug with players not properly receiving all 3 unique weapon upgrades within 3 demi-boss kills.
  • Demi-bosses in the Gauntlet will now guarantee a weapon frame drop.

We hope you enjoy this update! We've got another announcement coming very soon that we're eager to share, so stay tuned and keep an eye out for a post later this weekend :)
 
Regards,
Omicron & Chad

Ok hello, I have been summoned to this shitshow of a thread and I will respond however, before I get into it, I won't be posting anymore on this thread & will gladly continue any discussions on discord, either in private or a group, your choice. Everything I put here is my own personal opinion, I've not discussed this with anybody before posting. 

Before getting into specific points, I want to talk about the discord itself, which has apparently become the point of contention for the majority & more specifically, what a player will see. 

Upon entering the discord, this is all you can see:

In the #get-role channel, you may pick the servers/games you play & want to have access to, these are our offerings (other servers are crossed out):

(Alora is the last option cba taking another picture)

Now, let's continue on the path of an Alora player, who will then react to the Alora image at the bottom to be given the correct role. This role will allow the person to see our general (which all have access to once they react to something) & alora sections, which look like this:

Now I know what some of you are thinking in regards to this general section, so let me go into more depth. The #general chat is largely filled with people joining the server and small-talk, scrolling up for the past few days I don't see a single other server being mentioned. #Media is a mix of things such as dog pics & a bunch of other random shit. #Irl is self explanatory, as other channels such as memes, music, off topic, nsfw & anime. Somebody brought up giveaways earlier, so let's take a look shall we:

The last RSPS related giveaway in this channel was on the 27th of March, and it was an Alora one. 

The Alora section doesn't require any explanations, it's purely for Alora. 

The ONLY point I'm willing to concede here is the newspaper, which includes SMALL sections for each game, looking like this (leaving out other RSPS bc censorship)

If you really think we're able to persuade / advertise from 3-4 lines of copy & pasted text, then you need to have a strong hard think about your own cognitive functions. 

This sums up our discord experience for those who only react to Alora. There are no @ everyone, @ here pings talking about other servers, those are done in their own sections, which a person is unable to see unless they have reacted specifically to get those perms, or are Admins. It truly disappoints me, that this can be classified as advertising, many of the accusers & people making the decisions are in our discord & others may join at any time to have a look for themselves. 

To look again to the original post, there's a very clear difference in what we expose a person to, in comparison to the example given here:

'ICE used to say in the discord players had to abide with Alora rules which is no server advertising. But now that doesn’t matter because ice isn’t Alora only, which is fine. But if players can’t follow our rules, we can’t allow clans that allow other server advertising/association publicly.' - Moe . Ok, let's discuss this point, first about the rules, which as you mentioned is fine. The real thorn in this statement, is advertising/association publicly, in what way are we 'allowing other server association/advertising'? A person has to give themselves the roles in discord, to see the sections that correspond to those games. They MAY hear about it in in another channel, but be realistic here, is that really so wrong, to DISCUSS a server in passing in a clan's discord? 

This rule & the reasoning behind it that I've been provided seems to imply that we continually say @Everyone hey check out X RSPS it's so much better than Alora!!!@!@!@! 

From this point the post is gonna get weird because I'll be damned if I fuck up this goliath of an essay because I try to quote something.

'Either way at the end of the day if you would rather pick another server over Alora because you enjoy it more than that's on you' - 11. The rest of your post somewhat  made sense but this line does not, what's on us? Is this rule on us because some of our clan don't play this game anymore? Some clarification on what you meant would be appreciated (@ discord). 

@gim deathkid - are you a robot? Your response managed to convey not a single meaningful message. 

@hc ashley , a few points here. 

1. The rule states " Players are only allowed to publicly advertise clans on the world yell & forums, if the clan is directly related to Alora only."

2. ​I can understand the frustration and why some individuals are upset about this rule, but its to create a healthy in-Alora based clan competition.

A- Ok but, why? Why does competition have to entail requirements of being Alora & Alora-only? The premise of the idea may work if the server was larger & had more variety in clan options but in practically, it does not. 

3. Im sorry but "using your position of power to eliminate people from the game" are you serious? for as long as ive been playing i see no reason for any of the staff members to take such low and pitiful attempt of wanting to rid of a player base or use their powers in means to "reduce competition" between clans.

@Code 002 , AKA stick-insect

1. First off I would like to say the difference between an "Open" cc and a "private" cc. An open cc ANYONE can join at ANY given time. Thus allowing a more ease of access to "other" rsps (we all know games such as COD and WOW are not a part of this *potential* new rule). Do not twist my wording to your pleasure and agenda.

A - So the only actual difference here is if said CC offers other games in an outside-medium such as discord? Would like some clarification (discord). 

2. Secondly, think of this from a "never played alora this is my first time" movie.

They notice 300 players in the clan. ( )

Once in a blue moon, when a higher-up /non-alora player hops in, they may say they play another server, without mentioning it. If, somehow, a name is mentioned, the player in question will immediately be warned. As an ex-staff member, that has never been a problem & never should. 

3. Now onto the topic of Youtubers. If my memory serves me right YouTubers are essentially paid advertisers to an extent for the longevity of the server. (I could be wrong but doubt it) This is where the difference lies within. Where as an OPEN clan has near free reign of what's going on inside of both their Discord and Ingame CC.... ( and the rest of this paragraph). 

A - I may not remember this as well as you, code, but from I know, we only took measures to delete discord links etc in Alora discord? I don't particularly remember banning/muting players for advertising discords with other content in it (apart from a few cases of RWT encouragement, I think). 

4. Also in the case of Youtubers. If they advertise non alora related videos through an Alora platform ie. Discord, forums. They have had their rights as a Youtuber REVOKED and banned from said platform. Always have always will. 

A - Back to my aforementioned point, is what we do, from what I have shown of our discord & what you are able to find yourself, really count as advertisement? 

5. Also coming back to the "using position of power to essentially get rid of the competition " is about as tinfoil as I could possibly imagine. Like how in any way shape or form does that make sense. Besides attempting to stir the pot more than it is already. THAT seems so close minded and biased I really shouldn't even be replying to tbh but I'm irked to no end.

• Our discord does not promote other servers, it is out of choice, with very few exceptions, that you are exposed to such things. (A few lines once a month, in a discord, REALLY does not warrant it being classed as advertising).
• Our clan-chat does not promote other servers.
• Clear lack of communication between the parties.
• Admittedly, our rule section seems to have disappeared & been forgotten about. It will return very shortly & will include statements to make sure advertising/link sending is punished, as it ought to have been. 

LASTLY, DO NOT TAKE ACTION BEFORE COMMUNICATING, this is not an in-game punishment where a player is being banned for hacking etc, a simple line of text could & most probably would have caused this entire rule & thread to be nullified.

Thanks for reading this fucking mess, sorry for mistakes, I won't respond here anymore, pm me on discord @ Aka#1550 (I won't send links to other servers, I promise ). 

It's nice to see some old faces I haven't seen in over a year. Hope all has been well for everyone in this time.

I would like to express my feelings and thoughts that made me come to this decision.

First off I would like to say the difference between an "Open" cc and a "private" cc. An open cc ANYONE can join at ANY given time. Thus allowing a more ease of access to "other" rsps (we all know games such as COD and WOW are not a part of this *potential* new rule). Do not twist my wording to your pleasure and agenda.


Secondly, think of this from a "never played alora this is my first time" movie.
They would see the advertising of a friendly helpful OPEN cc.

They join this help clan.

They notice 300 players in the clan. ( )

Yet only a handful actually still play the game it is based off of. In my eyes I joined the clan to be a part of the community along with the game itself. If I saw talks/giveaways/events for other servers while trying to seek HELP for alora. Why wouldn't i just not play alora and go play with the rest of the community I've joined.

^^This is just my opinion since at one point I was a cute noob aswell.


Now onto the topic of Youtubers. If my memory serves me right YouTubers are essentially paid advertisers to an extent for the longevity of the server. (I could be wrong but doubt it) This is where the difference lies within. Where as an OPEN clan has near free reign of what's going on inside of both their Discord and Ingame CC.
@Hellish, @KP if my memory also serves me right again. Haven't WE punished people in the past for scenarios resembling this situation? And sorry to call you two out like this but you're the 2 I respect the most. Why all of a sudden that neither of the 2 of you are with us, that this is now ONLY pointed at the clan? Again not to just point at you two in particular but rather discuss about it than just say "stfu toxic ex staff" were all grown here.

Also in the case of Youtubers. If they advertise non alora related videos through an Alora platform ie. Discord, forums. They have had their rights as a Youtuber REVOKED and banned from said platform. Always have always will.

And @Not Tauri (not pointing you out you were just the one to make me think this)
I understand your viewpoint on "competition" between clans (kinda how clans interact with each other) but when new people are torn between a competition between SERVERS when they JOINED VIA ALORA. Is scummy and realistically players are being (scalped) from one platform to being ushered onto another platform. Also having members of ICE contact other clan members AND <Keyword!!! Non affiliated players of the alora community to "come play Ikov with us we dont really play alora that much anymore"
Is indirect advertising at its finest. (Word of mouth) if you dont know it Google it

Also coming back to the "using position of power to essentially get rid of the competition " is about as tinfoil as I could possibly imagine. Like how in any way shape or form does that make sense. Besides attempting to stir the pot more than it is already. THAT seems so close minded and biased I really shouldn't even be replying to tbh but I'm irked to no end.

Now again, just my opinion on the matter. As it is intended to preserve the integrity of ALORA and nothing else. Any questions or concerns about MY opinion feel free to message me (currently at work so please be patient).

And lastly I'll reiterate what I said at first.

It's nice to see alot of old faces I haven't seen ingame in over a year start popping back up again.
Welcome back we've missed you.

-Alex

Unfortunately, I guess I will reply to this one too.

"It's nice to see some old faces I haven't seen in over a year. Hope all has been well for everyone in this time."

- People are allowed to be passionate about something they haven't touched in "x" amount of time. If they take a break or even quit, That doesn't mean that they have to care less about the game. I haven't actively played in months and I'm still willing to bet I have more passion about the integrity of Alora than most. The people I've met, the friendships I've built, and the amount of fun I had on here is unmatched. I will care about what happens for quite some time as I am thankful for what Alora did for me and the people on or involved with it. This won't be the last feedback thread I post if there's more stuff I disagree with. That's what a feedback section is for. Attempting to demean their comments by instantly starting out with "Haha you guys haven't even been around shut up" is weak and I expected more.

"First off I would like to say the difference between an "Open" cc and a "private" cc. An open cc ANYONE can join at ANY given time. Thus allowing a more ease of access to "other" rsps (we all know games such as COD and WOW are not a part of this *potential* new rule). Do not twist my wording to your pleasure and agenda."

- Nobody is twisting words. I suggest you re-read over the rule. The rule states and I quote "A clan that is associated with other Runescape Private Servers will be considered a private clan (may not advertise on Alora)."

By this wording, "Private clans" may not advertise on Alora.

So, I will repeat, Work on your wording to whoever decided that was typed properly if that wasn't the intention of the rule.

- The storyline of "Imagine cute noob x, y, and z'd, 300 people, persuaded into x,y, and z" is irrelevant as you're speaking off 'what-if's' and made up scenarios. I don't see any rules being put into place on made up scenario that Jay eats too many cheese balls and isn't able to continue his daily life.

"Now onto the topic of Youtubers. If my memory serves me right YouTubers are essentially paid advertisers to an extent for the longevity of the server. (I could be wrong but doubt it) This is where the difference lies within. Where as an OPEN clan has near free reign of what's going on inside of both their Discord and Ingame CC."

- ? what.

- Every youtubers discord is OPEN, their cc's in game are OPEN, and most of which advertise rwt, other servers, and whatever else someone will pay them to advertise. You're writing off youtubers as okay when they are by far worse at enticing people to join other servers than what's going on inside the ice discord. (This is opinionated, obviously)

You then take aim at Hellish and KP with "Why all of a sudden that neither of the 2 of you are with us, that this is now ONLY pointed at the clan?"

- These two haven't been staff for a minute, I'm not sure of your definition of "all of a sudden". Neither did either of these people comment on this post, So I'm not sure why they are involved. I made this thread.

"Also in the case of Youtubers. If they advertise non alora related videos through an Alora platform ie. Discord, forums. They have had their rights as a Youtuber REVOKED and banned from said platform. Always have always will."

- Yes. I don't see the ICE discord advertising other servers via their CC or via the Alora discord/forums. Unless there's behind the scene screenshots proving of SPEFICIALLY this, This is irrelevant.

"Also having members of ICE contact other clan members AND <Keyword!!! Non affiliated players of the alora community to "come play SERVER with us we dont really play alora that much anymore"
Is indirect advertising at its finest."

- I'll butt in for this one too. You can't police what someone does on discord. That's not in-game, the official discord, or forums. Asking someone to join them playing a different game is a very normal thing for friends to do.

"Also coming back to the "using position of power to essentially get rid of the competition " is about as tinfoil as I could possibly imagine. Like how in any way shape or form does that make sense. Besides attempting to stir the pot more than it is already. THAT seems so close minded and biased I really shouldn't even be replying to tbh but I'm irked to no end."

- Retweet. Already replied to him.

"And lastly I'll reiterate what I said at first.

It's nice to see alot of old faces I haven't seen ingame in over a year start popping back up again.
Welcome back we've missed you."

- I'll reiterate what I said at first. Attempting to de-value opinions isn't how things get solved. Hope the discussions in staff chats are actually considering all sides to this rule instead of writing off opinions.

Hey.

Long time no see.


Today, I heard about a new rule being added to the Alora.EYEOH community:

I have a few questions and comments regarding this. (Feedback, Ya know, Since this IS the feedback section.)


Question 1:
What does Alora gain from restricting the OFF-SITE "Private discords" as worded, from having other things in them?
- You're quite literally causing less advertisement for the server as a whole and trying to control what goes on in someones discord just because they also are a part of the Alora community. Forgive me if I'm wrong (lol imagine), but I'm pretty sure @Omicron pays for advertising and with this new rule you're taking away one of the best advertising methods: Word of mouth. (Google it if you're not familiar with the term)


Question 2:
Who caused this rule to be put in place?
- These type of rules are always a "Cause and effect" type scenario. The rule is the effect currently. So, What was the cause? Because from what I can see after logging in even briefly I have RSPS MERK advertising a video:



His thread:



His discord:
Now, I have been a little inactive I will admit. But, I don't think these are Alora graphics:



So, By definition of this new rule, I guess I'm making this a public report of him breaking the rule.


But wait, There's more!
While I'm at it, Let's take a look at some other things that break this joke of a rule.


The OFFICIAL Alora newspaper:



I won't link them here because it'll give you an excuse to hide this post, But almost every single one of these "Video makers" and some of the "Streamers" (top part) advertise/have videos for more than just Alora. So, I hope to see each of them punished accordingly. Aswell as every other discord, youtuber, content creator, or streamer that I can find that is breaking this new rule.


Ending notes:
Before you try to be smart with the wording of the rule: "Players are only allowed to publicly advertise ---CLANS--- on the world yell and forums, If the clan is directly related to Alora only"
If I see some stupid ass comment saying "Hurr durr they are advertising videos not clans" then ANY "Clan" that is being targetted by this can re-brand as a COMMUNITY and continue to advertise because each of these "Youtubers" have their own discords as-well that AREN'T being policed because the discords are just the youtubers "Community".

Side note: The "Private clan" you're targetting with this is actually an "Open cc". Whereas the one you're trying to protect is ACTUALLY classified as a "Private clan". Work on your wording.

Disclaimer:
Remember, this is a FEEDBACK section and I am giving FEEDBACK. Also, No rules were broken in the making of this post, So I hope it doesn't end up hidden. I have it saved in a notepad just incase though.

As usual, I welcome any and all comments or questions with open arms.
