Hey everyone,

 

Repost of the topic that @Lowkey made a while back. Seeing quite a bit of you are new here, but still use passwords you used from older communities. So here's a fair piece of warning: 

 

Recently some players have reported losing their items due to someone else knowing their passwords, in other words getting hacked. This is likely due to those players reusing passwords between different games and communities. Many of those other communities have been leaked in the past making it easier for hackers to get a hold of your information. We encourage you to activate 2FA so you have the highest level of protection on your account. If your account is hacked there will be nothing we can do as we have offered you security for your account.

 

(You can change your password via forum)

 

Regards,

The Alora Administration Team

Derank Clarification

Hardcore Ironman mode was released on 4/8/17. Find the full update topic here. The full topic also explains how the derank system works, however, with Omicron making frequent, but extremely efficient updates, I must add, it would soon become troublesome for a member to have to search for that particular update!

List of known DANGEROUS deaths

If you die at any of these places, you lose your Hardcore status and are reverted back to a normal Ironman!

• Anywhere in the world that is not part of a mini-game
• Zulrah
• Kraken
• Cerberus
• Abyssal sire
• Battle-royale IF dangerous (lost items on death)
• Clan wars IF dangerous (lost items on death)
• Desert Treasure

List of known SAFE deaths

If you die at any of these places, you will not lose your Hardcore status and will not be reverted back to a normal Ironman!

Hi there & thanks for opening my suggestion thread.

Just a small suggestion regarding the new forum loyalty program rewards.

 

The "Rubber chicken" item which can be obtain with 125 postcount does not have its special animations.

 

According to the OSRS wikia:

When wielded, players will see a "Whack" option on all other players. Picking that option will cause the player to hit the other player. The hit is just an animation and no damage is dealt, nor does it count as entering combat.

I would love to go around and whack anyone that may come across my way.  

 

 

Additionally, there is a "dance" option when you right-click the item, though the option does not work. 

Players can right click the chicken, either in their Inventory or on the Worn Equipment screen, and select a dance option, making them do the chicken dance emote, which includes a short song.

 

Would love to have both "dance" and "whack" animations implemented. Cheers.  

Love these updates! Very happy for the forum loyality program, it should definitely revive the forums as well as promote the use!

Good luck to all HCIMs, hope none of you DC at any dangerous NPCs.

 

Road to the Cabbage cape, here we gooooo!! 

great staff updates hopefully utorrent is next in demotions.

1. Make Shayzien armour effect working (100% decreasing the damage from lizardmen shamans green attack)

2. Make Cannonballs craftable

or you know, just don't type ::empty when you have value in your inventory?  It seems like more of a personal problem rather than an actual helpful suggestion..

Hi guys and welcome to the latest edition of the Alora Newspaper. We currently have a thread open as to how we can improve the Alora Newspaper as well as to how frequent everyone would like it. You can find that here!

The update that came on 03/04/17 was another big one! The following were added;

Wilderness update:

ll multi-zones have been corrected. Some areas were incorrectly multi-zones, and some boundaries were also slightly off.

Teleporting with jewellery will now cancel incoming damage similarly to how spellbooks/levers/teleport tablets do.

Melee/ranged PvP combat is no longer allowed within the Mage arena.

Bounty teleport added; Unlocked through a *tradable* Bounty teleport scroll -- Purchasable from the PKP shop or web store.

Eating food (not potions) will now have a more accurate delay before being able to attack again

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.

Raids changes:

Olm door ~ Quick entry: You can now right-click enter the door before Olm at raids to skip the dialogue.

It is no longer possible to obtain points for damage that heals an enemy.

Looting bag;

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.

Dying with the looting bag will release all of the items no matter what.

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

TzTok-Jad added to killtime and kill count records:

Other updates:

You can find the full update list here!

Many thanks to Omicron for the great work put into them.

There's been some new rules added over the past couple of weeks. They can be viewed in RED.

1. Inappropriate Language and Flaming*

Alora is filled with many different types of races, religions, morals etc. There will be absolutely no way we will tolerate any type of disrespect, flame, and disrespect of ANY religion, race, morals and so on. This rule is taken very seriously and the punishment can vary from a warning to a permanent ban from the forums.

a. Defamation of players or staff will not be tolerated. Obsessively stating, IE spamming, that a player had scammed you without sufficient proof will be considered defamation and you will be punished.

b. Flame-baiting also falls under this rule; Do not start a new discussion thread/post with the purpose of “calling out” another member or to pick a fight with a fellow forum member. Exercise judgment when starting threads/posting; inflammatory rhetoric has rarely been observed to lead to productive discussion. Flame-baiting may result in infractions.

11. Reputation Farming

If a player asks another player to do something that 'farms' reputation, by asking, paying, or threatening another user to give you reputation for a post or topic, whether that player knows it's against the rules or not, that's considered reputation farming. It is also forbidden to make other accounts and like that post yourself. If this is discovered what you are doing you will be given an infraction along with being rep-fucked (your reputation will be reset).

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.

Collerkar76 has been promoted to Global Moderator. A great addition to the team.

Iron Senpai has been repromoted to Forum Moderator after a well deserved break. We're glad to have him back on the team
 

Haris was promoted to Server Moderator. Although it may seem a bit random, he has previous experience that will benefit the current staff team and we're glad to have him aboard!

Korea has been promoted to Server Moderator. Korea was a former staff member under the name Volta. We're happy to have him back on the team!

3rdage has been promoted to server support. Best of luck with the new position!

Iron Flee has been promoted to server support. Best of luck with the new position!

Unfortunately there have been some demotons & resignations.

Beproud has resigned from Server Moderator. We'd like to thank him for his time and dedication towards Alora.

Demolition has resigned from Server Moderator. We would like to thank him for his time on the team.

Flipper has resigned from Server Support. We'd like to thank him for his time and dedication towars Alora and wish him the best with his future endeavours.

Syrinx has been demoted from Server Support due to recent events that won't be discussed publicly.

We are proud to announce that the Player of the Week has been awarded to Syntax. Syntax as of late has gone up and above anybody else to help improve the community. The bug reports that have come in from Syntax as of late have been phenomenal. Keep up the great work. We will be in touch soon with your Bond reward.

This week Unknown is interviewed! Unknown is rank 1 Overall on the Hiscores.

O - Firstly, tell us a little about yourself?

U - I am Thomas, also known as "Soft" for the past 8 years, first time under "Unknown". I live in Denmark and I enjoy skilling.

O - Are you in any sort of education(if so what?) or do you work?

U - I am studying to become a sales assistant for now. Might change it up in a few years.

O - How did you first hear about Alora and what made you decide it was the server for you?

U - I heard about it from one of my friends, we used to play back in the day and I decided to check it out. I didn't like it at first because I found the online store to be OP. I came back after 2 weeks and saw it didn't really ruin the ECO and started my adventure there.

O - And quite the adventure you've had! While playing Runescape or RSPS' has skilling always been your preferred activity?

U - I started out as a PKer back in 09. I heard about this "RSPS" where you could spawn items and just PK with them without any loss. I got bored after few years of PKing and started doing skilling, I've enjoyed it ever since.

O - Any tips for any aspiring skillers wanting to climb the hiscores?

U -Take the time it needs, and don't listen to people that say "Why skill on a RSPS? It's a waste of time" Do what you enjoy.

That concludes our interview for today with Unknown, we wish him the best of luck maintaining rank 1 & his future goals!

My life is falling apart 

(Note to readers, I am currently an uber donator, however the rank is bugged and you have to pay 15 points to cancel a task, so I asked Omicron to move me down to legendary as to allow me to slay without issue for the time being)

 

 

@uTorrent, You're claiming that the larger issue is that players such as myself have achieved uber while only losing ~5-10m per bond. In the end, it probably cost me around 1.5b for uber, and lots of time trying to buy those bonds. Even the slightest change from my set price of 30m per bond, such as paying 31m per bond would result in an extra 250m loss. Please keep that in mind as you continue to read.

 

It would require at a minimum, 7.5b to outright buy the 250 bonds required. As you can see, players like myself are forced to sell mys boxes, and other donor items in order to re-invest back into bonds. This is a much harder process than many people are led to believe (esp when people undercut you 24/7)

 

This is because mystery box prices are determined by the market. The market and economy determine the prices - why is that an issue?

 

• You altering the point cost for mystery boxes does absolutely nothing, the market would adjust accordingly.

 

If it is worth it to get uber (good benefits...), bonds go up in price (and the competition to buy bonds increases, along with a surplus of mystery boxes, mithril seeds, and prayer scrolls into the game as a result (then those items drop in price and the players buying bonds lose more profit)

 

 

Uber was "cheap" for me because I was the first person to fully commit to doing it before I had competition. Players within TNG were purposely holding off from buying bonds so that it wouldn't be as difficult for me to get.

 

----------------------------

 

It's a no brainer, revert it to how it was. All you did was make it so staff have to middleman donations. If you disagree with my post, please quote me or pm me on the forums for a more in depth explanation on basic economics (not meant to be flame). Lastly - the premise of making mystery boxes untradeable still leaves prayer scrolls/mithril seeds as the next item(s) for you to tackle.

 

@Omicron @Jare @uTorrent @Drewsy @NaLoLBooster @Syrinx @Seabound @Fat nerd @Luxury

Ffs, can we not just have it back as it was? 

 

 

 

Sellouts 

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.
