“The main piece of content CoX has been left in this atrocious state for over a month, so we are adding a new donator rank??!”Eternal Donator RankAnyone else notice this new Eternal Donator rank? As far as myself, and many others in the community that I've talked with are aware, this rank was never proposed, polled, or even mentioned to anyone. Everyone I’ve talked with seems to agree that this is a clear cash grab, and honestly, a slap in the face to most of us. Moving on.. What perks could this new donator rank possibly even offer? Any perks that could possibly be offered to match the cost of the rank would be incredibly overpowered and game breaking. The opinion the community holds on donator ranks is already that the highest rank that is worth the cost is uber, so why would anyone in their right mind pay for a potential $20,000 (potentially higher) rank?For an example, look at the drop rate differences from donator ranks… (While this is a very black and white example, it gets the point across that the rank truly doesn’t provide a benefit worth its price) The Corporeal Beast drops the Elysian Sigil at a 1/2697 rate for non-donors. For uber-donators, that is reduced to 1/2552, and for immortal-donators a 1/2370 chance. Estimating that efficient players can get 30 kills per hour, it would save an immortal-donator 10.9 hours when compared to a non-donator. A $10,000 donator rank is theoretically only saving the player approximately 11 hours, more than $900 per hour saved. Think about what master and immortal donators did to the CoX prices.. How much further can we buff drop rates before it gets to be too much?What’s more realistic is that players (if any even tried) would try and buy the rank with in game gold, buying custom transfers. Considering the on-going rate for $100 custom donations is 3b gold, at a 1:4 rate it would cost a single player 150b gold to obtain the rank from scratch. The benefits that this new rank would have to provide the player to be worth the price would have to be so incredibly overpowered that it would break the game in no time at all. Not to mention… how many players could even afford to buy that, maybe 2? Even so, they would likely have to dump their entire banks to afford it.Something myself and a few others in the community have discussed as a better alternative would be paying for rank transfers. We understand that there is a cost of running the server, and the players are willing to do that, but a new donator rank isn’t the best way to go about it. Players being able to pay to transfer their donor ranks from account to account is a service that is much higher in demand than a higher tier donor rank. Not only does this accomplish bringing in more income to keep the server going, it also fills a huge need that the community has been asking for. How many players have left Alora because they wanted to play a new account and didn’t have the option to transfer their rank to a new account? Countless players have offered $100 and more to transfer their ranks, and those same players might come back if this was an option.Lack of communicationTake a look at Oldschool Runescape’s method for development and why the current version of OSRS is a much bigger success than its prior Runescape 2 (pre-eoc). They run 30 question content polls at least once a month, and develop content around the results. If something doesn’t pass their threshold of being approved by the community (75%), they don’t bother implementing it unless they further reach out to the community, ask what changes would need to be made to see the content implemented, and then make said changes. While on Alora, the last major content (content that exceeds the “weekly update” time frame) poll took place in September of 2017. It has been over 3 years since one of these polls were posted. Here is the post for those looking…A development focused on what the players would like to see, rather than what content the developers would like to see. This is the style of development that Alora needs to implement. The players keep Alora alive, and players won’t stay when their thoughts and ideas aren’t being listened to. While Omi can, and should, make decisions for the server that he feels are ultimately the best, he should also take into account the ideas that the community has a strong passion for (ex: reworking Olm and ToB, adding nightmare instances and an overall combat system rework). Releasing content like Castle Wars and LMS are not what the players are asking for, yet they get implemented above all else and before fixing what the players are clearly asking for.Instead of leaving the players, in the dark when it comes to “major” content releases, create development blogs more often. There were 2 back in July and August for the Chambers of Xeric rework, and it was very exciting to see an update like that just around the corner. Knowing what updates are coming and thinking about preparing for those updates always brings back my passion to play because it sets me on a direct path for a cool new piece of content.Maybe development blogs are something that take up too much of Omi’s time, but there are a ton of dedicated players on the staff team that I am sure would be thrilled to help with the process of testing content and putting together a development blog for the community.Side note. What happened to crack the clue?Stupid update delaysThis is one of the things that I will never understand the logic behind... Let's look at the most recent, and probably best example of this. The Chambers of Xeric rework is probably one of the best content updates Alora has seen in a long time; not only is it a good advertisement point, but it is also the cause of many old players returning. While I don’t agree with people saying “cOx iS iMpoSsible” I must admit I don’t see any logic behind delaying crucial bug-fixes, like the scaling of the top floor or the chests randomly disappearing for an entire month.Another good example of this would be a very long time ago, when the skilling interfaces were updated to match OSRS. This update brought a crafting bug, that made the skill impossible to level early on, pretty much rendering the skill unusable for an entire week. Whether the reason is that a server restart would “annoy” players, or rather it was better to simply delay it a week so that the update would look bigger and better. It makes absolutely no logical sense.As a player, all of this makes me feel so unappreciated on the server. To know that cash grabs and flashy update threads are clearly more important than the player’s experience, it truly saddens me.I anticipate all of the discussions this may start, and I look forward to feedback from everyone within the community.
#358998 How to buy/sell custom donations guide
Posted by Cunt Crusher on 12 June 2020 - 08:23 PM
How to buy/sell custom donation
Here's a little guide on how to buy and sell custom donations.
As someone with a high donator rank I've been asked a few times in the past how I got there and replied that I bought custom donations.
A few question came along with that.
Q - What is a custom donation?
A - A custom donation is a donation that goes towards your donator rank or to buy various items through a special shop on the Forums.
Here a list on the available items. https://www.alora.io...ith-osrs-gpbtc/
Q - What perks does Custom donation have towards your donator rank that bonds doesn't have?
A - Custom donations that are higher than $100 USD will count towards your donator rank and also multiply it by 4 .
Example : $100 USD donated will count as $400 USD towars your rank.
Q - How can I buy a custom donation?
A - You need to get in contact with Omicron through the Forums via a private message. (More Details in the "buying custom donations" section.)
Q - Am I allowed to sell custom donations for In game GP?
A- Of course! Whenever you decide to sell a custom donation you'll need to find a buyer and go through formality with Omicron (More details in the "Selling custom donations" section.)
Buying custom donations.
To start buying a custom donation, you will need to create a conversation with Omicron on the Forums.
https://gyazo.com/c0a44d407419c773bdcd04d231605cb2
The following message should have :
- The total amount of donation you're wishing to buy
- What the donation will be towards (Donator rank or items.)
Omicron will then send you a link with all the options available. You can also do ;;payment in game to access the custom donations options. (If you don't find the amount that you want you can add multiples options)
Example: For a $250, add $200 and $50 for your total.
After completing your transaction, you will then need to provide a proof of the transaction being completed.
- The receipt you receive once you've completed your payment will be your proof.
Omicron will then confirm that the transaction have been completed on his side and Voila, you have bought a custom donation!
Side note, you can also buy custom donations from other players. (More details in “selling a custom donation.”)
Selling a custom donation.
To start the process of selling your custom donation, you will need to start advertising it either in game, through the Official Alora Discord in #Market or in the Market section in the forum.
Once you find a buyer, you will also need to find a Middle man (staff member.)
The job of the Middleman is to collect the payment of the buyer and hold on to it until Omicron confirmed that the custom donation have been transferred to the buyer. (More information below.)
Once the buyer and the Middleman have been found, you will need to create a Forum pm including Omicron, the Buyer, the Middle man and Your self called "Selling custom donation."
(Side note, If you haven't bought the custom donation you have to do so before completing the sale. More information in "Buying a custom donation.")
In the forum pm Including Omicron, the Buyer, The Middleman and your self, you will specify that the custom donation is sold to (Buyer's name) for (Amount of alora gp or items.)
The Middleman will then confirm that the Buyer's payment have been made with a screenshot of the transaction.
The buyer will then confirm that the custom donation will be going either to his donator rank or buying an item in the custom forum store. (More information in the "Questions/Answers part of the topic.)
Once Omicron confirms that the custom donation has been transferred to the buyer, the Middleman will then give you the buyer's payment in game and Voila, you have sold a custom donation!
*DISCLAIMER*
Omicron is the only person who is allowed to monetary profit from Selling/Buying custom donation. Any failure to do so will result in a punishment for the Buyer or the Seller. (More information in the Rules section of the forum, Article 3 of In-Game rules)
https://www.alora.io/forums/topic/26642-alora-official-rules/#entry345262
Thank you very much for reading my guide and I hope I helped a few person and new member of our community with this guide.
Every feedback is appreciated to help this guide to be as accurate as possible.
Best regards, Alex.

#341927 Update The Bank of Alora.
Posted by Mafiabae on 10 March 2020 - 02:09 PM
What is your suggestion?:
Alright let's Dig in to this, The Bank of Alora was recently updated with the new withdraw system and also added a few new features BUT many of them are still left out.
I would like to see the Bank of Alora to be updated to match OSRS, where they have bank fillers, Incinerator, More bank space for having a bank pin and even more if you have An authenticator setup.
so how about we get some of the above mentioned Updates to our bank?
AND CAN WE PLEASE GET THIS FIXED?
Talking about the Release option being the first, add "Examine" above it so we don't mess our banks up.
Edit#1 Add placeholders for these items, Ancient Wyvern shield, dragon fireward, dragon fireshield, and all of the Crystal weapons.
Is this in OSRS?:
YES, https://oldschool.ru...ape.wiki/w/Bank
Has this suggestion been accepted already?:
Not that i could find.
How would this benefit Alora?:
First of all we get some more useability of the bank, where as we can organize it easier with bankfillers, we have a little more motivation to set-up authenticator and bank-pin.

Ultistic on 19 February 2020 - 01:27 PMHello everyone! I'll try not to write a book about my return as CM. After taking home all the prizes in the most recent GIM tournament I am ready to return..
First of all, I want to say thank you to Omicron for allowing me to come back as CM. Some of you may not know that I left about 2 months ago to deal with personal and my IRL situation. I feel confident in saying that I am in a much better state of mind and everything has returned to about as normal as it can be.
I plan to be involved with the community and staff team as much as I was prior to my leaving. It feels good to be back on the team and to continue something we started 3 years ago. See you in-game!
With that being said we have a HUGE Staff Update that includes a ton of old faces you may have seen on the team before. Welcome back everyone and here is the update:

#335707 Scythe of Vitur Fixes
Posted by
Classic on 06 February 2020 - 09:40 PMWhat is your suggestion?:Fix the options for attack styles with Scythe of Vitur. Currently our scythe of vitur has 3 options where as on OSRS it has 4 different options and with the NEW BIS strength armour coming out in OSRS its only time before it comes out on Alora. The new inquisitor armour on OSRS is now BIS melee with scythe on crush and we do not have a crush option and it would be nice to have the same scythe of vitur which is on OSRS. Here is a comparison of Alora to OSRS scythe options.
Is this in OSRS?: Yes
Has this suggestion been accepted already?: I dont believe so
How would this benefit Alora?: This would benefit Alora because it would bring it closer to OSRS and give the scythe more options to attack with.
