Hey guys, 

 

This update is intended to hold things down while we finalize work on the Inferno, which should be available in Alora in the very near future! Some highly request bug fixes have been implemented, as well as an interesting new Killcount milestone system which boosts NPC drop rates when you hit certain milestones. 

 

 

 

 

Updates:

• Fixed NPC spawning issue:
  • Some NPCs weren’t spawning in instances in mini-games. This should no longer happen.
• Killcount Milestone Bonuses:
  • Thanks to @Jare for the idea!
  • To make your endless PVMing experience more enjoyable, we’ve added a new system to give you a bonus when you reach PvM milestones!
    • For example, when reaching 100 kills for Corporeal beast, that drop will have a 5% better chance at loot. On your 500th kill you’ll have a 25% better chance. This % caps out at 33%, so after you’ve reached the 750 milestone it’ll always be 33% increased chance.
      • Example:
        • This means that if an Elysian spirit shield is 1/450 chance, on a milestone kill it’ll be 1/297 instead, making it considerably more obtainable.
      • An in-game notification will tell you when this increased drop rate takes place.
        • You’ll see a purple message that says something like“Your rare loot chance has been increased by 12.5% for your 250th Zulrah kill!”
      • This happens at 100 kills, and every 250 thereafter
        • (eg. 250, 500, 750, 1000, etc)
      • Formula = (killcount / 20) || 33.3%
        • Whichever of these is lower will be used.
      • This is similar to the permanent Uber donator drop rate boost of 7%, which also stacks with this.
• Void equipment changes:
  • Buy-back price cut in half
• Corporeal beast core fixes:
  • Dark cores will now de spawn when corp dies.
  • Dark core animations/bonuses fixed.
• Drop rate changes:
  • It should no longer be possible to get two unique drops (Eg. Two Dagannoth rings) in one drop.
  • Additionally, it is now possible to obtain more than two drops from a boss.
• Login screen “Last logged in X days ago” added.
  • We’ve removed the “You are logged in from IP / MAC” as some video-makers were forgetting to blur this out in their videos, and it is not necessary for most people anyway.
    • In it’s place, we’ve added the “You last logged in X days ago” function which will show you how long it has been since you’ve logged into the game
• Duel arena fixes:
  • If you stake any item that you don’t have room for (eg. You’re holding 2.1b in your inventory and win 200m), the winnings will be added to your bank if possible. If not possible, the winnings will be dropped on the ground.
    • Messages will be sent to notify you if the winnings could not be added to your inventory, and whether they were banked or dropped.
  • Forfeit death bug fixed:
    • A bug has been fixed which caused a player to die and lose their items if they forfeited at the exact moment they take the final hit. It was a rare bug that only happened under unique circumstances, but a necessary fix nonetheless.
• Background updates:
  • Major performance improvements across the board
    • Less CPU/Memory usage which lead to increased stability have been applied.
• Trading post fixes:
  • Mostly performance enhancements to put less stress on the server, but also a bug fixed when refreshing search results for a player search which would show incorrect search results.
• Miscellaneous:
  • Dragon defender (or) is no longer stackable.
    • This means that it can be bought back from the Lost items manager.
  • Fixed bug that made it possible to pickpocket NPCs more quickly than usual.
  • Fixed misc. bug with cannons
  • ::discord command fixed — link was expired.
  • Staff command update:
    • ::steleto will no longer be silent if teleporting to an administrator.
• Fixed Quick-prayer bug:
  • After dying (or entering an area where your prayers are automatically turned off), you would have to click twice to turn your quick-prayers back on. This has been fixed so that you must only click once as intended.
• Giant mole killcount and kill time will now be recorded.
  • They’ll also show up on the boss PvM records lectern at home.
• Snakeskin crafting:
  • Snakeskin (obtained by killing Zulrah) can now be crafted into different items!
    • Using a needle on a piece of Snakeskin(while having thread in your inventory) will allow you to craft:
      • Snakeskin body, chaps, vambraces, bandana or boots.
        • NOTE: In the GIF below, the wrong amount of required Snakeskins is shown for testing purposes. On the live game, it is matched to OSRS. You need a whopping 15 snakeskins to create just the body.
• Miscellaneous:
  • Item fixes:
    • The Scythe is now tradable.
    • Banshee set and Hunting knife configurations added (and made tradable).
  • Fixed object clipping issue:
    • Eg. Energy barriers at home could not be walked through. Not sure which other objects this affected, but the bug has been entirely fixed.
• Free-To-Play Shop has been added
  • To assist in gearing for F2P Battle Royale events, you can now access the F2P shop which is located in the shop area and accessed by trading Oziach and contains:
    • Full rune, Fancy boots, Fighting boots, Rune scimitar, Rune battle axe, Rune 2H, Full green d'hide, Amulet of strength & Amulet of power, Coif, Swordfish, Lobster, Normal strength potion, Adamant arrows, Maple shortbow
      • Although most of these items can be bought from other shops, it makes things easier to place them all together. Also, the Fighting boots and Fancy boots are new to Alora and can only be obtained from this shop.

I would love to see Hunter being reworked. Construction would be AMAZING to see.

Hey guys,

 

I'm going to be running a poll for 1 week to find out what you guys want to see in future updates. If you do happen to vote for something can you please give a brief example or even ideas of what you would like to see, Omicron and I will be visiting this poll throughout the week and gathering ideas from the community. Please take your time and vote and have a chance to be heard!

 

I'm not going to add bug fixes to the list as those are done weekly when new updates are released.

 

Regards,

 

Lowkey

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!

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!
