Petition to rename Brother Lowkey to Bald Eagle in his memory!

 

Had the pleasure of being in vc with lowkey a few times during leagues. He one funny man, will def be missed.

Hello everyone,
 
I have some bittersweet news to share with you all today. As of a few weeks ago, @Lowkey has no longer been the community manager of Alora. I regret to inform everyone that he will no longer be managing the community due to a lack of time IRL, and we fully support him in his effort to prioritize his family time and professional career. This will undoubtedly be a big loss for Alora, as Jay has been a part of this thing from the very first day (even before we opened our doors) and is a big part of why Alora is where it is today, and we still have plenty of love and respect for him for the time he has spent with us. Needless to say, we'll always have a spot for him on the team should he ever want to return. With that being said, we wish him all the best on his future endeavours, and hope to still see him around every now and then.
 
On the other side of the coin, we're glad to be able to announce that a very well-seasoned staff member, one that you've all come to know and love, will be stepping in to fill Jay's shoes. They're big shoes to fill, and although we can never truly replace him, we are confident that @Moe will do a great job of managing the community and the staff team, as he has already proven himself as Event manager and is another huge part of Alora's success.
 
Best Regards,
Omicron & The Alora Staff Team

About 25 attempts with different strats / gear, it has finally comes to an end.

Easily one of the hardest pvm achievement ive ever done.

 
Hello everyone,
 
Alora's 2nd round of Leagues is officially concluded! That brings with it the many new rewards that you've been patiently waiting for, along with a few content updates and bug fixes while we work on finishing the Ancient Prison where you'll soon be able to fight Nex. We've also made a few store changes, including a new Bank expansion scroll that can provide 100 permanent extra bank spaces for players who are running low, and will stack with donator rank / 2FA bank space increases! Lastly, we've applied a few QoL updates and bug fixes, check them out below:

• League transfers:
  • League points, donator ranks (total spent) and store tokens have all been transferred to the main account that you linked at the start of the league.
• League Trophies:
  • Players who have participated in the most recent League will be awarded with trophies based on the amount of points they’ve earned.
    • The trophies will be added to the main account that the player listed when creating their league account.
      • The order of the trophies is as follows:
        • Dragon Trophy: 25,000+ points
        • Rune Trophy:  16,000+ points
        • Adamant Trophy: 12,000+ points
        • Mithril Trophy: 8,000+ points
        • Steel Trophy: 4,000+ points
        • Iron Trophy: 1,000+ points
        • Bronze Trophy: 100+ points
• League Shop Updates:
  • The League shop has been updated with some new items that players can purchase using their league points.
    • The following items have been added:
      • Shattered Banner: 500 League points
      • Shattered Relic Hunter T1 set: 750 League points
      • Shattered Relic Hunter T2 set: 2,000 League points
      • Shattered Relic Hunter T3 set: 4,000 League points
      • Shattered Relic Void Ornament Kit: 400 League points
        • Each kit can be used on 1 void piece to ornament it.
      • Shattered Relic Cannon Ornament Kit: 3,000 League points
        • 1 Kit is required to be used on a full cannon (base, furnace, barrels, stand) to create the ornamented cannon.
      • Shattered Relic weapon kit: 1000 League points
        • Each kit can be used on a Rune crossbow, Abyssal Whip, Abyssal tentacle, or any god book.
      • Shattered Cane: 500 League points
      • Shattered Relic Mystic Ornament Kit: 250 League points
        • Each kit will ornament 1 piece of regular (blue) mystic equipment.

• Store updates:
  • Purchasing the Tome of Fire from the store will now make it come loaded with 1,000 charges.
    • The text on the store has been updated to reflect this.
  • Bank expansion scroll:
    • Players can now purchase a scroll from the store that can add an extra +100 bank spaces regardless of your donator rank, up to a maximum of 1,100 spaces if you are an Eternal donator.
      • The cost of this scroll is 750 tokens.
      • The scroll can only be used once on an account, and is tradable.
      • It is worth noting that Eternal donators who use this scroll will max out at 1,100 spaces, and will not get the extra 16 slots that enabling 2FA would provide. All other ranks will have the +16 stack with the +100 slots for a total of +116 slots above their rank maximum.
  • Top donators:
    • A list of the top 5 donators this month (past 30 days) will now be shown on the left-hand side.
  • Visual changes:
    • The store has been given a slight facelift, with a few icons added for the different item categories, and some other visual improvements.

• Forum updates:
  • Players' total level will now be shown on the sidebar when they post on the forums.
    • If you hover over this total level, you can also see a player's total experience.

• Loot beams style:
  • Loot beams have been updated to match the new OSRS loot beam style.
    • These will be automatically updated for players, but the old style (taken from CoX chest lights) is still available under the "Ground Items" plugin as the "Light" loot beam setting.
• Boss time records reset:
  • Due to League players having some enhanced combat speeds, we've reset the kill time records for the following bosses/raids that were affected:
    • Chambers of Xeric, Alchemical Hydra, Skotizo and Sarachnis
• Shortest Path Plugin:
  • The Shortest Path Plugin has been moved from the Plugin hub to the main plugin panel.
    • Players can use to plugin by right clicking on their opened World Map, and setting a target,
      • This plugin will then highlight the shortest path to that point, if possible.
• Tithe Farm Instances:
  • Players will now automatically be placed into a Tithe farm instance if there are already 2 players in the main Tithe Farm area.
    • The max time players can spend in these instances is 1 hour.
• Bracelet of Ethereum changes:
  • Players can now uncharge the Bracelet of Ethereum to retrieve their ether from the bracelet.
    • Once uncharged, the bracelet will revert to the uncharged version.
      • Players can dismantle this uncharged version to obtain 250 Revenant ether.
  • The Revenant Ether in a player’s bracelet will now drop to the ground upon death.
    • This means players can now lose this ether when they are killed by another player.
• Alchemy Spell Changes:
  • Players can now queue up a low/high alchemy spell cast.
    • Previously when players casted an alchemy spell too soon before previously casting another spell then it would just ignore the action.
      • It will now queue the action so that after the appropriate delay it will re-attempt to cast the spell.
  • Alchemy spells will no longer block some actions right after casting the spell.
    • On OSRS players can freely do most actions while aching, so we’ve removed some restrictions to match that.
  • Casting an Alchemy spell will now end combat.
• Quality of Life:
  • The Ground items plugin now has an option to select the “Modern” type of Lootbeam.
  • The opened herb sack/seed box/gem bag will now go to the reclaimable shop upon death.
  • The runelite hiscore plugin will now properly show the player's total experience when being looked up.
  • Players can now use empty vials on fishing spots in the Gauntlet to fill the vials.
  • Players now have an option to disable the System tray icon through their Runelite Configurations.
  • Players now have an option to set the Notification timeout through their Runelite Configurations.
  • The Tile indicators plugin now allows players to select a fill color, and border width for the destination/hover/current tile.
• Fixes:
  • Oddskull can now be equipped with proper animations (custom donation item).
  • Fixed a bug where the farmers blessing sometimes wouldn’t properly select the option if the player had previously opened the max monkey selection interface.
  • The warriors guild master clue scroll step will now recognize the Dragon Defender (or) as a dragon defender.
  • Added dark totem top to the Skotizo drop table.
  • Fixed a bug where players could plant regular cactus seeds to complete the "Plant 3 potato cactus plants" achievement in the Kourend achievement diary.
  • Fixed a bug where Nechryarch's would not drop totem pieces when killed in the Catacombs.
  • Players will now have 1 tick of immunity from being stunned after being hit by the dragon spear/zamorakian hasta special attacks.
  • Fixed a typo in the Karamja diary perks that made it seem like all Tzhaar shops had the Karamja glove discount, when it's only the Tzhaar rune shop.
  • Maniacle monkeys no longer count towards the men slayer tasks.
  • Fixed a bug where players could not attack slayer NPC's if they reached the slayer level requirement by boosting their level.
  • Fixed a bug where some max capes were not applying the cooking skill cape perk.
  • Players can now switch to the Arceuus spellbook when using the spellbook swap spell.
  • Fixed a bug where players would require 51/101 ores to be collected from blast mine for the League tasks to be completed.
  • Added placeholders for the Digsite pendants.
  • Revenant Pyrefiends will now drop Bloody keys as intended.
  • Players can no longer set their in-game title to a color that is white (or very close to white).
    • When titles are set to white, it is difficult to see the difference between a player's title and username when you right-click (because usernames are white).
  • Players can no longer place a cannon in the Forthos dungeon.
  • Players can no longer use items on other players while in the Wilderness.
  • Twisted League Players can now be assigned Hill Giants from Konar.
  • Players are now required to have level 29 Agility to use the first rock shortcut to climb mount karuulm, and level 62 Agility to use the second shortcut.
  • Players can now deposit items into their looting bag at the Ferox enclave.
  • Added the shrimp/lobster/shark fishing spots near land's end.
  • Twisted league players will now obtain the Kodai wand from Chambers of Xeric, rather than the Kodai Insignia.
    • Any player who has already received a Kodai insignia will have it turned into a Kodai wand upon login.
  • Fixed a bug where players could sometimes not use an item on a wardrobe in their costume room to store it.
  • Fixed a bug where Broad arrows had 0 ranged strength.
  • Fixed a bug where the Xeric’s Resilience relic would reduce incoming damage in all cases except for when the npc hit their max hit.
  • Fixed a bug where players could not login to their runelite accounts through the client.
  • Fixed a bug where the sand grinding npc, also named, Hosa, would offer the vial smash/arrow collection options, instead of the normal sandstone grinding options.
  • Players can now use weapon poison on dragon spears.
  • Fixed a bug where the giants den in the Catacombs of Kourend was not being recognized as part of Zeah

 

 
 
We hope you enjoy this update, and we're looking forward to bringing Nex to Alora very soon! As always, please report any bugs as soon as possible :)

Omicron & Chad

There has been no Alora info dump, there is a fake database leak where the hacker used people's information from other servers & attempted it here and compiled a list. We've warned players multiple times to not use the same username/password here that you would use on another server (multiple announcements). If you do, at least have 2FA on your account so if the other server database gets leaked you don't get hacked here.

I'm certain there has been an alora dump (probably 2, around 2018-late 2019) - I've been confronted with the information by hackers themselves whilst I was still an admin. There's almost always going to be leaks, use unique passwords & have 2fa - will keep your account(s) safe! 

@Mack @Sassa fras @Extremedanny

It's completely understandable that players want a method to obtain the ornament kits for the Slayer helmets in-game, and we will be adding a way to do that in the future as well. It likely won't be through Combat achievements though, due to the differences between Alora and OSRS. We have a few ideas for how to introduce them into the game, and we'll share that likely in the next full update.

It's more-so an early release for those who support Alora, especially as the game matures and players aren't donating for items as much anymore, so we have to find ways to rejuvenate the store in order to maintain the same level of updates, marketing and quality of the game. With that being said, we have opted for adding cosmetic items which don't tend to negatively affect players, rather than releasing end-game items into the store. For those who want to earn the items in-game, if you want them right away, they are tradable and can be purchased from another player or via buying bonds, or there will be a method to obtain them in-game without the store in the near future if you're willing to wait a bit for it.

@Real Alan
As for the discounts on items, since we're doing a total spent bonus this time around (for the first time) and store items already become cheaper because of the 25% bonus, we decided to not put individual discounts on items. That doesn't mean that discounts are not going to be there for future sales, we've just decided to provide a different bonus (total spent) this time around.

Hope that clears things up for you guys and gives you a better perspective on our though process behind the updates.

Alot of QoL updates in this one. 

 

With the slayer helmets. I feel like they should be more of a grind based reward. Rather than a token only reward.

Atleast them being only available for a limited time might make it so people buying it now. Might end up buying it for early bragging rights and become an achieveable reward through playing the game in future.

 

Really good update overal QoL life wise, just a really sour taste about the slayer helmets.

My 4.6b Hardcore End

Just a quick little PC crash is all it took >.<

 

 

But with that being said the journey of this Hardcore has come to an end. Honestly speaking i did not get too upset about it, if anything i have been talking about not wanting to

be a Hardcore Account for a while now. I figured it be stupid to just kill the account or de-iron without it happening naturally. Got to a point where

this boredom helped me build up enough courage to do 1 of 2 contents i refused to do for such a long period of time (exception to wilderness) was Corp & Nightmare.

Only thing that's mildly upsetting is that i died to a out of game situation like most Hardcores and not to something i "messed up" ingame and can accept lightly but best

to not let it bother me since i have already been past the point of having not much left to do.

 

Thank you to all those that have supported me throughout my Hardcore journey. I wish i can list all the names that have been lots of you out there and you know who you are

I will still be playing, this does not demotivate me hope to see you all around! Enjoy all the pictures below of my pre-death experience!
