In a short paragraph, please explain why you feel you deserve the rank you're applying for. - I am an OG player, i created Dzelzs 890+ days ago (thats my ironman), and my normal account age is 1k+ days I like answering questions on cc to help someone out. Becouse we all have been there, when you start you know almoust nothing, so i like to help out players with answers

https://imgur.com/a/XB6hHo4   - My main who i started playing Alora on! I think this is almoust from Alora release

This is a challenge I'm sure the staff team has already been discussing, and it's something that I've heard many players talking about: It is undeniable that Alora is slowly losing playercount. I don't necessarily think the situation is as grave as you think, because growth is almost expected to stagnate as the server approaches its 3 year birthday...but it's something that will need to be addressed soon. I don't really buy the lower player count is due to "oh, it's no longer summer" and "Classic WoW/Call of Duty/whatever new game is being released"... the quality of competition from other servers has increased.  I won't address the forums activity point even though I  agree with you, since a decrease in game activity usually correlates with a decrease in forums activity.  Take a look at the number of people commenting on game/staff update threads, participating in event sign-ups, etc. compared to six months/one year ago.

 

These are my opinions on a variety of suggestions I've seen, take these with a grain of salt.

 

Need to be fixed:

- Improving existing content/eliminating bugs: Alora has a massive amount of content, plain and simple.  We are usually the first server to have a newly released boss/quest/etc., but this is usually as the expense of a well-coded, interactive update. I'm sure many existing players leave because suggestions to fix long-standing problems aren't addressed with the same priority as releasing new content. Where is the Raids rework? Expanded achievements? Runelite-esque plug-ins? COSTUME ROOM FIXES (I kid....somewhat)?

-"Account has been disabled"/login problems for new players: I don't think there's a more effective way to immediately lose a potential new player. I REALLY hope this will be/has been fixed.

-Lack of PvP activity/clans: Alora has been primarily a PvM/ironman server, but even in the past we would have a couple strong clans out there in wildy. This is out of my area of knowledge, but there have been a variety of PVP improvements that have been suggested in the past by experienced PvPers.... and also, what happened to the idea of implementing Deadman Mode a while back? While gimmicky, that could have brought some PvP attention to Alora.

-Punishment system is too harsh: I think the staff team (in the past, myself included) have been a little too harsh on certain infractions. This hasn't affected a significant number of players, but I'm sure a number of passionate players who have been perm muted/banned on their main accounts for "soft" reasons just decide to leave Alora and join another server.

 

Commonly suggested, but don't need to be fixed:

- Eco reset: Just no.

- Adding more content: Alora has the most amount of content out there... quantity has never been the problem.

- More frequent/higher quality events: There are multiple events on FIVE (!) out of seven days a week, with larger monthly/bimonthly competitions with large prizes. We have the best event man in the business. Maybe a few more PvP events are needed, but there are plenty of times when not enough people sign up for them and KP has to cancel (this ties back into the lack of PvP activity).

- More advertising/higher quality marketing to get the word out: Almost everyone involved in the RSPS scene probably already knows about Alora. It's been at the top for literal years now.

So the thing is I don't hack down on the Staffteam or Omicron they are doing a great job. 

 

But I kinda get the feeling that something has to change, I dont have the numbers of how many players there used to be online at most hours but it definietly feels like the player count has drop a fair bit.

 

Now this surely have several different factors such as OSRS, Classic WoW etc...

 

But I would have gussed they would not have made such a big impact since OSRS have been around for a long time and the hype around Classic WoW has died down atleast a bit.

So my suggestion would be to atleast think about maybe changing things to get more players and most importanly more active players because of how it is now it feels like the server has a playerbase usualy around 200 players on at most times but I atleast get the feeling that most of them are either AFK or just inactive. This also goes for the forum sure it might see activity from people seeing guides or some writing posts and topics but not as much as the playercount would suggest. Ofcourse you can't force players to use the forums and alike but maybe trying to get more activity on here wouldn't hurt the server/forums.

 

So my suggestion is that there needs to be some kind of change either a "restart" of the server with cleaned eco etc etc. (Most likely not since the players with wealth or achivments on the several ironmen modes would be opposed to this kind of "radical" change since they myself included have worked to get to the point that they are currently at).

 

Another thing could be to try and market the server more and try and get a more active playerbase and with that a bigger playerbase (not saying its small at the moment but I think it could also be alot bigger).

 

Now this is just my suggestions and if you have anything to fill in with comment it down bellow on this post and I will make a section of your suggestions added to this "list". 

 

The main goal with this was just to start getting a discussion started about from my point of view a "problem".

 

Because as it is currently around 19:30 GMT 0 and there is around 400 players on.

 

Yes this might just be my view of things and I may be completely wrong, and the this is actually not a problem for the majority of the players but I atleast wanted to voice my concerns.

And again this is nothing against the Staffteam or Omicron this is just something I thought about and since I like the server I would love to see it prosper even more.

Hey guys, I've been on the staff team since 16th Feb '18, but now it's time that I step down as an Administrator. The reason for the resignation is pretty straightforward: I'm entering my last year of med school before I graduate and I feel that as of now, I need to make the best of this last year for my future practice. As such, I won't be able to prioritise Alora over other activities as I've done since I joined the team. I'll definitely still be around in the community, in all of it's forms. 

 

Big shoutout to the staff team, with MOST of it's past & all current members but, a special acknowledgement of @king purple , @Fenrir, @Mack, @God & yes, even you @Paine, wouldn't have lasted this long without you guys and others like you.

 

 

See you guys around,
