Best of luck to everyone on the list, it's a big commitment to Alora to achieve member of the month, even being on the list to be selected is an achievement! Good luck all

add bandos items to the chest rewards

You put this guide up wicked fast after it got released, good work man

support, but it should require x amount of playtime / forum posts / postcount etc to prevent abuse and to give it some exclusiveness 

The income rate of classic is half of what you get on regular eco.

So at the very least it should be 1:2 if it currently isn't

What measures are in place to prevent player abuse from making numerous accounts to loot bloody key spawns (multiple brand new level 3 accounts)

 

You should add a MAC + IP reader and a total level requirement of 1500+ to loot the keys. @Omicron (forget the MAC / IP if it's only a singular key spawn, but keep the level requirement. Players will just make level 3 accounts and log them out at each spawn location if you don't.

 

You should consider having the keys skull the user(s) looting them, and make it so players cannot protect the key on death. It would prevent people from looting the key, suiciding and keeping it, and also prevent protecting a Bandos item, or an arcane by bringing nothing but the key when looting the chest. This way people won't just bring no items and just suicide loot. We'll see a more active and long lasting result w/ pkers in the areas.

 

Master donor perk could be an instant teleport option to the key's general location as well (possibly 30 seconds after the initial spawn to make it a reasonably fair yet beneficial perk.

This update now skulls users who loot the bloody key chest as well, but they can still logout immediately upon looting the chest. Once a user has looted the chest they should take continual damage (as if they were spamming a hot rock cake) while in the wilderness, this way they remain in combat and the means to escape become critical (they also can't just spam rouge's den castle stairs as they will eventually die to hitsplat damage). You could code the hit-markers to start upon bloody chest looting and have it end once a player is outside of the wilderness. If a player tried to logout inside the wilderness after looting the chest, they will receive a message stating, "You cannot logout until you leave the wilderness!" - It should also be noted that players wouldn't be able to drop the item(s) gained from the chest before they are killed, as they would be in combat. The hit-markers would stack w/ any damage taken from players.

 

The skull given for looting the chest should be a red bountyhunter skull w/ one key above their head, the skull would signify the person has looted the bloody key chest, and that they cannot protect any items, as their +1 protection prayer is disabled until they leave the wilderness.

 

Players would no longer be able to loot and immediately logout when pkers/white dots arrive due to the hit-markers keeping them in combat until they reach safety. This would make the interaction much smoother in terms of risk vs reward and players would begin bringing amour and gear to survive.

 

Another addition would be to have a countdown timer once the chest is clicked in which the user unlocks the chest with their key and has it consumed, and they are able to loot the chest after x amount of time. If the user doesn't loot the chest in x amount of time they lose the unlocked chest and will have to get another key. This would give pkers a chance to get to the area sooner and make the looting process riskier as it would globally announce once a player has unlocked the chest (the player would still be waiting for the chest to be lootable after the global announcement).

 

Post I made when the update first came out 

Runescape gives players 24 hours on a new ironman account to see who can reach the highest total level and the top ranked players receive irl rewards, and in game rewards as well.

Obviously players can max pretty fast on Alora, so the exp rates could be lowered - and adjusting the time to be less than 24 hours considering that's a lot of time investment for a private server KOTS.

This would take some time to code I'm sure, so it's not a priority. It would be nice to have a skilling competition and @Omicron could add in some cool prizes, maybe even $$$ 

Shameless self promotion by tagging @uTorrent to guilt him into setting this up.

Support,

I'd also like an ingame command for ;;profile sheep

Pulls up a users forum profile, and then they can just click it from there. 

It also works well for when you want someone to look at your profile for things like recent drops, about me page, and different recent topics you've posted

Lowkey leaking some nice st00f on disc. Who knows, seems like they already have some plans.

 

 

 

 

@Lowkey was on board with the original suggestion and helped the idea process w/ baseline tasks, and @Omicron was interested as well, he just wanted to figure out the logistics obviously.

Good to see the discord image, it brings hope that it might be coming to alora in the future

Support, esp if this is how it is in osrs

no member of the month

this is already on the main suggestions list @Postimees

support, the benefits are in osrs so I'd like to see them in game. Not entirely sure on the requirements - specifically what ones would be needed though.

Exactly, but you can still get loot if you kill another Classic mode player.

awesome, I look forward to seeing how the economy adapts, both the classics and regular. The swapping rates taking place should be interesting too see as well
