Hello, Gamers!

 

We are slowly creeping towards our 4th Year Anniversary for Alora!

 

Alora officially went live on November 4th, 2016. I've personally been around since the start of Alora and can say I'm happy with what it has turned into over the years. I want to thank everyone that's been involved with Alora even if you just started yesterday. You guys have kept the server going strong since the start and words can't express how thankful we are for all of you.

 

Big shoutout to Omicron, Staff Team, and most importantly the community for keeping Alora going for nearly 4 years.

 

Similar to last year, we will be hosting a giveaway on top of the drop party we will be having. For everyone who leaves a like on this topic, you will be entered to win 1 Cosmetic/Ultimate mbox each! Only 1 entry per person as we will be checking (no liking on multiple accounts, they will NOT count and all of your accounts will be disqualified). There will be 5 total winners so everyone that likes the topic will be put into a random number generator and rolled, if it lands on your number, you will win the prize. Best of luck to everyone!

 

One last thing before the drop party details are explained below. Champ has created a forum award for donators towards the drop party. If you donate 100m+ you will be eligible to receive the forum award.

Hardcore Completionist Monkey Bank Progress

 

I don't want to make a list of names that i want to shout out because i'm afraid ill forget somebody and hurt their feelings but i can confidently say this would havenot been possible without the

efforts and encouragement from my clan mates @DynastyClan 

Thank you to everybody who supported me!

 

Very nice progress dude. Good luck on tbow hunt.

That's a great progress bro :)

 

Gl on the tbow grind

Great progress man. Just need the dam bow for the collection log! Congrats on the monkey

Nice cox logs mate, gz on gains!

Hoping you get that tbow soon! Keep it up!

Grats on the monkey! Hard work pays off!

Progress is looking great, good luck with the 200m slayer, TOB and the tbow.

Very nice progress, looking forward to seeing more in the future. And good luck on the twisted bow. :)

Awesome gains and congrats on the monkey. You'll get the tbow eventually, good luck!

I'm also known as omega312, I had a name change recently. These are all my drops all the way until my Tbow today. I was 35 raids dry at cox, and i decided to throw in my p scroll in the well as a sacrifice to omicron in hopes of breaking the streak.

This month we will be interviewing EIM Zarox, as well as Setup. We also have a special interview for you to enjoy!

 

Let's start off with EIM Zarox...

 

A: What's your daily routine look like and can you tell us the secret to being this special?

EIM Zarox: My daily routine is pretty basic, I wake up at around 10 AM, I yell at the top of my lung "#ICE ON MY CHEST BABY", brush my teeth then I browse the Baby Yoda subreddit for like, 3-6 hours, then I hop on Alora for my daily 10 minutes of playtime & then I watch The Walking Dead until I go to bed. The secret to being this special? I don't know what makes me this awesome and sexy and beautiful and tall and loveable, I really can't tell you.

 

A: How many HCIM's have you burned through already?

EIM Zarox: Surprisingly, only 3. SkyCream73, whom perished at Kourend catacombs' Nechryaels, HCIM Zarox, a ratherr unknown account, which I suicided on, then there's the well-known, CreamySky73, who died at Vorkath, due to a DC. Currently working on yet another hardcore, "KreamyScy73" And I have a feeling he'll surpass CreamySky73 in no time.

 

A: What caused you to become so obsessed with Baby Yoda? I'm sure we are all dying to know.

EIM Zarox: Pretty sure it all started off with a girl showing me a Baby Yoda meme, and I was rather impressed with the small hecker, and ever since that day, I've been in love. (With Baby Yoda)

 

A: What is one of your accomplishments you're most proud of?

EIM Zarox: I have 100%'d The Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+ on all 3 save files.

 

A: What is the dumbest way you’ve been injured?

EIM Zarox: At around 4 years old, I decided I'd climb our bookshelf, now this was a rather old bookshelf, so it was rather unstable, half way up, the bookshelf said yeet and it fell. My parents thought I was dead, as I was completely quiet, buried underneath 100+ kilos of books, but I left with a few scrapes and a sprained ankle.

 

A: If you were to become an animal, which one would you want to be and why?

EIM Zarox: A Zonkey. They're a big mistake, and I think that fits me pretty well.

 

A: If someone was to write a biography about you, what do you think the title would be?

EIM Zarox: Sonos - The biggest degenerate.

 

Next up, Setup!

 

A: How many guides have you created so far? Which would you say is your favorite?

Setup: So far, I have created 5 guides for Alora. Personally, I find the Monster Guides Directory to be one of my favorites. It took a little while to make, however i believe it was worth it.

 

A: What is something you think everyone should do at least once in their lives?

Setup: This is an interesting question. I think everyone should do anything that they want to do at least once. Of course there are limits to what we can do, but everyone should enjoy themselves. I don’t have anything specific anyone should do, however people should do things they dream of.

 

A: What is the luckiest thing that has happened to you?

Setup: Although it is very simple and small, the luckiest thing that has happened to me was the moment I became an uncle. I think it’s cool to be an uncle to my brother’s kids and I’ve wanted to be that special to a kid’s life.

 

A:  If you died today, what would your greatest achievement be?

Setup: If i had died today, I believe my greatest achievement would be becoming more independent. Although I’m still young, I have always wanted to become a more independent person. Recently, I’ve had the opportunity to become more independent, paying things on my own, and getting to do the things i’ve always wanted to do.

 

A: What are the best and worst purchases you’ve ever made?

Setup: Best purchase - my 4K monitor, worst purchase - a Pornhub subscription.

 

A: If you were given $10,000, what would you do with it?

Setup: If i was given $10K, i would more than likely try to start a streaming career. Even though it is very unlikely to take off and make it into a career, I still think it would be a lot of fun to start streaming while playing my favorite games.

 

A: If you were lost in a forest, what two items would you want with you?

Setup: An axe and tinderbox  .

 

Now for our surprise interview, Omicron!

 

A: I know you've been working in the RSPS scene for some time now, what is your favorite era of Runescape and why? Do you have any specific memories that come to mind when you think on your days of playing?

Omicron: I'd have to say between 2005-2007. I remember when I first started playing in 2005 after finding RuneScape on Miniclip, my IRL friends and I all had our own tasks. One of them would cook trout for us, another was responsible for making iron swords and equipment. We'd go into the wilderness together and get absolutely obliterated, but we had the most fun while we did it. Those were simpler times, we didn't care about efficiency and we had no idea what we were doing. I also have fond memories of finally completing the Desert Treasure quest on my own in ~2007, and not so fond memories of getting lured into the wilderness for everything I'd worked so hard for in 2006.

 

A: If you had to insert Lowkey/Jay into a movie title, what would it be? (ie. Beauty and the Bald, Definitely Balding, etc.)

Omicron: The Good, The Bad, and The Balding

 

A: Do you have any plans / goals for Alora’s future?

Omicron: Of course! I'm ecstatic to share something with you guys in a few days that we've been working on for a few months, and that I believe will be a real game changer for Alora. That's all I can say for now!

 

A: What does your daily routine look like?

Omicron: At the moment, it's pretty unexciting due to the quarantine, which I'm sure most of you can identify with. A lot of time spent at the computer programming, and when I'm not doing so I try to go for walks or do a workout at home so I don't lose my sanity. Nonetheless, it gives us all more time to be on Alora, so let's make the most of it!  

 

A: Does pineapple belong on Pizza? 

Omicron: Absolutely. Pineapple is the key to a perfectly balanced pizza. Throw in some jalapeños as well if you're feeling daring.

 

A: If you could meet anyone in the world (dead or alive) who would it be and why?

Omicron: I'm inclined towards wanting to meet someone who's involved in a mystery/conspiracy. Perhaps the creator of Bitcoin, or D.B Cooper. I think it'd be cool to know if these people are still alive, and ask them some questions about their motives.

 

A: What kind of music do you listen to? Any favorite songs?

Omicron: I listen to many different genres. Hip hop, rap, indie/alternative, R&B, etc. I most recently added country music to the list after a trip to Alabama to meet some Alora players and staff members, and I have to give a shoutout to their anthem: Dixieland Delight.

 

A: If you could travel anywhere in the world? Where would it be and why?

Omicron: I think that it would be cool to visit Australia some day. It's quite far away, but the weather seems beautiful and it'd be interesting to see how they live down under.

 

 

That concludes our interviews for the month, we hope that you've enjoyed them! Although... pineapple on pizza? Interesting.

That concludes this month’s edition of the Alora Newspaper!

You can read the previous edition by clicking here.

Finally got the right mutagen!

 

The concept of this topic was made in collaboration with the amazing Hassia

 

Greetings there player of

Before you scroll down

Take a moment to mentally prepare yourself

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pre-grind prep

 

You can't stay on Your grind if You don't put You first

 

 

 

Eat healthy

 

A healthy diet requires a variety of food.

In a shocking survey, the majority of Alora players admitted to eating nothing but fish!

 

Stop eating this

 

Start eating this

 

No more supplements

 

And for the love of god

No more doping

 

 

 

 

Exercise

 

With the diet down, you're ready to take on the world with new-found energy

The Alora staff team has recommended at least 10 minutes of Puro~Puro or 10 laps of Agility per day.

 

Long term bank standing is one of the most common causes of back pain and sore feet in Alora

If you recognize these symptoms, it's about time you changed your lifestyle!

 

 

 

Here's something that will really whip  you into shape

                                            

An exclusive sneak peek on the upcoming update of the "Daily Task" system
 

Warning: the Saitama daily tasks may cause baldness (doesn't apply to Lowkey)

 

 

 

 

Sleep

 

Even though the grind is the goal, you will lose efficiency if you're too tired

Ignore the people saying "REEEE, Sleep is XP-waste" and grab your sleeping cap!

 

 

 

The quality of your sleep can tell if you've been grinding too hard

-

if you find yourself shifting in and out of slumber

suddenly waking up, bathed in sweat

as you fall to your final doom

you may be experiencing

-

GRINDMARES

Take a break from your grind bro

 

 

 

 

                                              

Mind and soul
With your body in peak condition we move on to the inside

                                                                    

 

 

Mental health

 

In a busy world where everyone is constantly grinding, it's imperative to take breaks!

The world of Alora has plenty of awe inspiring places to visit

 

 

 

Falador park

 

 

 

 

Priffdinas

 

 

 

 

Enchanted valley

 

 

 

 

Entertainment

 

Repeating the same thing over and over can be frustrating and boring!

Distract yourself with some entertainment

 

Some players use Netflix, YouTube, Facebook etc.

None of these compares to the in-game provided entertainment!

 

 

 

Simply strike up conversation with other players!
there's a 50% chance you're talking to a window licker, otherwise it's probably you

 

You can ask which clan is #1 for some free drama
or tune in to the daily PvP raging in ;;yell

 

 

 

Here's a few examples of what to expect from player interactions

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love

 

In order to have a healthy mentality, love is a must

If you don't feel loved, you might lose your will to live, or even worse - your will to grind

 

The easiest way of feeling loved, is buying a gf.

The most common offer lies around 10gp, but some filthy gold-diggers demand more

 

 

 

If you can't find a gf, feel free to use these images to let off some steam.

 

I wont judge you

I lied, you're disgusting

 

 

 

Stay safe

 

Now that you're taking on the Alora hoes, remember to stay safe.

Wrap it up kings! 

 

In recent times, you can't feel safe anywhere!

The world has turned into the wilderness and you're playing as a Hardcore Ironman

 

 

 

@ @ @ @ @   BREAKING NEWS   @ @ @ @ @

Omicron & Lowkey locks down ;;dz due to Corona outbreak

 

As the feared COVID-19 wreaks havoc upon Alora, players are encouraged to stay in their homes

Event managers cancels events and Edgeville bank is emptier than the wilderness

 

Some visionary merchants took advantage of the panic

Their hoarding of face masks and prayer scrolls aka. toilet paper has secured them great profit

 

 

Steer clear of contaminated areas, keep your face mask  on, and stick to your grind!

 

 

 

 

 

Starting the grind

 

We've figured out how to maintain our physical and mental well-being.

Now we move on to the grind itself

 

 

 

Setting a goal

 

The first thing you need is an objective

This goal will become your beacon, lighting up the path towards success

 

As for what goal to set, follow your heart 

 

 

In a situation where you've set your goal, but the gods of RNG plot against you

You may end up having the entirety of Alora treat your grind like a meme.

 

This is the greatest honour achievable.

 

So don't be humble when you set your goal

What do YOU want?

 

 

 

Stay on track

 

With an objective set, you're ready to embark on your grind!

Gear up, turn up for your favourite music, and have your mom on bathroom QRF

 

 

 

In order to separate the wheat from the chaff, staff has laid out vicious traps

They will constantly try to bait you off track!

 

 

Keep your eyes on the prize!

Some grinds may take a very long time

Dedication is Major Key  Alert

The tougher the grind - The more accomplishment you feel

 

 

 

Share your grind

 

Sometimes your mind will drift.

Why am I here?

What am I doing with my life?

These are but meaningless pixels

This is waste of time and money!

 

There's a way to add meaning to your existence and value to your time

Share your experiences with your friends

 

This may be the greatest source of motivation

 

You could join one of the major clans such as ICE, Dynasty or Phereus.

These clans often has chats where you can share your grind, or just make friends in general
People may encourage you and/or share their own experiences

 

If you followed my awful advice earlier in this post about striking up conversation with random people

you may end up meeting like-minded people

 

These can very well become the reason you continue playing

Huge shout-out to my boys Fe hash | Hassia | GIMP Jesus | TheTempzz

Yeah that's the entirety of my friends list

Please be my friend

^{Disclaimer: This may not be my actual friend list}

 

If you have friends in real life (this is very unlikely) I encourage you to invite them to play Alora

They will undoubtedly respect you for your very impressive in-game play time

 

 

 

Flex your achievements

 

One of the reasons sharing your progress is motivating, is because it yields recognition

Apart from the encouragement from friends, there are also permanent distinctions

 

One such distinction is the Forum Award.

Here's an example of an achieved player's (KP) Awards

 

You should definitely check the awards out!
They also make great goals to grind for such as

 

Maxing out every account type

get a life dude

 

There are also less time consuming ones:

 

 

Donator ranks also counts as a goal which requires grinding

Amass money and acquire bonds that will fund your next rank

 

Your improved rank will then yield greater benefits which makes the future grinds easier

The most lucrative donator ranks     may require months of grinding or easy access to moms credit card

Read more about donator perks and support the server here

 

 

 

 

 

You've made it all the way to

THE END

 

I hope you enjoyed it

Please hit  if you did  

 

 

Good luck on your grind

&

Thanks for reading
