I agree, with staff members like To Gain, who to the community only logs in, mutes, kills potential new players but instead they leave because they get tilted by getting pked by a gold crown, instead of getting assistance from staff, they are set backwards. This gives the entire staff team a bad look to those players instead of just the one who is too lazy to make an alt account that is unranked. Pking is a part of the game, but you have to have some sense when it comes to it. Alora is largely an ironman server, not pk server. They come here to visit the content for irons, and starting at revs is a good place for GP. I dont know Kareem, or if he is good or not, but the slightly incompetent person who said hes just human is just enabling him. As a staff member, you should have a large amount of knowledge on Alora to be able to aid people, read the title of his staff position if you are still confused. To say "hes just a human who makes mistakes" is quite literally a dense comment. He is supposed to help new players, and old players alike. Back to To Gain, if baffles me he hasn't been demoted. He has a very large ego problem that reflects onto the staff team, and i have had certain situations where he abused his staff rank/power. For example I pm'd him saying my account was dc'd near KBD and it was black screened. It was a new GIM and he did help me, which i can't deny, but first he made sure to pk my account. Aswell as a recent incident where he died due to poor 1:1 coding of multi to osrs, he used his staff rank to get a refund, even though on Alora the multi icon was there, and you would be fully aware you were in multi. When he killed me due to a bug, he didn't refund my items (the bug was i planted a seed under him and didn't move, forcing me to be stuck where i was.) I didnt even ask for a full refund, just one of my spec weps back since i was low on them, and he replied with "nah im keeping a collection." I have also seen him abuse the singles plus timers in Rev Caves and has pj'd fights, and even took a kill on me off another pker somehow pjing the middle of the fight. Now it is my word against his, but there are many other people im sure he has done this to. Ivy, 2, Not Shadow, Arosa, and Lucifers GIM were the only staff members who actually did a good job during my time playing. Helpful, took time out of their days to figure out a problem with me, and if i had an issue instead of saying ::report, they just tp'd and saw what was going on first hand. To Gain, and a few others would respond with "::report" to the point where I just stopped messaging them. 

To gain is a stand up administrator, all i read is you crying about dying in pvp to a better player to you. #FAFO brb work call

What is your suggestion?

The addition of a few new item and gold sinks.

 

Is this in OSRS?

Death's Coffer and the IRS system are. Trader Sven's shop is not.

 

Has this suggestion been accepted already?

No.

 

How would this benefit Alora?

The server is in dire need of item sinks. The recently introduced Trading Post system has helped to a degree but further intervention is needed to improve the issue. 

 

Lost Item Coffer & Death Storage: 

• Implement a coffer next to the Lost item trader. The coffer would only accept items. Item values would be updated to match the current Trading Post item sink system.

  •  A minimum value to sacrifice an item could be set at 3-5M to prevent low-value goods from being used to fill the coffer.

  • The money in the coffer would be used instead of gold when purchasing items back from the Lost Item Manager, Nightmare, Zulrah, etc.

• Death Storage/Item Retrieval Service could be added to a few other bosses to better match OSRS death mechanics.

  • ​https://oldschool.ru...trieval_Service

    •  Alchemical Hydra, Vorkath, Theatre of Blood - 100K each

    • TOA - 250K

      • The buyback fee at TOA on OSRS is based on the value of your gear but capped at 500K. I've proposed 250K as it is in line with the cost at Nex currently. There's currently no reason to not use the Hardcore Invocation so this adds some risk/reward.

      • https://i.imgur.com/MGbFZtV.png

    • The IRS could be similar to Zulrah for TOB and TOA. Deaths would be free under 50 KC but cost the full amount after 50 KC to not hinder people learning new content.

 

 Trader Sven’s Black-Market Goods: 

• Players would sell items to him for credits to spend in his shop. These items would be wiped from the economy.

  • https://oldschool.ru...i/w/Trader_Sven

• There would be a limit on how many of each item can be sold every 12 or 24 hours. (Could reset with daily rewards, etc.)

• The trader would only accept certain items. The list of items accepted, and daily limits could be adjusted each update based on # of items in the game and item prices.

  • https://oldschool.ru...hange_item_sink

• Credit rewarded per item would be close to the current active trading prices for items. It could have a base value of 1m = 1 credit or something along those lines to base pricing. For example, a Bandos Chestplate could be worth around 20 credits if the current TP value was 20M.

 

Items to sink:

 

GWD Uniques:

• Bandos Chestplate/Tassets/Boots, Armadyl Helmet/Chestplate/Chainskirt, Godswords/Hilts, Zamorakian Spear/Hasta, Staff of the dead/TSOTD/SOL, Armadyl Crossbow

• Nex - Ancient Godsword/Hilt, Zaryte Crossbow/Nihil horn, Zaryte vambraces, Torva pieces

 Zulrah Uniques

• Toxic blowpipe/Tanzanite fang, Serpentine helm/visage, Magic fang

COX Uniques

• Prayer scroll, Elder maul, Kodai wand/insignia, Dragon claws, Ancestral pieces, Dinh’s bulwark, DHCB, Twisted buckler, Twisted bow

TOB Uniques

• Avernic defender hilt, Sanguinesti staff, Ghrazi rapier, Justiciar pieces, Scythe of vitur

TOA Uniques

• Lightbearer, Elidinis' ward, Osmumten's fang, Masori pieces, Tumeken's shadow

Slayer Boss Uniques

• Trident of the swamp/seas, Abyssal tentacle/whip, Kraken tentacle, Pegasian/Primordial/Eternal boots/crystals, Occult necklace, Brimstone ring, Dragonhunter lance, Ferocious gloves/Hydra leather

Misc Uniques

•  Zenyte jewelry, Spectral/Arcane/Elysian SS, DK rings, Wildy Boss rings, Barrows sets, Dragon pickaxe, Inquisitor pieces, Nightmare staff, NM orbs, Rev weapons, Ancient PVP gear/weapons

 

Potential Rewards:

•  Instance tokens

•  Ancient Tablet

  • A single-use tablet that allows users to select a desired static layout for the Chambers of Xeric. Use the tablet at the entrance of COX, choose the layout you want, you enter the lobby, and the tablet gets consumed.

  • Options for speed, points, etc. could be available.

  • These are considered "perfect scouts" in terms of speed.

    • [FSCCSPCPSF] Vasa > Tekton > Tightrope > Vespula > Crabs

    • [SFCCSPCPSF] Vasa > Tekton > Tightrope > Vespula > Crabs

    • [SCPFCCSPSF] Vasa > Tightrope > Tekton > Vespula > Crabs

    • [SCSPFCCSPF] Vasa > Tightrope > Tekton > Vespula > Crabs

•  Boss Slayer Token

  • Use these on the slayer master to allow the player to select a boss slayer task. These tasks would have a boosted max kill count. Up to 50 for bosses like Commander Zilyana, Corporeal Beast, etc.

  • Players would be able to assign no more than 3 for Zuk or Jad slayer tasks.

•  Dark Totems

•  Locator Orb

  • Used to purposely lower HP in PVP/PVM. The orb would go to lost items on death and be reclaimed for a small fee.

  • Locator orb - OSRS Wiki (runescape.wiki)

•  Pet insurance token

  • A token that can be used to insure a pet with Probita instead of spending 10M GP.

•  Avarice Imbuement (Untradeable)

  • This imbuement would give the player the drop boost of red-skulling without having to red skull. Players may opt to bring more risk to the Revenant Caves if they are not skulled for more kills per hour. This in turn increases the potential loot for Pkers.

  • The imbuement would be lost on a PVP death and give the Pker extra GP in the loot pile or key. On PVM death it would go to the Lost item manager to be reclaimed for a small fee.

  • The boost would not stack with the effect of skulling or red-skulling at Revenants.

•  Crystal crown

  • Worth 750M in sunk items.

•  Imbuement Scroll

  • The same scroll offered from the Slayer shop.

• Minigame Booster Scroll

  • Boost points, etc. for various minigames. These would stack with server and/or vote book bonuses.

    • Mahogany homes carpenter pts per contract

    • GOTR pearls per search when pearls are rolled or higher chance to roll pearls

    • Reputation per commission at Giant’s Foundry

    • Tithe Farm points from Tithe Farm

    • +2 Tickets from Castle Wars (Win or loss)

    • Bonus Tempoross Permits

    • Increased chance of unique drops from Battle mages in Mage Arena

•  Crystal Shards

  • These are far harder to come by on Alora than on OSRS with fewer players doing Gauntlet & Zalcano to keep the prices of crystal seeds manageable.

•  Enhanced Crystal Keys

•  Noted supplies

  • Super Combats

  • Bastion Potions

  • Sanfew Serums

  • Anglerfish

  • Karambwan

  • Lava scales/Lava scale shards for extended anti-fires/super anti-fires

  • Bird’s nests/Crushed nests

•  Enchanted Lyre

  • Provides unlimited teleports to:

    • SW of Relleka - Near two clue steps

      • https://i.imgur.com/g9DU4hh.png

    • Waterbirth Island - Would help with gathering snape grass quickly/efficiently

    • https://oldschool.ru..._lyre#Uncharged

•  Bolt Pouch

  • Allows a player to carry multiple kinds of bolts in one inventory slot.

  • https://oldschool.ru...ki/w/Bolt_pouch

•  Camulet

  • Provides unlimited teleports to the Bandit Camp Quarry. Useful for mining sand and granite.

    • https://i.imgur.com/euVOkiP.png

•  Godsword Animation Overrides

  • Adds a gold trim to godsword special attack animations. These are rewards from LMS on OSRS.

  • Animation overrides - OSRS Wiki (runescape.wiki)

 

•  Speedy Teleport Scroll

  • ​Overrides the home teleport animation.

@Lowkey will forever be the OG DAD of Alora. Hope to see you around again when you got time in the future brother, day 1 homie right here. Got to meet baldy through his crazy streams and discord before ever joining the staff team. Happy for the friendship we have, and I know we will be seeing each other in the future IRL. Thank you for everything you have done for Alora. I respect your decision and hope you get everything you want in life bro. cu when we xrp millionares baby

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

Welcome back to Alora man!

 

Also Philly, PA?

Yeess broooValley Forge area

 

lol you really thought
 

Albeit after some long breaks, today I got the golden completionist monkey. Going forward I'll be working to complete the corp beast and raids 1 & 2 collection logs.

 

@Collerkar76 Thanks man! I highly recommend glorious gear

It was great having you on the team. I'm proud you've reached the ranks you did. Not an easy achievement.

 

 

Goodluck with real-life, and with your endeavors man.

Thanks for the kind words Jake , I'm not leaving just yet!

   I'm 3 days late on this post, but I've been very busy lately. First, I would like to thank the #SaltyExAdmins, I know it was a hard choice back then to promote me into this position. I know in the beginning I was having a rough time adjusting to things and was not giving the promotion the 110% dedication it deserved. I'm confident to say that all of those things have been addressed, and that I pour all my heart & time into this job now.

 

   The biggest shout out for me would have to be to @Omicron (Dan & Chad), @Lowkey for always sticking up for me, and trying to make me better myself throughout the journey. Every experience I had with them, good or bad was a lesson to get me to the point I'm at now. Especially @God you called me out on every single thing I did wrong, but without that I wouldn't have been able to keep working on improvements.

 

   Huge shout out to @KP , I've always wanted to make such a good impact on the community as you've done with your time here. I try to engage the community every day, I try to be there for anyone no matter who they are & listen/assist with anyone's problems. I have love for the community, not just the job itself. If it wasn't for the boys, I don't think I would be here.

 

   I don't think I'll be able to remember every single name, but this will be for everyone on the team that in one way or another, helped me become who I am today. So thank you very much!

 

@Hellish @Loo @Salter @Code 002 @Mhk @Banks @Hot Cakes @Smiv @Kharyrll @Doofy @Champ @Mack @Sheep @Sassafras @Dante @Kaamea @Collerkar76 (except when you banned me ) @Tyanx @Iron Foxit

 

Thank you everyone & the community for supporting me this long!

 

Cheers to the upcoming years.

 

Edit: Thanks @Champ , it's actually 7 months!
