Hi guys,

We're aware that there's a number of people messaging players on the forums with phishing links. I must urge everyone to ignore these messages and please report the issue to any Forum Moderator, Global Moderator or Admin that is online. Whether you report it ingame, on the forums or via Discord, let us know as soon as you can so we can deal with these people.

We are doing our best to stay on top of the situation but need the reports to come in so we can ban these users as soon as we can, should they continue.

Once again, I must urge no one clicks the links they receive via pm as they will not have a good outcome.

Thanks for your co-operation.

Regards,

Alora Administration team.

Join a useful clan maybe you'll get some people
But, I do support the idea it would make it a lot easier to find groups.

hes in tng rofl we RUN raids.

Looks like its a given. I'll make sure to notify this to Blank when he's back. 

This is a more than reasonable suggestion, defiantly support ubers getting a userbar as well. :)

Hey guys,
 
Although @Jedzio has already taken the liberty of creating the 3 month milestone thread, and has done a great job of doing so, I'd like to personally congratulate everyone on 3 months of Alora! It's been a wonderful ride, and I'm incredibly proud of everything we've achieved as a community and how we've grown, and I look forward to seeing what the future has in store for us :) Here's a balanced set of updates -- I tried to squeeze in a few necessary bug fixes (both server and client) as well as some cool new content which I've seen frequently requested. 
 

UPDATE: Issued a hotfix to address Raids issue + Boss time records.
 
[Updates]

• Fire Max Cape added:
  • The new Fire Max Cape featuring the moving lava has been added.
    • (Your old Fire Max Cape will be automatically converted to this version)
• Mouse clicking system has been copied from OSRS
  • Many users have reported issues with the clicking system such as missed switches, hopefully this update will fix those issues.
  • Additionally, the issue of your mouse clicking the same place twice and not recognizing the movement has been fixed
  • This also fixes the item "double flash" issue when equipped.
• Misc client changes:
  • Orb fixes
    • The colors of the hp/pray/run orbs have been fixed and updated to the latest used by OSRS.
  • Field of View / Mouse zooming changes:
    • The client is now "smoother" when using the mousewheel to zoom in and out.
    • It also has a field of view more similar to OSRS's
    • No more "stretching" of objects
    • Objects no longer go invisible when zoomed out all the way
    • Increased maximum zoom out distance
• Duel interface fix:
  • Some players may have noticed the final duel arena interface "flashes" the items (including Dwarf remains) for a split second. This will not longer occur.
• ::Drag commands:
  • These commands are meant to improve item switching to your liking:
    • ::drag
      • Sets both of the "drag" variables to your specified #. 10 seems to work well. (Eg. ::drag 10)
    • ::dragtimer:
      • This variable sets the "time" that your mouse has to be down to be considered a "drag"
      • Default: 5 (milliseconds)
    • ::dragdistance:
      • This variable sets the minimum "distance" that your mouse has to move from the original spot to be considered a drag.
      • Default: 5 (pixels)
    • ::dragreset:
      • Resets both drag values to 0
    • Note: Drag commands do not save on client exit! You must set them everytime the client restarts.
• NPC/Player 'attack' option settings:
  • You can now set the preferences for the 'attack' option:
    • Dependant on combat level
    • Always right click
    • Left-click where available
    • Hidden
  • These will save on logout per-player.
• Raids changes:
  • You must now have a total level of 1100 to enter the Chambers.
  • Reward rate has been slightly increased(more specifically, the "effect" that points have on loot has been increased)
• Raids bug fixes:
  • Fixed the bug where Tekton would sometimes be unattackable for some players.
  • Ironman can now loot Bronze axes, small fishing nets and tinderboxes within the Raids dungeon
  • Dwarf multi-cannons can no longer be set up in raids
  • Fixed the location you end up in when you return through the final skilling room passage (should go back to Deathlies)
  • Fixed your screen being unclickable for too long when entering Raids or Olm's room (because of the fade screen)
• Ring of wealth(i) effects enhanced:
  • Ensouled heads now have a higher chance of dropping while wearing the ROW(i)
  • Money caskets now have a higher chance of dropping while wearing the ROW(i)
• Fixed walk-through door bug (mostly for Wilderness)

  • Rock crabs are now in their "Rock form" and turn into crabs when you get closer to them
• Uber rank benefits:

  • Bosses will now display how long it has taken you to kill it.
    • Timer begins the instant it receives damage, regardless of the player who deals it.
  • Personal record saving:
    • Personal records for all bosses are saved to the player's account.
    • Every time you kill a boss, your record will also be displayed.

Enjoy! And expect more content updates to come this weekend, as well as some PvP related updates next week :)

From what i've seen since raids have been out is that less and less people are going and doing raids daily. In my opinion this is due to a lack of drops. Personally I have done about 70 raids and have only had one drop in my name. That was at about 10 kc. I think raid drops should go back to how they were dropping before the very first patch which made drops a lot more rare. Yes this will obviously make prices go down but prices don't matter if there aren't enough items coming into the game. Also increasing the drop rate and people getting more drops will encourage them to keep doing raids and maybe raids will be a little more active.
