#94333 Tax on Trading Post
Posted by
Ultistic on 27 June 2017 - 05:31 AMTalks about prices being unstable/too high...Merched crystal seeds to 50 mil last week.
That's the whole reason behind this topic, it's not just me who does that (lost money doing that btw) It's with any item on the TP. Somebody with 5-10b cash can easily buy out a certain item and make it go up in price by 20-30% and players are left without an option. Reading through some of these comments I like the idea of adding some sort of "limit" on buying a certain amount of an item per day.

#94115 Tax on Trading Post
Posted by
Ultistic on 26 June 2017 - 12:36 PMHey guys,Lately, we have started talking about the possibility of adding a tax on the Trading Post. The main reason we've considered this is to make sure that the economy on Alora stays as strong as it now, and we think that by adding this we can achieve that and benefit the great economy we already have even more.As you know, there is always new gold being created in Alora every second that wasn't there before. This can be from thieving, alching, monster drops, and so many more methods. The problem is, as time goes on and new players join, all of this gold accumulates. Without gold sinks (for example: Well of Goodwill) the economy will inflate pretty quickly without any sort of control.What does this mean for you? This means that the blowpipe that you used to be able to purchase for 40m now costs 70m.. But it hasn't gotten much easier for you to get that 70m through conventional methods. If you're thieving, that ~10k gp stall doesn't really change so inflation is only hurting your purchasing power.With that being said, we're proposing a non-intrusive tax on the Trading post that most players probably won't even notice, and we'll discuss how this will work if it's added and get some feedback from the awesome community we have.Pros- Less money in the economy and more price stability
- This also means that if you take a break from Alora and come back after a month, your money can still buy almost exactly what you were able to buy with it when you come back.
- Less GP = Less inflation (items won't increase in value as much)
- Since we don't change the money that comes in through drops/thieving/alching, price stability is very important so that we can keep new players and make sure everyone doesn't have too much trouble affording necessities.
Cons- Seller loses a % of GP from the item sold
- Our plan was to impose the fees on the seller, so when they claim their GP a certain amount would be subtracted for fees.
- Trading post will be used less and basic trading methods will be more popular.
- This may not even be a consequence, but we might see more people trading off of the TP. On one hand this promotes interaction between our community, but on the other hand it could mean less goods are available on the TP.
ExampleLowkey sells a pair of ranger boots for 15m to Omicron, (basing this off of a 2% tax) Lowkey would only be left with 14.7M (300k disappears from the game permanently).Will give you guys some options to vote on, and I would love to hear some feedback and your thoughts on this being introduced into the game. Any other questions regarding this can either be asked down below or by sending me a message on forums.Alora Administration Team
#82395 Second Trading Post
Posted by
Ultistic on 18 May 2017 - 08:35 AMThis suggestion was made awhile ago when we first introduced gambling. Omicron made it clear on that suggestion that there will be only 1 trading post and it will be located in edgeville.
Your suggestion has been declined, if you feel this was wrongfully done please contact a Forum Moderator+.
#81731 Recent Hackings

Ultistic on 16 May 2017 - 04:43 AMHey guys,
There are some rumors going around that a popular server's database was leaked (Don't be alarmed, it isn't ours). If you don't have 2FA activated onto your account we all HIGHLY recommend that you activate it today. Here is a guide on how to set it up - http://www.alora.io/...tication-guide/
We encourage you to activate 2FA so you have the highest level of protection on your account. If your account is hacked there will be nothing we can do as we have offered you security for your account. If you use the same password on ANY other services I suggest you change them to something unique that you don't use anywhere else even if you have 2FA activated. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to PM me directly on forums.
Regards,
The Alora Administration Team

#69041 6 Month Anniversary of Alora
Posted by
Ultistic on 10 April 2017 - 08:41 AMSince july of last year I have put everything I can into this server. Since we released on November 4th I have seen this server continue to grow. Yesterday was a huge milestone for us as we hit 760+ players and we all owe it to you guys.
Omicron has been working day in and day out on this server to provide you guys with quality content and updates. Not to mention he does almost everything by himself.
So, thank you Omicron, staff team, and especially the community of Alora for doing everything you do to keep Alora #1.
#66406 About the staff promotions
Posted by
Ultistic on 01 April 2017 - 02:34 PMI am playing Runescape since '07, so what? There's a difference between private servers and 07
This doesn't mean Blank has to accept her application directly. The community needs to decide, not Blank
The community will never decide who gets promoted onto the staff team. Blank also didn't decide to promote them, I did.
I have been watching her and Cam only sit in help cc for hours on end for the past 2 weeks doing nothing but helping. They are both extremely active and helpful which is why we chose them so quickly. You should be happy that we have QUALITY server supports to benefit you and rest of Alora when you need help.

#65830 What kind of updates would you like to see?
Posted by
Ultistic on 30 March 2017 - 02:03 PMHey guys,
I'm going to be running a poll for 1 week to find out what you guys want to see in future updates. If you do happen to vote for something can you please give a brief example or even ideas of what you would like to see, Omicron and I will be visiting this poll throughout the week and gathering ideas from the community. Please take your time and vote and have a chance to be heard!
I'm not going to add bug fixes to the list as those are done weekly when new updates are released.
Regards,
Lowkey
