Flowers' Public Announcement (Inactivity)

09 March 2018 - 07:38 PM

Dates of expected inactivity: 12/03/2018-18/03/2018

Reasoning: I've applied for a position at the met police and I've an interview next Saturday, therefore I won't have much time to attend to my staff duties in-game. I will still be online the Forums/Discord but my daily activity in-game will decrease to an hour or so (probably less) until my priorities are straightened out.

Expected date of return: 18/03/2018+

 

 

Kindest Regards,

Your favourite staff member.


January Suggestions [30/01/2018]

30 January 2018 - 12:21 PM

So it's been a couple weeks or so since I posted a suggestion thread, and as some things have been brought to my attention I think it's time for another thread. Sit back and enjoy this read of a bunch of small suggestions whilst listening to this song.

 

Credits to Elvemage jr for some suggestions!

Player Look-up

I think it would be cool to have a right-click option added to players called "Look up" or "Search". This would either redirect the user to X's highscore page or to X's profile on the Forums. This additional option would make it easier and quicker to view the stats of other players in the game.

 

 

Teleport Cooldowns (Wilderness)

I think there should be a cooldown with teleporting into the wilderness. There should be something like a 90 second restriction when teleporting anywhere in the wilderness. This is to prevent ragging (to an extent).

 

 

Attack Requirement (Wilderness)

It should be made so players in the wilderness need to have either at least three items or must be risking above X amount of money in order to attack other players. This could also prevent ragging to an certain extent.

 

 

Teleport Wizard

As of right now, there's only one Teleport Wizard in Alora and that at home (Edgeville). I think there should be an additional wizard at the donator zone(s).

 

 

Daily Tasks

I think it would be a good idea to introduce daily tasks. There would be a reward (either loyalty points or even coins) for completing X task. This could potentially increase the activity in whatever field it may concern. For example, if the daily task were to be "Kill 20 bosses" there would be an increase in PvMing. The same goes for PKing, if the daily task were to be "Kill 5 players" then perhaps the wilderness would gain more attention.

 

 

Lottery Bot

This is something that I've suggested in the past as I thought it was a good idea, however it has never been addressed. I think there should be a Lottery Bot NPC/Booth. This could potentially be a good money sink as 10% of the money donated could get emptied and the other 90% will go to a randomly selected winner. It's pretty self explanatory so I won't talk about this further.

 

 

Yell Announcements

Sometimes yell doesn't announce things that should be announced. For example, upon achieving 99 Hunter no one is informed as yell doesn't address this via an announcement. In addition to this, yell should announce anything that's worth mentioning (e.g. completing 100% of the achievement diary).

 

 

Hard Tasks

As of right now, there are only Easy and Medium tasks. We don't necessarily need to add additional tasks but I think it would be worth adding a "Hard" list and moving some tasks over to that. There are some tasks that could be considered as hard but are listed under Medium.

 

 

Duel Arena

There are a couple of thing that I'd like to address with this. It's quite broken and can get very annoying.

  • The "Load" and "Save" presets should work
  • The "Load last duel" option should work
  • When toggling the rules, if both players are spamming 'em it'll bug out
  • The forfeit trap door doesn't work (or at least one of them, I don't know maybe it just bugs out sometimes)

 

 

Resting

When attempting to perform an action whilst resting, it'll bug out. An example of this would be trying to accept a trade whilst resting. The trade screen will show up on the other person's side but not yours.

 

 

Bonus Skill

Upon clicking on "Bonus skill" in the game panel, I think an interface should pop up that shows the schedule of bonus skills. This is pretty self explanatory and I think it would be beneficial as it would stop players from asking around or looking on the Forums.

 

 

XP Counter

There's only a small section of the XP counter button that toggles your total experience, the majority of the button's area makes you look north. I'm sure this is a known issue.

 

 

Construction House Viewer

As Endeavor has suggested, I think it would be cool to implement this into Alora. This copypasta is from a RuneScape Forums Post.

Thanks for reading,

Jake.

January Suggestions [14/01/2018]

13 January 2018 - 09:15 PM

I haven't made a suggestion thread in quite a while and as I've been active in-game recently I thought it'd be best to put that activity to some use and create something constructive. What better time to write a thread up than 3am. I've compiled a list of things that I'd like to see implemented in Alora, so please listen to one of my favourite songs right now whilst reading this thread.
 
 
Proceed with caution.

Gambling Activity
Gambling is typically a very important aspect of a server as it attracts a lot of attention and it's something that everyone loves in the RSPS community. The majority of popular servers have/had a very active gambling scene and it was one of the many reasons why players joined the server. On Alora, however, the gambling scene is very different. It's very inactive and frankly it's sad to see. Personally, I love gambling and I think it's a great attraction for players. Even though Alora doesn't really need more players, I think gambling needs a little focus to try and increase it's activity. I could only think of a couple of things to suggest to increase the scene's activity so if you guys have other things that you think will help please leave them in the comment section.
 
Firstly, I think the dice bag and mithril seeds should be made cheaper and purchasable from a shop (perhaps the Gambler NPC who roams the area for X amount of coins). This would ultimately mean that more people would gamble on the server, but there are most definitely both positives and negatives. I'll do my best to provide a list of the two.
 
 
Pros
  • The gambling scene activity would gradually increase
  • The revamp may attract more players, clans or content creators
  • This would lead to the creation of more gambling clans
  • Perhaps this could lead to more videos around the gambling scene being created
 
 
Cons
  • Those who have purchased the dice bag from the store may feel cheated out of their money/tokens. A solution to this could be to refund said player their tokens (for example)
  • As anyone would be able to use the dice bag it may lead to more scams on the server
 
Secondly, perhaps uTorrent, Scenery or any other member of staff could host more events around the gambling scene. I don't imagine that this would have a huge impact on the scene's activity but maybe a little bit as they'd be hosted more frequently.
 
 
 
 
Classic Title
This hurts my eyes. Please change the colour of this title over yell. This would make Flowers happy.

Staff Messages
I've reported this issue in the past more than once I believe but nothing has happened. When members of staff send you private messages in-game, they show in each option even though they should only appear "private" and "all". This may be intentional as it only happens with staff members but it's very annoying for me. Alls I'm tryna do is look at the clan chat conversations yet I'm being spammed by Hot Cakes reminding me of how hot I look irl, distracting me from helping my fellow Alorains have a better server experience.
 
Another thing regarding staff messages would be that I think icons should show. This is for self explanatory reasons and I think it'd be neat to implement. I don't really see a reason not to.

Inappropriate Usernames
I've reported this issue in the past more than once I believe but nothing has happened. I think it's ridiculous to see the usernames that some people have and they're just allowed to keep them. From what I understand you disallow people to use the word "nig**r" in their usernames, so why don't you enforce this for other usernames? The last time I suggested something like this you said that there was nothing that can be done as it requires for said player's character file to be deleted or something? I don't know if I'm recalling correctly but there must be something that you can do. When Chase and I were talking about this issue he mentioned/suggested to add a word filter for when players try to register new accounts. This filter would disallow the player to create said account if they tried to use offensive or inappropriate words.
 
• c. Account names containing inappropriate, slanderous and/or disrespectful language towards another's race, belief system, ethics, or sexual orientation are not tolerated. Failure to comply with this will result in a permanent ban of the account.
 
This rule needs to be expanded. "Fuck off cunt" isn't against the rules according to the thread as the username has nothing to do with another's race, belief system, ethics or sexual orientation.
 
 
 
 
Fossil Island
Fossil Island is a largely requested thing as I've seen on the server and I have to agree that it'd be unique to have. It's pretty much a donator zone if you think about it as it offers a lot of things. I think it'd be a great idea to implement this then advertise it on the toplists so players are aware that Alora has unique content. If you wish to read up on Fossil Island to see what it's about then click this unnecessarily long hyperlinked sentence.

Veteran Rank
Personally, I think that the Veteran Rank requirements are... okay. However, there's an issue that I see with this. If someone just afks their time in-game and on the Forums, does that mean they're eligible for the rank? Yes, as they meet the requirements. Not only do I see that as an issue, but what if, in this scenario, this player had absolutely no positive impact in the community, or perhaps this person negatively impacts the community? The point I'm trying to make is I think that people should be deserving of the rank, otherwise next year y'all gonna have 1,094 veterans running around and it'll make the server look tacky.
 
Another concern that I see with the requirements are that they're not actually followed. By this I mean that people have had the Veteran rank given to them without them meeting the requirements. Since then, their rank has been removed however there's still one individual who has the rank even though they don't meet the requirements. The requirements thread clearly states that:
 
  • Your account must be older than one year
  • Your time online on the Forums must be 50+ days
  • Your in-game time played must be 50+ days
  • You must have less than 3 infractions on the Forums
  • You must have less than 3 punishments In-game
 
Collerkar76 doesn't meet these requirements. I'm unsure of his in-game playtime (I presume it's more than 50 days) but his account isn't one year old, nor is his time online the forums more than 50 days. Collerkar76 has had the Veteran rank since his resignation (however long ago that was) but he registered his account on the 19th of January. He needs 5 more days before he meets this requirement. His time online on the Forums is 39 days and 2 hours. He needs an additional 10 days and 22 hours before he meets this requirement.
 
I understand that Collerkar76 was a very respected person and an exception to this rank as he put a lot of effort into Alora but you could at least put this in the thread, saying something along the lines of "The Veteran Rank can be given to anyone if the staff team see fit". I joined months before Collerkar76, neither of us fully meet the requirements yet he has the rank. This makes Flowers sad as he wants it.
 
 
 
 
Member of the Month
This community event should allow members of the community to vote for candidates they wish to see nominated. A member of staff can then create a poll with said nominees and allow the community to vote for who they wish to be the Member of the Month. Whichever candidate has the most votes by the end of X should be the final say. The staff members shouldn't be the ones to have the final say as it's a community thing. Last month's Member of the Month was a little weird, as the candidate with the most votes (Savitr) had the most community votes, however Extremedanny was the one who won as the staff team decided to give it to him. In my opinion I think that this shouldn't happen.
 
 
 
 
The Moderating Team
Please put this list in a rank order. It's really hurting my eyes and I'd quite like to die continue living.

Discord Ownership Transfer
If I recall correctly, Blank had an argument with Administrators/staff members in public and they were kicked/banned/they left the server. This is a community Discord and I think every staff member should be in there so members of the community can ask them questions/DM them directly if needed. What if Blank has arguments with every staff member and they all get kicked? (I know this will never happen but I'm just expressing a point). If Blank didn't kick/ban any staff members from the Discord then disregard the title, don't however disregard the point I'm trying to make.
 
Also, some members of staff who are in the Discord don't have their rank and should be given them asap (unless they don't want it?).
 
 
 
 
Discord staff
When browsing Discord, I noticed that the majority of staff members don't have the Discord Staff rank. I think they should have this rank for obvious reasons. Also give Flowers Discord Staff.
