TESTING. TESTING. FENCING.

That's not happening with me. It's working just fine, maybe try relogging? 

• [Updates]
• Technical:
  • Changed the way the trading post/clan chats are saved to reduce stress on the server
• Miscellaneous:
  • Christmas event removed
  • Trade screen fixes:
  • Fixed trade screen not showing "Other player has accepted.." which broke on the last update
  • Switching has been improved even further(sometimes on 5+ way switches 1 item would not equip)
  • There was also an issue where the client would sometimes try to click another item on a right-click option. This has been fixed.
  • Fixed sound effects for wind spells
  • Gulls(seagulls) near Relleka now fly around as intended
  • Although Wyvern bones experience was fixed in a previous update, the experience received for bones on altar
  • was not fixed. It is now correct and matches Dragon bones.
• Client fixes:
  • Toggles should now be updated more quickly:
  • Eg. if you click the run/quickpray orbs, they should update instantly, they were previously delayed
    • See: http://i.imgur.com/E45sgLO.gif
  • This also fixed piety/chivarly delay when being clicked, as well as the improper sound.
  • Fixed small issue with hitpoint orb icon
• Clan Chat Ranks completed:
  • You can now rank friends in your clan
    • All ranks work properly
  • Minimum ranks
    • You may set a minimum join rank
    • You may set a minimum speak rank
    • You may set a minimum kick rank
  • Kicking:
  • You can now kick others from your chat, which will ban them from re-entering for 30 minutes.
    • To unban them, you can simply set them to any friends rank higher than "none".
  • This allows us to set official CC ranks for things like: Ironman CC, Gamble CC, etc.
    • These ranks will have to be set manually by staff to people who are worthy of a rank, eg. Knowledgeable and helpful ironmen, or trusted hosts.
• Banking system redone to match OSRS
  • Main tab which allows you to view/drag between all other tabs
    • Searching between all tabs at the same time
  • Less delays when switching between tabs
  • Less bug-prone code
  • Tab header options(Roman numerals/digits)
  • Bank now remembers the last position you were at rather than resetting to the top
  • Bank allows you to withdraw-*last_amount* that you withdrew
  • Scrollbar scaling
    • The scrollbar will now fit to the size of the items in the interface
  • Placeholders
    • Placeholders can now be set/released.
    • You can also toggle the placeholder setting so that placeholders will always be set when an item hits 0.
• Magic mechanics fixed
  • Splashing spells will now still reward you with the base experience(for Magic, but not hitpoints)
  • Damage map fixes for players using Magic
• Dragon claws added
  • Dragon claws are now available in the PvP shop
  • We've even managed to use the real 2010 graphics/animation for the Dragon claws
    • The OSRS team re-designed it, but it wasn't quite as smooth as the original!
  • All OSRS bonuses/special attack mechanics
• Wilderness changes:
  • Changes to "Eligibility" for PKP/emblems:
    • To receive emblems/pkp, and from this update forward also killcounts and killstreaks, you must:
    • Kill someone risking at least (Combat level 100+) 100K or (Combat level < 100) 50k
    • Kill someone with a different IP than you
    • Kill someone with a different MAC than you
    • Kill someone who you haven't killed within the last 10 minutes
      • A new "map" has been created to remember everyone who you've killed rather than 1 person
      • *This means if you are not eligible for PKP on a kill, your killcount and killstreak will not increase
  • Emblems now award PKP as well as GP at these rates:
    • Tier 1 120k GP 96 PKP
    • Tier 2 200k GP 160 PKP
    • Tier 3 320k GP 256 PKP

    • Tier 9 5.6m GP 3072 PKP
    • Tier 10 8m GP 4096 PKP
  • Emblems now upgrade when you kill someone on death(this mechanic was previously broken):
    • You do not need to kill a target to upgrade an emblem in your inventory
      • As long as your kill is eligible for PKP(not same IP/Mac, not a recently killed person, etc) you will also receive pkp.
  • Tier 1 emblem drop changes on target kill:
    • Ironman can now receive emblems
    • Players can now receive emblems when killing ironmen targets
    • Chance to get Tier 1 emblem has changed:
      • As long as you are eligible for PKP, the chance to get an emblem on a target kill is 50%.
  • PKP Exchange changes:
    • Crystal shield price fixed
    • Ballista price lowered
    • ***All prices reduced by 30%**
      • We've realized that the PKP prices are quite high, and for PKing to be decently profitable they needed to be reduced.
  • Banned players no longer appear on the KDR scoreboard in-game
    • This is to deter farmers from claiming the top spots on the scoreboard
• Achievement fixes:

  • The "Clueless" achievement has been changed from 10 Medium clues to 10 Hard clues
  • The "High stakes" achievement can now be completed by Ironmen
    • As soon as a duel starts, it will auto-complete this task since ironmen cannot stake items or GP
• Clue scroll changes
  • 1-step clue scroll bug fixed
  • Clue hunter armour:
    • There is now a random chance to obtain Clue hunter armour when completing a Hard/Elite clue scroll!
    • Rates for donators: (+4% to all for Elite clue scrolls)
      • 16% for Legendary
      • 10% for Extreme
      • 8% for Super
      • 6% for Regular
      • 4% for Non-donators

  • You can fish the Karambwan in Karamja on the dock
• Shop changes:
  • Sanfew serum added to shops
    • This potion will have the effects of both a Super restore and Superantipoison
  • Super energy added to shops
  • Guthix rest is now noted in shop, and has increased in price
  • Pure essence has been removed from Aubury's shop

As you all know the biggest forums spammer ever , a.k.a @Diva is getting close to that 1k LEGIT forum posts, let that little santa's helper know that spamming is good somethimes. @Diva Since you spend more time on the forums than on the actual game, i'd like your 1000 th post to be in this topic.

Spread the loving and happy new year everybody!

Hello,

The following are a list of changes that have either been applied, or are going to be applied in the next few days. The following are player driven suggestions, I have to applaud the amount of suggestions being made on a weekly basis. Keep it up, if your suggestion didn't make the bunch there is always next week.

• Gambling Command
  • The ::gamble and ::gambling commands have been implemented to allow players more ease of access when gambling. 
• Agility Cape
  • The cape can be worn in place of the Graceful Cape to gain the Graceful Set effect. 
• Coal Bag
  • Players can now obtain a coal bag which will allow them to store between 27 and 36 coal. Store coal ore in the bag, and while smithing you will use coal from the bag instead of your inventory to create bars.
• Zul-Andra Teleport Item
  • This item allows any player to quickly teleport the Zul-Andra area for quick return.
• Purchase Bulk Runes
  • Aubury knows a bit more english, he can now sell 2 groups of runes sets; Vengerance and Barrage runes. Each set contains 1,000 casts which allows for easy and quick restocking. This however comes at a 7% interest. What do you guys think of this?
• Money Casket Rewards
  • There are now three types of money caskets. The first tier now grants between 50 and 100k, the second tier grants between 75 and 110k and the third tier grants between 100 and 125k. The first tier requires a monster to have between 1 and 50 combat, the second requires 51 and 150, and the third is anything exceeding that. Any player with a current chest before this update has a tier 3 chest, enjoy! 
• Coins for Reclaimables on Death
  • When a player dies in the wilderness with an item on their person that is reclaimable will have 50% of the reclaimable cost dropped in the form of coins for the killer. The purpose of this is to give back some of the money that is leaving the economy so that players that focus on player killing can make more money whilst doing so.

Thanks!

Jason

Congrats on all the promotions! Grats @Diva for POTW, and @Blank cool read!

Can't wait for next week!

We are back with another edition of the Alora Newspaper. It's been a pretty intresting week for Alora, please read here to find out why.

Omicron was on fire this week with his updates, here are just some of them.

Combat/wilderness changes:

We've reworked the way the formula which determines whether you will hit or not works, The formulas overall were inaccurate and have been tweaked to be more similar to OSRS. This includes special attack accuracy which has also been reworked.

Ring of Dueling now works:

Teleport to Duel Arena, Castle Wars or Clan Wars

 

Wall safes added:

Available in the Rogue's den for players with level 50+ thieving:

Steal between 1-3.5k coins as well as a 12.5% chance of receiving a random gem!

 

When leaving instances(Kraken/cerberus/zulrah) your health/spec/etc will no longer be restored

 

Snow has been added to the client

This can be disabled by typing ::snow and relogging or changing regions. This option will save on logout.

 

 

This week the punishments for RWT were updated aswell as a new rule for fraud was added, please review them and get to know the new punishments and rule.

 

 

6. Real World Trading

First Offense (Selling) - Permanent Ban  | Second Offense - IP-Ban

First Offense (Buying) - 7 Day Ban with items wiped (Cash/Items that were traded) | Second Offense - Perm Ban  | Third Offense - IP-Ban

 

20. Fraud

Fraud is any sort of intentional wrongful deception of staff members intended to result in person/financial gain. Punishment can be issued to any player who breaks this rule given that there is proof beyond reasonable doubt(to be determined by the staff member issuing the punishment). This includes, but is not limited to:

a. Lying to staff members about losing items due to a bug.

b. Falsely accusing other players of breaking a rule that results in the punishment of that player.

 

 

There were a couple of changes to the staff team this week.

 

The following promotions happened.

 

Ikta has been promoted to global mod.

 

F 8 has been promoted to global mod.

 

Jupiter has been given the rank forum mod, as he suddenly found time for Alora.

 

Calvin has been promoted to server mod.

 

uTorrent has been promoted to forum mod.

 

Udead has been promoted to server support.

 

Demolition has been promoted to server support.

 

 

 

This week's player of the week has been extremly helpful and active amungst the community and is someone who has been chosen by multiple staff members not just myself for this prize. We'd like to congradulate Diva on winning this week's player fo the week award.

 

Diva will recieve a bond ingame. Please pm me when you get the chance for details.

 

 

 

This week the person we interviewed was our Community Manager Blank, read as we get to know him better.

 

What pet would you love to have?

Used to have a dog a couple of years ago, due to moving and current living space (being in dorms) I currently do not have the ability to have one anymore. Though I'd love to have one again. 

 

What sports do you enjoy doing?

Used to be on the basketball team, and on the baseball team. No longer play any of these sports due to my social life and other activities but these were my main activities a couple of years ago.

 

What's your one biggest pet peeve?

The most annoying thing I find would be people who can't think things through using information given to them. In other words, people who lack common sense.

 

What's your one annoying habit?

Not doing my dishes when I'm done eating I guess. Sometimes I am someone who enjoys having a clean place, but other times I just don't bother at all. Very bipolar in this sense,  just go to the extremes for these things.  There's other things which can be considered annoying but ha this one is kinda the one that gets me. Do note: When I have people over, this isn't really an issue. It's just something that occurs when I'm alone doing things for myself.

 

 

 

 

Thanks for reading this week's newspaper. Feel free fre suggest any additions for next week's edition on a post below. :)

 

Hello everyone,

As of today, we've officially been online for 1 month! We've also coincidentally broken our max player count today by reaching over 500 players online, which is incredible for only a month of uptime. 

We've experienced major growth in the past month, and it goes without saying that we could not have done it without the constant support from all of you. We've had our ups and downs, but overall the past month has been a great experience that I hope all of you have enjoyed. I personally want to let you know that I am grateful for not only the patience that all of you have had while we dealt with issues, but also for helping to better our server and community on a daily basis, whether it be through bug reports and suggestions have been frequently posted, or simply welcoming new players and answering basic questions for them.

On behalf of the staff team, I'd like to take a moment to thank all of you for being a part of Alora and helping to shape our community into what it is today, and I am excited for what the future holds :)

Some media from events today:

Regards,

Omicron

It's just not cool how most of the asked questions in Help CC go unnoticed

 

 

I think this triggered me the most personally, there was 2 supports and an army of staff hunters spamming to join help cc, but when i asked a question it seemed like I was talking in an empty room.

I AGREE that people being helpful in yell isnt nessecarily a bad thing, but it seems the majority of them could be replaced by a server broadcast, that's how repetitive they are.

I know other servers have help cc's that you are put into on login, which if implemented, could save us from the unending yell spam from what seems to be people simply wanting a badge next to their name.

Since Elvemage successfully got support and then moderator by preforming this routine (please dont see this as an evaluation of him personally, rather an observation of what i deem the catalyst for what we are now experiencing) many people have started to replicate his method of just spamming yell with what feels like a copy pasted message.

I understand the need for moderators but promoting people after half a day of mild helpfulness just encourages this behavior. Yesterday i witnessed 5 people with back to back messages all basically giving the exact same spiel, "enable 2FA, make sure you vote and join help cc"

I'm far from the only person frustrated and annoyed by this.

Might be a difficult one, but do it for the vine: "Loot from 100 Mystery Boxes"?  :)

I challenge you.

Will definatly keep this in mind! Thanks for the suggestion :)
