Hello everyone,   As of last week, Alora is officially 10 years old! It's surreal to think that Alora has been around for an entire decade -- a milestone we never dreamed we'd reach when we first opened our doors on November 4th, 2016. What was even more unexpected was the incredible community that has formed here in that time, and seeing how many friendships have been created over the years as a result. Many players have even met each other IRL through this community, and I'm sure some of those will be life-long friendships. I've said it before and I'll say it again: this is the greatest community of players I've seen on an RSPS, and that holds truer today than ever.   We've been through a lot together throughout the years, but no matter what challenge we were presented with, you stuck around, gave feedback, reported bugs and kept the community alive, and that loyalty is the exact reason why we're still here after so many years. It's crazy to think that some of you started playing as teenagers and are now adults with full-time jobs and perhaps even families of your own, and yet still find time to log into the game and to be a part of the community.   I'd like to give a huge thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey and who has helped to shape Alora into what it is today: whether you're a staff member (past or present), someone who has reported many bugs or made great suggestions, or simply someone who enjoys logging in and catching up with some friends while you chop down some trees. Whether you've been with us since day one or have only joined recently, thank you for being a part of this community :withlove:    With that being said, I'd like to congratulate everyone on ten years of Alora -- here's to many more! As long as you're still here enjoying the game, we'll keep doing our best to make the experience better and better. Your support is what keeps us doing what we do, and seeing that you're still here after an entire decade means more to us than you know.   Notes: Make sure to check out the 10 Year Anniversary Event below, with tons of items up for grabs!

Hello everyone, To coincide with our 10-year anniversary and our recent Sailing release, we thought it would be a great time to release an updated Infographic! We always enjoy looking at this data, and hope you find it interesting as well :)   Note: Unlike previous Infographics, Classic mode counts are now separated from Normal counts. In addition, we've included Mobile Ironman counts despite it being a legacy game mode that can no longer be selected.     Big thanks to @[member=Pase] for designing these infographics, and to @[member=H] for helping to collect data!   Best regards, Omicron
