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)
  • Sometimes, you would get stuck and be unattackable after clicking a walk-through door (such as the Pirate hut door)
• Rock crabs dormant phase added
  • Rock crabs are now in their "Rock form" and turn into crabs when you get closer to them
• Uber rank benefits:
  • Legendary enhancements:
    • 16 -> 19% chance of obtaining Clue hunter gear
    • 30% Higher chance of obtaining Clue scroll rewards
    • 5 -> 1 second yell cooldown time
    • 4 -> 5 extra PC points
    • 50k -> 60k PC coins reward
    • 35% -> 45% PKP bonus
  • Increased overall drop rate from NPCs:
    • Our drop rate, for the most part, is the same as OSRS's * 1.23.
    • Uber donators will have a boosted rate of 7% on all rare items ( on items < 1.0 drop rate ) ( * 1.30 )
• Twisted bow changes:
  • Twisted bow has been slightly nerfed to better match OSRS rates for both PvM and PvP
• Killcount map changes:
  • The killcount map will now display your kills in descending order (most kill at the top, least at the bottom)
• Boss kill timers:
  • 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.
    • This includes the Raids time record which will now save your personal best.
  • You can open the boss time records in your quest tab
• Corporeal beast changes:
  • Combat mechanic changes:
    • Attacks changed when players are standing under Corp
    • Attack range increased
    • Combat bonuses (Offensive & defensive) increased
    • Damage reduction now applies to the Zamorakian *Spear:
      • Previously, this was applied to the Hasta.
    • Corp's max hit can now go as high as 65 with Magic, to match OSRS. (51 for Melee)
    • Corp will now use magic attacks more often when players are out of reach
  • The Corporeal beast drop rates have been updated to match OSRS:
    • 1/585 chance to hit the Sigil table(guaranteed Sigil):
    • 1/7 chance for Elysian
    • 1/3 chance for Arcane
    • 1/3 chance for Spectral
• Dharok's set bonus has been slightly tweaked to match OSRS's
  • Formula: For every 1 hp lost from your maximum HP, your max hit will be increased by 1 damage.
  • (Slightly increased from the previous formula)
• Miscellaneous fixes:
  • Fixed an issue where adding random names on your ignores list would cause you to crash on next login
  • Fixed client crash when entering Desert pyramid
  • Superior encounters will now appear less often
  • Wilderness ditch jump has been fixed
• Giant mole:
  • Head to Falador Park to enter his cave by climbing into a mole hill:
    • Defeat this burrowing boss for a chance at the never seen before Baby mole pet!
    • The combat is quite simple, but the Giant mole will frequently burrow within the cave and end up on another side
  • Giant mole Slayer task has been added to the Hard tasks
  • The Giant mole will also show up in your boss kill counts / time records
• Mage arena achievement fix:
  • Players who have completed the Mage arena miniquest but not the achievement can simply speak to Kolodion and it should complete their achievement.
• Teleport interface updates:
  • Giant mole teleport added
  • Raids teleport added
