Welcome back to another exciting issue of the Alora Newspaper!

 

 

Since our last newspaper we have seen quite alot of work from our founder Omicron

 

Raids:

Alora became the first server to have fully functional Raids working, more info about that can be found in the following thread with alot of information here.

 

 

Uber Donator Rank:

User's who have donated $2500 or more will see this amazing new rank.

An enhancement to the Legendary donator benefits, with two useful new benefits:

5 items vs. the usual 3 from a raids reward chest

Only 10% of your points are lost on death in a raids session rather than 33% for normal players

 

Donator Shop additions:

Dragon warhammer

Prayer scroll ((You can use this to unlock any one of the new prayers(Preserve, rigour augury)).

Dragon harpoon

 

Voting Changes:

Voting points have been increased to 25 instead of 20 as there are now 5 toplists to vote on rather than 4 (4 minimum to get an auth)

 

Fire Max cape added:

The new Fire Max Cape featuring the moving lava has been added.

 

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

 

More updates:

For a complete list of all the update please check out this thread.

 

 

 

 

We've had some new updates to the rules which will be seen in RED.

 

10. 3rd Party Software

 

We will not tolerate cheating of ANY kind as we know that it causes unfair advantages over other members that are attempting to play the server through fairness. We will do our best to enforce this and such things includes auto-clicking, cheat clients etc., that help the member gain EXP, cash or other various way of helping them better their experience either faster or unfairly.

 

a. Autoclicking: First Offence - 5 hour ban | Second Offence - 24 hour ban | Third Offence - Permanent Ban

b. Botting Clients: First Offence - Permanent Ban | Second Offence - IP-Ban

• Playing on multiple accounts at once while participating in the same activity is prohibited (PK'ing on two accounts or more at the same time is allowed unless one is aiding their-self in any way, such as using a different spellbook, multi-fighting, etc.). 

 

11. Player Vs. Player (PvP)

Alora is not held responsible for members who have lost, disconnected etc., while in the wilderness. Listed below are the few rules on Alora regarding the wilderness specifically. 

a.PVP-Farming will be an automatic permanent ban with no chance of appeal. Second Offence will be an IP-Ban

b. X-Logging from the server is a banable offence, as this causes an unfair advantage for other members of the community.

c. Luring players into the wilderness will be an automatic permanent ban with no chance of appeal. Second Offence will be an IP-Ban

d. Ragging will not be tolerated in Edgeville on Alora as it negatively affects our PvP community overall. Our definition of a ragger is one who consistently attacks other players without true intentions of killing them as they purely want to prevent them from participating in PvP. First offence will result in a  5 hour jail. Second offence will be a 24 hour ban. Third offence will result in a permanent ban. All ragging reports must be reported with video proof. 

 

19. Yell

a. Advertising a clan (gambling) through yell will be strictly dealt with and an automatic mute in-game will be given after having already received a warning.

b. Using different colors or crown effects through yell is strictly forbidden.

c. Trolling on yell is prohibited as it only causes frustration for both players and staff. This includes luring over yell, fake giveaways, etc. 

 

 

 

There were changes to the staff team this week.

 

Jare has been promoted to administrator. He'll be helping me with certain tasks, as well as quality checks,and regular administration duties. 

Sux has been promoted to server support.

Flipper has been promoted to server support. 

Mystogan has been promoted to server moderator. 

Beproud (Elvemage) has come back as a server moderator by finishing his duties for school.

Calvin has resigned from his role as a server moderator. We wish him nothing but the best in any future endeavor he wishes to pursue.

 

 

 

This week after consulting with a couple of staff members we have came to the conclution that Syntax is the most accurate winner for the Player of the Week competition. We congradulate him and will be contacting him soon so he can recieve his Bond.

 

 

 

 This week we interviewed Sheep

 

 

 

Jedzio: Well first off thanks for taking time out of the Barn(Get it, cause your name is sheep hahahahaha) for this interview. First question is, Now that you recently got promoted to Server Moderator after quite sometime, how does the transition from Server Support to Server Moderator feel?

 

Sheep: It's different, it feels like a lot more responsibility. I am just very happy to be a server moderator in this community and I'm very excited to help everyone out even more.

 

Jedzio:  That's great, anything you'd like to say to the community regarding what to expect from you?

 

Sheep:You can expect that I will be more serious, because I take this role very serious. Of course I'll still be the same Sheep you all love.  So just expect the same as you always did but a bit more, let's say professional.

 

Jedzio: Awesome man, thanks for taking some time to answer these questions.

 

Sheep: No problem man, always love to read your newspapers.
