Hey guys,
 
Don't worry - contrary to the title, this update mostly consists of bug fixes as well as some new content such as Graceful recolours which were highly requested. We're working on bringing Hardcore Ironman to everyone next weekend if all goes well! If you haven't already, make sure to cast your vote on how you feel the HCIM game mode should feel like: 
 
In other news, the start of the new month means that the vote lists have been reset, and with your help, we'd like to maintain our positions high on the vote lists! 
 
Check out our vote competition for some awesome rewards: 
 
  • The achievement unlock feature on Paul only applies to accounts who have been on Alora for over 10 hours.
    • This means you'll also have to pay 10m to de-iron if you intend to take advantage of it and play as a normal player.
  • Donator benefits fixed for players who have it as a secondary rank:
    • Eg. If you were an Iron
    • man with Uber donator secondary group, you would not be able to purchase black skin, for example, which required Super donator rank.
  • Raids fixes:
    • Enemy hitpoint bars would often "flicker" within the Raids dungeon (going back to full randomly), this has been fixed.
  • Hunting bug fixes:
    • Long overdue, but better late than never!
      • We've fixed the weird box trap dupe issue, as well as the fact that some box traps would never despawn from the world.
        • Proud to say... No more box traps at home!
  • Platinum token bug fixed:
    • If you had more than ~2.1m tokens (2.1b gp) and tried to convert them, you would potentially lose the remainder of your GP over 2.147b.
      • This has been fixed, and the bank booth will only exchange the maximum amount that your inventory can hold.
  • Rules update:
    • Thanks to @Jare, our rules have been entirely refreshed! The links have been updated from the shoutbox as well as the ::rules command in-game. Spam him in-game to give him a big thanks for all of the effort he put into redoing them :)
  • Staff updates:
    • Fixed jail command (bug when other player is online -- offline jailing was working normally)
    • Tempmute command fixed for Server support
  • Bank fix:
    • The core bank code contained a bug which didn't count placeholders as "used" bank spaces, meaning if you had a full bank and deposited an item it might not find a place to store it.
  • Battle royale changes:
    • Vengeance-other has been disabled within the combat area.
    • An option to enable/disable new prayers (raids prayers) has been added -- the administrator who is hosting the battle can toggle this.
    • The battle royale countdown/playercount interface was being moved to the center of the screen on resizable and getting in the way.
      • It should stick to the top of the screen after this update once you restart your client.
    • The ability for admins to give staff members 1k hitpoints has been added.
      • To provide a more even chance for this weekend's Staff vs. World event, we've added this function!
        • Slain staff members will also be announced to the world.
    • Death messages will now appear in Safe mode ("Oh dear, you are dead!" and "<name> did not stand a chance against you."
      • Additionally, The "Battle royale competitor <name> has been slain" will now include the killer's name.
  • Corporeal beast drop rates adjusted:
    • We've tried to keep the rates on Sigils low so that they aren't flooded into the game, but we've noticed a serious lack of drops over the past few weeks.
      • To fix this, we've adjusted the rate as follows:
        • Instead of 1/585 to land on the sigil table, it is 1/485 (in line with other Alora rare drops, which is OSRS rate * 1.23 for the most part)
          • The sigils are still 100% guaranteed once you land on the table, with the same chance/7 as OSRS. (unchanged since last update)
  • De-iron functions fixed for Ultimate ironman:
    • An oversight caused the de-iron function to not work properly for Ultimate ironmen.
      • This has been fixed and tested. There have been no changes to the previous intended mechanics for this.
  • Looting bag change:
    • Some players were confused with how the bag works - even if you have 2 bags and "destroy" one it would empty your looting bag.
      • To prevent confusion, you can no longer pickup a looting bag if you already own one.
  • Skin color fixes:
    • A bug was causing you to not be able to purchase skin colors meant for lower ranks.
    • A separate bug caused your skin to not save even if you could purchase it.
      • There shouldn't be any more issues with skin colors.
  • April fools events:
    • Two events have been added -- one for staff, and one for regular players!
      • We won't get into too much detail on the update thread ;)
  • Item fixes:
    • 3rd Age longsword now works
    • 3rd Age bow now works
    • Anger sword now works
  • Graceful recoloring update:
    • You can now recolor your graceful item by using your marks of grace on any piece that you own.
    • The following colors are available:
      • Purple, blue, gold, red, blue
        • Each piece has its own respective cost to recolour, but ALL colors are the same price for each corresponding piece:
          • Hood - 32 marks
          • Top - 50 marks
          • Legs - 52 marks
          • Cape - 36 marks
          • Gloves - 28 marks
          • Boots - 36 marks
        • (Prices are relative to their original store prices)
    • Only the REGULAR colored sets can be recolored. Once you've chosen a color, you cannot switch it without buying a new plain piece from Grace.

Very nice update. With the exception of a fair amount of big updates, I see a lot of small, technical updates (which is my favorite type of update)! The small things matter the most. It really shows who you are as a developer. Love that you implemented an April Fools event; very original! Cannot wait to see what you came up with. :)

Thank you. We appreciate you very much.
