Hello everyone,
Christmas is almost here! And on Alora, if you’re not already in the Christmas spirit, you definitely will be with this update. If you were here last year, you’ll remember the Alora Christmas giveaway, and you’ll be happy to hear that it’s back again this year! You’ll be able to purchase tickets for the giveaway for a chance to win 1 of 10 IRL prizes. Additionally, Santa’s in need of some help to deliver presents this Christmas and has some enticing rewards if you’re willing to help him.
- Christmas giveaway:
- As our way of getting into the Holiday spirit, and to show our gratitude to all of your continued support over the past 2 years, we’ve decided to host another giveaway with IRL prizes this holiday season!
- You can enter in-game by purchasing tickets from Haris at home (leaning on Well of Goodwill).
- Tickets cost 25m GP each, and each player (or household if multiple people play from your house) can only have 25 tickets at most. This is very important, if your name is drawn and we find that you’ve purchased more than 25 tickets on multiple accounts you will be disqualified.
- The drawing will be on January 1st, 2019 at 09:00 EST.
- Prizes are unlocked as everyone collectively hits milestones.
- Prizes:
- Guaranteed prizes: 7 different Alora hoodies will be given out!
- 5b milestone: HyperX Cloud II Gaming Headset
- 10b milestone: GTRacing Gaming Chair
- 30b milestone: Nintendo Switch
- You can enter in-game by purchasing tickets from Haris at home (leaning on Well of Goodwill).
- FAQ:
- How many people will win?
- Assuming the full 30b gets donated, there are 10 prizes for 10 players. 3 top prizes listed above, and then the 7 hoodies.
- Can the same person win multiple items?
- To make it fair for everyone, if the drawing lands on the same person twice, there will be a re-roll. To make this fair, the top 3 prizes will be drawn first, and then the hoodies drawn afterwards.
- Can anyone enter?
- Yes, anyone can enter, including staff.
- If it reaches 30b for the Nintendo Switch, can the other prizes still be won?
- Yes, if the 30b is reached, all 3 prizes are rewarded, as well as the 7 sweaters. If only 10b is reached, the first two prizes and the sweaters will be rewarded.
- What if I win but do not want the prize?
- You can also take the cash equivalent of the prize(via PayPal), or 1.5x the equivalent in Alora tokens.
- I have a brother/sister who also plays, can we each enter 25 times?
- Unfortunately, there is a cap on the number of tickets and it is set at 25 per household. This is to ensure everyone gets a fair chance and that nobody is cheating. We will be looking into the winners to make sure that they fairly purchased their tickets.
- How will the winner be picked?
- A random number will be picked, which will correlate to an entry on a list of names. Your name will appear on the list as many times as you’ve purchased tickets, meaning the more tickets you purchase the more likely it is to land on your name.

- Beach boxing gloves are now tradable.
- Classics will no longer receive reduced GP from money caskets.
- 3rd Age has been removed from all Mystery boxes, but has been made slightly easier to obtain from Clue scrolls.
