Omicron,

 

SS Omicron? I still wonder to this day. One of, if not the best owner of a RuneScape Private Server that I have come across in my time being in the RuneScape Private Scene (2007). The amount of hard work, time and effort you put into Alora is extraordinary. Granted, you have had an amazing staff team by your side, but what you have done here as a solo developer is spectacular. Of course, it would be great to have another developer by your side, but I'm fully aware of how hard it is to find one who is decent, motivated, trustworthy...Not to mention there generally isn't many freelance developers around anymore anyhow. I'm unaware of what happens behind the scenes, however, one thing I'm fully aware of is that the communication between you and the rest of the staff team is fantastic, which is great to hear. Let's not forget how much you give back to the community as well, such as providing real life money and other real life rewards in events. You're no required to do that, so it's a lovely gesture and very generous of you to do so. Another thing I'm fond of, is that when you're online on the forum I notice you actively browse the suggestions section. That's really cool, I'm glad to know that you are interested in reading and looking for new content ideas for Alora, and not just relying on the staff team to tell you to add this and that or remove this and that from the game (a lot of owners of RuneScape Private Servers are like that). You're not the typical owner of a RuneScape Private Server who relies on the staff team to do everything for you, while you just bring out new content once in a blue moon and then go idle and hope to receive donations, and that's what I love most.

Not necessarily cons, but things I would very like to see start happening, perhaps from the rest of the community as well - bugs and content already suggested and accepted. I'm aware you like to integrate new content from Old School RuneScape as soon as possible, as well have Alora be the first RuneScape Private Server to have this and that, but I feel Alora is in need of a whole month where nothing but bugs are being squished and content already suggested and accepted be worked on. I joined in December 2017, and I'm still continuously facing bugs from when I first started playing to play, as well as see community members suggesting content which has already been suggested and accepted from many, many months ago - even up to a year ago. There is a pinned thread in the suggestions section, which contains a big list of already suggested and accepted suggestions. Granted, a majority of them are diminutive, but it would all eventually add up and make a difference in the game. So many quality of life ideas in the list that would certainly eventually add up and make a difference in the game.

Your communication between you and the rest of the community is good when it comes to the game itself, but other than that it is very limited, in my opinion. There are understandable reasonings for this though, and we are all aware of that. I would, however, love it if you ever had spare time on your hands and found the time to make little more interaction with the community. It doesn't have to be anything too big, it could be something such as chilling at home with players for 15 minutes every other day, hosting a Q&A here on the forum every few months, or even turning up at a weekend event for a short period of time.

Again, the two paragraphs above aren't necessarily cons, just things I would very like to see start happening. Consider them suggestions more than feedback.

Solid thread man. I think Omicron should take a few days to focus only on the bugs that has been reported and clean a little bit up the section and a little bit more communication with the players wouldn't hurt anyone.

A solid feedback thread for sure, and when it comes to your bug and accepted suggestions “con” I totally agree just working on these for a month would be pretty beneficial.

Excellent feedback, I especially agree with the suggestions paragraph.

I highly appreciate the feedback! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to write it out :) I'd just like to add that although I try to do my best, the staff team plays a huge role in the smooth functioning of Alora, and a lot of what they do is behind the scenes and goes unnoticed. I would be way too overwhelmed to push out updates at anywhere near the pace that I do if it weren't for them keeping the show running.

 

There is definitely a full update coming where it'll be primarily bug fixes and QOL, just haven't gotten around to it with the recent updates from OSRS and the time it took to implement GIM.

...And thank-you for taking the time out of your day to read my feedback given to you, as well as responding to it. I'm certainly sure near enough the whole staff team works behind closed doors, but without a doubt they do so much more than I or anyone else in the community expects. You have a fantastic staff team by your side, Omicron.

 

Looking very forward to that update patch. Again, thank-you for the reading and responding.

It was a nice read to see all the feedback that you have for Omicron, as well as him replying to your post. He is indeed a very busy man, major props to him for keeping Alora running and pushing out more updates and bug fixes each month. :)

I Wanna thank all of the staff team for being awsome ! And thanks to you for all the kind words u spoke in this thread. (We should have more players like you)
Special thanks goes to Omi for being such a good owner !

Kind Regards,

Iron Stylez

Beautil read Fine China , I think the feedback you have provided today was bang on the money. I'm glad someone has spoken the truth when it comes to providing feedback for members on the staff-team. Gj.

 

We're all very grateful for what Omicron does & the amount of time and dedication he has towards his beloved server. I've seen many owners throughout my years of playing Private servers, & Dan defiantly takes the #1 spot for how well he manages his time, and his server.

 

Big hopes for this year.

This was quite a well-written read Fine China , couldn't agree with you more on many of the points you've touched on.

 

Always nice to see these threads where the community can interact with the faces that work behind the scenes to help Alora run smoothly. :)
