We are back with another edition of the Alora Newspaper. It's been a pretty intresting week for Alora, please read here to find out why.
Omicron was on fire this week with his updates, here are just some of them.
Combat/wilderness changes:
We've reworked the way the formula which determines whether you will hit or not works, The formulas overall were inaccurate and have been tweaked to be more similar to OSRS. This includes special attack accuracy which has also been reworked.
Improved item switching
Fixed item "flashing" for too long and double flashing as if you clicked it twice
Changed the way multi-combat works:
You can now attack other players in multi even if you are in single
X-Log timer increased
If you get attacked while in combat and close your client, you will stay logged in for 30 seconds
Ring of Dueling now works:
Teleport to Duel Arena, Castle Wars or Clan Wars
Wall safes added:
Available in the Rogue's den for players with level 50+ thieving:
Steal between 1-3.5k coins as well as a 12.5% chance of receiving a random gem!
When leaving instances(Kraken/cerberus/zulrah) your health/spec/etc will no longer be restored
Snow has been added to the client
This can be disabled by typing ::snow and relogging or changing regions. This option will save on logout.
This week the punishments for RWT were updated aswell as a new rule for fraud was added, please review them and get to know the new punishments and rule.
6. Real World Trading
First Offense (Selling) - Permanent Ban | Second Offense - IP-Ban
First Offense (Buying) - 7 Day Ban with items wiped (Cash/Items that were traded) | Second Offense - Perm Ban | Third Offense - IP-Ban
20. Fraud
Fraud is any sort of intentional wrongful deception of staff members intended to result in person/financial gain. Punishment can be issued to any player who breaks this rule given that there is proof beyond reasonable doubt(to be determined by the staff member issuing the punishment). This includes, but is not limited to:
a. Lying to staff members about losing items due to a bug.
b. Falsely accusing other players of breaking a rule that results in the punishment of that player.
There were a couple of changes to the staff team this week.
The following promotions happened.
F 8 has been promoted to global mod.
Jupiter has been given the rank forum mod, as he suddenly found time for Alora.
Calvin has been promoted to server mod.
Udead has been promoted to server support.
This week's player of the week has been extremly helpful and active amungst the community and is someone who has been chosen by multiple staff members not just myself for this prize. We'd like to congradulate Diva on winning this week's player fo the week award.
Diva will recieve a bond ingame. Please pm me when you get the chance for details.
This week the person we interviewed was our Community Manager Blank, read as we get to know him better.
What pet would you love to have?
Used to have a dog a couple of years ago, due to moving and current living space (being in dorms) I currently do not have the ability to have one anymore. Though I'd love to have one again.
What sports do you enjoy doing?
Used to be on the basketball team, and on the baseball team. No longer play any of these sports due to my social life and other activities but these were my main activities a couple of years ago.
What's your one biggest pet peeve?
The most annoying thing I find would be people who can't think things through using information given to them. In other words, people who lack common sense.
What's your one annoying habit?
Not doing my dishes when I'm done eating I guess. Sometimes I am someone who enjoys having a clean place, but other times I just don't bother at all. Very bipolar in this sense, just go to the extremes for these things. There's other things which can be considered annoying but ha this one is kinda the one that gets me. Do note: When I have people over, this isn't really an issue. It's just something that occurs when I'm alone doing things for myself.
Thanks for reading this week's newspaper. Feel free fre suggest any additions for next week's edition on a post below. :)
