June 4th Changes:

• Drop rate boost removed:
  • After receiving feedback from players, the drop rate boost was unnecessary for a realistic game mode, and posed a risk of increased item flow to the normal game economy (through killing Realism players) which is not necessary. Thus, we've removed this boost.
• Launch time change:
  • We've decided to make the release time earlier, it will still be this Friday (7th of June), but will be at 12pm (noon) EST rather than 9pm. This is 4pm server time!
    • This will give participants the full weekend to level up and get a good start on the competition.
• Clarification on in-game restrictions:
  • Bloody keys and Wilderness supply chests (also being released this Friday) will initially be unavailable to Realism players for the tournament. This will be polled after the tournament.

 

Hello everyone,

We're excited to announce Alora's upcoming game mode! Realism mode will be the most challenging of the game modes we've released as of now, and will appeal to only the most dedicated of players. This game mode will also bring a fresh, new economy into the game, as well as a new highscores, where you'll have a chance to start from scratch and be the first to obtain the rarest items and reach the top of the leaderboards. We've included all of the specifics below. The game mode will be released at approximately 12pm EST / 4pm Server time, this Friday (7th of June, 2019).

We're also announcing another $1,500 USD PvP tournament, which will come out along with Realism mode! We're looking forward to hosting this competition and seeing how players progress throughout the week, as they grind to get their levels up and obtain the best gear for the tournament.


Realism mode details:

• 2x XP rate
• Trading only allowed between Realism mode players
• Unique armour
• Unique realism-only sword with slightly higher bonuses than an Abyssal whip.
  • This will be released after the tournament.
• XP boost restrictions:
  • Vote books cannot be stacked.
  • Vote books can only be used once every 12 hours.
  • Booster scrolls can only be used once every 3 hours.
• Other restrictions:
  • Bloody keys and Wilderness supply chests will be initially unavailable to Realism players, and will be polled after the tournament.

$1,500 PvP Tournament:

• The tournament will run from Friday, the 7th of June at 12pm EST / 4pm Server time, and run until the 16th of June (Sunday), lasting a total of 9 days. The exact time of the tournament on the 16th will be announced in the near future, along with registration to confirm that you will be attending the tournament.
• Only Realism players can participate in this tournament, and those who participate will be entered into a tournament bracket where they will fight their way through the ranks.
  • At the end of the tournament, the top 3 players will be rewarded.
• Rewards:
  • 1st. $1,000 USD
  • 2nd. $300 USD
  • 3rd. $200 USD
• Payment methods:
  • Winners can choose to be paid through PayPal or Alora tokens/bonds, with those choosing tokens receiving 50% more in tokens.

Other details:

• Bonus experience (50%) will be provided upon release, and through to the end of Saturday (7th to the end of the 8th) on the first weekend.
• Donator ranks cannot be transferred to Realism accounts until the tournament has concluded.

We hope to see all of you participating in the tournament and the new game mode! Good luck to those of you who do participate in the tourney :)

With the new game mode releasing, isn't it perfect time to retire 'Classic' game mode?

 

Good luck to everybody that's going to participate on the tourney!

Since this mode is still up for debate and being revised.

 

 

My suggestions: Remove the PK tournament  Instead of removing the pk Tournament, adjust the amounts. And add tournaments for skillers, because at this current moment its attracting nothing but pkers who will play the mode just to xfer items, or play the tournament then quit.

 

Resolution: Add Tournaments for skillers with this mode, $100 ($200 bond) to first person to get a 99 (non combat skill) on mode. $50($100 bond) to first person to get a pet on this mode (with proof), $400 ($800) bond to first person to get 200m in ANY non com bat skill on this mode 

 

etc. That way it pleases not only pkers aswell as skillers. Maybe even pvmers? first person to complete a godsword set or get an ags, or a sigil anything.

 

Also no one really needs to win all that money from a pk tourny imo

 

Btw, if you take my suggestion and adjust it. 1 a little shoutout would be nice, 2 I really would enjoy if the modes items would be lost on death or cannot be dropped at all to prevent people from droptrading/kill-trading

[Exmark]

Hmmm x2 is quite the challenge looking forward to it x4 has been a grind itself

@Iron Engage 

 

We are planning on announcing some skilling competitions (they should be posted tomorrow) such as the ones you mentioned, but those will be for for token prizes and there will be many of them.

 

The tournament itself has many factors aside from the PvP aspect as well, since your chance of winning also relies on how dedicated you are in levelling up and obtaining the right equipment for the tournament. Choosing your time wisely and figuring out which skills to train and which monsters to slay is vital in this tournament. Of course, combat is still a big part of it, but you can increase your chance of winning by focusing on the other non-combat aspects.
