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.
- 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!
- 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.
