Hello everyone,

 

 

As we wrap up 2019, we'd like to give you some more insight on what we've got planned for the next little while. These planned updates are tentative and won't follow any sort of schedule, and if OSRS releases some content in between we will likely shift our focus to that before turning our attention back to these updates. Nonetheless, here are a few of the updates we are currently working on and/or have planned:

 

• Achievement diaries:
  • We've completely scrapped the current Achievement system and store and have opted to a brand new Achievement diary based on the suggestions submitted by @Mack. This is the first priority in this development blog as we've already made extensive progress on it. You can see the details here:
    • https://www.alora.io...t-diary-rework/
• Last Man Standing overhaul:
  • As many of you know, Last Man Standing has been non-functional for awhile. We are working to make the necessary changes to match OSRS's updated version of LMS, which essentially gives you gear to start with upon entering. It also includes a brand new reward shop with some great items that will hopefully make the mini-game more popular (see below).
• Chambers of Xeric rework:
  • As the first server to have released CoX way back in 2017, we admittedly have cut some corners in the functionality of the raid for the sake of releasing it in the RSPS world as quickly as possible. Since then, aside from bug fixes, we have not made many advancements to match CoX to OSRS's version. We will be focusing our attention on making the raid more dynamic as it is on OSRS, with the map layout being randomly generated each raid to make it more interesting.
  • This will take considerable time as it is essentially redoing the raid from the ground up, but we believe that it is a piece of end-game content which many will appreciate the extra effort being put into.

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of our goals for 2020 is to provide you with previews of future updates more often to allow you to get a general sense of what's to come, so we hope you'll enjoy that :)

 

Regards,

Omicron & Chad

Big changes are definitely coming in 2020, and I’m looking forward to these changes. Hope to get myself into raids again when the CoX revamp hits.

[Cassidy]

Achievement one looks really nice, would this mean all current points + current rewards will be scrapped?

Hello Brotherman @Omicron, 

First of all thank you so much for all of the work and time you put into Alora.io in 2019. It has been such an amazing year, I never enjoyed playing a game so much as this one. I can't thank you enough for letting us know your future endeavours with the private server. Reading such a beautiful development blog really touches my heart. Looking forward to playing all day, everyday. Wishing you and your family all the best for upcoming 2020, may Alora.io even grow more! 

Kind regards,

 

Peter

I'm really excited about these updates Omi! I do however have a few questions;

- As for the achievement diaries, will the already completed achievements be autocompleted when the update comes through? Or do all accounts start from the beginning, and have to do all achievements again? I don't think I would mind to start all over again, to be honest.

Two examples: I've killed the Kalphite Queen 25 times already. This is something Alora keeps track of in the completion log. However, I'm 100% certain I also pickpocketed the hero 75 times. This is something the game doesn't keep track of, as far as I know. This would probably be a hassle.

- As for the LMS update. I noticed the trouver parchments in the reward shop. Would this mean that untradeables would be lost on death in 30+ wilderness? If so, please notify this like 2742 times, otherwise people will be crying about their lost untradables.

- The CoX update is something we all were waiting for, and I can't wait for that one to happen. Maybe even more than the two others.To be honest, I haven't done CoX in a few months myself, I think.
A good endgame in a game as Alora is very very important!

Thanks for the blog!
