Hello everyone, welcome to this month's edition of the Alora Newspaper.

 

We’ve had some pretty exciting updates this month with the Theatre of Blood rework, you can read all about them here. As some of you may know, our beloved Mack has gone into retirement. With this change, I will now be taking over the newspaper.

In other news, we hope those who celebrated the 4th of July had some fun this month. We wish a happy 4th of July to our players located within the United States. We also wish an Eid Mubarak to everyone who celebrated the event. Without any further ado let’s kick off the paper!

Theatre of Blood rework, New RuneLite Plugins & More - July 25th, 2020

 

Alora PvM League Results - July 19th, 2020

There has been only one update to the rules this month.

 

Rule 2.e: Advertising 

Spoiler

Date & time of updated rule: July 6th, 2020

Updated section: Rule 2. Advertising 

Time or date that the updated rule(s) will be put into effect: Immediately

Part(s) added, changed or removed:

 

Added:

 

• e. Players are only allowed to publicly advertise clans on the World Yell & Forums, if the clan is directly related to Alora only. A clan that is associated with other Runescape Private Servers will be considered a private clan (may not advertise on Alora). Advertising private clans that are associated to other Runescape Private Servers will not be tolerated at Alora.

 

Brief Explanation: Whilst we value our clans, we will not tolerate blatant advertising/discussion of other servers, either in their clan chats or, their discord. Our priority here, is to communicate our concerns & work with clans to combat this. If needed &, as a last resort, we will resort to punishments.

This month we will be interviewing: Kaamea, Code 002, and MT.

 

Let's start off with Kaamea...

 

gim deathkid: What are your plans now that you're maxed XP?

Kaamea: The main goal, for now, is to get a 5th twisted bow as drop, so everyone in our team could have their own and of course passively try to obtain some cool pets.

 

gim deathkid: What does it feel like to be on the greatest GIM team ever to exist on Alora and does it help your dating life? (Question submitted by TenFour).

Kaamea: It feels absolutely amazing and as of right now, no it hasn't helped me yet in my dating life unfortunately.

 

gim deathkid: MT would like to know the story behind you being the head of the Veteran team. Could you possibly give us some insight on this?

Kaamea: I seen someone use that title on a different RSPS, if I'm not wrong his name was Fergus. I used to play a RSPS where the veteran rank was held more superior than staff rank, so kinda ripped it off from there, but overall it is just a meme.

 

gim deathkid: Where does the name "Kaamea" come from?

Kaamea: I was looking for a new name for my Runescape account around 2012 or so. Might be confusing the year, but who cares, and I was mainly looking for a unique name and just came across the word. It honestly describes my personality well too "grisly".

 

Next up, Code 002!

 

gim deathkid: Can you walk us through your emotions of watching Classic get the Inquisitor’s plateskirt right in front of you?

Code 002: I knew this was going to happen..... Mans RNG is absolutely fking bonkers at NM, I don't really know what I was expecting tbh. What's worse is that we were LITERALLY talking about it waiting for "that kill" to spawn.... Soon as I saw the announcement, my heart sank slightly. Idek what my drop was I just logged out, silenced Discord, Played "The Ghost of You" by My Chemical Romance, and opened up WOW. Of course after blocking Classic for a solid day.

 

gim deathkid: What do you plan on grinding once you’re done with The Nightmare?

Code 002: Well I'm really trying to simultaneously Comp and just get the first set of Inquisitor's on an Ironman Game mode. But after NM, I'd have to say the next two options I'm thinking is either The Gauntlet or CoX. Havn't done that many CoX, recently learned how to solo and was getting the hang of it for those few days.

 

gim deathkid: We’ve had a lot of QoL updates recently, which one do you like best? If you could add another QoL update, what would it be?

Code 002: Honestly my most liked recent QoL would 100% have to be the entirety of Runelite. I spent a good chunk of time using it during OSRS's Twisted League. So having all of these plugins and the plethora of QoL tools makes me feel at home. Now for a QoL I would like to have added is not really a QoL? I just want

Spoiler

DYNAMIC RAIDS 1 REWORK & Nightmare Instances@Omicron :)

 

gim deathkid: What are your long-term goals on Alora? Do you plan on going for max XP?

Code 002: I've always had a fancy for the collection log, so I might pursue that. I'm a man of smaller goals and will usually change my mind last minute before I start another grind.

 

Last but not least, MT...

 

gim deathkid: What made you stay on the staff team for so long?

MT: I wanted to be the person that players come to when they need help with anything in the game. Also because being Head Server Support helped me be a positive role model for other server supports. I provided them the tools to excel and rise up in the staff team, and it makes me happy to see how much they have grown since joining the staff team.

 

gim deathkid: Do you feel like your role as a Server Support has helped your experience on Alora?

MT: I definitely feel my role as a Server Support has helped my experience on Alora. I feel that I had a positive influence in the community and that’s all I can ask for. I also learned a lot along the way, and met some awesome people.

 

gim deathkid: What does your next chapter include now that you have left Alora? Do you have any plans/goals IRL? 

MT: Now that I have more free time on my hands due to finishing uni a while back, I’m looking to do videos again on my main YouTube channel. I’m not going to do content on “Moral Alora” anymore as I don’t have much interest to play the game these days. As for IRL, I hope to eventually find a better job so I can leave my retail job that I’ve had for over 5 years. Job searching during a pandemic can be quite difficult, without a doubt.

 

gim deathkid: What was your favorite piece of content on Alora?

MT: Flower Poker tournaments on Fridays was pretty fun to do. Was the only way to play FP as staff, and I’ve only won one tournament once because Moe planted for my GIM lol.
