Happy holidays and welcome to another awesome addition of the Alora Newspaper.

 

 

This week we saw a nice batch of updates from Omicron and our new developer GameDevJason .

 

Miscellaneous:

A portal to leave the Mage arena miniquest has been added

This is due to many people getting stuck inside without runes to fight with Magic

Monkeys can no longer steal from stalls quicker

Stamina potions can now be decanted

Mithril seeds now use the correct OSRS rates for flower spawning(rather than completely random)

New rates :

 

Clanchat fixs:

Although we're not completely done with this, clan chats will now save properly on logout.

We're currently in the midst of testing ranks, and those will be included in the near future.

Purple dots now appear on the minimap for members in your clan

 

Money Casket Rewards

There are now three types of money caskets. The first tier now grants between 50 and 100k, the second tier grants between 75 and 110k and the third tier grants between 100 and 125k. The first tier requires a monster to have between 1-50 combat, the second requires 51 and 150, and the third is anything exceeding that. Any player with a current chest before this update has a tier 3 chest, enjoy! 

 

Coins for Reclaimables on Death

When a player dies in the wilderness with an item on their person that is reclaimable will have 50% of the reclaimable cost dropped in the form of coins for the killer. The purpose of this is to give back some of the money that is leaving the economy so that players that focus on player killing can make more money whilst doing so.

 

 

 

There were two rule updates this week please read below to get to know the new updates.

 

INGAME RULE UPDATE

 

Updated Rule 13. Item Scamming

With new gambling features added we want to ensure the most fair possible enviroment for all participants. 

 

Part Edit/Added: RED

 

13. Item Scamming
 
Any player caught item scamming will be punished. We have a zero toleration policy with this, and take the matter very seriously.

 

a. Members who partake in changing or applying a weapon not originally agreed upon before entering a stake will be punished .

b. By Refunding the Scammed items the punishment CAN BE  reduced.

 

Please note that we will not be accepting photo-reports of members  scamming, it must be a video or it will not be handled.

 

All parties relating to the scam will be punished by the moderating team with punishments as they see fit.

 

(This rule includes interfering with others Gamble or Stake that can alter or hinder an end result)

 

First Offense (Items Refunded) - 7 Day Ban| First Offense (Not Refunded) - Perm Ban | Second Offense - IP-Ban

 

 

This means that from now all players caught trying to interfer with a stake or a gamble(For example standing on someone during a duel in duel arena). Will be punished.

 

 

FORUM RULE UPDATE

 

 

Updated Rule 2. Spamming (Forums)

 

Part Edit/Added: RED

 

2. Spamming

The rule is self explinatory, avoid spamming on the forums. You will recieve an infraction\warning.

 

 

 

There were changes to the staff team this week.

 

Thunder was demoted from his server moderator rank.

 

 

 

This section of the newspaper is one of my favorites to do, it's time to announce which member has been outstanding this week. This week's winner is no different from any of the past winners. He has been helping out extremely well and has been doing it an an ordealy fashion. We would look to announce that Drako has been choosen as player of the week.

 

Drako  will recieve a prize of 10M. Please pm me when you get the chance for details.

 

 

 

 This week we interviewed NexusGod

 

 

 

Thunder: Alora has been on a steady pace since we launched, even though we had some mishaps in the beginning, is there anything you think needs to be changed in order to maintain our current pace and continue to grow?

 

Nexusgod: Yes, Omicron needs to communicate with the player more, I hardly get to see him. There is also times when bugs are here for too long and Omicron has gone silent, this needs to change for this to be fixed.

 

Thunder: I see, well Omicron just hired a new developer so that updates can come out in a faster pace, apart from updates is there anything else you'd like to see?

 

Nexusgod: Yeah, I've seem alot of him around the forums which is awesome to be honest. Having him communicate with us is key for improvements. As to your other question, I feel that donater benefits needs to be readjusted. For example right now as an extreme donator, there are some super donator benefits that I have lost, for example I'm not alerted when my farming patches are done. Something I did have when I was a super donator.
