Gamers welcome to the December edition of the Alora Times. I had some personal issues last month but
Arosa
did a fantastic job filling in on the paper, and now I am back! We have some great interviews and a lot of spoons and achievements below. So grab you a snack, a blanket, a cup of warm coffee or cocoa and enjoy the read. Also make sure to follow Alora on FB and Instagram above and join the discord.
This month we have a couple great interviews done by
Monaco
! Up first is
Andy
.
Monaco
: What do you do in your spare time apart from play Alora?
Andy
: I have a close group of irl friends I usually hang out with weekly, whether in discord or at someone's house. I am also studying for my computer science degree to become a full stack web developer
Monaco: What are some of your long term targets on here?
Andy
:I recently just finished TOA, the main items I need are sang/scythe, torva helm, and torva platelegs. I am also planning to finish phosani for the inquisitors mace and skirt. After I obtain these items, I will probably chill out and do some pet hunting.
Monaco: What keeps you motivated?
Andy
: I honestly don't know. I feel like I should have been burnt out ages ago. I'm usually multitasking while I play Alora whether it's being in a discord call with my friends or watching shows or twitch streams.
Monaco: What's your favorite moment on Alora so far?
Andy
: My favorite moment is getting Tumeken's Shadow as the last rare that I needed to get all the items I wanted from TOA.
Monaco: Anything in particular you want to see added to, or changed in the game in the future?
Andy
:I'm kind of hoping Osmumten's fang gets tweaked. I've heard a number of people talking about how the rapier is actually stronger.
Monaco: What made you want to stick with Alora for so long?
Andy
:Alora was the first rsps I played, I think one of its best traits is the community. There are so many great friends that I have met.
And up next we have
Hard Dance
!
Monaco: What do you do in your spare time apart from play Alora?
Hard Dance: Apart from going to work, I love to go out and visit a lot of raves/festivals. Music in general is my hobby, so sometimes I even travel long distances from home just to have some fun with a bunch of my IRL friends.
Monaco: What are some of your long term targets on here?
Hard Dance: One long term goal I have set for myself about 1-2 years ago was completing the hard clue scroll collection log including the main 3rd age items. Recently I've completed the regular collection log (without rares) and as of right now I'm only missing four 3rd age pieces so I'm going to continue trying to achieve this almost unachievable goal, but I'm pretty close.
Monaco: What keeps you motivated?
Hard Dance: I think mainly the community over here on Alora. Through all the years I've talked to so many awesome people and joining Aftermath CC also helped me a lot since I can share my own achievements with other dedicated gamers.
Monaco: What's your favorite moment on Alora so far?
Hard Dance: Probably the moment when I achieved 4.6B xp on my main back in 2020. It felt like a big achievement for me at that time since I haven't done anything like that on servers I've played before and I proved to myself that I am able to finish a big grind like this.
Monaco: Anything in particular you want to see added to, or changed in the game in the future?
Hard Dance: Honestly I'm happy with what Alora provides to us, but I'm always down for changes that make Alora feel like we are playing actual OSRS.
Monaco: What made you want to stick with Alora for so long?
Hard Dance:Back in 2018 when I first started playing Alora, I already knew that this server would be the one. The active community, great game features, and a lot of different content that Alora provided way before any other servers did. I just feels right to be here haha.
