Realism mode

Do not support. If merging the eco is such a success, why hasn't classic grown exponentially? I don't really play anymore, and could care less either way. If you want suggest anything, try suggesting a shop rework.

This suggestion is what happens when staff take a joke way too fucking far.

 

You know the proverb... A frog in a well knows nothing of the sea?

You basically went around asking different frogs in different wells, what they don't like about the sea.

Then, you took their input and as evidence to support your claim about the sea.  Without ever actually talking to any Realism players. 

 

Anyways, let's break down some of these frogs' reasoning.

 

1. 'I want Normie Eco on realism, because I don't like the Realism Eco on Realism.'  @Lunchy @N @Ivy

It's pretty simple.  You come to a new place.  Then you respect the new place's rules. 

All the items on the Realism eco were earned by players playing under the same 2x xp rate rules.

This was well established at the very start of Realism.

Introducing items earned under a different set of rules is not going to improve the game.  It's only cheating the game and its players.

 

When you embark on the Realism journey, you're essentially signing up for a marathon.  Walk the walk.

Don't try to sneak a motorcycle into the marathon.  The whole point of the marathon is to do it on your own 2 feet with other people playing by the same rules.

If you want a normie game mode with slow xp rate, go suggest fresh start Alora world with 1x xp that merges with normie in half a year.

Start a new competition and see how many people are interested. 

Don't go around trying to change the pre-established marathon rules and fucking it up for all the other past, present, and future marathon gamers.

 

2. 'A few people basically run the economy'

Uhh... another baseless claim...

When you start realism, you get 8 items to contribute to the economy (slots in the TP).  Donating will allow you to contribute more items.  Alternatively, you can put items in on another account's TP.

Naturally, players who have played the longest will have more surplus items to contribute to the economy.  That does NOT mean they run the economy. 

No one is being forced to buy from the TP at outrageous prices.  The items on the TP are meant to be on the high end like a vending machine.

This way they don't sell out right away, allowing player continuous, quick, but costly access to key items.  Can't afford it?  Spend the time getting it yourself.

It's basically an advertisement board.  Private message me with a counteroffer if you need this item. I have extras.

 

To those that think a few people basically run the economy, please provide some actual evidence.  Especially if you're current or ex-staff.

I'm one of those people that sell super restores in the TP for 100k each.  If you think it's overpriced, don't buy from me.

Why don't you go sell the same product at a more affordable price then?  That's how an economy works.

If a new player messaged me asking for some prayer potions, I wouldn't think twice and would just trade over 28 noted potions.  It's not even about the money.

 

You ever wonder what would happen if I listed my super restores at normie price on the realism market?   They'd be bought up real quick by the first person to see it.  

Plus, I'd barely get any compensation for the time it took me to make them.  I could easily make more money just thieving elves, so it makes no sense for me to make pots and then sell it at normie price.

If you think you're the expert on prices, why don't you tell me how much you think realism potions should cost?  Instead of complaining of inflated costs, tell me what an acceptable cost is.

 

Honestly, it's pretty simple.  If you put the item in the trading post, you get to determine how much it costs to withdraw it.

No one is forcing people to buy your stuff.  It's a free market.  Don't want to buy something, go get it yourself. 

Supply is limited to realism players.  No ironmen dropping their dupes into your market.

Don't like how there are so few suppliers?  Why don't you become a supplier yourself?

 

3. 'Only a few people are keeping it alive right now, because new people don't want to join it.'

Where's your proof that only a few people are keeping it alive?  I have a whole realism discord to prove otherwise.

Let's compare and see who's evidence is more reliable.  Perhaps the real reason new people don't want to join is from lack of support from the server.

The server has been pushing leagues -> gim -> HC gim.  There hasn't been ANY staff leadership in the realism department.  

Instead, staff has been constantly making merge realism jokes for years now... 

Perhaps the real reason, there aren't as many new realism players... is because the staff team does a terrible job at encouraging it.

They just joke around, spreading gossip about merging Realism.  

 

Besides, what's your evidence?  You talked to a dozen people who play other game modes and asked them what they don't like about realism?

 

How many people are keeping HC GIM alive?  Should we merge that too?  No, because the game mode's rules were well establish on release.

 

4. 'It bothers me when people buy Realism GP with Normie GP'. 

What's the problem?  Swapping between game modes is on OSRS too.

How does buying Realism GP bother you, but not buying GIM Bank?

If you don't like it, just don't do it.  Even on normie, people swap real life currency for in-game gp via custom donation.  So what? 

 

Question for you...

You mentioned realism is the best game mode, but you failed to provide any reasoning.  Why do you think realism is the best game mode?

 

You mentioned that you talked to 'long term realism players.'  Which long term realism players did you talk to? 

 

Which long term realism player told you that shops is main reason against realism merge?

Because I can think of a dozen better reason why a merge would be bad.  Starting with it ruins the integrity of the game.

Videos from previous drop parties:

What is your suggestion?: Reduce Nex and Nightmare spawn timers from what they are currently (60 seconds I believe) to around 20-30 seconds.

Is this in OSRS?: I think they're around 30 seconds on OSRS, maybe someone can confirm.

Has this suggestion been accepted already?: Not that I know of.

How would this benefit Alora?: Faster kills for players doing repeat kills. Don't have to waste a lot of time standing around doing nothing.

Sweet dreams

 

 

Hi on Halloween   

Headless Whore, rumor has it she has more hair than @Lowkey underneath those trousers..

 

Shout out to all the real OG's who have Eek from 2018 Halloween event

All this time we've been waiting on those slayer helms coming with combat achievements. And ma man decides to add them to the store as a quick money grab. Really dissapointed. Rainbow ankou looks kinda sick too but thought we were trying to stay classy and not go the custom item route (same with the monkeys wth man).

Incredibly disappointed to see the Combat Achievement helms come from a cash grab rather than something actually based on PVM skill or dedication. They're meant to be symbols of accomplishment, not something anyone with $75 or $100 can obtain.

@gim supor Thanks bud!

@Arosa Thanks!

@Moe Thank you kind sir and thanks for being a great help in-game. You're the man!

Hello guys my name is 1in35rates but most people know me as Vespina I am the dude that has done 500000000000 raids on multiple accs combined with this new accuracy change and stuff thought I might come back and play around a bit if you remember who I am feel free to pm Ingame :)

I understand back in October 2020, @Realism mode got the plank making price reduced for EIM/GIM/Realism accepted in this thread https://www.alora.io...-spell-cheaper/ but i want to further talk about the reasons why and how to ​implement this feature into the game in other ways.

 

Along with my own train of thought i did my best asking around other community members on their opinions on how we can approach the reduction of price for plank making, but before i get into that i want to talk about why i think it so high in the first place. 

With everybody besides EIM/GIM/Realism having a increased gold earning on Alora it is very easy to accumulate vast amounts of gold and to equal how much gold we gain as a individual and how much things cost things had to be evened out to accommodate for this amount of "cash flow". I understand the other reason why its so high to create this other forms of "money sink" to take gp out of the community to not break to the eco(im not very knowledgeable but this is the best way i look at it correct me if im wrong).

 

From speaking to the community we gathered 3 directions we can take:

• Reduce every bodies plank cost by 30% (not just EIM/GIM/Realism)
• Reduce for IRON modes only by 30%*
• Make Varrock Elite diary perk reduce cost by 30% (@gonzo7 suggestion)

*In regards to ironmen game modes the gp that gets collected most of the time does not enter the "normie" trading circle and is typically used for own gain like buying runes/making potions etc.. So for any iron that needs to make planks they shouldn't take a big hit to their bank that's meant to help keep the "eco control" for trading and overall server economy

 

 

 

Personally, i think this will greatly benefit accounts who are trying to train construction especially ironmen who have to majority of the time make the planks themselves. Please take the time to take this into consideration i do think this is a good step forward and by even mentioning 70% 50% and other amount of reduction we came to the conclusion as a proper median the 30% reduced from all game modes not effected so far is a fair amount for not just the 3 game modes, but all irons even normies if suggestion 1 and 3 are considered.

Got kinda unlucky but got some master caskets saved up for a rainy day. Saw clue bonus on and figured why not. 

 

Couldn't capture the final line of the hard clues and it was magic shortbow, 5 tan cavaliers 2 pirate hats 1 dark cavalier and 16 master clues. I thought master clue rates were better then that but oh well.
