Were you as inactive as it seemed? or was there more going on behind the scenes?

Also - thoughts on demoted/resigned staff members becoming more opinionated, unfiltered, and or outspoken than when they were on the staff team

I messaged Blank and the higher admins and got no response. So I'll never know, but my guess is they thought I was too "immature" and I was too outspoken about some aspect of the game. E.G Garbage Combat System.

To answer your second question, I think it's alright; but one particular ex-staff member was being extremely butt hurt about his demotion (not going to name who) but you get the idea. My point is, sure feel free to express your opinions; just don't be a bitch about it. As for me, I remain the same person I was before/after I was promoted/demoted.

 

EDIT: As the reason for my inactivity was losing interest towards the game. 

I can be the candidate for PVP related issues. I'm fairly knowledgeable PVP wise.

In light of the recent community feedback saying that, there are barely any staff online during particular hours. I urge you all to read this thread carefully.

 

First and foremost, Discord is a very popular FREE voice chat/messaging application. It has a user friendly UI; all of the staff members uses it. At any moment at least 1 staff member will be on the Alora discord. So you can be sure that your enquiries will go through when messaging us via discord. Once we see it, we'll get to it ASAP.

So how do you join the Alora discord you may ask?

It's quite easy! Simply type ::discord in game to receive an invitation, accept the invitation and you'll be in the channel.

However it is definitely a last resort type of action to message us on discord. 99% of the time you can get a fairly fast reply by using our forums under the Support Section, Report a Player Section and the Appeal section. I urge all of you to use the forums as it has a lot of information that may help you. It will save both your time and ours. Please realize that we are normal people with responsibilities, understand that Alora isn't our life. We are passionate players that volunteered as staff members.

What you can pm us on Discord:

Players that are negatively affecting the in game community. These people are but not limited to the following

 

• Advertisers
• Spammers
• Technical Difficulties (Although, we strongly suggest you post it on the forums. Only pm us if your request is overdue.)

What you shouldn't pm us:

 

• In game content related question
• Appeal applications

Yeah.. So drops need increased.. lol

Your logic is extremely flawed. Because there's not a lot of people doing raids, the drop rate needs to be increased?...

Drop rates definitely need buffed, and it's rather difficult to find a team now due to leechers and people simply are not doing raids because of how low the drop rates are..

That's the problem within the community itself, not the drop rate. People have gone 100 raids dry on the live server. 

On Alora Discord btw ROFL
