Support to both.

2 more changes I'd like to see are;

Lower the opacity of the green so that you can see what was won - https://i.imgur.com/U5Oy7TG.png

Ability to right click examine/check the stuff in the interface, such as the prizes, or the tile items themselves -

Something like this is already planned(hopefully before end of the year), it will be based around the last infographic (found here).

Just haven't gotten around to it yet due to time constraints, but its in the works.

Welcome to the November & December 2-in-1 edition of the Alora Times! I apologize for not posting a newspaper last month, I hope this one makes up for it!

Very big two months have passed us by with with the release of Leagues which has come to an end, and of course Alora's 8th anniversary, during which we reached a peak player count of 1,351! We hope you enjoyed all the events that we hosted for you. A few weeks ago I asked you for some questions that I can ask Omicron, which I'll be including in the interview section, so I hope you'll enjoy that too.

This month we have a long awaited interview from Omicron. Enjoy the read!

 

held397: will the new herblore minigame and the new pots be coming to alora?

Omicron: While we don’t have an exact release date, development for these updates is pretty much finished, so it won’t be too long!

 

Linkki: When will you add cooking npc?

Omicron: What does cooking mean to you? Do you cook to enhance flavor? To make food safe for consumption? Do you do it for the artistry? These are some important questions to ask yourself when considering the cooking npc dilemma, and you will soon realize why this question has no easy answer.

 

Orangepike: Besides the obvious financial aspects, what are the most rewarding parts of being an RSPS owner?

Omicron: Back in 2008 when I created my first RSPS (which was very rudimentary, mind you — think CheezScape/Moparscape) I really just wanted to modify the world of RS that I had already loved so much, but envisioned slightly differently. I soon had the idea to share this with a few friends, and once I realized that they were also enjoying the game, there was something addictive about being able to create something that others could also appreciate. I also now feel that having built a community that many view as a second home has been deeply rewarding, and it also imbues a sense of responsibility in me to do my best to preserve it.

 

L ucas: Why Java?

Omicron: Simply because the RuneScape game client has (almost) always been written in Java, which was helpful because it isn’t awfully difficult to reverse engineer compared to other programming languages (eg. OSRS’s new C++ client)

 

Folivora: Since the server is almost 8 years old, alot of players have come and go. Do you know how many players from 2016 are still playing to this day? Thanks for this amazing server !

Omicron: I looked it up for you: there are 4,627 players that created their accounts in our first year and managed to log in within the past year. If we include players who registered within the first two years, that number is just about double. Thanks for being a part of Alora!

 

Stay broke: Are there any potential plans to try and populate the PK scene of alora? I understand its mostly down to the players choosing to enter the wild but maybe an actual bounty hunter arena like osrs?

Omicron: Transparently, we have not put as much thought into reviving the PK scenes as we have into improving other areas of the game, but we are not closed off to it. We are always looking at suggestions to see where we can improve, so please do share your suggestions (in the correct forum section).

Gym Leader: We seem to lag behind OSRS content updates, understandably so with a smaller dev team however, has there been any consideration to adding a dev to help streamline the 1:1 content with OSRS we strive for here? Thank you!

Omicron: While we do not currently have plans to add a full-time dev (unless @Moe learns Java soon), we recognize that we have been lagging behind on content and do have plans to stick to streamline our development processes to ensure that content gets out in a timely manner, and we also are planning to offload certain tasks to other devs where we can on future projects as we’ve done a few times in the past (mobile, RuneLite, and another project we have underway have all had help from other devs to speed things up).

Fe Santa: Does Alora live up to the expectations you had when it started?

Omicron: It has far exceeded the expectations that I initially had. RSPS come and go, and I don’t think there really is another server that has had such a consistent and dedicated community for as long as we have. In many ways, I think we’ve set the standard for how stable and healthy an RSPS can be after many years.

Fe Santa: What were some of the biggest obstacles you encountered during development, and how did you overcome them?

Omicron: As some of you know, Alora is unique in the sense that our client is based on the HD client from 2008 RS (Revision 530) which has created some obstacles in adapting and giving players what they’ve come to expect from OSRS / RSPS (for example RuneLite). However, by far our most time-consuming and difficult project was mobile, which required us to invest a tremendous amount of time in learning new technologies to pull it off.

Fe Santa: Current opinions on Sailing in OSRS have a blend of excitement for new adventures and caution about potential impacts on game dynamics and tradition. What are your thoughts on the upcoming new OSRS skill?

Omicron: My personal opinion is that Sailing doesn’t naturally fit the theme or mechanics of OSRS all that well, and it will be difficult for both OSRS and ourselves to pull off. However, we will likely be implementing it into the game unless there is a huge negative reception.

HoldinAP: have you ever thought that you will have mobile going, when OSRS did announcement?

Omicron: We definitely did not consider this to be an option, and we regularly told players that requested it that it is unlikely to happen. In the past 2-3 years, certain newly released browser features made it viable for us to pursue mobile via a web-based app, so we decided to go for it.

Radagon: With the news of jagex potentially releasing their own version of private servers, how do you intend to keep people interested in Alora?

Omicron: While I think it’s a step in the right direction, and will likely be its own niche, I don’t think that it will overtake RSPS. They’ve announced that it will have many toggles to modify gameplay, but it is unlikely to ever have the same level of customization that RSPS does. From my perspective, it seems like it is well-suited for large YouTubers that can pay to host a fun custom world and have their fanbase join, but without the ability to edit maps, interfaces, and items or to be able to write custom code, it simply cannot provide the same experience as RSPS, and it is unlikely that they would release these tools or provide access to the codebase. I think there is space for both RSPS and Project Zanaris to both exist.

Radagon: If Alora were to shutdown for whatever reason, how much notice would you provide the player base?

Omicron: As much as we possibly can. With that being said, we plan to be around for the long haul, and we have proven this by being around for 8 years already with no resets, providing a consistent, long-term experience similar to OSRS.

Radagon: Has there ever been a suggestion that you wanted to implement but didn't? If so, what was it and why?

Omicron: Absolutely, that would be the cooking NPC. In all seriousness though, I try not to get too attached to a certain outcome — we have always tried to shape our updates around players’ suggestions, and we strongly believe that is one of the major contributors to our long-term success. It’s ultimately up to the people who play the game to guide how updates should look.

Radagon: When a suggestion is receiving an equal amount of support for and against it, how do you determine if you're going to implement it or not?

Omicron: In these cases, we will often discuss it within the staff team to come to a final consensus. We may make an executive decision to not go through with an update if we can foresee any major negative impact on the game.

Radagon: How feasible would it be to bring a third developer on board to shorten time between updates?

Omicron: While we do occasionally bring on board other developers for certain projects (eg. RuneLite, Mobile) by providing them with limited access to parts of code that they need to assist us, we do not currently have plans to bring on a third developer. Unfortunately, we are hesitant to share the codebase with other developers in the RSPS scene as almost every other major server has been leaked in the past by rogue developers. In our eyes, it isn’t worth the risk, although we do have plans to shorten the time between updates this year nonetheless.

Variant: It looks like jagex is slowly moving to remove runelite as an option to play osrs, and we know that when runelite is down for osrs it's down for alora. when jagex officially removes runelite as an option and we lose it for us, how do you plan to update the main client if jagex is most likely going to close source a lot of information?

Omicron: If and when RuneLite is deprecated, we will still be able to provide it for Alora as we maintain our own custom version of RuneLite anyway. As for closed-sourcing their main client, that will pose some challenges but we will still be able to keep up to date with a bit more effort.

Phosani: How has Alora changed your life in the 8 years that you've been behind the wheel?

Omicron: Although many may not know this, I dropped out of university a month after Alora launched. The initial response far exceeded my expectations, and I realized that I simply couldn’t juggle both my studies and Alora, and ultimately decided to fully focus on Alora. My reasoning was that I could always go back to school, but Alora was not something I could drop and pick back up. So, that would be one large change, and I feel that I absolutely made the right decision. Ironically, I feel that I’ve probably learned more while running Alora (simply out of necessity) than I had in university.

Phosani: How has life in general treated you lately? Anything interesting happen, or planned for the future? Any notable events or IRL achievements you're proud of, or willing to share with us?

Omicron: Overall, it’s been quite good. Trying to be more active since I can be trapped in the coding dungeon for too long sometimes, so I’ve been going out for hikes with my dog and have taken up activities such as bouldering. Have some plans to see family over the holidays, but otherwise nothing major to mention.

Phosani: Do you miss being able to play OSRS/Alora/RSPS, or do you more prefer the behind the scenes work?

Omicron: RS in general has definitely become more associated with work for me than before, but I can still find enjoyment in it. While I don’t play OSRS anymore, I’ll still get on Alora sometimes on undercover accounts, especially when we release new leagues, game modes, etc, it’s always fun to join the masses in the initial excitement of those releases. I also find it comical that the players I’m interacting with have no idea that they’re speaking to me.

Phosani: Following up on the Project Zanaris questions, if/when released, if the population of Alora were to die out considerably, would you ever consider hosting your own official Jagex server/world? And if yes, would you aim to give it the Alora feel as we all know, or start fresh and try to make something completely new?

Omicron: I would consider it, but I will also do everything in my power to ensure that Alora holds steady and can weather the storm. Of course, if we pursued hosting our own PZ world, I would want it to maintain the same feel that Alora has.

Phosani: What is your favorite piece of content, whether it be leagues, Varlamore, etc, that you've ever worked on?

Omicron: It’s difficult to choose a single piece of content, but I think that the updates that I end up being able to partake in without having to grind and take away from dev time (eg. Leagues, Last Man Standing) are quite fun to work on. Chambers of Xeric was also exciting because at the time, we were the first RSPS to release it and the only ones who had it for at least a year, so it was a piece of content that I was proud to have on Alora.

Phosani: What's one of your favorite memories of Alora?

Omicron: Where do I even begin? I remember feeling an overwhelming sense of community when COVID first hit in 2020. It seemed like everyone had nothing else to do and we all congregated on Alora, so that was a fun time. It was also the year of riots on Alora (see: https://www.alora.io...-we-go-again/).Otherwise, I would say some of the connections formed, especially with @Lowkey, who is still my son even though he’s flown the coop. We’ve even met up a couple of times IRL (with some other OG players from Alora) and I’ve got some great memories of those times.

Blisziful: When were you first introduced to RuneScape? What is something that you have always loved about the game? What made you decide to open your own RSPS?

Omicron: I found RuneScape on MiniClip in late 2005, and I still have an email of my first membership that I somehow convinced my dad to pay for in 2006. I remember playing with a few of my friends and everyone having a role — one was our fisher, another would cook the fish, and then a few of us would go into the wilderness with a different combat style (I was the mage). I will not mention our KDR here. As for deciding to open up my own RSPS, see my other detailed answer to a similar question above.

IamRoro: First off, thanks for the great content! As an early career developer, is there anyway to join in on the development of Alora? Currently a junior Comp Sci student.

Omicron: Thanks for your interest in helping out with development! We don’t currently have any plans to hire another developer, however we wish you the best in your studies.

Scorn: Development blogs - It's fair to say these keep the community aware of what's going on behind the scenes and builds excitement but also anticipation of how soon an update is to being completed. The last one was in May! Is it possible to get these more frequently?

Omicron: We are working on improving this aspect of Alora and being more transparent with dev blogs / roadmaps in the future.

Ruwk: Do you have a set sleep schedule? If not, what time do you typically go to sleep?

Omicron: Usually around midnight, but admittedly if I am grinding out some content I can go far beyond that when I’m in the zone.

Ruwk: How many hours a week do you work on Alora?

Omicron: [video]

Ruwk: Are you happy with the work/life balance you have?

Omicron: It fluctuates, but I’m quite content with where it is at the moment.

Ruwk: Where would you say your programming & game dev knowledge was at when you released Alora compared to now?

Omicron: I’d like to think I was pretty competent when Alora released, but I did have to learn certain things outside of what I needed to know to work on game updates. For example, brushing up on web development, linux administration, web security, marketing, etc.

Ruwk: How do you keep motivation to develop Alora and not fall into a routine of playing it too much? Do you ever have a desire to just play the game and grind out goals?

Omicron: Unfortunately I don’t play quite as much any more as there are always updates that I could be working on instead, but I try to find some balance in my life so as not to overdo it. There have been times when I went a bit too far (eg. When we first released mobile) and burned myself out to the point where I didn’t want to stare at a computer for a few weeks afterwards.

Ruwk: Do you still enjoy working on Alora as much as you did when you first started it? How have your feelings towards it changed since the beginning?

Omicron: Absolutely. If anything, it’s become even more rewarding over time as I’ve become more connected with the community and feel the appreciation that comes after an update, or even seeing new players deeply enjoying the game. With that being said, working on Alora was still much easier prior to the server releasing. I remember it being more fun because there weren’t any deadlines or expectations — only me working on what I thought would be fun to work on that day.

Dad: What is something difficult to navigate when hosting a RS Private Server that most people don't understand?

Omicron: Firstly, there are many different aspects to it. Content development, bug fixes, advertisement, team management, web security, DDoS protection, player support, etc. However, the most difficult component is simply how difficult it is to keep things fresh all the time, so although I think we’ve done a pretty good job after 8 years, I recognize (from watching other servers) that this is not always the case.

Dad: How do you keep accepted suggestions organized? Do you keep an organized sprint roadmap for each update?

Omicron: We do have a general roadmap (internal) broken down into major/minor updates that we are working on, listed by priority.

H: Our last game mode release was nearly 2.5 years ago, what are your opinions on HCUIM, and even other modes that could be made official on alora such as bronzeman mode, region locked mode, and so on?

Omicron: We are wary of adding too many game modes, as we don’t want to saturate the selection interface and overcomplicate things. We could potentially add HCUIM (Why isn’t it UHCIM, anyway?) if that is something that players want.

Anonymous: Has there ever been any content that was an absolute nightmare to release on Alora, e.g perhaps not enough knowledge about content, or lack of experience?

Omicron: Complex updates (eg. Tombs of Amascut) can be tricky for us to replicate due to the difficulty in staying alive to properly debug on OSRS, but thankfully we often have players who are willing to help us by lending accounts or debugging mechanics.

Anonymous: Have you played a secret account recently or at all?

Omicron: It wouldn’t be a secret if you knew, would it? However, I might just be on your friends list without you knowing.

Anonymous: Anything you would like to improve on, on Alora? Such as handling certain aspects like bug reports or suggestions, interacting with the community more, etc?

Omicron: Three that come to mind: being more transparent with the community about roadmaps (& dev blogs), more frequent Leagues events, and more community interaction. I’d also like to potentially squeeze in some IRL merch somehow, I am exploring the idea of shipping out something Alora related in our next event.

H: Any final words?

Omicron: Answering all these questions definitely took me back down memory lane and made me feel all the more appreciative for this journey we’ve been on since November 2016. Thank you all for your questions & for reminding me about some of the great memories we’ve had on Alora — looking forward to creating a whole lot more with you!

Hello everyone,

It has been a while since we last posted one of these development blogs, so now felt like the right time to post one to get all of you up to speed with what we have been working on recently, which will hopefully build some excitement. 

Without further ado, lets dive right in.

MASTERING MIXOLOGY

Overview:

First of all, we have Mastering Mixology. A herblore minigame that revolves around assisting the Alchemical Society in filling out orders of potions, which have skyrocketed after Varlamore opened its borders to the mainland.

Gameplay: 

To keep it short, Mastering Mixology involves refining herbs into their basic elements and using the resulting pastes to brew potions based on the order given.

Rewards:

Supervisor Lalo runs the store Mixology Rewards where players can spend your resin earned by playing the minigame.

Potion packs - A potion pack that grants four sets of potions with varying quantities and doses.

Prescription goggles - Grants a 10% chance to save a secondary ingredient when mixing potions.

Alchemist's outfit - A cosmetic outfit. 

Reagent pouch - Stores up to 26 of each secondary ingredient used in herblore.

Potion storage - Unlocks a new part of the bank where potions can be stored without taking up slots from the main bank interface.

Chugging barrel - Allows simultaneous consumption of up to five different potions when within a bank.

Alchemist's amulet - Increases the chance of making a 4-dose potion from 5% to 15%.

Media: 

Please note that this content is in development stages.

____________________________________________________________________________________

MOONS OF PERIL

Overview:

Next up, we have Moons of Peril. The Moons of Peril are three nagua imprisoned in Neypotzli, a prison located beneath Cam Torum.

This is a new mid level pvm activity that is a step up in difficulity from content such as Barrows. This content can be approached solo, or with a team. Although nothing is stopping you from bringing supplies and racing to the bosses right away, its worth your time to explore the surroundings. Every room contains both combat and skilling opportunities, allowing you to accumulate food and potions and ready yourself for the difficult fights.

Gameplay: 

The player's trip into Neypotzli begins in the antechamber, expanding outwards along three accessible entrances. Each of these - the Streambound Cavern, Earthbound Cavern, and the Ancient Prison - have different resources where players can create food and potions that are more powerful than even the best found outside.

Once the player is ready, they can proceed to face the Moons of Peril; the three bosses share a unique mechanic where their basic attack will hit three times, each dealing more damage than the last; however, if one hit misses, the remainder will as well. This means having good defence bonuses will result in less damage taken overall.

While they can be fought by multiple players simultaneously, the boss' health is tied to individual players, meaning each player will effectively have to deal all damage on their own.

Rewards:

Blood moon armour - a set of melee equipment with the Bloodrager set effect.

Blue moon armour - a set of magic equipment with the Frostweaver set effect.

Eclipse moon armour - a set of ranged equipment with the Eclipse set effect.

Media: 

Please note that this content is in development stages.

____________________________________________________________________________________

MOBILE UI REWORK

Overview:

And last, but not least, we have a few mobile changes heading your way. This update will make playing on your handheld device an even better experience, with a refreshing new UI, and a few more amazing plugins for you to enjoy, such as Menu Entry Swapper and Ground Markers to name a few. 

Media:

Please note that this content is in development stages.

We hope you enjoyed a small sneak peak into what we will be releasing over the next few updates. 

Wishing you a great week,

Alora Staff Team

https://www.alora.io...f-applications/

Your suggestion has been declined, if you feel this was wrongfully done please contact a Forum Moderator+.

Welcome to Alora! Glad to see you already got the ball rolling.

Good luck with your account!

Would be nice if there was a teleport to the entrance of the cave, and the teleport scrolls that the boss drops teleport you outside the boss room.

Your suggestion has been accepted.

Good luck with your clan!

Regarding "3rd Age Pickaxe & Axe from Master Clues & Mimics".

Those can be obtained from master clues since 2 updates ago: 

https://www.alora.io...er-rework-more/

Clue scroll/Impling changes:

• New additions:
  • 3rd Age Pickaxe, 3rd Age axe, and Druidic wreaths are now obtainable via Master clues.

Would just rather the new Wintertodt changes from OSRS get implemented, which would remove the need for a healer in the first place.

This month we have a great interview from Dad. Enjoy the read!

 

H: What is something you think everyone should do at least once in their lives?

Dad: Become an expert at something. Literally anything.

 

H: What do you do in your spare time apart from play Alora?

Dad: I'm kind of a basic white guy in Austin TX, I smoke BBQ, drink craft beer, and play Pickleball as often as I can when I'm not working.

 

H: What is your most memorable moment while playing Alora?

Dad: Probably the moment I got my 3rd Tbow (2nd on Realism) at 134 COX KC (video)

 

H: If you could trade lives with one person for an entire day who would it be and why?

Dad: Whichever astronaut is on the ISS at the time.

 

H: If you could wake up tomorrow gaining one new quality or ability, what would it be and why?

Dad: I want everyone I touch to have a significantly better life after interacting with me.

Hello everyone,

With Alora's 8th(!) anniversary approaching us, I thought it may be a good time to bring back something that hasn't been done in a very long time, and that is a Q&A with @Omicron .

The last time we had something similar to this was all the way back in 2019 with the help of Lowkey. A lot has changed since then(@Moe didn't have back problems, etc) so it's a good idea to get some fresh answers.

How it works

This time we plan to do a text Q&A, rather than a livestream. It will be formatted identically to the ones you see in Alora Newspapers. The plan is simple; you ask questions, either down below in the replies or in my forum/discord pms, and during the November Newspaper edition you'll be able to read the answers. If you would like to be anonymous, please let me know in your message.

Please note that any questions related to appeals, reports, suggestions and so on will be ignored. Troll questions will also be ignored. Omicron may also choose to not answer questions, so don't be sad if you don't see your question answered.

Regards,

Alora Staff Team

Bonfires are an afk alternative for passive firemaking experience. Making it give full experience would be completely overpowered and devalue wintertodt and completely kill manual firemaking(which rewards more exp if you put more effort in).

Perhaps add an eternal fire somewhere close to the edge bank/furnace area, and up the experience to 1/2 instead of 1/3 and it would be in a good spot.
