Well, I can't remember the last time I made myself active on any type of forums, even though I used to moderate and participate in many; and personally didn't think I ever would again after having 3 children, and running a couple business's. 

But alas, you guys have sucked me in. I love this server and community so much I figure why not step up to the next level and start participating in the forum community and what better way than to introduce myself.

lots of you know me in game, I'm fairly talkative and probably sometimes too much xD so if i'm ever talking too much in the CC or yell just tell me to shutup, I get it 

I'm an open book in my life; as I'm an active believer in people vocalizing themselves. Too many people are scared to open up, or afraid of who they are or what people will think; mental health is real and I think expressing and talking is a huge healer in that sense.

I'm only saying this in the hopes that maybe, if one of you guys is ever having a really hard day, feeling close to the edge or just simply needing a friend that you will reach out to me; I'm not very knowledgeable about the game itself; but I'm always down to talk!

So on that note: This is who I am.

My names Logan, I'm 31 from British Columbia, Canada. I got sober 7 years ago from being an addict for well over a decade. I struggled with homelessness, addiction, gangs, jail.. you name it. 

I have 3 boys who are my fucking world and the reason for my change in my life. We are all avid dirtbikers and my youngest son (7) competes nationally across Canada in track. 

I own and operate a snow removal company & a film and photography business (@leoshotit92) on instagram. Quick sneaky little advert,

I also speak publicly about mental health and volunteer with troubled youth when i can.

that's the man behind DMGDaddy, now ya'll know me in and out. A lot of people find it weird that I always share so much about myself and my life; but i've found from experience it can help people who feel isolated, or like they are alone. sometimes the smallest thing can resonate with an individual.

Love and peace to All. Happy grinding. Remember I'm always a message away.

Hey there Moderators & Administrators 

I would like to address some concerns and observations I've had during my wonderful stay in the Alora world. 

I would first like to mention that almost everyone on this server is amazing, and I'm overly happy with the content, mechanics, community and updates. You guys are killing it.

Now on to some concerns with the staff.

1) I would like to point out that as a fairly new but EXTREMELY active player who's come from years of not playing any form of Runescape; When I hopped into Alora I was beyond confused on almost every aspect of the game. I had never done a single diary, I had never done a single boss, I had never had a 99 on normal OSRS and so needless to say, coming here was a challenge. Thankfully; I've had some AMAZING members point me in the right direction and help me consistently with every question, concern or guide I needed. I think it's important to mention that not a single one of them is staff. When I ask questions in the Alora CC I have almost never had a staff member or moderator help me out; it's ALWAYS a regular member of  the community. I've had issues of asking the same question 10x times before a regular player feels the need to jump in and help me. I find that a little concerning to say the least; as in my opinion, staff should be the FIRST people hopping on all of those questions.

I would like to note that Knud  has been probably the ONLY staff member to offer me any help outside of actual game bugs and mechanics i've needed solved, which then H has always been of assistance. 

I've noticed a new staff member that I personally don't agree is right for the job; I would like to state that it's absolutely not personal as we've never had a real conversation; but Kareem Sqr has been of little to no help in the CC and rarely shouts out to message him from help. He's been asked a few questions in CC where I've noticed he's provided the wrong answer and a regular member has had to come in and correct him. I personally disagree with the decision to have him as an information leader or staff member in any sort.

NOTABLE MEMBERS: These are the people that have taken extreme time out of their days and dropped a lot of things to go out of their way and help me, one of them even going as far as supporting me through a tough time in my personal life. Not once have I ever messaged these people and they haven't been excited to jump up & Help.

1. 2 has been absolutely above and beyond not only for me, but every single player I've talked to. I've never had 2 come up in a conversation and someone instantly didn't start talking how he helped them in some way. He went as far as helping me through a very challenging personal experience in my life and making sure to remain in contact via discord and private message me every single time I've logged on. I understand he was previously staff; and I'm unsure what issues arose or caused him to be demoted; so I am in no way justifying anything prior to knowing him BUT I will say I'm absolutely blown away he isn't staff as HE IS mainly the ONLY person constantly blasting on yell to join alora CC for help or to personally message him. He goes out of his way to help every single person that individually messages him; whilst running 2 accounts and trying to max a realism. In my books, that's dedication and what a staff member should consist of.

2. nesquik00 & sweetooth are notable mentions I'd like to also say have helped me and my experience with the server a ton. They definitely aren't in the same boat as being on yell and offering help to every player, but It's worth noting that they have helped MY individual experience a ton.

GUIDES:

1. I'll keep this one short and sweet. The guides NEED to be updated as 90% of the time a staff member does answer me in Alora, they link me to the guide or topic and 90% of the time it's either lacking crucial information which could make my experience much, much easier or they are completely missing whole entire steps.

Thank you for taking the time to listen to my concerns and allowing me to voice my opinion. In no way is this to ruffle any feathers, but I did feel it necessary to come here and voice my opinion.

Sincerely; DMGDaddy
