Strength 101

A couple of months back, I put together a list of new items for the loyalty store, and I was happy to get some positive responses. Now, I’m looking to suggest some new additions for the vote store and the PK points store. Instead of starting 3 different threads, I figured it’d be easier to combine everything into one.

Loyalty Store

Vote Store

PK Points Store

I believe the Wilderness target system is worth keeping, but it definitely needs some tweaks. There should be a short timer before you get assigned a target, but nothing excessive. Also, if it can be managed without any issues, I’d love to see players get immunity from being targeted while doing the Mage Arena II quest. This quest is aimed at new players, and constantly getting targeted and teleported by PKers can really ruin their first experience on Alora.

Staff don’t always get the recognition they deserve, so I’m giving a special shout-out to Munken today.

The Alora clan chat was in an uproar today, and the only staff member available was Munken, the fresh face on the team, who doesn’t have much power, or experience yet. I felt like Munken nailed it in dealing with the situation until a higher-up showed up online. I don't think a lot of new staff would have been able to keep it together with all that palaver.

Munken has been a stellar addition to the staff team since being promoted. 

I've encountered some chatter about a $40k donator rank, and honestly, it seems ridiculous. Who has that kind of monies just sitting around? Plus, I doubt anyone has enough in-game currency to buy that many bonds or rank tickets unless they hit the jackpot at ;;Gamble.

Currently, 2% of the community has the highest donator rank, introduced nearly 5 years ago. Of that group, just 0.75% are active at the moment.

Instead of creating a new donator rank, I think it’d be super to introduce some fresh perks that more players can enjoy. Let’s focus on perks that most people can realistically save up for, whether it’s with cash or in-game currency.

I’m thinking of tossing around some ideas for new donator perks. If you’ve got any ideas, don’t hesitate to share them, and I’ll add them to the list.
