    Hey guys,

    The much anticipated Christmas update is here! Talk to the Town crier at home to help save Christmas again this year as evil forces attempt to make sure there is no celebration at all. This update also includes some miscellaneous bug fixes, but we’ll be focusing almost solely on bugs in the upcoming update to address some other issues that have been reported by you guys. Additionally, we’ve got an awesome giveaway this year for you to participate in and have a chance to win IRL prizes. Read below for more details!


    Note: You will require a client update after this update. If you use the auto-updating JAR client (Alora.jar or Alora_mac.jar) you simply need to restart your client. If you use the RAR client, you will need to re-download the client again manually.


    • Christmas giveaway:
      • As our way of getting into the Christmas spirit, and to show our gratitude for all of your continued support over the past year, we’re hosting a giveaway with IRL prizes this holiday season!
        • You can enter in-game by purchasing tickets from Haris at home (leaning on Well of Goodwill). This is not to be confused with Haris’ Christmas giveaway, as this one is run by myself!
          • Tickets cost 50m each, and each player (household if multiple people play from your house) can only have 20 tickets at most. This is very important, if your name is drawn and we find that you’ve purchased more than 20 tickets on multiple accounts you will be disqualified.*
          • The drawing will be on January 1st, 2018 at 09:00 EST.
          • Prizes are unlocked as everyone collectively hits milestones.

        • Prizes:
          • 2.5b milestone: Razer Mouse (DeathAdder Chroma)
          • 5b milestone: Razer Keyboard (BlackWidow Chroma V2)
          • 40b milestone: PS4 Slim Console (1TB)


      • FAQ:
        • How many people will win?
          • Assuming the full 40b gets donated, there are 3 prizes for 3 players.

        • Can the same person win multiple items?
          • To make it fair for everyone, if the drawing lands on the same person twice, there will be a re-roll.

        • Can anyone enter?
          • Yes, anyone can enter, including staff.

        • If it reaches 40b for the PS4, can the other prizes still be won?
          • Yes, if the 40b is reached, all 3 prizes are rewarded. If only 5b is reached, the first two prizes will be rewarded.

        • What if I win but do not want the prize?
          • You can also take the cash equivalent of the prize(via PayPal), or 1.5x the equivalent in Alora tokens.

        • I have a brother/sister who also plays, can we each enter 20 times?
          • Unfortunately, there is a cap on the number of tickets and it is set at 20 per household. This is to ensure everyone gets a fair chance and that nobody is cheating. We will be looking into the winners to make sure that they fairly purchased their tickets.

        • How will the winner be picked?
          • A random number will be picked, which will correlate to an entry on a list of names. Your name will appear on the list as many times as you’ve purchased tickets, meaning the more tickets you purchase the more likely it is to land on your name.





    • Server updates:
      • Christmas theme:
        • Alora has been covered in snow!
          • You can turn the snow on/off by typing :now in-game.

        • Festive makeover:
          • Alora’s NPCs have gotten festive this year, with many of them sporting Santa hats! These include many different pets, as well as certain NPCs such as the stray dog in Varrock and every rat around the world.


      • Christmas event:
        • ​Huge thanks to @[member="uTorrent"] and (?) @[member="Volta"] for writing most of the script for this year's event!
          • Christmas has arrived on Alora! Someone’s up to no good this year, and they’re doing their very best to ruin Christmas for everyone. The Town crier at home, near the Christmas tree, is asking for your help and will take you to the North Pole to investigate the disappearance of Santa further.
            • You’ll have to work together with the fairy elves to find Santa and save Christmas this year.
              • Your efforts will be rewarded with an exclusive, never seen before Snow Imp costume only available to those who complete this event!
              • You’ll also unlock a Christmas themed mesh net, meant for catching sprites, but it can also be used to catch implings or butterflies. Even Psykk bats in Raids are catchable with this net.
              • All of these event items are reclaimable for 100,000 GP each if lost on death.




      • Imbued God capes fix:
        • The recently released imbued god capes from Mage arena II were not correctly giving their 2% Magic damage boost. This has been correct for all capes, as well as their Max cape counterparts.

      • Completionist Monkey cape fix:
        • The Completionist Monkey has now been updated to have the best stats of the Imbued god capes, as well as the 2% Magic damage boost as it is a composite of all of the best capes in the game.
          • From +12 to +15 Magic defence
          • From +10 to +15 Magic attack
          • 2% Magic damage boost in both PvP and PvM


      • Change password command has been added.
        • You can now type ::changepassword, ::changepass or ::changepw to be taken to the change password page on the forums directly from in-game.

      • Report bug command added:
        • You can now type ::reportbug in-game to be taken directly to the bug report section.

      • Cape of Legends (Veteran cape):
        • Players who have been around for more than a year can now claim an item of their own to show off their veteran status!
          • As the requirements for forum veteran can be quite difficult to obtain even to some of our oldest players, this cape will provide players who don’t meet those requirements with an item to show off their achievement.

        • As long as your account is 365 days old or more, Hans will be able to sell you a Cape of Legends for 2,500,000 GP.
          • Speak to Hans in South-east Edgeville.
          • If you die with the cape in the wilderness, you can recover it from the Lost Items manager for 250,000 GP.


      • Construction fix:
        • Some players have noticed that sometimes pathfinding / following in houses could get very buggy. We’ve attempted to locate this problem and have pushed a patch that will hopefully resolve this issue once and for all and fix pathing within houses.

      • Bloody key change:
        • The world event which spawns a Bloody key in the wilderness every so often has had the following update applied:
          • You can no longer loot the key if you are under level 57 combat.
            • This only applies to the wilderness spawns, but not to key parts dropped by Crystal NPCs or by Revenants.
            • The reasoning behind this is that players are heading into the wilderness with no risk on level 3 accounts to loot these keys, which doesn’t promote wilderness activity as was the intention of this update. Level 57 leaves plenty of room for pures to be able to loot the key as well.



      • Twisted bow buff:
        • Currently the Twisted bow is most useful within Raids, but limited in its use outside of raids.
          • To combat this, we’ve boosted the PvM bonuses that this bow provides:
            • Accuracy boosted by 20%
            • Damage boosted by 15%



      • Pest Control changes:
        • You must now have at least 4 people in the Pest Control boat for the game to begin.
        • Fixed a bug which would cause the Pest control game to get stuck with no players inside, and no new players able to enter.

      • Miscellaneous:
        • Fixed some bugs with the game engine which may cause lag over time.
        • Karil’s top now has the correct 70 Ranged requirement.
        • Jester scarves now equip to the correct slot.
        • ::rules has been updated to the new rules thread created by @[member="Lowkey"]
        • A bug with the rune pouch has been fixed.

      • Risk protection changes:
        • Previously, you needed at least 1/5 of the wealth of your opponent to attack them. For example, if your opponent has 10m risk, you must have at least 2m to attack them.
          • This has been cut in half, and you now only need 1m in the same scenario to attack the other player.
            • Keep in mind that as long as you have over 7.5m worth of risk, you’ll always be able to attack any player.






    • Forum/website updates:
      • The Uber userbar has been updated to better match the other user bars (Font / Color / Removed capitalization)
      • Christmas updates:
        • Alora’s logo is now Christmas themed.
          • Big thanks to @[member="Chase"] for his work on this, as well as the slogan on the homepage!
          • The website will also forcibly be blue for the rest of the holiday season (rather than colour-changing).

        • Snowflakes are now falling on all pages of Alora’s website!
          • We know that some users have older computers that may lag with these snowflakes falling, so we’ve added a toggle button to the top right corner of all forum pages.


      • Terms of Service update:
        • Refreshed the TOS that was shown to newly registered members as there were some inconsistencies and errors within it.





    • Staff updates:
      • Staff members can now remove event NPCs by using a Holy wrench on them.
        • This is useful in the case of badly spawned event NPCs (bad location or wrong NPC id) during server events.

    Meh, I liked Alora back in the day but now it seems like you have become too lazy.

    Literally, copy pasting things from OSRS and then making it sound like in your updates that it's original content that you spend time coding yourself.
    Also not surprised that you have decided to sell some of the christmas rewards from OSRS for IRL cash - Alora has been a sellout server for a while now. I mean $150 for the old man's phat/santa hat lol?

    TL;DR: a great server that turned into yet another typical copy paste/sellout server selling anywhere from high-end items (twisted bow, ely etc) to things as ridiculous as skin colors for $100.

    Copy and paste? You retarded? If you can't tell the difference between the quality of the content on Alora and OSRS than kudos to the developer(s), because that means that the effort put into emulation has made it immaculate. The only public code of OSRS is the client (which is obfuscated), all server sided code is authored by the developer(s).

    I'm very much talking about the client itself; i.e. "Alora’s NPCs have gotten festive this year, with many of them sporting Santa hats! These include many different pets, as well as certain NPCs such as the stray dog in Varrock and every rat around the world.". Things like that being mentioned in the update topics as if the developer had put any work into creating it when in reality it's just copy pasting from OSRS was my point. The actual content itself is no way near the standard of OSRS though - understandingly so.

    My main issue, however, is with the sell out money hungry kind of thing that the server has turned into (i.e. selling the new christmas rewards for $150, selling the best in game items such as elys and t bows for hundreds of dollars, selling cosmetic skin color for $100, selling phat sets for more than a grand etc.).

    Less than 24 hours and the giveaway has broken the first two milestones! We're on track to hit the 40b required for the PS4, make sure to buy your tickets soon

    Appreciate the support guys! Highly motivating coming from people who have been in the community for awhile.

    Your comment history is pretty shocking... I don't think that there's one post with a hint of optimism and if there is it's matched with the usual pessimism later on in the same comment.

    Learn to look on the bright side! We've pushed out a giveaway to give our players a chance to win some cool IRL rewards which people are ecstatic about, as well as a Christmas event to get everyone into the holiday spirit! We're not perfect, but we try to make the experience on Alora as enjoyable as we possibly can.

    But yes, the "festive" NPC update was no more difficult than packing models from the latest OSRS cache, but I'm not sure how else I should word it in the update thread as it currently just states that the NPCs have gotten festive, not that I've designed them myself We always use OSRS assets.

    Yeah you're right man. Better go back to playing those servers with pink dildos and massive pikachus taking up 1/2 of the screen where you can buy owner rank for 2 bucks and 99 cents. They don't have the santa hats either and include original and never seen content like a training zone where guards and men drop noted mystery boxes and broken half-ass added full torva sets where half your body is nulled and the other half looks like a pile of puke.

    It's called keeping items rare, and having somewhat of an economy with 600 players online daily, which is incredibly hard to, and Alora has done it for over year with 200+ daily. The server was made to me an emulation to a degree, while having different experience rates than RS. Idk why you're here ripping on Alora for having the same content as OSRS as that's what they have intended to do so since the beginning :/. Alora is definitely the most advanced server out there, pushing updates daily, and having a professional, clean look to it.

    But you're right, lets inflate the server with $2 partyhats to make you feel better.

    Fuck me, I wrote all this and I don't even play this anymore.

    You completely missed my point and are instead putting words in my mouth.
    I'm not "ripping on Alora". I'm simply saying that it's a shame that it went from a really good server to a good server while the owner became a massive sellout.

    Also, by the way, if the intention was to "keep items rare" then why start selling Elysians, Twisted bows etc. for $ making the items way more common?
