[OSRS] Alora: Quality Old-School Gameplay!

[Military]

Welcome to our project thread!

We're glad you've decided to have a look at our project thread. We know you're probably ready to see some pictures (or possibly already have), so we'll keep our explanation of what exactly Alora is short and simple. We're a brand new server, in fact this project thread is the first public release of information regarding Alora! With that being said, development has been ongoing for quite some time now and the server is at a relatively late stage in development.

Now, you may be asking yourselves what makes this server different from the hundreds of others already out there already? And I welcome your scepticism, providing a
brief outline of our goals and the comprehensive experience we aim to provide, something we haven't seen perfected in any other server until now!

Server Features:

• A perfect balance between PvP and Economy
• A realistic feeling in every aspect of the server ranging from combat with accurate formulas, timing and switching to a wilderness target system similar to that of OSRS
• The latest OSRS content, with tools designed to help us dump and pack new data with ease, nearly as soon as it is released!
• A wide range of dungeons and training areas, including but not limited to: Demonic Gorillas, Lizard Shamans, (Nieve's) Stronghold Slayer Cave and more
• All of the Wilderness bosses
• Fully functional skills using Oldschool content such as Rooftop Agility courses
• An optional High-definition feaure on the client, using real OpenGL
• Full integration between the website, forum and server
• Professional and mature staff team

FAQ:

Spoiler

Will the pking be active on Alora?

We believe that pking is a massive aspect of Runescape and we want to make pking as active as we possibly can!

When will Alora be released?

The release date is to be announced shortly, sign up on our forums to stay up to date with the latest information.

What server is Alora based on?

Hyperion

Will Alora feature content solely from OSRS?

Currently there are no plans for major content from any different eras of Runescape, unless suggested from our community.

What will be the XP rate?

As we are seeking a good mix between an Economy and PVP server, the XP rate of Alora will be moderate to high especially for combat skills.

What will be the drop rate?

Similar to the previous question, the drop rate will be moderate to high for general items that allow players to begin their adventure in the wilderness, but certain items like godswords, dragon war hammer's and such will be considerably more difficult to achieve.

Does Alora have a website?

Yes we do, please sign up to keep up to date with the latest updates!

Can Alora be found on any communication platforms?

Yes, in fact we just recently opened up our Discord server which is similar to TeamSpeak. You can join in on this by clicking the Discord banner below.

Final Notes:

Updates are listed throughout the thread and always posted on our website, we will also try to include media in every update that we provide.

We welcome any suggestions or feedback that you may have and we would like to thank you for your interest! If you like the look of our project please hit the 'Thanks' button

Many thanks,

- Alora Development Team

Server has a planned release date of November 4th around 2PM EST.

There will be multiple events before release that will be held, aside from events that will be held immediately after release, these include:

• Voting event
  • A thread will be posted soon in regards to this event. The voting system will save your auth codes and allow you to have multiple codes stored on your page(you should also write them down in a notepad). Your votecount will be stored, and once the server is release the players with the highest votecount will be rewarded. More information will be posted soon
    • (We may also add your votecount to your post information, under 'Likes', but this has not yet been decided. Let us know how you feel about it!)
• Promotional video event
  • We'd love to see you guys create videos for Alora! To promote this, we'll be holding an event for video-makers in which the producers of the best videos will be rewarded. This is not limited to any type of video, it could be a promotional trailer or simply a tutorial! More information will be posted soon.
• Donation bonus event
  • Those of you who wish to support us before release will be rewarded with a 25% bonus in tokens(effective as of this post) until the day of release. This is to show our gratitude for your support, and it will enable us to direct those funds into advertisements before release so that we can generate even more hype!

Please note: We have put a lot of work into the server, but even so, we are anticipating bugs to present themselves. We're relying on everyone to report them so we can deal with them as soon as possible! We can't do it without your help.
