Hey guys,

Although Jedzio has already taken the liberty of creating the 3 month milestone thread, and has done a great job of doing so, I'd like to personally congratulate everyone on 3 months of Alora! It's been a wonderful ride, and I'm incredibly proud of everything we've achieved as a community and how we've grown, and I look forward to seeing what the future has in store for us Here's a balanced set of updates -- I tried to squeeze in a few necessary bug fixes (both server and client) as well as some cool new content which I've seen frequently requested.

UPDATE: Issued a hotfix to address Raids issue + Boss time records.

[Updates]

Fire Max Cape added:
- The new Fire Max Cape featuring the moving lava has been added.
  - (Your old Fire Max Cape will be automatically converted to this version)
Mouse clicking system has been copied from OSRS
- Many users have reported issues with the clicking system such as missed switches, hopefully this update will fix those issues.
- Additionally, the issue of your mouse clicking the same place twice and not recognizing the movement has been fixed
- This also fixes the item "double flash" issue when equipped.
Misc client changes:
- Orb fixes
  - The colors of the hp/pray/run orbs have been fixed and updated to the latest used by OSRS.
- Field of View / Mouse zooming changes:
  - The client is now "smoother" when using the mousewheel to zoom in and out.
  - It also has a field of view more similar to OSRS's
  - No more "stretching" of objects
  - Objects no longer go invisible when zoomed out all the way
  - Increased maximum zoom out distance
Duel interface fix:
- Some players may have noticed the final duel arena interface "flashes" the items (including Dwarf remains) for a split second. This will not longer occur.
Drag commands:
- These commands are meant to improve item switching to your liking:
  - ::drag
    - Sets both of the "drag" variables to your specified #. 10 seems to work well. (Eg. ::drag 10)
  - ::dragtimer:
    - This variable sets the "time" that your mouse has to be down to be considered a "drag"
    - Default: 5 (milliseconds)
  - ::dragdistance:
    - This variable sets the minimum "distance" that your mouse has to move from the original spot to be considered a drag.
    - Default: 5 (pixels)
  - ::dragreset:
    - Resets both drag values to 0
  - Note: Drag commands do not save on client exit! You must set them everytime the client restarts.
NPC/Player 'attack' option settings:
- You can now set the preferences for the 'attack' option:
  - Dependant on combat level
  - Always right click
  - Left-click where available
  - Hidden
- These will save on logout per-player.
Raids changes:
- You must now have a total level of 1100 to enter the Chambers.
- Reward rate has been slightly increased(more specifically, the "effect" that points have on loot has been increased)
Raids bug fixes:
- Fixed the bug where Tekton would sometimes be unattackable for some players.
- Ironman can now loot Bronze axes, small fishing nets and tinderboxes within the Raids dungeon
- Dwarf multi-cannons can no longer be set up in raids
- Fixed the location you end up in when you return through the final skilling room passage (should go back to Deathlies)
- Fixed your screen being unclickable for too long when entering Raids or Olm's room (because of the fade screen)
Ring of wealth(i) effects enhanced:
- Ensouled heads now have a higher chance of dropping while wearing the ROW(i)
- Money caskets now have a higher chance of dropping while wearing the ROW(i)
Fixed walk-through door bug (mostly for Wilderness)
- Sometimes, you would get stuck and be unattackable after clicking a walk-through door (such as the Pirate hut door)
Rock crabs dormant phase added
- Rock crabs are now in their "Rock form" and turn into crabs when you get closer to them
Uber rank benefits:
- Legendary enhancements:
  - 16 -> 19% chance of obtaining Clue hunter gear
  - 30% Higher chance of obtaining Clue scroll rewards
  - 5 -> 1 second yell cooldown time
  - 4 -> 5 extra PC points
  - 50k -> 60k PC coins reward
  - 35% -> 45% PKP bonus
- Increased overall drop rate from NPCs:
  - Our drop rate, for the most part, is the same as OSRS's * 1.23.
  - Uber donators will have a boosted rate of 7% on all rare items ( on items < 1.0 drop rate ) ( * 1.30 )
Twisted bow changes:
- Twisted bow has been slightly nerfed to better match OSRS rates for both PvM and PvP
Killcount map changes:
- The killcount map will now display your kills in descending order (most kill at the top, least at the bottom)
Boss kill timers:
- Bosses will now display how long it has taken you to kill it.
  - Timer begins the instant it receives damage, regardless of the player who deals it.
- Personal record saving:
  - Personal records for all bosses are saved to the player's account.
  - Every time you kill a boss, your record will also be displayed.
  - This includes the Raids time record which will now save your personal best.
- You can open the boss time records in your quest tab
Corporeal beast changes:
- Combat mechanic changes:
  - Attacks changed when players are standing under Corp
  - Attack range increased
  - Combat bonuses (Offensive & defensive) increased
  - Damage reduction now applies to the Zamorakian *Spear:
    - Previously, this was applied to the Hasta.
  - Corp's max hit can now go as high as 65 with Magic, to match OSRS. (51 for Melee)
  - Corp will now use magic attacks more often when players are out of reach
- The Corporeal beast drop rates have been updated to match OSRS:
  - 1/585 chance to hit the Sigil table(guaranteed Sigil):
  - 1/7 chance for Elysian
  - 1/3 chance for Arcane
  - 1/3 chance for Spectral
Dharok's set bonus has been slightly tweaked to match OSRS's
- Formula: For every 1 hp lost from your maximum HP, your max hit will be increased by 1 damage.
- (Slightly increased from the previous formula)
Miscellaneous fixes:
- Fixed an issue where adding random names on your ignores list would cause you to crash on next login
- Fixed client crash when entering Desert pyramid
- Superior encounters will now appear less often
- Wilderness ditch jump has been fixed
Giant mole:
- Head to Falador Park to enter his cave by climbing into a mole hill:
  - Defeat this burrowing boss for a chance at the never seen before Baby mole pet!
  - The combat is quite simple, but the Giant mole will frequently burrow within the cave and end up on another side
- Giant mole Slayer task has been added to the Hard tasks
- The Giant mole will also show up in your boss kill counts / time records
Mage arena achievement fix:
- Players who have completed the Mage arena miniquest but not the achievement can simply speak to Kolodion and it should complete their achievement.

I like your interfaces however I do believe you should make more events so that players can win real life money considering you have a large player base.
