People aren't stupid. It's the Facebook effect. It's the reason new people to the scene will join ED first (might be Nos from now on).
I think Kronos only "downfall" besides server stability can be the release date (the server will def have lots of people, but 3-4k?). Too bad they already made the ETA promises last year, because of the sudden appearance of Nos I would have stretched the launch even further. Somewhere to the summer, maybe early fall. It takes a bit more than a month for the novelty to wear off.
TBH I'm more intrigued how Nos will fare. A five or so years old server practically no one has heard about pops out of thin air just months ago with the most archaic and bizarre bugs imaginable, with a team and promises no one can verify. If they had released at any other time, especially before the Kronos hype or after Kronos launch, it would have been a death sentence.
I know it's a common mantra to repeat that they will fix things very fast. If their story is a failure, all they will be remembered for is the examples we give in discussions about rampart fanboyism. It's an interesting lesson how people can adopt something at face value in such a short time.
If success, Nos will stay this high populated and it might even open Blizzard's eyes on classic WoW demand. I know... One can always hope...
