Hey boys and girls (I know there is at least one girl),

like many others i'm eager to start my adventure on Kronos! But in order to make this the best vanilla server it doesn't only require supreme quality but it also needs a solid player base so new adventurers don't need to hesitate which server to pick!

So as the release of the server comes close we need to do some marketing, if you want to help these are the steps you need to make:

- like it on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheProjectKronos
- follow it on twitter: https://twitter.com/KronosWoW
- subscribe on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/KronosWoW
- subscribe for the youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheProjectKronos

Considering the forum activity there must be many people that haven't done this!

What? You want to do more? No problem! Make comments on youtube WoW videos mentioning Kronos and/or upvote other believers that have already done so!

Thanks

:cool2:

Kronos make me register on all of these xD I really had only gmail account before.

And we must spread the word everywhere! I was advertising on ED, risking to lose my 47 cute night elf, I even interested several people on retail in Kronos! Have you - every single person - done that?! :D

Did the same. After discovering Kronos, the value of my character on ED instatly plummeted, so couldn't care less if I should get banned!
 
I was spreading the word on Valk, but I couldn't understand those Russians. It was really PUTIN me down.

:cool2:
 
Really don't think spamming other realms does Kronos any good. I wouldn't take a realm serious if I learned about it through mindless spam in world chat or trade.
 
Well your main message should be that you just want to inform them, then they check it out and the professional look and videos are likely to make a good impression. People don't want to get "yo feenix suks try this 100% blizzlike server" rubbed in their faces because that's what they all say and no one believes that anymore. But I think they are all pretty aware of Kronos' existence so not much more is necessary.

From conversations I notice that people are mainly interested in three things:
- when is it released (I can only say aimed to release in 2014)
- whether the endgame is well scripted (was aq and naxx ever open?)
- whether the population is good (they can check forum and youtube activity, server traffic ( http://www.similarweb.com/website/kronos-wow.com ) )

But the videos speak more than a thousand words.
I have never seen escort quests work on private servers so I feel that's a selling point for making a video about.
And dungeons, dungeons, dungeons!! ZF stairs event, the summoning chamber in blackfathom deeps, Sunken Temple and ofcourse the raids. If it works show it off!

I'm sure the devs are reading and that they know what they are doing, but to be sure I'm stating the obvious.

Attracting attention to server is a pretty good thing, but people don't like it when you pester them with it.
Whispering randoms with advertise messages is not a good idea. Doesn't help the server's reputation in any positive way, on feenix forums there were 3 threads with "advertising" reports made yesterday - people are obviously not happy with spam.
 
I've seen ads for new private servers while on ED and went to check it out just b/c the scripting was so bad there. To be honest I just heard about this through youtube, but I may have found it regardless if I had been seriously looking for a private wow server of high quality for more than 5 minutes. But I think all of these are very important, especially advertising where you know your playerbase goes: private servers (sucks, but its a small population and we can reach them this way), stuff listed above. Just makes sense.
 
Don't be so aggressive with advertisements. That usually does more harm then good.

Sure, I (think most of us :)) never spam like KRONOSWOWKRONOSWOW, just spreading a word, giving information to those who really may be interested, describing, answering etc. :)
 
I've seen a lot of vanilla wow movies with Kronos ads which I think is nice.

I wouldn't advertise on other servers, or in a very "soft" manner (e.g. came here via in-game email from my guild in ED saying they were re-rolling here).

As banezilla said it would be a lot easier to retain interest from visitors if we had a launch date/month.
 
I got into contact with a handful of my best comrades that I played with all those years ago.

My arena buddies from 3v3 and 2v2 in TBC. My levelling and real life buddies from vanilla.

All of them are at different points in their lives right now. Mostly doing university. But when I contacted them to tell 'em about kronos, the nostalgia sparked a little flame straight away. Over skype we decided to try this server out and level together.

Most of them are seeking to experience to world pvp once again. Alliance and horde simultaneously trying to level in stranglethorn vale or tanaris. dozens of players fighting over questzones like the mountainside troll ruins in northern STV. Or the Pirate cove in eastern tanaris beachside.

I remember these zones being absolute meatgrinders during peak playing hours back in the day.
We are hoping to experience this once again. Hopefully transitioning into a healthy lvl60 population running Alterac valley and so on.
 
Some people will probably stream while leveling - that should generate some hype as well.
 
U should just create lot of lvl 1 characters, with names which can be add up to a proposal, in example:
Kronoswow>Maxblizzlike>Formoreinfo>Сheckyoutube>JoinKwowchat>Joindatguild - and create guild in game and chat where u can easy talk bout kronos =)
 
I'm sure people will enjoy leaving their longtime raiding guilds to talk with you in your guild that will get banned when a GM spots it :biggrin:

Where do you guys get these ideas :biggrin:

Well, vodka gives me plenty of good ideas for sure. :biggrin:
I think it's still better than spamming. And as i say before, not neccecary to make a guild, new /join "ChannelName" should be enough.

I decided to mess around on some video editing software randomly and make a Kronos promo video. Slapped it up on youtube. This experience has shown me that I do not know what I am doing, hahaha. I'm going with the, "I made it shitty, because back in the day all the vanilla videos were this way -- its a homage" argument. Like or comment and show some Kronos support, enjoy \m/ -_- : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjC2l_BS2rM&list=UUVW-MUR2Pen996IeIvt6KtA
