One word: Professionalism. Do you see Valve or Blizzard going "ah well we're not finished yet but just try what we have now and don't buy that competitors game!"? Kronos just needs to stay professional, finish fixing as much as they can while ignoring cries and other projects rushing. And release when they feel it's ready. Simple as that.

The problem is to still have to whom to release the great project many months from now. We're talking about a very small niche here, vanilla WoW is not really popular, if your intended audience is already hooked to another service you'll just have a very good, but empty server :innocent:
Yes, I see Blizzard letting people play for months before the release all the time, haven't you? :laugh:
True but exaggerating what they said like this:It's only professional if they keep their opinion about competitors to themselves.
Kronos staff members and testers are accusing Nos, that they rushed their server out, which means "Ours is already better than their rushed shit, but we want to make it even better."
I played in the vanilla wow open beta, I believe that started one week before launch.The problem is to still have to whom to release the great project many months from now.

And a well timed WOD beta to give Wildstar and ESO some competition, while retail Panda is stagnating.
Vanilla WoW was shit in that stage. Kronos pretends to be the best. You can play the current WoW content on PTR many weeks before it is live, even if the things are shitty and get changed 10 times a day. Of course not "everyone" can, but then again, they have 10 MILLION players. Kronos should be happy to reach 1000. Today, that is, not very sure about next month...I played in the vanilla wow open beta, I believe that started one week before launch.
With this attitude, yes, we should just pack up and leave 4 years of good work behind.
This makes me sad. Kronos was shut down for restart 10 months ago while Nost have been up and running. Then, in summer, Nost devs realised, that their server is dead and so they will restart too. And now, they are rushing their server just to lure more players from Kronos base.
And it was Kronos community who helped them with hype. Week after fist mention of Nost here on forums, their number of FB likes increased 2 times.
And now, the same community wants to leave, because they don't want to wait one month more for server they have been waiting for 10 months already... Just sad :no:

I never tested their server, so the only bugs I know are the ones that were posted on their forums about issues.
When a server is fixing friendly fire a month and a half before release, what else is broken under the hood? I can't imagine that's even in default Mangos, so how the hell did they break that? And if they break something that simple, I can't imagine a majority of the game is going to work properly.
If there is going an open beta it will be very close to the launch date. Right now we plan to have one. Of course everything done in the test will be lost and RESET for the release.
Players will probably get some ingame GM commands to during the beta.
Yes, but let me explain.
Nos releases the 28th.
80%+ of the community is not die-hard Kronos fan.
So they'll try Nos. Start levelling. Which will probably be allright, maybe not perfect but allright.
When Kronos will release somewhere in March, do you think they'll start over when their first toon is somewhere between 30 and 60?
No, unless some major flaws appear.
People just want to play by now, even a perfect open beta wouldnt hold people to wait a few weeks for Kronos.
