First of all, I understand that it is challenging to keep hardcore players interested in already experienced / released game content. Likewise, opening a new fresh realm can be a good marketing tool to attract new players. These are two factors speak in favor of opening K3.
Nonetheless, this is neither a novel nor (IMHO) a good idea, around two years ago you launched K2, which drained the population of K1 until it became a ghost town; and generated months of complains requesting a solution. Fortunately, the realms were merged only a few months ago into K1+2 (nowadays K1), mitigating the population issue, but it did not come without a cost.
Based on this previous experience, I would like to ask you to please reconsider opening K3 and to keep the player-base in one realm. Bare in mind that the population of K1+2 is still recovering, and a fresh realm will not only deprive it from any population renewal (i.e., newcomers tend to choose fresh realms), but also steal many of its players as well. Organize an in-game poll yes/no about K3 and see it for yourselves.
If you choose anyway to embrace this rinse and repeat business model for Kronos Project, then please put it on the open for the players to make an informed choice where to invest their time:
- Establish K1+2 as the trunk version of Kronos Project.
- Create every 24 months a new branch with a 18 month content release schedule.
- Merge the population of the branch with the core version at the end of each 24 month cycle.
- Drop long-term plans for Kronos TBC and articulate a PTE between the trunk version and Ares, where max level characters (i.e., 60) could be transferred with a small fee using a template (e.g., D1 gear + 50 gold + 4x bags + mount + professions).
These are my humble thoughts aiming to make Kronos the best legacy server. Feel free to constructively share your opinions about them. Cheers!
TL;DR: Please, don't split the community again!
