High level players are able to queue from anywhere, so they are spending their time ganking in lowbie zones and killing quest givers. Please remove the .join command and either fix the BMs (I could not queue for BGs at the stormwind ones yesterday and HAD to use the command) or make BGs only queueable from the actual BG entrances.
.join is horribly non-blizzard-like.
Thanks
1. i have not seen a single quest giver being killed not to mention civilian status works as deterrent, if that is truly your main concern than there are better solutions like making certain npc's civilian although quite pointless as "this is a pvp server"...
2. you proclaim that this encourages killing low levels ? let me shake this fantasy of yours a bit... when i am farming i do so primarly in un'goro i kill alliance regardless of level or gain, same goes if i travel through a leveling area or help a friend... If i fish in STV to pass the time and boredom i enjoy toying with alliance players be they low or high level it gives a bit of a mix to this tiresome fishing.
only exception being if they do a positive emote and reveal themselves then i leave them be and might even help them a bit with killing stuff. Of course if they are gnomes i will kill regardless of what they do.
3. removing .join would reduce amounts of battlegrounds thus less would be enticed to que up which means they are not gonna travel to a capital to que but just kill around the world and only que whenever they happen to be in capital be that upon login or when needing the auctionhouse or other things...
k3 is dead anyway because of not enough rankers and good players playing there (pmuch everyone decent quit)
If not for ur "joined date" stating you played in 2016 i would assume you are new to private servers... but either you are trying to lower morale hoping for more to jump with you or wishing for attention ?...
Let me refresh your memory, private servers have populations that go up and down. Going up with content releases and going down when rival servers start or when a hyped new game like blizzard expansion or such release, this happens to every private server without exception. K1 was proclaimed dead by Nostril repeatedly with silly youtube clips, in the end nostril lost their dev and took the easy way out proclaiming they got cornered by blizzards letter...
Here's a spoiler for ya... blizzard sends that letter to almost every single server there is and can be ignored without any consequence unless you have people paying you instead of it being donations.
Nostril had numerous screwups but they did 1 thing right and that is advertisement but they still died as they where unable to document cases and where just creating more and more internal issues.
After nostril died Ely started a server with their core, they also did perfectly on advertisement but reviving a failed core brings no future especially if you have no clear documentation of what has been done or changed with it...
now lh is picking up this fuming piece of **** and they do well on advertisement yes but...
each time kronos lost temporary population numbers but never died and always had raids going on, it also lost pop temp when popular hyped games came out but in the end population came and went and in the end kronos 1 got all the way through naxxramas and released K3.
dead server means there are no possibilities to raid or such and there is no option to be social as there would be too few to interract with, that is something that never truly occured for K1 but others tried to sell it of as if...
Either way if you think its dead then move on, kronos has proven itself to survive, also during vanilla a bg que could easily be far longer than an hour depending on realm... afterall servers back in 2004-2006 could not compare with servers from 2018 not to mention blizzard had numerous servers and could not afford to focus all on 1 server thus their individual servers where unable to have as high a population as private servers nowadays...
