We NEED an update from the game staff.
I feel like we're right back where we were prior to the server merge. I'm once again dreading the start of each new raid week, because there's always at least one quitting post, from one of our raiders who's just too bored, and frustrated with the lack of communication to continue playing on Kronos. I know I'm not the only GM who feels this way. I feel like many of the players in my guild are continuing to play only because they would feel bad quitting on their friends--but they're bored, and they're not having fun.
Communication is a powerful tool. Used effectively, it can be a great ally. Neglected, and it can turn into your worst enemy. Unfortunately, we're experiencing the latter. Over the past few years, there have been periods of time where it's felt like one of the head GMs, or even Chero himself, were going to step up and take a more active role in posting updates to the community, but those periods were always short lived. Yes, it's understandable to have a real life outside of Kronos, and to not be able to dedicate 100% of your time to script, fix bugs, and post updates--but here's my problem: there's been NO COMMUNICATION WHATSOEVER from our head GMs (Davros and Gurky), and Chero himself for nearly THREE MONTHS. To show this kind of neglect to a community of thousands of players who have been supporting them for YEARS tells me one thing: they just don't care anymore. Whether it's because moved on to other things in their life (keep in mind that the Kronos project has been around for a number of years), or they, like many of the players, have just grown bored--they clearly don't have the same level of passion, and dedication to Kronos that they did a year or two ago.
I would love to be told I'm wrong. I've invested two years of my life into this server, and I would love to see one of you respond by saying "You're wrong Shard. We're still 100% committed to Kronos. Chero has just been busy with school, and we just haven't had anything to update you with." But I'm a highly observant individual, and all the evidence (and lack there of) points to a game staff that just doesn't care nearly as much as it did two years ago. Most of you aren't paid for your work. You don't have to do anything if you don't feel like it, or don't have time. If you were still passionate, and still committed to making Kronos the best vanilla server out there, then it would show, and we wouldn't be in this situation, AGAIN.
So for the sake of the hundreds, and even thousands of us who have invested several years of our lives into this server--who have stood by Kronos during all the various problems over the past year, please give us an update! Whether Naxx is expected to be done in two months, or never, we don't care--we just want to know what's going on. Every week, more of my friends quit, and there's countless others who are only hanging in there because the you, the staff, have led us to believe that Naxx is coming. At the very least, they deserve to know whether they're wasting their time waiting for something that will probably take another two years, or possibly never happen entirely. If we continue to hear nothing, it's only a matter time until Risen, and probably a number of other guilds are no longer able to keep they're players interested, and inevitably move on to other projects.
