I think most of the non czech/slovak players joined when Kronos opened in dec 2012.
We heard about the server from friends and there was 1 promotion trailer, but that was it as far as advertisement went back then.
We stood in awe when we saw the fantastic quality, which was unlike anything we've ever seen so far.
Chero as well, is the best developer i have ever whitnessed, he fixes issues in notime for what other devs need weeks or even months. Also, he doesnt wait to implement the fixes to bring them in "big patches", instead he implements them as fast as possible and as soon as it's fixed, he doesnt hold it back, which is amazing.
Last time, we the players and the management failed to make it well known.
Now, the team has been increased, they take care of the advertisement and keep developing until it's as close to perfection as it gets before the launch. Knowing how good Kronos was before and hearing that they improve it even further until everything is properly done, i don't see a reason not to start here.
We as the players have to ensure that the advertisement works, dreams will be fulfilled here if people just let themselves be embraced by it (aka, giving this server a chance :shifty
.
All the people who stay on their current servers are the ones to pity if they don't give Kronos a shot, because there really is nothing in comparison on the vanilla landscape.
