Hey,
I will probably not be playing at Kronos since I´ve had my share of Vanilla gaming on other servers. I like what I´m seeing so therefor I thought to drop you some tips of how to handle your server.
Community:
Your server is alive thanks to your community, nothing more nothing less. Make highlights from past weeks of guilds cleaning dungeons, active community staff that´s willing to do "shit" work to connect with your gamers. Make your own world of your server so people won´t leave when there´s nothing more to raid after 3 months before AQrelease.
Marketing:
I´ve seen this so many times that servers starts off well with active facebook and youtube videos. Make it routine for you guys. Content is king, simple as that. Every day one single facebook entry regarding update, issue, progress whatver. You guys found a sweet PvP movie that a player made bring it up for people to see.
Be on all the social medias and some forums as well where you are allowed to post without getting banned. There is nothing more important than the first impression of a server. If the facebook, website or anything is old... Then you´ve lost a potential player.
Deadlines:
Be honest, period. All these times we´ve heard about AQ release, hyjal or whatever. It never arrives to said date/period. Will it take 6 months for you to sort AQ out at a maximum, well then it has to take 6 months. Once again, your players and community is everthing you have. People starts to loose faith in your once promised quality? Then you´re in a bad spot.
If you want help with ideas for Twitter, Facebook or general marketing of your server. PM me if I can be of any help.
Best of luck!
