How is our future?

Nost has rollbacks too. I'd even say they are more frequent there.

That doesnt matter. at. all! This isnt a contest, please stop treating it like one. The rollbacks are a problem on Kronos, no matter what other servers have them. I know servers that have 4-5 days uptime straight, that is great but it doesnt help us. This just needs to get fixed asap no matter what.

We'll be fine. As long as this server has a core of devs and players we'll stay stable and continue to attract. Certain servers will bleed players looking for something else. Actually I quite enjoy the 1.5k - 2.0k pop here because it's not a traffic jam of players. I wouldn't worry about our population at all.

Other servers being bad doesnt mean people will leave it, sadly. History has shown us people stay on populated realms that are pure crap, simply because they are heavy populated. And while I do agree that 2k pop is just fine right now, with everyone levling up, we dont have to be stuck for hours on one quest because the area is so jampacked. But once we hit 60 there will be lots of empty zones and it will start to feel more empty. (Thankfully Vanilla gave us good reason to keep go out in the world so this wont be too big of an issue, unlike if we were in tbc or wrath where everyone was in shatt/dala).
The reason I and alot of people with me worry about population is because it is slowly decreasing and the crashes are making people really really mad. I wont quit because of crashes but damn they sure do suck, especially when you are in a dungeon.

Unsurprisingly everyone got very defensive about Kronos and how shit Nostalrius is. What I was trying to say is that if things stay the same, people are not going to move over.

I said it was predictable because it's what happened to K1 and K2, decent scripts but comparatively sparse. The fact so many posts are already discussing the population means I'm not the only one who sees this going down the same path.

8 bugged quests? come one now, thats rubbish and you know it.

It's 9! Perhaps 9 uncompletable quests would be a better way of saying it? I even wrote them down. Everything else on Horde side from 1-60 was doable.

The same few people are posting up about the population despite the fact we have 2K+ at EU peak times, I believe some of the NA guys are concerned they only get half that.. absolutely nothing to be alarmed at. Just like a few people that are pushing rollbacks as something that only effects Kronos, which is plain wrong.

Re bugged quests, just a quick glance at your forums shows you would have hit more than 9, the problem with people that never played Vanilla WoW is that quite often you dont know scripts are missing. When I levelled a rogue to 20 for example, 3 quests with fun RP/Scripting all had that element missing (3 dwarfs with the broken wagon in Loch Modan, Rogue poison quest missing/broken RP element to remove the poison, Ammo for rumbleshot) and there's plenty more. Also every single quest involving a quest item was pissed on Nos, either the item was lootable multiple times through shift looting, or the respawn timers were totally off the charts with people waiting 10+ minutes on basic quests to a hour or 2 on others.

Nostalrius Begins? No, Feenix Reborn more like.

You guys serious?

Talking about population problems on server that started with over 2k players AFTER it's biggest competition started with 6k... ?

I dare to say that at least 1k players are players who came from nostalrius cuz they got sick of dcs every few mins and from all thos bugs reported that were fixed even on shity realms like Feenix or Rebirth.

 

[Strh]

That's just me, but I prefer no lags / very low bugs and 2k than lags / bugs everywhere and 5k
Plus 5k or 6k for me seems way too much
Also i believe more ppl will come Kronos, it will be just a matter of time

These crashes are going to cause alot of people to leave. I hope the team gets to the bottom of this soon! :crying:

What is it now? 4 crashes in a row. You do an escort quest and finally get it done - The server crash - you log back in and see there is a 5 min rollback but before you can move it crashes again, then you log back in and notice the escort quest is not "completed" anymore, so you try to play some more, you run around for 5 mins trying to pick up the escort quest again - and the server crashes again - you log back in and see there is another 2 min rollback - then server crash before you get the chance to type in guildchat. Then you get in again after 1 min and it crashes ONE MORE TIME before you get the chance to move.

Now im going to log in for the hundredth time, and maybe do the escort quest for the third time.

 

[Struckd]

Indeed, I thought the problems were getting solved. Are all the crashes and rollbacks related? Or are the differing reasons?

 

[PriestRat]

Bad assumption there. I'd be gobsmacked if you played more vanilla than me.

We have a different idea of bugged quests, missing some yellow roleplay writing doesn't make the quest bugged in my opinion. It's fluff.

If i see the realm is up for a few days without crashing I'll roll an alt here, see if I can tell the difference.

 

[Rokomito]

Well, I just hope they fix the crashing issues..

 

[Mcduff]

As i read somewhere on the forum, server auto saves every 6 minutes?
Correct me if i'm wrong there, but i think if it is set to save every 1 minute the crashes wouldn't be such a pain in the ass since the rollbacks wouldn't be big.

I think it would be a really good first measure until crashes are fixed.

 

[Crispin]

The rollbacks are bit much on kronos. On the other server the rollbacks are barely noticable(1min maybe?). I wish we could have the same on kronos.

 

[Strh]

All private servers have their dc's / rollbacks moments, people just don't have to freak out, otherwise they would change server each week
Performancewise, this is still the best I've ever seen
