What would prevent anyone from creating multiple accounts to cash in lots of gold? Bad idea indeed
Send me a PM and I can send you a good number of fun-servers with all these "fun" features that you look for. You get free gold, free mount etc. You don't have to do anything there. All you have to do is sit and watch the game do everything for you.Making it not worthwhile? e.g. you only get 5 gold, after levelling to 15. Who in their right mind would get 15 and then level up another character to 15 for 5 gold? When he could use that time to get his first char to 20 and make more money in the process.
I'm not the OP, but as I see it, it's not about giving people cheats/shortcuts/whatever, but about giving them "OMGFREESTUFF". Works wonders in real life advertising.
Anyways, it's not like this is a groundbreaking suggestion that absolutely needs to be implemented, but I do think it is worth considering in some form and I'm starting to get tired of all the negativity lately.
Common, guys, you realy compare fun servers to gift of 5 gold when you reach level 15? What it will change? What it will break? If you add it for, for example first month, it will only lure more players because, even if it's nothing in late game, it will help leveling a little bit. And as mentioned above, these small things works wery well in real advertisement.
Imagine, that you go to the shop and want to buy an notebook for 3k euro and the will give you 50 euro discount. Then you go elsewhere where they give you that notebook for free. Is that the same? No, it isn't, just like 5 gold gift and fun servers are not.
I personaly don't mind about these things, i just want you to look at it from another perspective.
yeah, what a terrible idea to try to lure more people here with something that won't affect neither the balance nor the difficulty of the levelling process (which, for some reason, most of you seem to want as difficult as possible)
brb gonna go kill myself now for ever thinking more population would be better.

If you want to have 1x so bad, go play on ed. Oh wait you dont want to? Neither will people who prefer endgame content over leveling want to play on funservers. So stop wih this bullshit argument please.If you want leveling to be easier (or faster, or spells to be free, or to get free bags) then go play on a fun server. That's what everyone else is saying.
And yes, 5g is essentially the same thing as free spells until a set level.
Why the "Oh wait you dont want to"? At the very beginning of ED they managed >1,5k players minimum because people believed in an authentic experience which was proven very wrong later on; so how can you blame them for it? They went there because it was supposed to be a blizzlike-experience to make myself clear. I'm pretty sure that Hagson here would play on ED if it wasn't in a broken state like the 1,5k others who believed in it, in the very beginning. (I wonder how many times I will have to repeat myself until you understand how bad you make yourself look)If you want to have 1x so bad, go play on ed. Oh wait you dont want to?

I simply do not see how a small incentive will actually attract anyone to play here.
Hey, I'm a random vanilla player. I'm currently playing on xxx, but heard nice things about Kronos... Do I want to abandon my precious character? Not really. Am I intrigued by a less buggy server? Yes. Yeah they have less bugs, but they don't have my character, maybe I'll just see how things turn out and if my server dies I'll move there. Or I'll move there only if they get 1k online, no use in levelling on a low pop server. Yeah why hurry to try it out, I'll wait.
Kronos is launching tomorrow guys, come now and get a 5g bonus if you stick around at least until level 15. This limited offer ends in two weeks!
Wait what? If I start right now I'll have an easier time levelling?(not really) That may come in handy if I ever decide to move there. And 15 levels isn't that much, I could probably get it in a day or two (or three), then I'll get my bonus gold and I'll have that char ready if I ever decide to play there. OK, I was going to try it out eventually, I'll do it now while I can take advantage of that limited offer. Wow, nice, that boar actually evaded, instead of chasing me through whole of Mulgore. Hey! That rare lion(whose name I forgot) actually dropped a green item! I have never seen this class quest work before! Congratulations, you have reached level 15! Finally, I'm done, time to go back to xxx. What? A Deadmines group is one dps short? OK, guess I'll check out dungeon scripting while I'm here...That group loot!?! That threat!?! That spell!?! Yeah, that does it, xxx sucks balls, I'm staying here.
If they want easymode they will choose a highrate server, I understand the way you think but it's just not necessary. If people know about the server they will try it. No incentive will change that, it probably would even have the opposite effect because it is not blizzlike and it looks desperate.
