Question K1 vs K3 ?

Howdy folks,

I apologise in advance if this has been asked before. I read the FAQ about K3 on the main page, and had a quick look on the forums, but don't have time to dig too deep into older posts. I'm still somwewhat at a loss concerning these 2 servers, so it might just be easier to ask.

It's my first time playing on a private server, and Kronos was recommended to me as the best Vanilla server, but I'm unsure in which version to create my character. So maybe someone can clarify a few things for me? :)

1- I understand that K3 will be a "fresh" server with patches coming along gradually, and that there is no cash shop.
But aside from that will there be any real gameplay differences between K1 and K3?

2- Will K1 eventually be shut down or can I keep playing last-patch Vanilla on it indefinitely?
(I saw some people mention that K1 was at "the end of its cycle" but I don't know what that means exactly.)

3- The FAQ mentioned something about Burning Crusade. Does this mean either, or both servers, will enter the expansion eventually?
I'm actually looking for a server that will stay on Vanilla.

Thanks for any clarifications!
 
1: Stuff like no multiboxing, Q: What quality of life features does Kronos offer?
A: We provide the following features:
  • 5g max respec costs
  • Enter queue for Battlegrounds from anywhere (using commands .join wsg, .join ab etc..)
  • Realistic Line of Sight (ex; can’t shoot through trees)

    more party XP (making leveling together worth it more)

  • The team has been as hyped for the release as you are, we’re happy to announce that:
    • Over 800 monsters have had their damage updated.
    • All monsters in the game have had their armor values adjusted.
    • 1200 quests have had their level requirements adjusted.
    • 3154 quests have had their experience rewards changed.
    • Almost 100 quests have been polished for the Kronos III release, including the notorious Desolace Caravan and Kodo quests – now in perfect shape.
    • Many missing immersion elements like quest end or start scripts, for example, Tower of Arathor defenses, have been added.
    • All upcoming world/holiday events will appear with full improvements and updates.
    • We have populated several remote locations/added missing NPCs just for the completion sake (yes, blizzlike) – have fun exploring!
    • And we have still more progress planned…

      And more
 
2: probably that in kronos 1 naxx is out and there are no new updates to be released, so the end of the cycle. Just my thoughts.

3: No clue if TBC will come. I guess if it will come you'll be able to chose to stay on a purely vanilla server or to go to the TBC server. Or both (copying character to TBC server and having a separate vanilla server)
 
Kronos is following a natural life-cycle of vanilla patches. When a realm reaches the last patch it will merge after a while and a new realm opens. Nothing is deleted or lost.

The only difference I know is that multiboxing will not be allowed other than for trading in cities. This is a good thing!

Kronos 1 was merged with Kronos 2 when Kronos 2 reached the last patch and was on the same patch as Kronos 1. This is why they release a Kronos 3. K3 will most likely merge with K1/2 a while after it reaches last patch next year and they will probably release a K4 in the future (speculations). They have more or less perfected the life-cycle I think ;)

Kronos have announced that they will release a TBC server in the future and that you will be able to copy over your Kronos 1/2/3 character to that server or start from lvl 1 if you choose.

So it's sort of like ladder/season in Diablo, right?
You either play the new server progressively throughout the patches, or just play K1 in Vanilla's final state.

I don't see any reason why having all patches and content already available would bother me, so might as well just play in K1 I think...

How do you think the population split will be once K3 launches? Will K1 be rather empty or do you think most people will stay there playing their current characters?
