High all,
~~
Just wanna put a few thoughts in here.... ~'~
(((...and I didn't read all of the posts b4 this, so it might already have been mentioned...)))
~> and I'm NOT a super experienced player or anything, actually never leveled to 60, yet ((~about lvl50 on Feenix and Nost)),
....but I did level a rogue on the feenix +xp realm (dunno if it was 7x or 15x), but it was a real pita !_!
//\\ you have no gold, and no gear ! ..it was no fun at all... //\\
~at some point u are struggling even with green quests, or have to do grey ones(which u can't see anymorê̂), or farm grey mobs to get any gold at all, so u can afford new spells in order to go for green mobs... ~leveling professions like leatherworking, blacksmithing or tailoring is also quite obsolete because you level too fast to keep up with mats, +those spells also cost gold....
~ What I'm saying is that leveling at 1x rates is a much better experience ((maybe execpt you'd raise gold+profession rates, too..)) ~
~~~~~~~ . ~~~~~~~~
Another thought is that u might not attract as many new players as u think you would...
((....and maybe not the casual ones who log in to chill out and have a good time,
BUT rather a ton of trolls who wouldn't go through 'the pain' of 1x leveling otherwise..))
And another thought:
"80% of the chars that are going to be leveled in that month are gonna be alts from people who already have a lvl60"
((~>cuz they have gold, gear, and help if needed with a lvl60 on alt-tab..))

All in all it feels like you are taking a huge risk of ruining the ~¥ F e e l i n g ¥~ of being on the server...

But what to do? -well, I had one thought there, too..
Nost has 'the problem' of having too many players.
Kronos has 'the problem' of having too few players.
Well.. ~there has always been some kind of 'hostility' in these two projects (at least in some parts of the playerbase, i dunno about the devs..), but a solution could also be to
"offer char transfers" from nost to kronos for one month.
(~i can already hear the outcry about that, BUT: ~)
- you would not take the risk of ruining anything by having 7x rates
- the chars being transferred have also leveled at 1x rates (and it wasn't easier on Nost cuz u had dungeon groups or anything, -u had wpvp, wait for quest-mobs, items etc.)
- you'd instantly have 'equipped' lvl60's, and maybe some lower level chars as well. Maybe whole guilds might change over...
(- it could have a nice story around it, like "the dragons are going to attack Azeroth, and a 'bridge' was built to summon reinforcements)
//\\
~ well, the biggest point in this seems to be some kind of cooperation between those two realms. ((i mean tho outcry on nost for a 2nd pvp server is just ridiculous seeing kronos in want of more players..))
~ there would also have a lot of details to be worked out, like having a maximum amount of transfers (1000 for example), what can be taken over, and what can't ((limit gold to 100, items to one bag only/none at all (to avoid chars coming with tons of black-lotus or anything), reset their pvp-rank? (they can keep their equipment, though), etc.
~ if Nost would not want to cooperate, it might still be done....~>main thing would be to make sure players delete their transferred chars on nost.
~~ . ~~
Well, it was (just) a thought anyway, ...and especially if done in cooperation feels a lot better than going the x7 way.. <3
(((I also don't mind the 7x thingy, it might turn out well. ~~started a bunch of chars a week ago, heard about this, and gonna wait now till the end of the month.. (i like playing multiple accounts, and the 7x xp comes in handy there, +I won't need that much gear with a healer in my back
)))
So, ...looking forward to join ya'll there <3
