There has been a lot of talk concerning the 1x exp and whether or not there will be some kind of exp buffs to generate more activity and population on the server. Personally being a hardcore Vanilla wow junkie...I love the idea! I may love vanilla wow and hate Blizzard for all the changes they've made but RAF in my opinion is one of the few that were ingenious. Simple, fun because you get to play with your friends and have reasons to NOT out level them because they have to work the next morning and You're able to play any race /class you want because you can summon your friend with the click of a button at level 1. With a 1hr cd of course.
I personally am extremely excited about Kronos and have been telling everyone about it, but what would really make it easier to convince my real life friends to join me would be Recruit a Friend. It's not only rewarding to me but also to the Kronos servers. I can't tell you how many times I got my friends to join me on Feenix just to end up out leveling them because one of us had to leave and the other was only half a level away from 40.
It doesn't necessarily have to be "RAF" Just an Account Wide 3xp boost up to 60 as a reward for recruiting a player to join the server.
So let's recap.
Pros:
#1. Players will actually be able to play with their friends for more than 1 day.
#2. Players will feel rewarded by the Kronos staff which is a major plus for Kronos considering how many people
are leaving Feenix due to not feeling appreciated by the servers staff.
#3. Increase in world wide population including lower level zones (Also a plus for the server due to the amount of players who play for world pvp).
#4 A lot of US players fall off because of the 1x leveling. This will increase the level 60 US population, US raid progression which will also create a nice competitive edge for EU players.
#5 Having an option for faster leveling will grab the attention of all those players who are hardcore but gave up half way through the 1-60 grind on 1x servers to go to 12x servers and instant 60 servers.
#6 Recruit a Friend is technically Blizz-like.
Okay now lets see the cons.
Below each Con I will provide a reasonable solution to fixing the problem.
#1. People who use RAF will encounter financial problems do to the increased leveling speed.
Solution: 2x or 3x currency drop to keep up with the levels.
#2. Financial issues due to RAF may attract a large amount of gold buyers.
Solution: Add a cool down on RAF so if a player gets banned due to buying gold, they won't be able to just create a new email and start over without fear. It could even be a temporary ban.
#3. A lot of players would rather quest with 3x xp making it harder for solo players to find groups for dungeons.
Solution: Create a world wide LFG chat only joinable at level 20 or so. That way players will be able to LFG while doing their quests.
If anyone else has any cons they can think of please feel free to comment.
So that's about all I have for this thread. Let me know what you think and thanks for reading!
