Hey guys,
about one or two weeks ago ive stumbled upon Kronos aka the next gen of private vanilla servers. Being pretty entertained by all the fancy videos and the general hype about the soon-to-be release i started investigating and got more and more amazed about how awesome this server could be - in theory.
I just have a few questions about the server in general and the stuff surronding it pre-release i could not fully get answers to just by scamming over different informing topics, i apolgize in advance if some answers are obvious, i just cba searching for hours when there might be heplful people around
1. What's up with the server advertising on other vanilla projects?
Starting with simple trolling and hidden ads over trade/world chat spam up to sky dropping gnome corpses with kronosfavourable names ive got told to visit Kronos on two different projects now - and multiple servers with that. It eventually worked and thats why Im here but id really like to know if these are just some desperate Twinstar fanboys or the team itself doing everything possible to get Kronos started. The latter one would actually made me not want to play here after all.
2. Why are there already established guilds with filled rosters and tight raiding schedules promoting themselves as if they already exist ingame?
I mean i get the point why you would want to recruit people before you actually start raiding, but that far ahead? The server isnt online, noone reached 60 yet, tons of stuff could happen, etc. I do remeber the same situation being a thing at Retail WoW's launch and most guild that tried to get startet so early on failed miserably from what ive seen, especially those coming from other mmos with experience, plans and sh*t. Isn't it smarter to actually wait and see if the server will be playable overall? Or atleast wait for the release date to come out? Not hatin, just being realistic here. And isnt it like really hard to see what a recruit is capable of just by what he writes in his application? Or are these guild really already stuffed up with commonly known private server heroes that are 100% reaching 60 AND will be able to raid even further after that? I just looked briefly over a few guild websites promoted in the forums, and am by no means looking for raid spot somewhere at the moment but the fact that others already do got me really curious.
3. How is this Kronos gonna do better than those before it?
From what ive heard those were not as populated being Czech and not as well promoted as the current one while already having a decent blizzlike and bugfree level of development so they were shut down by community demand. First of all, people keep saying being shut down by the community is better than Twinstar cancelling the project from their side. How? Isnt it far worse if the community doesnt want a server to exist anymore, even more so since it happened two times.
I realize the hype about K3 is bigger and its probably gonna be better but is there anything else that can assure me that this wont just be step 3 in a 5 step program to build a community or doing a trial and error with server setups?
4. How is the whole Czech part influencing the server if at all, will it devide the server or push it in a general direction?
Now dont get me wrong here i dont mind Twinstar exist on Czech bases as i personally dont have any bad experiences with Czech players, or players from other countries at all, or Czech people in general - really, ive never met one in my life - but some comments around and about the project got me curious. If Kronos wasnt international previously will that in any way affect the new one? Im guessing it wont really tear the server apart but is it that easy to jump from one nationality and a core community to international standards without any flaws/sacrifices?
5. In what way is Kronos playerbase gonna be pushed back in numbers by the time passing in development and other events during that period?
While getting to know Kronos better i found out that another private server is almost ready to go - surely most know which one I mean, i just cant remember if its generally allowed to write its cursed name out - that some people pictured as promising as this one and as a big competition in forms of who-ever-releases-first-wins-yay. How is stuff like this, the continuing progress at the edge of the release that drives a lot of people mad and more and more teasers how great this server is gonna be, affect the community? How long will it be able to substain a growing community? What if the hype builds up to great and Kronos cant live up to the expactations? What if Kronos fails? Will they try again? So many questions
6. Why should I REALLY play here?
I like WoW, its vanilla part, private servers, online communities and most of all how promising this server looks but im also busy IRL, established on other private servers and retail occasionally and ive still got this thought in my mind that Kronos might just be one of many. Id just like to hear some personal opinions why this server is going to be good and worth to play. Not facts, i can read those up on my own
I think that covers it for now, thanks if you took the time reading and/or answering and sorry for the wall of text Also im tired and hungry now.
Cheers
