needs way more population than any predictions, for sure. just keep showcasing the upsides of kronos to all your friends, and the rest will follow suite. we just have to be patient. the playerbase will be there if we stick to our guns.
and of course the previous poster is right, you have to pick a good release date. you don't want to release when a similar realm is coming out, you dont want to release when a "triple a" title is coming to pc (gta 5), all those scenarios will force players to split their attention. i hope the staff is very observant of these facts!
i would be very surprised if we ended up with half the number of forum-projected playerbase.
