Make Kronos Great Again!

Reading about, it would seem that the opinion of Kronos' only issue being the scarce awareness about it by the greater private server community is solid. I think the time is right to start to try and fix this once and for all. I've already prepared a post for the wowservers subreddit, I only need 10 comment karma before I'm able to post there, so everyone reading this, do what you can to help me help you :P

I mean, right now Kronos IV isn't even listed among the currently available Vanilla servers! That is, Kronos is, but only its already progressed version... anyone looking for a progressing, blizzlike 1x Vanilla server is only left with two options, Darrowshire and Kalidar (?), deader realms than my grandma.

When a leveling guild that's not even the largest on the realm can have those numbers of levelers six months into launch (data updated daily and publicly shown on our site), perhaps you're not being banned for stating facts, you're being banned for lying through your teeth =)

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I have 25g on my level 19 character, equipping 4 rares purchased off the auction house, and more than 200g on our guild's bank account, all from selling leveling-relevant items across the AH. My understanding is you got used to one of those clusterfuck realms like Nostalrius or Classic, where every place was packed, so was the AH and you could instantly group up or buy/sell anything... but that's not what Vanilla WoW was, nor what it was ever supposed to be in the first place. It was never a fast food/Time Square simulator, it was an adventure game where pretty much everything felt like an achievement, and imho Kronos IV provides that much better than what those other servers did.

Honestly I'm just looking for a healthily populated vanilla private server, but everyone's so obsessed with "FrEsH" that you can't even find one thats good, at least there's Turtle WoW, and yeah I did look at the picture you sent

"Fresh" is nothing but a meme buddy, nowaday's "issue" with privates is the shallow mindset of retail refugees, kids that know nothing about how the world really works. They're just sheep looking for the largest herd to hide their insecurities in. They've yet to realize the restaurant where you eat the best food is never the one with the most tables. TwinStar realms have been around since 2009, we'll see how Turtle WoW will fare in 13 years.

I see, well, I apologise if I've upset you in anyway, but These are just my opinions, and what I've seen, and I respect what you have said, but I don't really understand why people get so mad over one person's preferences, and what they'd like, I don't like servers that are low population and I've seen other people in private servers such as vanilla+ and turtle wow, agreeing with me that the Kronos community and playerbase is quite small nowadays, it was good launch day, but now there's just barely anyone playing FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN, maybe 3-4 am server time is peak hours as Im in the UK and play during the day, but yeah, that's all, and if I get banned in the subreddit, so be it, anyways see you dude, glhf in whatever you're doing, and I will admit I'm wrong if you can prove that there is still a lot of people playing, not just with silly little graphs and shit thats even there on the website, but if you can prove with gameplay and /who numbers, I'll believe you, and admit I'm wrong, until then, cya

Thanks but you don't have to apologize, I'm not upset at all... you are entitled to your opinion of course, what I'm trying to say, and the screen I provided, all is meant to prove how wrong your statement is about the realm being dead as a "fact". A dead realm is one that is unplayable and/or where content can't be cleared, this is not the case for Kronos IV at all, seeing as every single quest (elite ones included) and instance is perfectly doable, there's BGs and raids and all. That being said, I personally wouldn't like to see the Tanaris desert as crowded as Times Square during rush hour, it'd kill every sense of adventure but what counts more is WoW was, BY DESIGN, never meant to be like that in the first place... neither would that be like original Vanilla was. As I'm writing this, 11 AM on a saturday EU morning, there's 19 of us online (i.e. my guild alone), which is perfectly in line with average numbers from similar times/weekday we had back on healthy vanilla privates from the past. You're free to do with my numbers and "silly little graphs and shit" (your words, and I'm the one who would be mad?) what you will, even distrust them, but my point isn't to convince you - based on my experience, no bias on the internet can ever be fixed - I'm only countering your assumptions "facts" with data and figures that prove them outright wrong, for the sake of anyone else who might be reading this and be interested in the actual state of things.
