A possible difference between Kronos and Nostalrius

[nimeralos]

As far as I know, Twinstar itself has good, tested by time DDoS protection, and also good hardware, see http://forum.twinstar.cz/showthread.php ... t-already-) , thus good performance. So the only important difference I see for now is ping, which is different for different people.
We'll know more soon

yeah, that's why it'll have to be fairly controlled, like one switch per character ever or something !

If so, why not, if the server really need it

I bet my ass Kronos will have a cash shop, that's a HUGE difference between Kronos and Nostalrius.
Moreover, I wouldnt be surprised if you never see the color of AQ40 or Naxx on Kronos, but it's my opinion...

Also, hardware doesn't count that much when we are talking about this 10 years old game, it's optimization and fixes who have an impact.

I dont like the idea of any race/name/faction changes. (name change being the biggest issue imo). None of these options were in vanilla and I think it should stay that way. For race and faction changes, you are stopping people from reolling and leveling another toon... that will effect the economy in the game.

Name changes are a huge no. I shouldnt have to go into why this a bad idea. A ninja should ALWAYS been known as a ninja.


The only thing i can see not making any difference is changing the look of your character.... I dont care if this is in it or not (i wont use it)

If there is a donate option, ill use it simply because ive been given a server to play a game i love on.... i dont need any perks

Good to know that they probably have a good DDos protection system. Not so good to know that their main focus is Cata Realm =x

Change faction is a big deal, it allows pvp players to migrate to the strongest faction, weakening the weakest faction.

Actually, the PvP ranking being one-sided, I'd think the faction change would actually encourage PvP boyz to migrate to the less populated faction in order to have less people to compete with ; chain-wining BGs doesn't help you geting to high ranks if everybody in your faction does so, and it's never fun to have a huge queue between games. So PvP-wise, factions switchs would tend to even out the population on both side.

I do agree with you regarding the fact that it's nonetheless a "big deal" in itself though, and having "free-for-all" factions changes all around would ne kinda bad.

But maybe if it's properly managed and restricted (e.g. only if a side needs some), factions change, if they are ever allowed by the staff, could be a good thing.

That is the way it was so far. Sometimes faction changes were refused, and never were an issue.
Same thing for the money, it never was an issue. And all you got for voting was eventually more people playing on the server, no items nor services.

Askental, I don't belive how Nostalrius pvp issue were managed back in 2010 is a good example.

Nowadays, with this fresh start, they have to be clear and adamant on what will it be possible and what won't be.

Kronos allows 1-2 race/faction changes per character for donator currency, which can also obtained through special in-game events, and vanity donation rewards exist

they ban you for blinking through doors instead of making it impossible like Nostalrius does

multiboxing is allowed on Kronos

on Nostalrius, theres no race or faction changes allowed, multiboxing is banned, and blinking through doors was fixed instead of being band-aided by the banhammer

we supposedly will occasionally have events during which xp is optionally boosted to x2 until the even is over, and if the new community allows it, which means you have a say in if it happens or not, they'll allow some beta testers to migrate their 60s here under extremely restricted conditions a few months after launch, but only if you do not oppose them doing that

all of the instances and raids on this server are set to pre-nerf difficulty, but not on Kronos
yes, this does mean someone has to beat pre-nerf C'thun before the devs unlock Naxxaramas, but thats probably the worst of it; regardless, it means that the hardcore players are gonna stay for at least 5 years after the server starts, unless they give up(please don't nerf C'thun)


all cosmetic changes should be completely disallowed here, and I don't see any signs of the devs allowing it, nor do i see signs of the devs ever allowing race or faction changes, which also should not be allowed here
personally I wouldn't mind if name changes were only allowed at level 6-9, and then only by a GM ticket, though it'd probably be alot easier to just disallow name changes altogether, unless a name is deemed offensive or something

and @ kahari, race changes are not just cosmetic changes, that would really turn some people away from this server, and it enables you to minmax really hard if you have enough IRL money to do name changes twice or more a week

There's no flame or hate, just facts
Pointing out and discuss differences is not hating.

Fun fact : did you know you can buy fully geared characters on TwinStar's servers ?
