Key to a large population

[taru]

Im waiting for both Kronos and Nostalrious. Whoever launches first gots me as a player.

THIS!

There is one main known difference for now : gold respec cap (10g vs 50g)
Let's see the impact it has.

Hmm don t know think 85% of players will never respec or maybe 1-2 times and don t forget respec cost can dekay that means each month 1 lvl back example you must pay 20 gold 1 month later 15 gold ( don t know anymore belive it dekay 5 gold back per month but could not less dekay of a minimum of 10 gold.)

I can promise you that if you bring out the server in advance, the more players will feel attached to the server with their characters, and if its top notch as you indeed tell us and show in videos than you should try to release as soon as possible. You will need to give a release date first, 2-3 weeks in advance. This on its own will create a huge amount of hype as many players are discouraged by the fact they need to wait for Kronos for so long and the "progress bar" moving so damn slowly (1% in 3 months) and as i have seen from their forums, they are not confident at all about releasing before 21 december.


If you really wanna be smart about it give a release date and aim to release early-mid december.

I might be wrong here but if you plan to go on a long advertisement route and hope people will stop waiting for Kronos that already promises so much.. you are gona have a bad time..

RELY ON MOUTH TO MOUTH ADVERTISEMENT! show the people that the server is ready, people are waiting in lines for Kronos to release and many are just posting "WHEN ARE YOU GONA RELEASE?!?!" as ED-RB and other realms are not giving what people desire.


TLDR; Release in advance so people will get attached to their characters and show that this is indeed most advanced server making people flock here as they get proof from their friends that will play here (many desperate players who want authentic vanilla experience)

please, the respec cost cap Kronos is setting pales in comparison to the faction/race changing Kronos is allowing
its almost a non-issue compared to that and it seems like almost all of them are fine with the faction/race changing option, likely since only 1-2 changes are allowed per character

Don't expect many non-blizzlike changes on Nostalrius. The devs seem pretty stern about that.

Totally agree with Svalur. If this server really is ready to go, then we need a release date soon in order to launch at least a few weeks before Kronos if this server wants any chance at success.

The respec thing will just end up a wash imo. Some people will prefer the Kronos change, while others will prefer that Nostalrius is standing firm with 100% Blizzlike. It's not going to make a significant difference in population.

The thing that's really going to matter is who launches first.

Even though I'm signed up for a guild on Kronos...whichever comes out first will most likely get priority.

[Sélenne]

I don't care about Kronos, even if NR's release is after 6 months I'll play here because I know what means quality.

[Shadowlurk]

I agree that we need a release date soon. Within the next week or so. Gotta really start building that hype.
