KRONOS

Greetings Kronos,
It has been awhile since our last community update and as you have seen a lot has happened, so we wanted to take some time to go through some of these things.

The Experience Event:

When the talk among the team first started about holding an experience event given the current time/place we were at with the War Effort and Ahn’Qiraj upcoming, we knew it would be controversial. We were in a position where it was the best time to try and bring new players to the community in time for the great war effort and the one time opening of the gates of Ahn’Qiraj. This incentive program had its detractors (as expected), but they were in the minority as overall the event was a huge success. We are very happy to report that many new players have come to make Kronos their home, and we’ve reached peaks of nearly 2000 players logged in at a time. We are very happy with the results of this limited time event, and are excited to see many new friendships and rivalries that the influx of new players calling Kronos home has started. So we’d like to take time out to thank both our existing population who stuck with us through this limited event, and welcome those who have joined our great community!

The Nightmare Dragon Shuffle:

Our initial intention was to have the nightmare dragons spawn all together, but as the community was made aware we ended up having to do one dragon at a time. We are happy to report that all four nightmare dragons are now linked to the same respawn timer and will all spawn at the same time in the four random locations. The world dragon releases mostly went off without issues, and there were often times 300+ players competing for the kill. This was great to see, and we were able to get a lot of great footage from these releases!

Kronos One Year Anniversary:

March marked the one year anniversary of the launch of Kronos. There are always going to be challenges, but we were quite happy with the success we’ve had in year one and are taking steps towards making improvements so that year two will be even better! There’s a lot to look forward to, and we’re excited for the future. We debated about throwing a weekend celebration, but in the end we decided that our best effort should be put towards both bug fixes and development.

New Team Members:

Weeks ago we began looking for new Game Masters. We’re happy to announce that we received a record number of applications. Thank you all for sending in applications and volunteering your time, without our staff volunteers the community experience on Kronos would be significantly impaired. We’re thrilled to announce that we brought in 6 new GMs to the team – Matheson, Cademus, Ilmus, Lightsky, Sloppyjoe, Kruxi. Our Game Masters work very hard to help promote community and to help the community solve problems that they run into, and we’re happy to have them as part of our team!

New Website!

One of our goals of 2016 was a new website. We’ve been hard at work on this project, and we’ve made good progress on it. The website will have some additional features and a new layout. We don’t have an eta on when it will launch, but we’re making steady progress. We have however done a little temporary revamp on some areas of our website that needed some TLC, including cleaning up and updating the rules of the server. You can find those here.

That’s it for this update, we’ll see you around Azeroth!

Dear Players,

We’re content with the results of our limited time boost event, it’s great to see a lot of new players and still more and more are coming to join the community every day. We like to thank all the players for being a great community and for spreading the word.

Greetings Players,

Kronos needs new Game Masters!

As our community grows, so does the demand for quality support. We will be hosting an open recruitment for the position of Game Master, beginning on February 22nd.

Over the recent weeks, the Kronos team and Azeroth have had a growing chill down our collective spines. The landscape of Azeroth is about to change, never to be the same again!

The Dragons of Nightmare

The Dragons of Nightmare are fast approaching!
Warped by some uncontrollable dark energy that has plagued the emerald dream, four dragons are emerging into Azeroth from the great trees. These dragons are a threat to Azeroth, and must be stopped before they spread madness, terror, and death to all inhabitants of our world.

The first of these dragons shall arrive on a day “loved” by some, and despised by others. On this day, those we love may be lost as the carnage between the factions of Azeroth runs rampant. It will forever be remembered as the Valentines Day Massacre!

Every 14 days from the emergence of the first dragon, another shall follow until all four dragons
of nightmare have been unleashed.

The War Effort

Azeroth faces a war from many fronts. The Silithid Invasion was the mere beginning of a far greater insecticide menace, and this must be stopped! The long forgotten city stronghold of Ahn’Qiraj seems to be the focal point of this threat, but it will take the strength of both factions working together in order to breach the enchanted Scarab wall and open the Gates of Ahn’Qiraj.

Generals on both sides are currently devising plans on how to handle these threats, but there is a significant lack of resources to get it done. Azeroth needs each and every one of its heroes, now more than ever! Starting one week after the arrival of the first nightmare dragon, all of Azeroth will be asked to help gather as many resources as they can muster in a War Effort to help open up the gates of Ahn’Qiraj.

But with so much bloodshed and hatred between the factions, will it even be possible for them to put aside their differences and work together for the common good? Are there enough heroes to help curb the dragon threat and help demolish the insect menace?

With the Dragons of Nightmare and the War Effort upon us, Azeroth needs every man, woman, (and maybe even a few strong gnomes) to help defend our world from peril. The time for action is now!

Experience Boost

Missed the hype-train and haven’t had the chance to experience the sheer epic-ness of Kronos? To celebrate the release of coming events, starting on February 19th Kronos will have an optional 1-7x exp boost that will run until March 28th. This is your chance to become part of the Kronos experience.

Battleground Reputation Boost

PvP is very important to the Kronos Team, and to many members of our community. As such, to enhance battleground participation we’re making the following changes to bolster the bloodshed. Note: these changes will be revised by our team at a later date after we have monitored and evaluated the results.

Warsong Gulch
Warsong flag reputation rewards will be increased by x2.
Mark reputation will remain as is.

Arathi Basin
Tick reputation gain will be increased by x4.
Mark reputation will remain as is.

We’re through the looking glass; Azeroth has never been such a dangerous place! Only the smart, the brave, and the heroic shall survive the peril. Will you be among them? Or will you be a casualty? Time will tell…
