Kronos WoW

[Grubbz]

Server comes back up tomorrow, anyone plan on playing Kronos 2?

[Daywolf]

Why did it go down? Nah, have an account there, but nasty lags to me at FEMA region 9. I gave up with my short try on wow emu's after Nost was eliminated. I played wow on live a few years in, didn't like it at all. But playing on the vanilla emu servers, wasn't so bad. done and done.

[NegaStoat]

Edit - Kronos was a great server when I started playing back during the 26 day Open beta, all the way up until the Nostalrius "we're closing down" announcement. The events that followed from that effectively turned the server project into Nostalrius 2.0. Chero really screwed up in going for 'success = crazy pop' as opposed to his original mission statement of 'success=authentic classic'. Nostalrius had no appeal to me, and now sadly Kronos doesn't either.

Couldn't get on when the 2nd server launched, gave up.

Not sitting in a 2000+ queue for an hour and being kicked to the login screen a dozen times :p

[Tankdan]

[Grubbz]

Gonna be playing horde side, so ill post my name here when it launches tuesday.

Alliance sucks.

[icedwards]

I'm out of the loop, what happened to kronos? Did it get the not treatment?

I could be wrong but I think they've been under massive DDOS attack for weeks

[icedwards]

Damn shame. Haven't logged on in ~ a month but it was a pretty solid server for nostalrius refugees.

[Grubbz]

Yes they were under massive DDOS attacks so they decided to relocate the server hardware, aiming for better server performance.

[Swish]

Guess I'll give it another try maybe when it relaunches :p

Yeah I started playing for a day or two, I'm a level 6 Night Elf Hunter my name is Knukle. Glad to see they are going back up heard they have a system to prevent DDoS attacks moving forward?

That it needs, performance was crud when I was on there, prolly worse since nos shut down and waves of refugees incoming. I have a night elf hunter in the 40's there, just disconnects and lag was horrendous. Though otherwise was a good server. That's what I was wondering, if they did move, means fiddling with my install to point to the new location if I ever do log in again.. though no plans.
Thanks 4 share , back to geo engineering thread I guessWell, fortunately I'm one of three people in this thread that still plays on p99, and I just rolled a new cleric, so yes sounds like a plan as I med.

Alliance is for chumps, reroll horde.

[Tankdan]

anyone know BG win/loss ratios for horde/alliance? Kronos II mostly.

[Grubbz]

Server coming within the next few hours, get your hot pockets and mt dew ready boyz

I've always played alliance, i like the challenge in BGs of having incompetent teammates

mod of kronos2 subreddit went mad and closed the sub in an effort to get on staff

many blessings to Swish and his bride - they're made for each other, this is destiny!

Was probably all in Czech anyway, nobody reading that

[Grubbz]

Server is up but the lag is unreal, there was over 120 people in the undead starting area so i can only imagine how many people are currently online.

[Grubbz]

Got to level 4 and logged out, 3k MS and fighting with 100+ people for a few mobs is whack, talk to you guys later.

what piece of shit took my name? lol. Inevitable I suppose, didn't get about the next 3-4 choices either and some of those are quite obscure.

[Knuckle]

lag is bad, someone post if they see it improve

[applesauce25r624]

Why did it go down?

they shut out proxies so there's a bunch of chinese that are upset and ddosing kronos 1&2

[Swish]

server shutdown, they're tying to do something about the lag i guess.

[Swish]

my ping is now a steady 60... worth a look, will probably get worse again later

[Daywolf]

my ping is now a steady 60... worth a look, will probably get worse again laterMust be nice. My ping to p99 is double that. To kronos x5. That's main reason I left kronos and went to nost, which was only a x4 the ping you get hehe.

[Swish]

Yeah I get 100-120 on P99 :/

[barrettdc1]

NA here, I was getting around 150 ping on Kronos I before it went down, which was totally fine for me. I just logged on an hour ago, it seemed stable with a ping of around 170. Just tried logging in again now, and can't connect.

[Grubbz]

taking a break from the server, can't play with 300ms.

[barrettdc1]

Lag has been fine for me in the last couple weeks. They brought the server down to do something the other day and played after they brought it back up and had no lag. Haven't been on in the last couple days.

[DMN]

Might give one of the old school servers a whirl. I'm totally burnt on my necro. Hit 56 an then get trained about 8 times, dying 4 times, wasting about 6 hours total doing CR and begging for rezs because of other peoples stupidity. What's the best one for people in NA? Again, old school. Certainly no further than burning legion.

[DMN]

Meh. never mind. Played kronos 2 for a bit. Overcrowded as hell and the community is a bunch of barely literate troglodytes.

I'd recommend Kronos 1.

[Bazia]

current wow very underrated tbh

[DMN]

Overcrowded. mediocre ping(150-200), mixed with with massive lag that can last for hours(2-3k ping)- great stuff for a PvP server. Half the time i was playing I couldn't even loot corpses that lag was so bad.

On top of that, after only a short time on the server I saw 2 different people hacking already. also great on a PvP server.

I think the kronos folks are in way over their heads.

[JurisDictum]

If you are going to play WoW...just play WoW IMO. It's not like EQ where it is hard to catch up.

new tbc pve server opening today, it's canadian hosted so NA actually gets a good ping for once

Please tell me you aren't talking about Vengeance.

Edit: Or you mean Stonetalon?

[Nibblewitz]

Since when do crazies flock to legacy servers? No wonder Blizz won't do it themselves.

[Alenon]

I have friends from nostalrius that went to the l4g tbc server, thought about trying it

[dafier]

rebirth is awesome.

[DMN]

That vengeance server sucks. Useless staff and bugged crap up the butt. Population of antisocial clowns who can barely articulate 2 word phrases.

Oh and seone hacked my account about 20 minutes after I made my first one.

That whole vengeance operation sems like a clown show and I wouldn't trust them to babysit my pet rock.

[Grubbz]

the only good options for private servers are kronos and warmane. kronos has 2 vanilla servers with good population while warmane has 2 wotlk servers with over 12k players daily. other servers might have better scripting but whats the point in playing there if theres no one to play with?

[DMN]

Screw them EU servers.

You must have played Stonetalon. It's a PvE server first of all and it's other PvP server has been up for quite a while. Wildhammer is the server you should play on anyway. Unless you're a bluebie. Then you fit right in.

Also these servers are Canadian based you idiots. Wildhammer kicks ass.

Rebirth has over 500 on....almost all the damn time.

[georgie]

might give it a 2nd strike as red is only fun once per week via pvp.
