Nah. Server is run by a Czech outfit and the physical location is in a nation that gave NA / EU trade laws the middle finger involving private servers. The Twinstar staff has been the last man standing 3 times over the course of different private Vanilla servers going to crap or getting C&D's that shut them down.
The server has a vpn/proxy ban in place that keeps out mainland China players so that's a point in Kronos' favor in a huge way. The scripting is very good but not perfect in some cases. Some of the open world mobs get 'stuck' in world geometry rarely, which looks bush league as all hell when it happens. Pet pathing is only mediocre as well. Most of the class ability mechanics + talents + item interaction are top notch though. It's the only Vanilla server that has correct pre BC rage generation in place for warriors and bears, as well as having correct Troll Priest Shadowguard spell proc interaction with shadow weaving, blackout, and spellpower gains from temp buff sources. That spell has always been a pain because Stock Mang0s drew Shadowguard mechanics from Wands and has issues with effect ownership, requiring hand written code to solve it.
The Dungeon instances are exceptionally well scripted. Glancing blows were finally correctly coded as well. But I'm done singing the praises of the Kronos project as I just want to play Blizzard Classic on a North American server with other 1st world players of my region and leave the whole private server business behind.
