Kraken — Project Update

Recruit a Friend A personal invitation link is available in your account dashboard. Your friend must register a new account through this link. Both players receive rewards when the invited friend reaches these levels: • Level 20: the inviter receives 100 gold and the invited friend 20 gold; both receive 3 days of level 1 Premium. • Level 40: the inviter receives 200 gold and the invited friend 40 gold; both receive 5 days of level 1 Premium. • Level 60: the inviter receives 300 gold and the invited friend 60 gold; both receive 7 days of level 1 Premium. Each threshold rewards an account only once. Gold is delivered by in-game mail; you can choose the receiving character on the invitations page. An existing higher Premium tier is not downgraded. Levels granted by a transfer do not count as leveling progress. The level 60 threshold is currently available in Classic. Partners have their own bonuses. The store now offers two separate Classic-to-Vanilla+ services, priced at 1,200/600 KC: • Copy — the original character remains in Classic. • Transfer — after the Vanilla+ character has been successfully created, the original Classic character is permanently deleted. This requires separate confirmation and entering the character's name. Choose a specialization before paying. The website shows the exact starting equipment, level, and gold: • Below level 40 — your level is preserved; you receive uncommon equipment for your class and specialization and 30 gold. • Levels 40–49 — your level is preserved; you receive a level 40 crafted set with suitable additional items and 50 gold. • Levels 50–59 — you start at level 50 with a complete level 50 equipment set, the mastery questline completed, and 100 gold. • Level 60 — you start at level 50 with a complete level 50 equipment set, the mastery questline completed, and 150 gold. The character is transferred with new starting equipment. Old items, money, bank contents, professions, and achievements are not copied. Talents must be reassigned and abilities learned from trainers. If the name is taken, you must rename the character. You can now apply to transfer from another project to Classic or Vanilla+. The administration verifies ownership using a screenshot with the application code and agrees the transfer details with you. Replies and application status are available in your account dashboard.
