KRONOS

Dear Community,

As the year comes to an end, we would like to take a moment to thank you all for the time you’ve spent with us here on Kronos. We hope that over the holiday season each and every one of you are able to celebrate and spend time with your families and friends. Staff will be slower to respond to tickets over the next few weeks, but we will be around and we will get to your requests for help. We have also closed applications for the GM Team. Selected applicants will be contacted by us shortly after the holidays.
