KURO PRE-LAUNCH UPDATE - JULY 12, 2026

KURO PRE-LAUNCH UPDATE - JULY 11, 2026 LAUNCH: Saturday, July 18, 2026 at 3:00 PM (in 6 days) https://uploads.playkuro.com/forum/images/1783743712981-fbc8410d8c822b91.png FIRST, THE WORK It's been a grind of a week. In the last 3 days we've fixed over 337 skill issues , and in the 3 days before that we reworked 57 skills with fresh icons and animations. Six days, and the broken-skill era is officially over. From here we're moving into final balancing and locking in the final numbers for launch. SOME HONESTY ABOUT HOSTING Today our current host went down — and on top of that, they disabled the hypervisor on our machine without warning, which killed the setup running our website. With 1,700 members in our Discord and launch in 6 days, I'm done gambling on this host. I want to migrate to proper infrastructure before launch, not after it breaks under real player load. Concretely, that means: A bigger, stronger host built for launch traffic Anti-DDoS protection Additional login locations — right now we only have Asia and North America, and neither is great A dedicated test server , so updates get properly tested before they ever touch live Expanded backup storage with off-site redundancy — we run hourly SQL backups, and even if a host dies on us (like today), nothing gets lost Monitoring and alerting tools , so we know something's wrong before you do Google Workspace for the team + AI development tools that speed up how fast we ship fixes THE FASHION PASS To fund this, we're releasing something special for launch — and it will never be released again: the Fashion Pass . One-of-a-kind Item, Untradeable An account-bound pass for the fashion-conscious. While held: Unlimited free Pet Gachapon Unlimited free Chair Gachapon Unlimited free Premium Hair/Face styling Unlimited free Fusion Anvils Beauty Salon storage slots Can be passed between characters on the same account via the Storage. Never expires. The details: Only 20 exist in the world. Two are already reserved for supporters who previously donated (I'll be contacting you directly) — so 18 are available . $250 each — and you also receive double the MP for what you paid ($500 worth). Already donated before? Your previous donations count toward the $250. 100% cosmetic and convenience. Zero power. Zero P2W. That stance doesn't bend, not even for this. Once these 18 are claimed, the Fashion Pass never returns . Interested? DM me directly on Discord. YOUR DONATIONS CARRY TO LAUNCH A reminder for everyone who has supported us so far: every donation made up until now fully transfers to Launch — whether you've spent your Maple Points or not. Nothing is lost, nothing resets. Also, heads up: the 25% bonus Maple Points promotion ends on Launch day . If you've been thinking about it, this week is the best value you'll get. TO BE CLEAR This is not a rescue fund and I'm not asking anyone to open their wallet. KuroMS launches July 18 no matter what. This is about launching on infrastructure that doesn't blink when hundreds of you log in at once. Every dollar goes into the server, and once the migration is done I'll post a follow-up on this forum showing exactly where it went. LAUNCH: Saturday, July 18, 2026 at 3:00 PM (in 6 days) Happy Mapling! ~ Kuro
