| Chemp's fight | Posted By: Wolven at: 10:04:14 |
||||
| After a couple weeks of reduced raiding due to hockey playoffs and some asshole going on vacation we zoned into BT to start off our first full raid week of the spring. After working out a few kinks and knocking off some rust we managed to get through all our farm bosses before the end of the raid. Since we had some time to kill we cleared to Gurtogg to give him a few minutes of our time. Once we got to Gurtogg we checked the time, 20 minutes until raid end, and at this point Chemp stepped up and took charge. He showed that even though he cannot dominate the DPS charts as completely as he used to in raids gone past, he was still able to take charge and lead the way through the Bloodboils and Fel Rages and deliver Gurtogg unto death. Even more impressive, Chemp did all this with his left hand down the front of his pants, Al Bundy style. |

| IP Changes | Posted By: Mandrake at: 10:28:59 |
||||
| Over the next couple of days the IP address of the web server will be changing over to our new connection. I have also just been informed by my ISP that they will be changing my IP again mid-May so there will be another announcement like this one coming up again. If the site is unresponsive for some time that is the reason why. |

| KinTour 2008 | Posted By: Wolven at: 08:52:41 |
||||
| That's right, in continuation of the orginal KinTour of 7 years ago we are getting ready for the summer and that means planning out our yearly get together. The location has been set, Las Vegas, but we are still trying to solidify a date. The June weekend has been tossed out and we are now looking at mid-July. Please hit the forums and the calendar to let us know if this is something you can make and who will be coming with you for the weekend. Once enough people confirm we will be looking for whatever package deals we can get. |

| The demise of Teron Gorefiend | Posted By: Wolven at: 22:48:27 |
||||
| The dreaded Teron Gorefiend makes for a very interesting fight. The battle seems to be as much with player's UIs as it is with the curious ghost game mechanic as pet bars disappear and other such fun events. Still, once those minor kinks were worked out of the system we were able to put Teron behind us and put a little bit of time into that whacky fun fight with Bloodboil. The last attack of the night was very promising and I look forward to when we next get to fight him. Enjoy the night off tomorrow and Go Flames Go! |

| Teh Website is slow?!? | Posted By: Wolven at: 11:26:10 |
||||
| I would like to thank the few people who have noticed that the website is in fact a little sluggish lately. Since the server moved we have been having some connection problems due to the quality of the lines at the new facility. We are planning to switch ISPs sometime in the next couple of weeks in order to resolve the issue. |

| Double Down! | Posted By: Wolven at: 07:30:49 |
||||
| Chalk up another solid night for the team. On a whim we went into Black Temple to check out our buddy Akama. He has been telling us what to do for a little while and we figured it was time he started handing out some rewards for our efforts. After we were done with Akama's Shade we packed up and got ported over to Hyjal. We had some unfinished business with the trash before Kaz'ogal. On patch-day Tuesday we ended up wiping to that trash as the server went down and stayed down for half an hour or so. Last night however we cleaned thoroughly thrashed the trash and one-shot Kaz'rogal along with. There was still time leftover before our scheduled raid end time so we decided to see exactly how hard Azgalor really was. |

| Our first venture into BT | Posted By: Wolven at: 00:21:57 |
||||
| Today was a toss up as to what we were going to be doing right up until it was time to zone in. At the last minute after looking at our group it was obvious that the way to go would be to go for our first look in the famed Black Temple. After a bit of a struggle with the trash (oops) we ran into this spine throwing guy. After watching him impale a few people and then blow up the raid we felt it would be just returns to kill him and take his stuff. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to get people to do something as simple as stand still for a picture and of course they all think they are really funny. After that we ended up having a conversation about women with fetishes for fat guys and I gotta say that Supremus is a really fat guy right now. In fact, we had to run all the way up the stairs to get far enough away to take this picture with his body |

| 2.4 patch today | Posted By: Wolven at: 07:22:48 |
||||
| The patch is out and even though the server is not up yet you can already download your client patch and have it installed and ready. For some of us updating mods will be a simple thing: back up your AddOns folder and then run the AceUpdater. For others updating mods is an adventure of searching through overloaded websites to find the new copy of a mod, if it is out. If the server plays nice with us tonight we will be starting our focus on Tier6 after the last couple of weeks of farming Tier5 and attuning people. |

| Anyone else notice Anetheron had a lisp? | Posted By: Wolven at: 00:08:12 |
||||
| We had a really slow raid week after wasting a lot of time on Tuesday, Thursday AND Sunday to our farming. The week wasn't a complete waste though because after we got Vashj and Kael out of the way we went into Hyjal for an hour of new content. Rage was still a push over and the trash was still a really big pain in the ass to loot. I think we had a couple items rot. How goofy. In the end though after a couple of attenpts we got in our new boss kill, Anetheron. Happy St. Patrick's day tomorrow to you all. Make sure you get in your vast amounts of green beer. |

| Farewell Tier5. | Posted By: Wolven at: 08:47:46 |
||||
| The tale of last night is one of "getting shit done". We had a lot to do, only a little time to do it and we did a helluva job getting it done. We killed Vashj again and got our 3rd sea witch robe and finally got our first Defender hat token to drop (sheesh). We then went to kael, and after getting rid of some dead weight *cough Morag cough*, we got to take another picture. This picture though was more than a little satisfying because we had one of those goofy flaming bird mounts drop. I hear they are a big deal so we went and took yet another picture. After that we were bumming around and realized that we had more time until the end of the raid. So after a quick flight down to Tanaris, and a small jump back in time, we found some Rage Winterchill guy and killed him too. Excellent killing last night everyone, it was great getting our first Tier6 kill and I look forward to many more. |

| With the holidays coming to an end it is time to see if we are interested in hitting the 25 man content again or if we still need to find those few missing pieces to get things going again.

| Happy New Years! | Posted By: Wolven at: 11:10:53 |
||||
| New Years represents a time of new beginings as well as a time to reflect on the past. For Kindread we look back on 10 years of gaming, starting from a small group of guys gaming in their basements and going to the community we have today. All I have to say is that I have had a lot of fun and I look forward to what comes next in both new games, technology and Kindread events. The resolution to not be fat and lazy is a tough one, especially for us gamers, but go ahead and make it and see how long you can go before you break it completely ;) Have a fun night everyone and we'll see you in 2008. |

| The Silver Lining | Posted By: Wolven at: 09:26:11 |
||||
| A lot has happened in our community over the past couple months and while I know it has been very hard on a number of us I am really pleased with recent events. In fact, I am overjoyed to announce the return of some great friends who have been away from us as well as a return to WoW for some players that had departed from the game but in light of recent events have returned to partake in the fun. Kaeden and Salinus, to the two of you welcome back to the guild. It has been a long time coming and I know from what I have seen in guild chat and in the forums that everyone is thrilled to see you both return. Eternity has also rejoined us and I am sure the guys are all awaiting the day when her computer is fixed and she is able to giggle in vent again. Lord of Autumn, one of our fast paced killers from the FPS days has recently contacted the community and moved his character to K'T so that he could join in our gleeful killing of monsters and players alike. Icon, Zylla and Bosgaurus have all reactivated their accounts and all that needs to be said is that they are bringing Sexah back. Before this post gets much longer I just wanted to say that I am thrilled with what I have seen recently and I am looking forward to having fun gaming with all of you clowns. |

| Drunken Revelations, although I am sober now... | Posted By: Mandrake at: 16:26:37 |
||||
| So I was sitting at 1410, a pub near my place in Calgary that we frequent, and Casey was trying to persuade me to pick up the Warcrack again. Eventually the conversation moved away from what I didn’t like about the game and I started to think about what I like about games. I realized it wasn’t the activities necessarily, although there can be a definite rush when you get a good killing streak going. It wasn’t the big explosions or pretty graphics necessarily, although those are also not a drawback. What I really like is the teamwork. When this came to me, I realized I was thinking about the times I have played Battlefield 2 over the last couple years and specifically when playing with a squad. This kind of game is getting to the point where you don’t necessarily need to put together a team and compete in a competition to be fun. This was true of Tribes back in the day as well but the coordination and squad advantages that these games bestow on their players really help to get the players working together and when people who are already familiar with each others play style come together, the result can be deadly. I thought about some of my more recent Battlefield 2 experiences with Puck and I know there were some awesome times in there. Even though Puck’s mic is always broken, he and I have played enough together that I just babble useless information to fill the void and he knows exactly what to do. I can remember getting in on Dalian Plant and having the two of us going AT and camping the entrance to the People’s Army base. The two of use were unstoppable, the commander wisely dropped an ammo crate for us and everything that drove down that road received a double dose of Kindread love. Helicopters, tanks, jeeps, APCs, all fell before us and we didn’t even have to talk about it, we both just new exactly what to do to make it work. We must have held that position for at least 5 minutes and destroyed probably a dozen vehicles. It’s that kind of teamwork that stands out to me as being the most fun, that working together to get the goal accomplished pushing forward that line and dominating the map. Tribes had it, Battlefield has it, I hope that Quake Wars has it. Anyway, I just want to thank everyone for making those kinds of experiences possible and I hope that you are all getting the kind of excitement and happiness that I get out of those experiences every time I pick up and play with a fellow Kindread member. |

| KinEvent 2007 success! | Posted By: Wolven at: 10:27:29 |
||||
| Last night was the big wing night send off for Melantha as Bosnianchild, Nikki and Omicron all had to leave earlier and it was a good close to the weekend. I do really enjoy the years where we go out of town and play tourist in various cities but I had a blast showing people the sites around Calgary as well as a sample of the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth. I would like to thank all of the other locals that took the time to come out and party this weekend. I was a bit worried that our turn out was going to be really poor since a lot of people who were going to be flying into Calgary ended up having to cancel but my worries were put away when we had 20+ people show up for the BBQ on Friday. We'll get the pictures hosted up on the gallery and start planning the 2008 event sometime after that. |

Saturday we'll be heading down to the Stampede grounds, check out the concerts or rodeo or other such places that will have alcohol. Sunday's plans are still up in the air.

||||
| We have been getting swamped by murlocs in our Morogrim Tidewalker fight over the last couple of weeks, and yes, I want to emphasize the fact that there is a raid boss with murlocs. Last night that came to an end however as on our 'last attempt of the night' we brought another virtual monster to its knees. Between the noxious fart bubbles from Morogrim himself and the waves of murlocs it is certainly an entertaining fight. |

| We have had a very busy weekend and the results are very positive for our Casual team as they zoned into Gruul with a number of new faces and after a very frustrating 1% wipe they finished the job and earned their first Gruul Kill. Excitement was very high as they are now looking to repeat the kill on Tuesday and then begin working on Magtheridon's Lair. Keep on top of the forums for strats, schedules and all the other business of killing virtual monsters! |

| High King Down Again! Better than the first time? | Posted By: Wolven at: 08:52:03 |
||||
| Kindread has downed High King Maulgar! What makes this such a big deal is not the fact that the guild has killed a boss that the 'progress trackers' show we have killed already, what makes this a big deal is that it was the first raid boss kill for our second raid group. No, this was not an 'alt run'. At the same time Maulgar was dying to the Cas team we had another raid group getting a guild first Lurker kill in SSC! I personally am very proud to be able to announce this kill as it has been my goal for months to see Kindread field two 25 man raid groups and even a short while ago people were still saying it could not be done. Great gaming everyone! |

| Great work to the raid tonight. We went into SSC without a solid idea of which boss we were going to attempt, we picked Hydross as the harder boss and in our first night of attempts we put him to shame. It was the first night of a transition of changes that will be going into our raiding structure so everyone please check into the forums regularly and start posting so that you stay up to date with the changes taking place over the next couple weeks. We'll be back at it again after the reset on Tuesday, until then, stay sexy. |

| Magtheridon, the Mag that doesn't have 2 heads and flaming drool | Posted By: Wolven at: 08:32:26 |
||||
| Last week we established a mission to kill Magtheridon. We set up our schedule to go into Magtheridon's Lair as often as we could. We went in and worked on Magtheridon both before and after the big 2.1 patch on Tuesday and during our major attempts on Wednesday we knew we had him dead. Last night we walked in and made short order of the kill as we slapped a collar on WoW's second Mag in the second raid lair of TBC and made him our bitch. After Magtheridon Shiektal and I immediately got talking about a joint Serpentshrine Cavern raid between Kindread and ílluminati. In a short amount of time we assembled our joint raid and zoned in to SSC, ready to check out the new zone. Within minutes we were killing naga and their minions and within minutes after that we were already lost trying to sneak our way through the instance. Luckily we found a nice fishing hole and hung out there for the evening working on The Lurker Below. Thanks much to everyone who participated in the raids last night, I had a blast and am looking forward to doing it again. |

| Kindread's Remembrance Day | Posted By: Wolven at: 23:24:38 |
||||
Around this time of year Mandrake, myself and several other members take a moment to talk and reflect about one of our dear friends who is no longer with us, UltraPimp. Kindread has grown a lot over the past few years and in that growth we find that it is important to share our history with our new friends and in sharing that history we remember and honour a great person. The following news re-post can be found in our archives as well as a post made in the member's forums by Dr. Digital at the time.
In your video gaming, take a moment to savagely decimate your opponent, thoroughly beat them into submission and then drop a witty bit of smack talk such that they remember who you are and who The Kindread are. That is what UltraPimp[Kin] would do. |

| After a disappointing turnout for Gruul's over the past couple of weeks we got our raid group together during a prime time raid and got Maulgar deaded. We will be going back in next Sunday with the goal of repeating that ogre killing and moving onto Gruul himself. Check the forums for more details. As has been repeated by a few people, its nice to get back into a larger raid once again. Thanks all. |

| TBC countdown to an end | Posted By: Wolven at: 14:24:07 |
||||
| As most of us are aware, the countdown to World of Warcraft's expansion, The Burning Crusade, ends tonight at midnight (eastern). For those of us who planned ahead, we will be getting our copies of the game either tonight or in the mail tomorrow. A lot of people have been waiting a long time to finally see how all of the changes to the game we have been playing for the last 2 years will impact Kindread. So top up your drinks and get ready to start the rush to 70 and beyond! |

| Happy New Years | Posted By: Wolven at: 14:32:53 |
||||
| With another year coming to a close we get to knotch yet another year of gaming together. I always like to take this time to reflect on important things like how much I enjoy days that give me an excuse to drink with my friends... well, at least drink more than we normally do. Have a great party everyone. |

| News from ROME! | Posted By: Wolven at: 09:03:55 |
||||
| After a quick visit to the site a few days ago I realised that no new News had been posted. It may seem a bit odd for me to make a post while I travel and am completely disconnected from gaming but I was in a store today that was selling video games and it made me hungry to get on here and at the very least show myself. From what I hear on the grapevine, Bliz has FUBAR'd raiding and set the scene for everyone to take a deep breath and relax. We may not all get to go to Spain, Italy, Germany and Sweden but with Xmas coming up, then New Years and all the time we should be spending doing related events, it could very well be a blessing in disguise. We knew that this was going to happen and while we did not think Blizzard would take this path the best we can do is recharge and prepare for January. I will be back in a few weeks, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and go have a few strong drinks. |

| MC fun | Posted By: Wolven at: 10:52:18 |
||||
| We had a very entertaining MC run last night, we implemented our new rules that were set up a couple weeks ago and I have to admit that was one of the more entertaining runs that we've had in a long time. There was just a lot of people getting on the same page and having a good, fast raid. To top off the fun raid it was also very nice to get 2 legendary drops, the left binding dropped again and almost went to a hunter but DB ended up picking it up and our second Eye of Sulfuras dropped. After a long talk we finally established that we'd give it to a shaman, Deemer. Thanks for the entertaining night, now lets get back to new content. |

| Consider yourself Instructed. | Posted By: Wolven at: 22:14:59 |
||||
| In the midst of another tiff of guild drama, with people making accusations and losing faith we did what we usually do.. We killed a new boss for the first time. It is ironic that things keep working out this way and I really do hope that we have more progress like AQ40 where we kill shit without losing members as we continue to go forward with our Naxx progress. Great work everyone on a speedy and very well deserved kill. |

| The Emperors are dead, long live the Emperors. | Posted By: Wolven at: 23:46:04 |
||||
| With extreme dedication and fantastic fashion we put together a Sunday afternoon raid and went into AQ40 and took down the TwinEmps. As everyone points out, this is a fight where no one can make a mistake. There is no room for rambo. No one person will make the fight but anyone could break it. After we got our feet wet we had the attempt that "should have been it" and thankfully that wasn't the best attempt of the night. We regrouped got buffed up and had the call of "Everyone DPS" as the last teleport happened before the Twins would enrage. With that call even the tanks went and started executing to give us that little bit extra DPS. Needless to say, I am yet again thrilled by our progress. Excellent job today I can't wait to see us take this momentum to Naxx. |

| Twin Emps on the ropes? | Posted By: Wolven at: 10:35:23 |
||||
| We've had a good few days of learning on the Twin Emps. They are a hard fight and many have been stuck on them for a long time but from what I see we are already very close to getting our system in place to take them out. Unfortunately, we were unable to polish that system off last night so Naxx Sunday has been cancelled for more Twin Emp attempts. Let's get these guys down so that we can check out C'thun and Naxx. |

| Another Princess goes down on Kindread | Posted By: Wolven at: 21:51:37 |
||||
| Not quite as fast of a pace as our previous killing spree on the AQ40 bosses, we have finally tackled the dreaded NR block and are now on our way to Twin Emps and the optional bosses. Fantastic work by everyone who showed up tonight, we had a number of new faces and it was great to see them working so well on a new content raid. I love hearing that song. |

| We're back!! | Posted By: Wolven at: 11:08:58 |
||||
| The website has been down for the last day due to upgrades and aside from a couple sections we should be back up and running. As many of you are aware of by now, we did a bunch of house cleaning on the ingame roster and I'm matching that cleaning on the website. Inactive people have been removed to make room for others. If you are one of the unfortunate few who got 'cleaned out' but feel you can still be a part of our community, fire me an email or post on the forums and we can re-evaluate our position. |

| Welcome to Kindread, we used to trust people | Posted By: Wolven at: 21:50:57 |
||||
| A sad end to a good BWL raid. Kindread has run our raids using free for all loot since we started raiding simply because it was the fastest way to proceed through raids with the least amount of bugs. Tonight, we were ninja looted by Dixy. I fairly quiet priest that we were trying to get into raids and start gearing up. He took the entire Nef loot which would have completed two sets of gear as well as complete some other wish lists for a few of our raiders. The loot wasn't even the big deal, it will all drop again. It was the breach of trust that Dixy performed will mar our raiding and simply force us to no longer trust people such as him. Luckily, I believe in Karma enough that I'm sure he'll get hit by a car or something. At the very least he'll never be able to get into another guild on KT but that will never satisfy my desire for justice. It is a true shame that Blizzard refuses to take a real stance against ninja looting and yet waste so much time changing character's names if they are questionable in some imaginary way. |

| Now that's more like it. | Posted By: Wolven at: 08:01:58 |
||||
| Apparently we just love to beat up on princesses. After the stinkshow that was our raid on Tuesday we had a hard hitting, ass kicking raid last night. We one shotted the bug trio, battleguard and Frank. We then cleared the glorious faction giving trash on the way to HUHU! and decided we had enough time to give it 'one attempt'. In that one attempt we managed to beat HUHU down to 24%, which I think surprised everyone. We are heading back in tonight, this time with all the toys we need for the fight and we'll see if we can push our DPS up enough to kill this so called second princess of aq40. |

| Thanks Frank!!! | Posted By: Wolven at: 10:33:40 |
||||
| We had an extremely strange raid day yesterday. BWL spilled over to the start of the day so we formed up our raid and went in and lay the smackdown onto Nef. Then we found out that we didn't have enough healers to head into AQ40 so for some quick distractions we went to Ony instead and then took a 2 hour break. Doubts were high that we were going to get an aq40 group after the break but it turned out that we not only had a group to go in, we had the group to finish the Fankriss kill. Funny enough, we got the aggro reducing trinket and our huge aggro nubs were not putting their names in for this high demand item so we had to bitch slap a few of them into smartening up. For those keeping score, that is two 'first kills' in a week. Now we need everyone to load up on NR for the Princess resist block because she is going down next. |

| Hey Frank! You're next. | Posted By: Wolven at: 01:00:44 |
||||
| Tonight Battleguard Sartura put up a meagre fight at best as we walked in with a full raid of hard hitting non-drowsy raiders and pinned her shiny razor-sharp wings to the ground. She was kind enough to cough up some epics after we got all Ant-Bully on her ass and then left her lying there waiting to cuddle while we zipped up and moved onto the next batch of new content. Fankriss, already nicknamed Frank for how straight forward he looks, is going to die tomorrow if we can get the people together for a 3rd night of AQ40 in a row. Since we don’t usually pull together those 3-in-a-row nights too often with our already overburdened raid schedule, be ready to kill him on Sunday at the latest. Good work everyone, yet again. |

| Battleguard within an inch of her life | Posted By: Wolven at: 10:53:32 |
||||
| We went in for our first real day of Battleguard attempts and even though I had been slacking and not really doing my homework to prepare for the fight we were quickly able to come up with a working strat to get Battleguard Sartura's adds dead. With a bit of tweaking we had her down to 11% before she went nova and kicked the shit out of us. It was a solid week of raiding. Good work everyone. Tonight is Wing night for everyone in the Calgary area, times and locations are posted up in the forums and pictures of the aftermath will likely follow. |

| Bug Trio Squashed! | Posted By: Wolven at: 11:08:23 |
||||
| Last night we went into AQ40 again after slugging it out with the Bug Trio the last few raid days. We had done a bit more homework and had a couple new ideas to try out so we could keep Princess under control. As we were tweaking our game plan and arguing back and forth after each beating recieved by these three annoying bugs, we got all set up for our last attempt of the night only to find out that we had actually fine tuned our strat enough that we just killed them. No soul stones, no battle resses we just pulled out a can of whoop ass and walked away with some loot. Good work everyone on pulling together for the very fast 'first kill'. Next stop Battleguard Sartura. |

| Second time sweeter than the first | Posted By: Wolven at: 21:53:32 |
||||
| We walked into BWL again this week but we got slapped around by the holidays leaving us short handed for BWL. This screwed around with our schedule but the end result is that we still managed to defeat Nef this week to keep our killing streak alive. What made it so sweet was that we had the hardest colour combo of Red/Blue and we managed to adjust, get through it and get the kill. Amazing work by everyone who stuck through it. It only gets better from here! Read the forums for more about where we hope to go with our raid schedule. |

| Nefarian is Dead! | Posted By: Wolven at: 22:13:57 |
||||
| After far too long we have brought BWL to its knees. We've had a long road filled with people coming and going, drama and worse yet server failures. Through all that we stuck to the principles that makes Kindread what it is and I have to say that we may not be the most hardcore group out there but we are the longest standing, classiest and best looking group I've ever seen in online gaming. When things get hard we banded together better than ever to succeed in a glorious way. Thank you all for the effort put into bringing us to this point and I look forward to where we go next. |
