¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hi friends. I write this with some glee and some sadness. We haven’t been able to field a raid in a couple weeks without significant PUG efforts. Apparently Sire Denathrius (Heroic) is a little much for our casual nature. Some of us went out and picked up AOTC for shits & giggles, but getting the right group with the right amount of attempts to kill that guy has not happened.

Also, not sure if you are aware, but it’s warming up quite a bit. Oh and you can totally get a COVID vaccine. What’s that mean? Well we still log on and stuff… just don’t expect to see a new kill shot for the tenth boss on heroic. For sure don’t expect anything from Mythic raid either.

Maybe some of us will casual it up in the next content pack. Maybe. Until next time:

Recruitment

**Updated 3/3**

Hi there — if you are reading this and aren’t already playing with us… wait, why aren’t you playing with us? Did you know we are looking for a few more chill casuals to dependably raid with us on Tuesdays & Wednesdays from 8:30p to 11:30p Eastern? Wait that sounds mad late — make that 7:30p to 10:30p Central.

Right now we are 8/10H and pushing for that fancy <Ahead of the Curve> thing people get so torn up about. Our needs really are with good DPS, but if you have a tank/heal offspec that’s good for flexibility.

Feel free to drop a comment below, find us in game, or join Discord to discuss further. Perfectly ok with a try before you buy (we kinda prefer that anyways).

The good news is we are ‘official’ on both Frostmane & Illidan, but have some good people that join us from other servers so they can stay with their RL friends/guilds. You can do that too! Wild times out here in 2021.

Shadowlands!

If you are reading this, you are probably surprised the website is working. If that’s you: hey join us in Discord!

A few of the old timers + some new friends (or spouses in some cases) are roaming around doing mythical things back on Frostmane. A few of us have been lucky enough to craft our BIS-ish legendaries and some are waiting for the appropriate memory to drop.

The pandemic is still going strong, so you might as well re-sub for a bit 🙂

Happy Birthday, Kinetic

While I was finishing quests to unlock Highmountain Tauren last week, I had a thought: is this still the same Kinetic it always was? In that moment, I typed /ginfo and hit Enter. Sure enough, the reply from the server was that the guild was formed on October 19th, 2005.

It seems as though the actual “birthday” for the guild has been celebrated differently through the years. I wonder if someone has the original Frostmane All-Stars guild on their account somewhere. After all, I still have Potential (remember when low level twink PVP was a thing? is it still?), Force of Will, and Dairy Farmers on my account.

Regardless of the day, though, it still amazes me that Kinetic exists in some fashion. As we wait for Shadowlands, I know it will likely not be the progression juggernaut it once was. Still, I am happy to login when I am able and have that tag next to my name.

On another note, I still would like to get some help with WotLK, Cataclysm, and MoP build out (was Kinetic a thing during WoD or Legion??). I don’t really have any social media, so why not join the Kinetic Discord as I’m currently just hanging out there by myself.

The updates begin.

Thanks to Hekter, who now goes by Hektor on WoW Classic server Whitemane, I have been following an alliance guild named Lion’s Share full of familiar Frostmane names from both factions.

AQ opened on that server this week and they fully cleared the instance in one day. Sheesh. I have uploaded kill shots for BWL and AQ that I had. I am attempting to restore an old database in an attempt to find more narrative behind our progress all those years ago. I hope to have most of Vanilla covered by our 15th anniversary in October. Please keep the comments coming if you see this!

Guess who’s back?

Hello there. You may know me as Mishima, The Majestic One, the BEST warrior on Frostmane, the Hamburgler, or, simply, Charlie. While I didn’t want to resurrect a database containing a years worth of forum drama, I did have the itch to put the rest of this place back together. I will likely need help, so please reach out to me.
