Change to k3b1

We have switched gears on k3b1.com. There have been a lot of followers of our past endeavors. Many of you will remember Exigo, ESP, PC Gaming and further back to the classic k3b1 forums (if you don’t, i’ll be glad to tell you the stories). Today we are transforming k3b1 into a WoW blog. I will tell you why, but first let me share a little about who we are:

About Us and Our Condensed WoW Story

k3b1 stems from our names “Kent” and “Blake”. We coined that term many years ago when we first started programming games and making websites (dope fish + star wars). We are brothers who live in North Dakota.

We started playing WoW in early 2005. Over the years we have leveled many characters and made a lot of friends as well as some enemies. During this time we have logged over 600 days playtime combined. We have grown to know the intricacies of the game and the classes. We have spent time focused on PvE as well as PvP, have leveled both Horde and Alliance characters, and have led large raiding guilds as well as been members in them.

In vanilla WoW, we played a Warrior and Paladin on Hellscream US. We did not have the time to push for R13, so we did not have top of the line PvP gear. Even though we were undergeared, we beat many of our opponents by using game mechanics alone. I am reminded of Darafeln standing outside of IF and nobody would duel him because he just beat another 60 with his “lightsaber” (enchanted training stick). Because of the multiple hour que’s to log into Hellscream, we transferred to Dalvengyr in the first ever PvE to PvP transfers. Towards the end of vanilla, we got into raiding. Starting with MC and later going to ZG and AQ 20/40.

In BC, we kept our characters and started focusing on raiding. After leaving our guild over differences in opinions, we started our own guild and cleared Kara/Gruul and started on TK and SSC. At this point in time, the Dalvengyr population was very casual. It was extremely difficult to constantly get 25 people online for raids and there was a very small player pool to recruit from. We decided that we could have a lot more fun on a well populated and established realm. We decided to reroll.

We both started Blood Elf Paladins on Dragonmaw US. We played these characters until the end of S4 and decided to reroll again on Dalvengyr before WotLK came out (Dalvengyr had been selected as a “recommended” realm and the population bloomed). Darafeln started leveling a Shaman and I started leveling another Warrior. Before WotLK, I switched to leveling my 56 Paladin (which I had leveled in the Kara/Gruul days) due to the huge ret buffs before WotLK.

WotLK came out and we hit 80 on Shaman/Paladin. Our small guild cleared Naxx within a couple months and most of us were soon bored with Naxx. Darafeln then leveled a Rogue and some on his Paladin where as I leveled my warrior to 80. We started getting into PvP again and focused on Shaman/Warrior comp in S5/6. During this time we did a little Ulduar raiding but nothing major. As you may know, Shaman/Warrior is one of the worst comps during those seasons and we decided that we wanted to reroll a good PvP comp.

We convinced our friend to roll a Mage and I rolled a Priest. We were going to run a RMP comp in 3’s. We hit 80, transferred off of Dalvengyr back to Dragonmaw and faction changed to Horde to play with a bunch of old friends. We started the comp a couple months ago and thats when we decided to start this blog.

Our current main characters are:

Ferngully (Undead Priest, Dragonmaw US)

Ballsagna (Blood Elf Rogue, Dragonmaw US)

Our other 80’s include:

Blatzkowitz (Human Warrior, Dalvengyr US)

Macabuwia (Draenei Shaman, Dalvengyr US)

Contiguous (Dwarf Paladin, Dalvengyr US)

And other various characters 60+

Why the change

We have played WoW for almost 5 years. I know there are new players out there who are trying to pick up every new tidbit they can and also veterans who enjoy discussing WoW. This blog is the place for that. We want to share our knowledge with the WoW community; New players will find this blog both helpful and encouraging. We were all new at one time.

Another side to this is if you are a veteran player and really enjoy discussing the latest patch notes, class balance, BG’s, raids, etc. we love to discuss it also. We spend hours in vent some days discussing talent builds, glyphs, strategies, etc. We are looking to help out newer players while trying to get some good discussions going. Hopefully we make some friends along the way.
