Excitement has been mounting over the upcoming release of Final Fantasy XIV. I've received a lot of great responses from everyone that they have plans to play and are looking forward to reconnecting with old friends.

Many of our Kindred family are also part of the Bixies Community, a site that Alto hosts for our group of gaming friends, old and new. When we realized both groups were looking forward to FFXIV, plans began to form.

I'm proud to officially announce that our family is about to grow!

Kindred and the Bixies Community are joining forces with Divine to form a new banner: Divine Kindred.

Who is Divine?

Divine is a long-standing guild who has established a major presence and progressed through several MMOs. The Bixies allied with them in Warhammer, and many joined with them in Aion. Their motto is 'Strength and Honor' and they value friendship and respect, values I believe to be at the core of Kindred's being. They are a good group of people who many of us call friends, and I hope you will come to know them as friends, as well.

If you'd like to know more about them, you can visit their website at www.divineguild.com.

In preparation of game launch and to give everyone a chance to get to know each other, Alto and I have created a new web home. I hope you'll come visit us!

You can find us at www.divinekindred.com.

All Kindred will automatically be granted membership and access to all member areas. Our next Ventrilo meeting is Saturday, June 12th. Here's a chance to reconnect with old friends via voice chat! Register on the site so we can get you set up with Ventrilo access.

I'd like to invite everyone to join us as Divine Kindred ventures into the new realm of Hydaelyn and the lands of Eorzea!
