I have upgraded the KKND 2 Clan now so that it is entirely database driven. All email and MSN addresses are disguised with javascript to avoid spambot harvesting.

Another welcome feature is the improved administration that will mean new members are actually added to the listing rather than left to rot in an email folder on someone's computer. If you sign up with valid details, you should be verified and online within 24 hours.

If your name is not there yet, feel free to sign up now at Planet KKND 2!

Just added a simple stylesheet design to make the news here look a little better. Please continue to sign the KKND Sequel petition and take part in discussions on the forums and post a nice message on the guestbook!

A few things to point out to people that are new to Planet KKND 2:
1. You can buy the full working US version of KKND 2 here. Hotmail and MSN users will not receive the account details by email as they are shit email providers - they continually blocking legitimate emails. The game cannot be emailed directly to anyone - I have better things to do than using hours of internet time to email one person
2. The KKND 2 mission editor only works under Windows 98 or Windows ME, in other operating systems it either crashes in "landscape mode" or simply refuses to load at all
3. Melbourne House do not support KKND 2 or the KME program in any way. The game was made over seven years ago now.
4. The "English Patch" should not be used with the UK version of KKND 2, it will simply crash the program. In addition, this version cannot connect to any non-UK versions of the game. The US version is a better game.

If anyone would like to run their very own KKND 2 fan site or has a fan-site hosted elsewhere, then please get in touch. We will host your website for free at a subdomain of kknd2.com (e.g. flamers.kknd2.com). Simply send a message to Nahoo with your site details and current URL (if you have one) and your account will be created. In addition to website free hosting, you can also receive kknd2.com POP3 emails, site statistics and a control panel and more!

Thank you for all your support. The number of signatures for a sequel to the KKND 2 game now stands above 2000! Please continue to show your support and forward friends, family and fellow RTS gamers to the petition.

The KKND 3 petition has received some signatures from a designer and game tester from the IMH KKND games. Now, to convince IMH that a sequel would be a good idea. Please continue to sign the petition (new people only) so that the figure reaches 1,500 before the end of the summer!

Finally, a decisive answer to many questions on the port number that KKND 2 uses in multiplayer games. KKND 2 uses port: 47624, so if you use a firewall add a new "KKND 2" service, then allow the IP address of your opponents in the rules area of your firewall control panel. Make sure you only allow specific IP addresses in your Rules as you don't want anyone connecting to your computer. If you do not understand how to setup your firewall, please post your messages on the forum or consult your manual. Full details in KKND 2 support.

Strategy games are coming back with a vengence - it is time that IMH see the facts that their game really is in demand, not just here, but in the all-important market place. PCs are the real-time strategy platform and there are gaps in the genre for a KKND-like game. It is finally time for them to listen to the demand.

Reading your KKND 3 petition, I can see that there are some really good reasons for bringing back the game! I think I will go through the list of 1200 odd signatures and pick out the best of the bunch to place on the site. If you haven't signed the petition, please go there now.

Some people are not happy with the dowload donations - so as soon as I get the new sever all of the missions and smaller file downloads will be open to all. At the moment I cannot afford to give unlimited access to these files as the costs are prohibative. For a couple dollars, you can download everthing on this site, Nahoo Downloads and even from a Britney Spears site. Its a good offer with many GB of lighting fast downloads (I can get 10MB/s downloads from university!).

Please remember to write or fax IMH using the details below and send a copy to the forum.

As the game has become very scarce recently, we have opened up our archived KKND2 US edition at KKND2.COM. The $9.50 or €9.50 payment is to cover the high bandwidth costs involved with such a large download in the UK, totalling nearly 1GB of compressed data. This offers great value for everyone wanting to play the game as its well below the price of any published prices that were at auctions and shops. Also, its much more convenient to download and play for anyone with a good internet connection.

More good news, there are nearly 900 signatures on our petition, please sign your name there if you haven't already.

As bandwidth usage is costing us a small fortune, a username and password now required for all downloads. Please view downloads for more information.
