Looking for a change of pace ? (level locked progression guild)

Join The Way of The Tortoise!!

http://wot.gamerlaunch.com/

Looking for a relaxed and laid back Kin environment? We are a friendly, helpful, social, and growing SLOTRO Progression Kin. New players and seasoned vets welcome. See schedule below for our current max level. [Stone of the Tortoise] required.

Tortoises like to take things slow. By doing so, we can complete more content at the appropriate level. We have members who are altaholics, completionists, and/or have limited play time. Our level cap allows all these playstyles to go together, reducing the fear of “being left behind”. Typically we raise the cap by 2-3 levels, every 2 weeks, but when it matches a new major dungeon, we will remain capped for at least 4 weeks. The [Stone of the Tortoise] is used to disable experience gain, and can be purchased from the LotRO Store for 100 LP.

For member alts who would like to rise above the Tortoise level cap, we have a sister kinship, The Foolish Hares. This kin is also used as a temporary home for Tortoises who may have accidentally crept too far. We use a UserChat as our main kin communications, so the two kins are able to socialize and communicate.

We have our Tort Fort on the island of Tol Lochul, in Rhunemir, Belfalas, with all crafting stations and crates, open for anyone to use.

Our rules (thus far) are simple.
(1.) Equip your Stone prior to going over max level. If you accidentally go over cap you will be asked to move your character to The Foolish Hares until the next level bump.
(2.) Be nice.
(3.) Have fun.
(4.) Please edit your kin note with the name of your Main Tortoise on alts.
(5.) New recruits will be promoted to full membership after a "get to know you" period usually about two weeks if you're active.
(6.) Inactive characters will be removed from Kin after 90 days of inactivity. They will be welcomed back to the Kin at any time.

Currently we have about 75+ active members covering 300+ characters (Altaholic Kin). We cover a good mix of US and EU time zones along with a few Aus/NZ in the mix.

PM Mordrig / Baracus or any officer in game for more info or invite.

Hey, I'm interested in joining. Is there any particular classes needed by the kin?

[Icethorne72]

Tiempko - the founder of Club Eclair on Landroval - and I am here to wish you luck.

I started Club Eclair on Landroval the day the turtle stone became available. We have had the pleasure of exploring everything from the Shire to (currently) the Flaming Deeps in Moria. And we always had friends for group play in the Great Barrow, Fornost, Garth Argawen, Dol Dinen, Annuminus, Urugarth, Can Dum, and The Rift. We are about to start the Moria insurances.

It is great to be able to actually participate in the story and not have to worry about being stopped when group content comes up.

If people are considering it, let me urge you to give it a try.

Just wanted to say, got invited by Tywen today. Thanks for having me!

Hallothel.

Love the kinship. It lets me be an altaholic and super casual at the same time while still making fun dungeon runs.

Tiempko, Club Eclair was the inspiration for this Kin from my time on Landy. I would have been happy with 10 or so like minded players when I formed it, we are now over 100, with about 40-50 that are very active and around daily or so.

We also have several (4 as of this writing) "Adventure Groups" where alts of 6 players adventure and level together from just out of Intros.

So a big thank you for the inspiration!

Hi, is the tortoise concept still working? Are you still running SoA content regularly?

Sorry for delayed reply. Yes things are going great for the Torts, we are currently running a Rift Raid on Friday afternoons around 2pm Servertime, Angmar Instance Deeds, Helegrod on Sundays around 12pm Servertime. Plus any other get togethers that are not scheduled at those times.

We will be celebrating our one year Tortiversary on 16Nov with a parade through Bree and a Tort run from Bree to Hollin Gate to start Volume 2.
