[Supersmacky]

Characters: I have 4: Dragowulf (Human Champion level 48), Grimheart (Dwarf Guardian level 7), Fastfingers (Hobbit Burglar level 7), Robillipin (Elf Hunter level 7). My name is Robert.

Age: 48

Preferred server: Windfola

MMO games played: Many different ones both RPG and FPS

What do I offer kinships?: I believe in supporting and encouraging each other. Sending each other gear or resources, helping with quests, etc. I also do not bring any drama (the real world has enough of that). I am just there to have a good time and helps others have fun too.

I like having kin based events and challenges (scavenger hunts, hide and seek, etc). I have nothing against children and young people, but I want my time online to be with other adults (my experience with online games where children and young people were involved has been generally negative). I don't want so casual there is no structure, but neither do I want something so rigid that it takes all the fun out of it.

NOTE: I am currently in a kin, but since I am just returning to the game I am looking around at what sort of Kinships are out there.

Thanks for your consideration

Age: 43

Preferred server: Above toons are on Meneldor. Very willing to move servers and create whatever toon is needed.

I am looking for a kin that does end game raids in the am or early afternoon EST, and who is also active with other things from about 8am to about 3pm to 4pm EST. I am on the Dwarodelf server.

I am a 41 year old man who is married with 2 kids, 10 dogs, 4 cats, 3 horses and a fish that lives in Central Pennsylvania. I have been working night shift as an ER nurse for 20 years and I don't think my schedule will change. 4 of our dogs are fosters. we enjoy horsback riding and use them also for our local search and rescue team. I love to cook and also have a big IT background. I like to chill with my family in the evenings and do things together.

I enjoy crafting, end game stuff, soloing and fellowship and raid events of all types..... never got inot the moors very much. I like to help out folks where I can and when I can. I am fun and felxable, and enjoy chatting.

Why Kinships Should Be Interested in You: I'm definitely not a newbie to Lotro, but I'm not looking for a hard-core kinship experience either. I'd love to find a casual and somewhat social kinship that preferably does a lot of questing.

Thanks!

[Landathradon]

Your name, or character name and race (if known): Landathradon and Elvish

Age: (some kinships have real life age limits): 33

Preferred server(s), if any. (This is not needed, just for kinship info.): Firefoot

Location. (Timezone preferences if any, state/country, etc.): Eastern Time Zone; from GA here

Playstyle. (Solo, group, PvE, PvP, RAIDs, casual, hardcore, end-game, RP, no RP, time limited, crafter, “I don’t know, I’m new to this kind of game”, etc.): I solo more than i'd like and i prefer to start doing more groups, enjoy PvE, would like to try Raids, etc.; casual player but I am on weekly and usually on the weekend (night owl too obviously), i also craft on this character

MMO games you’ve played: Too many...... but only LOTRO now. I used to be on EVE Online (was a CEO of a pretty big corp) and Everquest years ago....

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I'm laid back and mature and looking for a similar mature (preferably adult) kinship of elvish players........ my home in game is in Ered Luin and it would be great to have a kinship house in that area. My only character is a Rune-Keeper. I'd like to experience the game fully and i've worked through many quests on this character, although i'm barely into the main storyline it seems. In the North Barrows at the moment...... but headed to trollshaws and rivendell next, eventually Moria.......

[PenitentTom]

I'm as up on the lore as anyone in the game (been reading LotR since I was six, and have read many of the Professor's other works as well). Perfectly willing to do crafting/trades or help out others with whatever they need if I can. I do have a young (4 yr old) son and a few other RL considerations, so I will not *always* be available, but as long as you can work within my schedule, I'm happy to help.

What kind of kinship you are looking for: Friendly, low-pressure, willing to offer assistance and/or guidance to someone who's been out of the MMO scene for a few years.

[Vanya1]

If so we would welcome you at Aragorn's Allies, just send a message to Aeida or honestly ask any kin member to ask an officer for you.

About us. We are a mostly over 18 kin (about 90%) of the kin we screen under 18 very carefully. We have yearly kin anniversary events like you described. We range from the serious to the extreme goofballs, so we joke but not so much to be annoying and we even mange to raid on a weekly basis and actually get things done. We help out lower players out but not so much as to hand them the game. We understand people want to enjoy the game not struggle so much it becomes annoying. We would love to have you join us. If you are already committed to a kinship, happy gaming and enjoy.

[SNEEKYPETE1972]

My charactor is Dudae, lvl75 Hunter in Windfola. I was formally in Trucido. Due to a lenghtly illness they dropped me for non participation I assume. Now that I am better and can participate again I am looking for a new Kin to join. I am in the United States and the Eastern Time Zone. I am over 45yo.

[Kaiborn]

Hi everyone!
I started playing LOTRO about two days ago now and obviously I'm not a very experienced player of this game.
However, I have always been a huge fan of the Lord of the Rings universe and played many different MMOs, so basically I am a fan of and experienced in about everything this game consists of.
I just never got around to actually playing this game up until recently. But now that I have played it I must say that I absolutely love it!
This caused me to actually go to the next retailer and get that Mithril Edition of the game (which upgrades my account to a premium account and so on) the next day and really made me want to properly get to know the game and maybe even spend several years in this extraordinarily detailed version of Middle-Earth!
The only thing I really miss when playing this game is proper company - a guild, or in this case a kinship.
I'd really love to join a nice and friendly, little group who can help me out here and there (since I'm new to the game) and who simply enjoy doing things as a team (like raids).
But before any of you send me a PM, saying I could join, please take your time and read through my proper introduction, I'd really appreciate it:

My main character's name is Kaiborn and he is an Elf Hunter.
My real name, however, is Kai (yeah, obvious connection to my character's name, right? :P).
I'm 20 years old and live in Germany (the timezone would be GMT+1). I have lived here my entire life, but about 99% of my family are English, meaning my English should be quite understandable.
As stated in the title, I play on Laurelin and I am looking for a kinship on this exact server.
Since I am new to the game I haven't really developed a playstyle as such yet, but in most MMOs I was very much into PvE and occasionally also played PvP. I'd also be very interested in some RP though.
I have played MMOs like World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 1 & 2, Star Wars: The Old Republic, DC Universe Online and (for a very short time) Star Trek Online.

Now the very important stuff: What kind of kinship am I exactly looking for and why should I be taken?
Well, the thing is that I am not yet very skilled in combat and so on, considering how new I really am to the game, but in my opinion "skill" goes beyond just playing the game effectively.
I think the most important thing in any "community" of gamers is being friendly, offering help (if possible) and especially team spirit!
So my answer would be that I'm looking for a nice group of mature people, who love LOTRO for what it is: a fantastic game that brings people together.

If you think I fit into your kinship (which shouldn't be too big though, I prefer knowing all the members), feel free to send me a PM or contact me ingame.
I am really looking forward to playing with like-minded players!

Cheers, Kai

[Toonix]

Your name, Ken

character name and race (if known): Dwarf named Goremetto

Age: 49

Preferred server(s), if any. I have 5 characters created on Vilya, but will move to any server for a good kin.

Location. (Timezone preferences if any, state/country, etc.):Missouri Central zone, play at odd hours

Playstyle. I like solo or group play, my play-hours make me hardcore. I would be involved in crafting.

MMO games you’ve played: GW2, GW, Asheron's Call, EQ2, SWG, EVE, WoW, Runescape, the list is longer.
and I have a little experience with LOTRO.

Why kinships should be interested in you: Very social, actively participate in chat, have Vent & TS3 clients. Very experienced gamer.

What kind of kinship you are looking for.: I'm looking for a good kinship that can best help me to F2P LOTRO, help me complete deeds and farm Turbine Points.

After trying Guild Wars 2, I feel somewhat disappointed with ArenaNet's business model, with respects to the buying and selling of game currency and the gem store. I have been a guild leader in the past and I have a guild in GW2. I'm debating on whether or not I should focus more on LOTRO, I like their f2p offering better and I know that Turbine is a good company to deal with. I don't think I can afford to continue playing GW2 while there is a legit way to buy game gold; at least Turbine hasn't degenerated to that kind of business strategy.

[Harryhoods]

Your name : Phishery, Elf hunter

Age: 40

Preferred server: Brandywine

Location: New York but my playtime during the week is midnight to 3 or 4 am

Playstyle: Solo and grouped, depends on the mood I'm in, PvE and PvP

MMO games you’ve played: Most of them. Favorites include UO, DAoC, Fallen Earth, EvE, Darkfall

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: I have a lot of experience in MMOs and have played with many different people and can usually get along with any type of person, I'm always willing to help out the guild in anyway I can.

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I'm looking for a Kin that has active players during my playtime. I've mostly played lotro solo so far and I'm looking for people I can group up with for anything from quests, instances, pvp, resource gathering, deeds. I'm not interested in a Kin that has strict policies on grouping and ventrilo/teamspeak, I've been in a guild before that insisted that you be on vent at all times while you're playing, that got old quick, I would log on for a few minutes before work and be questioned right away why I was not in vent, that's not the kind of Kin i'm looking for.

[frickinmuck]

Your name, or character name and race (if known):

I have multiple characters on a few different servers that I've built up over about 5 years. Levels range from 15 to 85, and everything in between. My mains tend to be hunters, but I've played all classes, and have a few favourite non-hunter classes I like to play.

Age: 43

Preferred server(s), if any: Landroval, Brandywine, although will consider other servers if there's a truly awesome kin

Location.: BC Canada (Pacific time zone)

Playstyle:

General - I am an experienced player who takes the time/effort to learn the classes/roles I play, but I'm not a snob about it, and I'm always happy to help others and give advice. I have experience in all aspects of the game (raids, skirms, instances, etc) and am good at both leading and following in groups. I'm a strategic, intelligent player and can be a real asset when it counts, and I'm a great right-hand for any raid leader. I do most of my leveling solo just because it's quicker for me (many quests I've done dozens of times, LOL), but I do enjoy grouping and helping others with quests, deeds, etc. I really enjoy tougher instances and raids, especially with a group that knows how to play their class and pays attention/listens to the raid leader, but I'm not a hardcore raider and I'm not hung up on end-game content. I like a balance. I would love a kin that does semi-regularly run raids, though. I still haven't had a chance to do Draigoch and a few others, and that's one of the things I'm hoping a new kin can offer.

RP - I really enjoy RP, but I'm not hardcore about it. I grew up playing table-top RPGs like D&D and AD&D, and that's how I approach RP in LotRO; playing as my character would. I prefer RP that is realistic and immersive, rather than just all over the place. For example, I dislike RPing with people who break the RP atmosphere by playing aggro-range and running into the middle of an orc camp, or saying things that no sensible character would say. When RPing I will go so far as sneaking around, hiding behind bushes, etc. because I know that's what my character would do - proceed with caution. My character has no concept of aggro range. For that reason I do tend to RP more solo, but I would be happy to find a group that does have an immersive approach to RP so I have that option from time to time. All of my characters have backgrounds and personalities, some really well-developed.

Crafting - I've only recently started to get into crafting, and I enjoy it. I have an Eastemnet grand master jeweler and an Eastemnet grand master tailor on Landroval, and several other crafting classes I'm gradually leveling. Haven't started leveling my Brandywine crafters but plan to. I'm not hardcore about crafting, but when I feel like it I'll knock down a few levels. I'm happy to make things for kinmates if I have time/resources, but can't always guarantee I'll be able to at any specific time, and I do have boundaries about how much crafting I'll do for others, as I like to have time to actually play.

PVP - I'm not a hardcore PVPer, but I do enjoy playing creep-side from time to time, and I have some creeps on most of the servers I've played on. I don't tend to play much freep-side, but would definitely be open to it if there was a good raid planned.

MMO games you’ve played: LotRO, SWtOR, Secret World, Runescape

Why kinships should be interested in you:

I am a laid back, helpful person who is mature and drama-free. I am really outgoing and am good at helping make shy people feel welcome and included. I'm experienced with LoTRO and I've got a pretty good bank of knowledge that I'm happy to share with others, including best spots to do slayer deeds, how to handle a war-steed, which fishing spots are good, and everything in between. I am a leader by nature, so I'm the sort of person who will put events on the calendar when I have time, and get people together to bang out a few skirms or whatever. I've managed some good in-game events, including "just for fun" parties, educational/training groups, casual instance groups, etc. I am a really supportive, generous person who is happy to drop everything and help a kin-mate when needed. I enjoy good conversation, and love to discuss just about any topic. I have a genuine interest in people, who they are, what they're into, and I love hearing about other people's life experience and perspectives. I am respectful of rules, while not being afraid to speak up if I think something is unjust, and help improve policies and approaches. I also have some IRL skills I'm happy to share with others (writing, graphics, illustration, web, etc).

What kind of kinship you are looking for:

#1 I want a kin that is truly mature. Not just in terms of ages allowed, but in terms of outlook and behaviour. I enjoy playing with people of all ages, but it's important to me that I play with people who are mature enough to have developed some social skills and know the value of avoiding drama and being good to each other. I think it's also great if people have some life experience, and are able to relate to IRL issues such as making a living, job stress, etc. mainly because I don't want conversation to be totally shallow. I like to be able to have intelligent conversations about mature themes such as mortality, family dynamics, critical thinking, media literacy and whatever else people want to discuss, and I'd just get bored if conversation revolved solely around TV shows or in-game activities. I like getting to know people and building real friendships, and being a support to each other beyond just gameplay at times. I'm not looking for a therapy group but I do want a kin that respects the humanity of each other and has some depth of character.

It's important to me that any kin I'm a part of is aware of and serious about the concept of "safe spaces" (i.e. no sexism, racism, homophobia, bullying tolerated). I am not interested in a kin that condones use of language such as "that is so gay" or "what a &&&&&&" or "I totally &&&&& that goblin camp". Swearing is totally fine with me, I personally can sometimes swear like a truck driver, but hurtful or oppressive language is not ever OK with me. At the same time, I dislike over-moderating and prefer spaces where people are trusted to be good to each other, not browbeaten into it.

It is extremely important to me that the kin I join is well-managed, fair and respectful of everyone as equals. I dislike hierarchies, pecking orders and cliques, and I like a good solid infrastructure where issues are handled fairly and maturely, without a lot of drama. One where officers serve the kin, and not the other way around where the officers put themselves above everyone else.

While I'm not looking for a hardcore raiding kin, it is important to me that I have reasonable access to end-game content and raids.

I would like a kin that's fairly large and active, but not so large that it's hard to get to know people. It would also be awesome if they host events on their server, and run fun kin events from time to time. I like a kin that wants to make a name for itself and be social beyond the immediate group.

Voice chat is important to me, too. Although I don't always feel like being in voice chat, it's nice to have that option and it makes it more fun/easy to get to know people. I prefer non-game voice chat (Vent, Mumble) to in-game chat, just because in-game voice chat tends to have audio levels all over the map.

I would like a kin that welcomes all LotRO races and classes, as I have many alts and I'd like to bring at least a few into whichever kin I join.

Thanks for reading all this!

[SuperSimmo]

Characters: Hoonoes - Lvl 34 RK (and other chars if the kin is the right one)

Age: 41 yrs young

Preferred server: Elendilmir

Location: NSW, Australia

Playstyle: Slow and steady wins the race - I am more interested in the journey than the finish line

MMO games played: LOTRO, DDO, Perfect World, Project Entropia to name a few

What I offer: A regular player who likes to have fun and help others.

What I'm looking for: My wife and I are looking for an easy-going kin with regular players in the same time-zone. We also want a kin that uses a chat server (eg - Mumble etc) for socialising, not just for grouping. We would prefer a kin where the chat can be a bit adult and we are able to talk about ooc things (other than the weather).

We both love a laugh and don't take ourselves seriously. If you think we might fit in with your kin, please contact me in game or send me a PM.
Thanks for your consideration

[Trampus]

Your name : Travis

Character name and race (if known): Calabash - Elf (75 Warden), Dravis - Man(75 Captain)

Age (some kinships have real life age limits): 36

Preferred server(s), if any: Crickhollow

Location: (Timezone preferences if any, state/country, etc.): Central

Playstyle: I enjoy running instances/raids with kin. I'm easy to get along with, kinda quiet, and listen well.

MMO games you’ve played: Daoc, Wow, City of Heroes, SWTOR

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: I offer a decent player with NO drama. I like to raid, quest, help others, or pretty much do whatever the groups feels is fun. I have a family, so playing games is what I consider my relaxing alone time. I'm not obsessed with being the best, I just want to enjoy myself for a few hours each night. I'm just now coming back to LOTRO after taking a year off to play other stuff, so I'm hoping to get back into Warden tanking.

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): A mature kinship, with a fairly healthy roster in terms of population. As I said, I'm just getting back into the game so I'm hoping to join a kin that can offer me a home. I had two level-capped PC's when I left (ROI had just come out), so hopefully I can get back up to speed and be an asset to whatever Kin would have me. Thanks.

[Zanaspus]

I would be happy to list all of the standard race/name/etc, except that I am new to the game (but older and not stupid), and the highest level character I have is level 28. Thus, it would not be that difficult to start anew on any server.

I am on the east coast of the US, however most of my playtime is 8 AM to 5 PM. So a European server would be fine.

Tell me if this exists. A kinship with people who are not in a race to reach the level cap, but are interested in exploring what the entire game has to offer. A kinship, that when it groups or raids doesn't run amok in an effort to finish in a record time. A kinship with people who actually loot corpses. A kinship who puts up with someone who constantly makes bad jokes. A kinship that, should I have a question, actually offering more than 2 seconds for a direct answer, but rather willing to take a minute out of their "busy" raiding schedule to talk. A kinship that makes sure no one is left behind during an encounter.

I am fairly intelligent (ABD to a PhD). I am an old fart (50). And I just seek some good people who enjoy mmorpgs the way I do. Laid back, easy pulling, time to go to the bathroom if necessary (I AM 50 ). I like to solo 90% of the time, but when I group, I like to feel that everyone actually cares about each others' well-being.

Is there such a place? I would rather adjust some of my game time, than what I'm looking for. Anyone? Buehler?

P.S. I am ViP.

P.P.S. Mega-kins need not apply

P.P.P.S. I don't have a microphone. Live with it.

[Gilanna]

Your name, or character name and race (if known):
Age (some kinships have real life age limits): 26
Preferred server(s), if any. (This is not needed, just for kinship info.): No preferred server, but I currently have characters on Silverlode (Main is 84 Hunter named Gilanna), Landroval would be nice, but honestly, no preference.
Location. (Timezone preferences if any, state/country, etc.): Ohio, EST (now that it is EST again!)
Playstyle. (Solo, group, PvE, PvP, RAIDs, casual, hardcore, end-game, RP, no RP, time limited, crafter, “I don’t know, I’m new to this kind of game”, etc.): I solo mostly, sometimes duo or up to a 3-man with some friends, but I'm looking to expand my playing, so I'm interested in grouping and possibly raiding. I'm a hardcore crafter and prefer to be self-reliant (on Silverlode I have a Master of every crafting guild except Cook).
MMO games you’ve played: LOTRO (obviously), I beta'd STO back in the day and SWTOR, but neither of those captivated me the way LOTRO has.
Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: I'm pretty helpful, especially when it comes to any crafting needs. I'm a little quiet and more of a follower than a leader (unless I'm in a situation where I'm very comfortable), but I like to be sociable in a kinship.
What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I'm looking for a slightly structured social/casual kinship. Kin events are definitely a plus, friendly atmosphere. I don't prefer required voice chat (except for grouping of course). I like a lively and humorous kinship.

Please send me a PM or in-game mail (if on Silverlode) to Gilanna. Thanks!

Your name, or character name and race (if known): Sendred Human
Age: 26
Preferred server(s), My main is on Vilya
Location. Eastern Standard Time
Playstyle. i'm very casual, i only have one character but i really want to add to that, i am into other games so there will be times i won't login for maybe a couple weeks to a month
MMO games you’ve played: Rift, FF XI/XIV, SWTOR, WoW, GW 1/2, Aion, UO, WAR

If needed i will help my fellow players when i'm available, i'm very easy to get along with, out of all the mmos i've played i've put the most time into this one.

i'm looking for a kinship that won't mind how casual i am, one that will help with a few quests here and there to help further me along, something larger than what i have now, the kinship i'm in right now is dwindling and there aren't many players so it's hard to get passed certain areas, i've literally been stuck on 2 quests for about a month because nobody is ever on or everyone is busy or doesn't want to help.

my email is xxsicksoulxx@excite.com if you need a means of contacting me another way.

Age (some kinships have real life age limits): 30

Preferred server(s), if any: Snowbourn

Location: (Timezone preferences if any, state/country, etc.): Netherlands (EU)

Playstyle: Casual with quests and hardcore we instances. I am a completionist and want to enjoy everything :-)
Dungeon Fellowship play is the thing I love the most. So what if we fail once, buck up, adjust tactics and win!

MMO games you’ve played: LotrO - 4+ years, FFIX - +/-3 years, Tera - 6months and some other small fry stuff.

I have been playing LotrO for some time now and took some time off. Now recently a good buddy of mine who was also playing LotrO for the same amount of time, said: why should really install LotrO again. well....so we did and I am already hooked again :-).
I am a very social guy and if somebody in the kin needs my help. I will travel right to you. Disregarding the level.
Because I like to team up a lot, therefor I am searching for a bigger kin that has constantly active members and are doing dungeon runs. With active members I do not mean 4 or 5 members online at the same time on a friday night. I am thinking more in the numbers of at least 20+.
It offcourse also helps that the kin is in GMT +0 to GMT +2 timezone.

Let me know if I can join, I can be a big help to your kin and willing to level any class that the kin needs!
just wanna havve loads of fun.

[Labianca-Campbell]

Character: Lvl 18 Captain (Man)
Locale: EST (GMT -5)
Server: Dwarrowdelf
Type: Casual player but able to logon regularly if scheduled.

I'm looking for a kinship that has a "train up" mentality. I've played WoW, DaoC, and a few other games in the past. The reason I'm looking for a kinship is that I'm playing a Captain, and like a pally in other games; you really don't get the full on captain experience until you're grouping, buffing and going after mutual objectives.

I could randomly set up fellowships, but it's cooler to work with people regularly and just know that someone's going to work with you in a predictable way.

Nuff said, if interested, please PM.

Thanks,
LC.

[Algizz]

Character: Algizz Lvl 10 Captain (Man)
Locale: UTC/GMT +2 hours Eastern Europe time
Server: Dwarrowdelf
Playstyle: Solo for when I can't find groups, but prefer to be in groups to make fellowship quests. Not interested in PvP. Hope I can enjoy endgame content with other people.
MMO games you’ve played: 9dragons, 2moons, Last Chaos
Kinship intrests: A rather loose Kin that helps out lower level players and doesnt have alot of rules. Not too serious, no minimum 'attendance' or amount of playtime, just an easy going friendly Kinship, helping each other and having fun.
What kind of kinship I'm NOT looking for: People or kinships with names like "$$Daboss$$" or "PoWnZor" similar, that would kill immersion for me. A kinship that forces its members to leveling or to have the best gear possible, I would like to enjoy the game. Not all abou raids kinship.
Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: I am a mature and friendly player who would not hesitate to help out if I can.

Character: Flixxxer Lvl 54 Captain (Man)
Locale: ECT, or gmt+1
Server: Eldar, but i don't mind starting on another server
Playstyle: So far solo, but prefer to be in groups to do fellowship quests. Of course i wanna run instance too at a certain moment, but i'm still learning the game.
MMO games you’ve played: Runes of Magic
Kinship interests: Looking for Kin that has people that also still wanna do quests and group quests but also with some players that are stronger and experienced. In the end i just wanna have fun with other players and not run around alone in the game..
Why kinships should be int for me.When the kin is a lot of fun i can be pretty active and will be a valuable addition to the Kin.
