Kin Destinatons after vote of Friday 8 August 2015, most recent word

For all who participated in either of the 2 meetings, on world chat, in the forums, or through tell, thank you for all of your help and care in this matter.
It is appreciated for the input everyone gave. Each server has its own advantages. Many kins are choosing based on the needs of their kin and many kins
wishing for keeping up with friends in other kins in effort to keep as many together as possible. It is not just a button. Silverlode is us. We made the server
what it is.

We apologize to any who may have missed the first meeting . During that there was a more in depth discussion about all the servers than there was at the 2nd meeting. Many were by the second meeting
wanting to vote and go on so if that was confusing to any, the first meeting would clear matters up. All servers sent representatives who posted in the other vote thread. Feel free to look there and ask around for what you and your kin needs to better balance that with considerations of where your friends on this server will end up going and on which servers you may already have friends. That will vary much as some do have friends with whom they would like to reunite on other servers. All servers have been welcoming and this is something which though stressful has brought out much good in people for trying to make things easier on those of us losing our home servers.

It has been stressful for some as parting ways has not been wanted and for some trying to choose which server best fits their needs is not easy.
We thank all of you for your patience and efforts to try to work together and communicate.

If any votes were missed please feel free to post those of mail Zadhiel in game. The meeting was extremely busy so if anything was missed my apology.

Instrumental in this have been Tiggerr, Meghanne, and Belsar with additional help from Amaanda, Moochie, and Gracelina and others. There are others who merit their
names mention also. Alas my mind is in a fog as sleep is needed and memory lapses. Those who helped, thank you. Thank you to all who helped communicate
or organize this.

Any questions please ask around or post in forums to get answers.

Heya Tosaf, good to hear from you. Thanks for posting your kins destination. It is added to the list above . Much appreciated. Will see ya around. :)

Paur en Mellyn is going to Landroval.

If Landroval closes before our turn, we will go to Arkenstone.

I just want to offer a word of warning to the members of Animal House Kin. There already is a Animal House on Landroval so take that into account.

Hardware seems the key: According to the executive producer when interviewing on LOTRO Reporter, the new hardware will be good enough that there was consideration of only being 2 servers rather than 10.



As such if the new hardware does get into place well enough, the number of us transferring to another server should be no issue from a mechanics standpoint it would seem.

Thats interesting i havent heard that before. Hopefully that can correlate to the moors and if it solves the problems we have the bigger servers could look more ideal for someone like me. Hopefully its not all talk but given we are able to test out 4 of the 5 servers as much as we want until the end of the year i can test them all out

Our little kinship will also go to Landroval. There are pretty much only two of us left, so we will probably seek to join a new kin and our kin's demise will be finally...finalized.

We are not dead yet!

As I said elsewhere, all are important even small kins or people in none. Some who are in small kins can end up reaching out and become very well liked. Even for those who do not they have a say also and hearing their say would be good. You are a small kin. You are a kin. Those who are not in a kin are still here and their voices count too.

Good luck in finding more people for your kin after you move if you choose to go that way. There will be many more people in starter areas with the servers consolidated and many others will be losing their kins as some leads of kins may be away for awhile and may not even know of the move. Best to you with it for whatever you decide.

Crimson Guard - Landroval

Triumph - Who knows.

At this point I am apathetic towards the whole process.

Now it appears they will stage the transfers, Silverlode is 7th on a list of 10 servers to have transfers opened up for us. I'm feeling like that late in the game (7 servers having been able to do the player shuffle before our turn) our options will be severely limited at that point.

Sad, Silverlode was an original beta server, sad indeed.

Cheer up, Irin! First of all, it has always been that way: staged transfers. And yes, it's kinda worrying that we go almost at the end of the list. But worry not! The worlds won't get filled, and we won't be limited to go where we want. The new machines will be able to support much more people than they do now, so this should not be a problem.

I hope Triumph makes its mind and take a path, whether it's with the mayority of us or not.

Best regards,

Belsar
Leader of Hispania

Fwiw NEC is currently on Brandy and I'm going to mindscamble all of them into going to Landy. I'm going regardless so they all come :)

Silverlode reunion

This is the best thing I've heard about this whole mess so far!
My spacebar will be broken from all the corpse jumping!

I'm pretty sure Ershy and a few other Arise transfered back to Slode to pve raid with RR, maybe try and make contact with them.

I checked their toons and they have not been logged in for a while. Hopefully they see this thread.

The more you corpse jump me I know it means the more you love me.

Spam Egg Sausage And Spam will be headed to Arkenstone, with Gladden as our second choice and Crickhollow as our emergency fallback.

Trying to update as each give your choices. Thank you for the update.

To those concerned about server size, from one thread from our exec producer:

Question: Aside from Brandywine, is there a chance of the other severs becoming closer during the transfer process as they fill up? I'd like to transfer to Landroval but cant until i return from a trip in September. I worry about it filling up in that time.
This is unlikely. Brandywine population is vastly larger than even the next most populated server.

I hope this will help any with concerns

Yes Jimi..... It is true. We have decided to come play with you guys and trade one lagfest for another. :) We should be pulling the Slode NEC and Brandywine NEC back together, so get your thumb taped up and jump away. I don't get as much game time as I used to so take every opportunity to get your thrills. I know I will.

TRIUMPH has decided... Arkenstone.

Our other Kinship on Elend, Fusion, is going to the Ark.
Thanks for the heads up mates, see you again soon.

Thank you Silverlode for being there, beta onward, you have been a great home, and I will miss you more than words can say.
RIP my Friend, See you on the other side.

Heya Fluff, i look forward to seeing you on Landroval. Looks like way great server from the time i spent there seeing what it was like. We can take off our war boots and put on dancing shoes there more than other servers i think so when want to have some time just to hang loose and enjoy seems like good one for it. Yeah, it will be hard leaving Silverlode behind, but at least if we make up the server then you will be seeing much of it on Landroval too :)

Fly You Fools has decided...........Jimmy's mom house

The Eldar has decided Arkenstone.
