Age: 21

Server: Brandywine

Location. US Central (-6:00 GMT)

Playstyle. No problem with solo, much rather the group setting. pretty much play as needed, very flexible

MMO games you’ve played: First one

Why kinships should be interested in you: I am a casual gamer, pretty laid back, college student, so i play when when i can without wasting my college life away, usually 2-3 times a week. I'm a nice, easy going individual, takes a lot to get me upset, i treat other with the same respect i would want to be treated with. im not a "i know everything gamer," i am new to these games, and i welcome comments and criticisms. helps me evolve.

What kind of kinship you are looking for: As mentioned above, i play when i deem necessary and it does not interfere with my life. Therefore, mandatory hours will not fly with me. I am mostly looking for a group to run end-game quests/raids with. My roommate and myself have gotten thus far, now we realize we need to be in a kinship so we can enjoy end-game raids and such. The kinship should also be willing to accept my roommate as well. Other than the name and character type, his resume is practically identical for the two of us. He is a *43* Minstrel -- Egeldryt - GM Farmer - Artisan Scholar i believe, been feverishly working to raise this lvl to GM--

Also I have a 14 champion, 9 guardian, 8 or *11* LM, 3 Captain.

Character: Hobbit Holfred, Yeoman, level 15

Age: 27

Preferred server: Arkenstone

Location: Minnesota (CST)

Playstyle: I usually solo, unless I make friends (which I have) and then I'll often group up for a good portion of the evening even if I could solo.

MMORPG Experience:
Ultima Online (only player-run shards, not the official OSI servers. I didn't play when it first started.)
Lineage (played longer than any other mmo ever, although i don't know why)
Lineage 2 (free trial)
Ragnorok (for like two weeks or something ridiculous)
Progress Quest (hah!)
Gemstone III
WoW

I've also messed around with some of the free RPGs (textual and graphical) out there, but none of them held my interest.

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?:
Hum, I don't know. I'm not a jerk? I'm somewhere in between casual and dedicated. I'll usually play for a couple of hours a night, and more on the weekends, unless I have stuff to do.

What kind of kinship you are looking for:
I'm interested in a Roleplaying kinship, something to bring extra interest and fun into my gaming. I've never participated in a "Roleplaying Guild" before, but it seems like it would be pretty fun. Mostly I solo now, but I've made a few friends and it's obviously necessary to get a fellowship together for some quests.

Character: Destin- Captain LVL 14

Age: 19

Server: Arkenstone

MMO Experience: FFXI, MxO, EQII, WoW, RF Online, Guild Wars, CoH/CoV, SWG, D&D Online, EVE Online.

Myeself: I've at least tried alot of MMOs in the past, and tend to be fairly self sufficient in whatever games I try. I'm semi-active in that I might not get in every single day, but do play often enough, and I find that having a group always makes the game more fun, even if you're just running around with a single friend.

Looking For...: I'm looking for a Kinship that's friendly, and actually enjoys grouping with each other. I've seen guilds that don't do anything together and just use chat to say idiotic things... Really... that's just not fun. A mature Kinship is essential for me. If your Kinship is one that constantly curses and makes disgusting jokes, and comments, please don't waste my time. Lastly, I would greatly prefer a roleplaying guild. Getting in character is one of the things that just makes the game more fun for me.

Your name, or character name and race (if known) = No character yet, but probably will be Eagles1, Captain Man. Could be Elf Hunter.
Age = 33
Preferred server(s), if any = No server preference, looking for best kinship fit before pick server.
Location = State of Washington. Pacific time zone if makes a difference, doesn't bother me.
Playstyle = Solo and group, PvE some PvP, casual but will end-game and raid, very little RP. Time-limited, have 55 hour per week successful career and family. I am new to this game and online RPG's, but have played offline RPG's and other online games, like BF2142.
MMO games you’ve played = BF2142, Eagles1 there as well.
Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships? = I'm VERY accountable. If I committ to being online for a clan event, I'LL BE THERE. I am very busy, but very accountable. I do love to game and I will play this game 5-10 hours per week. Already purchased lifetime membership. LOVE LOTRO and very excited about game!
What kind of kinship you are looking for = Plays together, even with one other member, and as a team. None demanding and helpful. I will follow others to learn and do what told by a senior member or better player. I am a HUGE team player. Want a clan that is agreeable to my schedule but knowing I will add to the clan in many ways, but can't game for 10-20 hours per week. Prefer a multi-gaming clan with BF2142 players so can play together there too. Not a must though.

Alrendir, L24 Elf Guardian on the Meneldor server.
I am an EST player, mid 30s, looking for a kinship with a very relaxed play style. Just looking for a group of people to play with that are about my level as I have a few toons in this level range. I would perfer a larger kinship rather than a smaller one, as I tend to level slower that others due to my playstyle.

thank you

Character name and race: Hirian, Elf Champion (lvl 50). Have other characters, lvls 25, 20, 16 & 14
Age: Ummm.... Eisenhower was President when I was born... let's go with that :D

Preferred server(s), if any: Gladden

Location: US Pacific timezone (-8 GMT) and play most weeknights and weekends.

Play style: Solo mostly right now but like teaming with a good group when possible. Looking to do end game content (Fellowship Quests and Raids). Also trying out the crafting system.

MMO games you’ve played:SW:G, AC2 (Beta), Horizons, CoH/CoV

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: In general I'm a easy going team player that's willing to help when needed. Not terribly into being the most l33t player, just want to have fun with a good group of people. Rather persistent when questing and ignore the defeats... it's part of the game and the more challenging the quest the more fun it can be with the right people. I'm a member of The Amazon Basin (lplimac is my forum name there) Community and believe in the idea of playing fair, don't cheat, be polite and have fun.

What kind of kinship you are looking for: I'm looking for an casual but active active Kinship that also believes that the most important things are what I stated above: play fair, help your Kinship members when possible, play nice, don't cheat and most importantly have fun. So you know, my current Kinship was formed at a time when we thought that The Basin would have a larger presence in the game but that never really panned out like we hoped. So, I'm now looking for a larger one, or one that is active enough to do the Quests and Raids that can't be done solo. I'm not at all interested in a Kinship that requires members to "donate" to the Kinship Officers or other such requirements for membership. I'm not much interested in Kinship politics, I just want to play with a good group of people.

Your name, or character name and race: Lorimar, Man, Lvl 18, Champion
Age: 39
Preferred server(s), if any. : Landroval
Location. Eastern time zone
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.):
MMO games you’ve played: I like all types. I like PVP less than PVE, but do like to play it. I have never been able to get high enough to get active in RAIDS. I have played several MMOs quite a bit but have never been hard-core. I am also more serious than casual.
Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: I support a team environment. While I do have family obligations and can not be on 24/7, the time I am on I can be committed to working together on quests, RAIDS, etc..
What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I am looking for a kinship that is willing to teach someone that may not be as immersed in the language and play of the more hard-core players, but is willing to get there with the help of a patient tutor. I am interested in a kinship that is good with players that can get on 10-12 hours a week.

Shoggoth - 21 Champ, dwarf
Brondo - 18 Minstrel, hobbit

Age: 29

Preferred server: Nimrodel only

Location: EST. (GMT-4)

Playstyle:
Solo, crafting, exploring, making money on the AH, group quests/instances. Do not yet have a freep of raiding level.

MMO games you’ve played:
WoW (70 warlock for face-melting PvP), DAoC (lurikeen eldritch), EQ.

Why kinships should be interested in you?:
I'm an excellent mathlete and good at min/maxing stats/gear for best results, as long as it all looks good together. Style is actually a hidden stat in the game. ;-) I am an encyclopedic database of mmo knowledge (even won a comment contest at wowhead.com) and quickly become a go-to guy for info. I have a twisted/dark sense of humor and enjoy PLAYING lotro rather than just button-clicking to finish a quest/task. In my free time I enjoy slaying lvl 1 rabbits and deer at range with power chords from my lute.

What kind of kinship you are looking for?: A place where people will not dictate what gear/build is "best" for something, i've had enough of that from WoW. I'd like a kinship with members of all levels so i'll have someone to hang out with from the Kin while I'm levelling up. I'd also like there to be some people who are into PvMP, since that was my favorite thing in WoW. I need to learn how to play a creep. :-)

PS - if you message me in-game make sure to say something about this post in the forums, as I get a lot of random spam for kinships which turn out to be junk, or run by a 10-year old child. I'd hate to miss an invite to a QUALITY kinship. :-D

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: I'm a tradeskill addict and love to offer tradeskill services once they become useful, lol. I'm friendly and have a good attitude.

What kind of kinship you are looking for: Most importantly for me is NO KIDS!!! I want to be around people around my own age. I don't like leet-speak. I'm a busy lady with my job and my 3 year old son, and I want a guild that understands that RL always comes first. I play to have fun and want to be around other folks that do the same.

Please email me at kailbo@hotmail.com if you have a guild like this and let me know what server you play on.

I'd like akinship that does a lot of events.

Ok, I'm really new at this but I've been waiting a long, long time for a game of this caliber to come out..lucky me..It's my favorite book and by some miracle the movie turned out to be my favorite also. I wonder if there is a plan to go VR with it as well? Anyway, I bought the game and have been playing around with it for about a month or so and I've come to the conclusion I need to find a kinship. A quality one.
I tried to explain some of my interests in my characters bio, but I don't think any one reads those things. No matter, It's there anyway.
My main character's name is Ian Budleaf and I tried to stay true to character development as best I could. I like RP, so I figure my character really doesn't know that much about middle-earth, outside of Archet, anyway. What Budleaf does know, is he likes music, dance, song, a smoke once and a while and some good story telling. He wants to help the free people of his and neighboring lands to fight back this darkness that is spreading into our very lives and homes!
Hopefully there is a kinship out there that can appreciate my efforts in making this rp experience as true to the world of Eriador as possible.
A mature, adult living in the mid USA. RL interest are Music (Budleaf is a Minstrel), Crafting and Adventures. So, I should fit right in with the whole scheme of things, if you get my meaning.
Been playing video games for 30 yrs...maybe longer. My favorite games for the longest time were the Origin Ultima games. Tried the Ultima online for a while, but it seemed like everyone was more interested in killing each other than moving forward as a team. Played the Balders Gate games and The Neverwinter Nights games also. When Elder Scrolls IV came out with Oblivion I thought it would have been a great MMORPG, too, but one can only solo in that game.
If you have a kinship that caters to the qualities I have described herein then please send me an app. or whatever it takes to sign me up, thanks.
In the beginning, there was Eru, the one, who created a great music......
Let me be a note in the masterpiece...Ian Budleaf

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters):
I would prefer a kinship who is theme based (tho not racially restricted) or likes to role play a little, but either is not totally necessary.

Thanks everyone who messaged me - I recently found out that an old DDO friend has a kinship and decided to join them. Happy hunting all!

Anila Wafer - woman Minstrel - NO LONGER LOOKING FOR KINSHIP

(I'm an "rl girl" college student looking for a PvE-focused non-RP kinship that can help me level quickly and experience end-game content. I played a minstrel in beta for a while, and I've also played healers in WoW, Vanguard, and Dungeons and Dragons Online.

I'm currently at level 15 on the Silverlode server, but I would be willing to switch.

For guilds with mostly 50's, I'm a great option to level up with your alts; I learn quickly and have a pretty flexible schedule (though I live in US - EST). I'll take (and want) advice and direction about race, gear, trait choices etc. I have experience running (and leading) MMO raids with Ventrilo or text chat.)

Looking for a helpful Kinship.

thanks muchly.

Hello everyone, my name is Jeremy and I'm looking for a new kinship. I've been part of Flames of the West since pretty much the beginning, and the group there is fabulous, it's just that I can't seem to find enough people online ever. I've been an officer over there for a few months and like I said the comradery is excellent and it really makes me sad to leave such a good group of people. I'm not a quitter by any means, but at the same time I want to get as much out of LOTRO as possible. I'll list my info as what was said in the top post and I'd appreciate it if some kinsmen would PM if they fit what I'm looking for.

My name is Jeremy and my character name is Erulehto.
Age: I'm 26 years old.
Preferred server: I've been playing on Brandywine since the beginning, so I'd like to stay there.
Location: I live in Louisiana, so my time zone is Central Standard.
Playstyle: Solo, group, PvE, PvP (haven't really tried it much, but I'm up for it, RAIDs, casual, end-game, RP but I haven't tried this as much either, crafter (I'm very interested in crafting). All in all I'm a laid back player who likes to have fun
MMO games you’ve played: This is my first one and it's had me hooked ever since beta. I don't plan on ever leaving.
Why kinships should be interested in you. I offer my kinship 100% total respect at all times and selflessness. I do whatever is best for the kinship. True I'm a laid back player, but I'm all for helping the kinship achieve it's goals and helping lower level players feel at home and welcome.
What kind of kinship you are looking for. I guess this would be one of the most important things in choosing a kinship. I'm looking for a large (but it doesn't have to be enormous group of players who will be online a large portion of time. One of the main problems lately is that not many kinsmen have been online to help me get past some rough patches to advance my character. It's just seemed kind of dead and I'm not feeling too good about it lately. So please, if you have a kinship that could use another hard working reliable guy, please get back to me about joining.

Thankyou,
Jeremy (Erulehto)
