Name or character name: Voxalia (Level 50 Rune-Keeper) on Elendilmir

Location: EST (-5:00 GMT), USA.

Playstyle: I'm not as diehard as I was back in my EQ days so I'd say I'm a little more casual. I'd love to see LOTRO raid content since Moria looks especially interesting.

MMO games you’ve played: I've played them all with the most recent being Warhammer Online.

Why kinships should be interested in you: I love helping out in any way possible plus my many years of MMO experience isn't to shabby either. ;)

What kind of kinship you are looking for: I'm looking for a smaller kinship focused on grouping and helping each other out.

Hi!

I'm a 50 yr old gamer... I've been inspired by 'The Guild' and I want to find or form a Kinship with some locals so we can get together and tip a few or have an occasional LAN Party.

I'm in Chicago and looking for an already formed Kinship of locals or like-minded adult (25 and up) LOTRO players that are in the Chicago area.

My current alts are on Nimrodel and Elendilmir, but I'd be willing to start up new alts on another server if there is already a ChicagoLand Kinship on another server.

Name or character name: Dobhglas (Level 40 Hunter) on Nimrodel

Location: Chicago, IL, USA (CST)

Playstyle: I'm a Crafter primarily.

MMO games you’ve played: AO, SWG, EVE, AoC, DnD, WoW... But now I only play EVE & LOTRO

Why kinships should be interested in you: I'm a good 'Joe'... Enjoying LOTRO!

What kind of kinship you are looking for: I'm looking for a ChicagoLand kinship.

Kidjel

Character name: Elohirm
Class: Minstrel
Level: 10
Playstyle: Casual gamer due to having extended work hours, role-play is a strong option for
my character in order to maintain the overall feel of the game... Like another
post stated I'm looking for a kinship which I can grow with and is of a more
mature nature meaning the names of characters are consistent with LOTR or
fantasy gaming in general. Since I'm a newb at the MMORPG scene I'm looking
for a more guided approach during this Jan so I can get used to all the shortcuts
and game quirks.

Time zone: EST USA
Preferred Server: Nimrodel
Online time: Usually sometime between 8-10pm randomly and 5-6am since my work schedule is
needless to say confusing. I'll maintain contact to let you know my online ops.

Ideal kinship: Friendly, structured, casual role play, time limited friendly, mature in
character not meaning age but in behavior.
Why Kinships would be interested in me?
I'm easy to get along with and am the type you goto when you need something done.

Your name, or character name and race (if known):Jondir, Man, Guardian (lvl 50+)
Age: 40s
Preferred server(s), if any: Arkenstone
Location. (Timezone preferences if any, state/country, etc.): Mountain Timezone, Idaho
Playstyle: Solo, group, PvE, some RAIDs, casual-to-hardcore, time limited
MMO games you’ve played: WoW, City of Heroes/Villains, Age of Conan
Why kinships should be interested in you. What do you offer kinships?: I am loyal, a mature player, casual and friendly
What kind of kinship you are looking for: Casual friendly group of mature players interested in teaming, when possible. Kinship of people who do not mind helping others.

Name: Shelley

Age: 38

Preferred server(s): Any

Location: PST - typical playtime from 8pm - 10pm

Playstyle: In the past, I've leaned more toward hardcore raiding, but my circumstances have changed (I'm a mom now!), and I'm casual. I still harbor dreams of raiding again someday, but it could be years from now. I enjoy both solo and group play and usually some crafting.

MMO games you’ve played: Just about all of 'em. I've spent the most time in Everquest, DAoC, Anarchy Online, and WoW. I played LOTRO in beta and liked it but was already committed to another MMO at the time.

What do you offer kinships?: I'm mature, friendly, helpful, and I have a good sense of humor. I like to figure things out for myself whenever possible and am not looking for handholding, although I certainly appreciate tips and advice when offered. I'm not really into RP, but I do love all things LOTR (so glad that technology arrived that could bring us good movies and games inspired by the books - wish Tolkien could have lived to see it).

What kind of kinship you are looking for: As I am just starting the game, I'd really like a kinship where at least some of the people are playing at lower levels. I don't want to get stuck being unable to complete group quests. I also need a guild where members are active during my primary hours of play (8-10pm pst). I'd prefer a mature group (behavior-wise) and a relatively laidback atmosphere.

Your name, or character name and race: Multiple new characters... trying out each class right now... favor Human Loremaster & Hunter
Age: 29
Preferred server(s), if any. : Brandywine
Location. Central Time Zone
Playstyle. Solo, PvE, Casual
MMO games you've played: WOW, Tabula Rasa, Warhammer, Everquest 2, etc...
Here is something I posed on the Brandywine forum that sums up what I am looking for...

1) I'm a casual player, but I will invest a good amount of time leveling & such. I play anywhere from 8-16 hours a week on the average. I like doing instances, but kind of shy away from daily instances & raiding. My gaming schedule does allow those type of events though, as long as I know ahead of time and its well planned. I am also up for spontaneous groups as well, it just depends. In the past with other groups I've always enjoyed the runs, but always felt the greed going round. Like most of the people were there for the gear, more than the experience. I'm more for having fun, experiencing the content and getting the loot is just the bonus. I've heard that the Kinship in LOTRO are more group orientated and not so much about Advance, Advance, Advance!

2) I feel that loyalty in a Kinship/Fellowhsip/Guild is key to its survival. And one of the things I've rarely experienced. I know we are all human and people disagree, but I think its good to have a common goal and common ideals.

3) I'm in my late 20's, so I'm beyond the "swearing is cool" stage. I'm not saying I don't use "improper" language, but never in chat and rarely out loud. I don't have a problem with it, but it always seemed to saturate guild chat and just wore me out. Respect and thoughtfulness seemed to be put aside for crude talk and insults. I enjoy chiding and teasing, but this was excessive and inappropriate.

Your name, or character name and race (if known): Micthalion, elf
Age: 27
Preferred server(s), if any. (This is not needed, just for kinship info.): firefoot as of now, only one I've played on and where my character is
Location. (Timezone preferences if any, state/country, etc.): South Carolina, GMT -5 (EST)
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.): Solo, group, RAIDs, crafter, time limited during the week because of work
MMO games you’ve played: this is the first
Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: Willing to help out other members with quests, fellowships, crafting weapons, raids, etc. I'm competitive, but also like just having fun sometimes.
What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I'm not too picky. I'm not really into heavy RP, but respect those that do. I'm looking to have a set group that I can rely on and can rely on me to do quests and fellowships, trade/buy/sell goods, raids, etc. and just to generally have a good time in the game.

I'm on Firefoot, so feel free to contact me.

Name-- Ephara, Elf hunter
Age-- 19
Preferred Server(s)-- Arkenstone, but i don't mind switching if needed
Location-- -5 GMT Indiana
Playstye-- Solo, some groups, casual, mostly PvE but i do like to do some PvP now and then.
Previous MMO's-- WoW, FFXI, RO, Guild Wars, Eve Online, Lineage 2, Perfect World, Age of Conan
What i offer-- I tend to learn things pretty fast and often gladly help others no matter the level difference. I'm not a greedy player, but i do like to keep my equipment up-to-date so i'm not underpowered. I value loyalty to a guild/kinship and always try to support my allies. I'm open for just about anything i could be asked of as long as it's within my ability to do, oh and i do tend to explore a whole lot and usually know the world quite well after a while. Though i have played a number of MMO's that doesn't mean i'm the kind of person where they are my life, i attend college currently and they give me something to do that i like, lol. I guess i don't have too much for offer yet since i only recently moved over to this game, sorry.
Types of Kinships i'm looking for-- well, i'm open for most groups and not too picky but i would prefer a casual group that is open for an occasional instance. Lastly, i would prefer a mature-behavior group, from all the other games i've been through, those kinds of people can be rare.

Community,

New to Lotro and need some advice on a server choice, I consider myself to be a casual player?

Name or character name: Amathal

Age: 23

Location: USA Central Time

Playstyle: I like to solo and group up for quests equally casul for the most part in college and like endgame content

MMO games you’ve played:World of Warcraft, Guild Wars and now lotro

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: I know about aggro control what to do in a raid. Not much of a drama person really laid back. If im going to talk it really depends on the convo going on. unlike some people not easily offend of the small **** (yes i do cuse but not all the time) i help people if im able.i dont talk politics all that much cause i really dont care about. religion? only if some else starts and its tends to be a short convo. Like to have a kinship that would help a person thats new the game (in other words me) and wont mind alot of questions till i get the hang of things.(every mmo is different) I like to joke sometimes what people would consider"innapporate" i never mean anything by it just having fun. im honest to a fault especially since i suck a lying. I like to get along with as many people as i can but i can promise i will with everyone (you know the whole me being a human and all) Instancing when i get to higher lvl and as im lvling i'll be in them if LOTRO has them.

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I'm looking for a kinship with mature people. Age kinda make a difference to me as far a maturity but not a big factor (have meet some very mature people younger than me). again casul player who likes to raid when he can. i like to "listen" interseting convo;s that go on in "guild" or "kinship" prefer a mixed bag of people and wide range of personalties. also instancing if a possible while lvling and later.

What kind of kinship you are looking for: Hi, I just purchased the game today and was looking for a casual, helpful kinship that also uses some form of voice chat as It's so much easier asking questions than typing all the time. I'm usually at my computer almost every night between 6-9pm central time and weekends. I'm 39 and just looking for help on which server to start on and heard great reviews about this game, so here I am.
I still play Guild Wars with a couple of buddies once in a while which was my first mmo, though I realize some people may not call it one. That game got me hooked and never played anything else since I started it.

Hey everyone, im new to LOTRO but i wont be soon. Im very active to the game and i love the gaming environment it brings. Im looking to join an active and friendly kinship that loves the game just as much as i do.

Name, Race, Class: Bondoh, Man, Loremaster.(currently playing in arkenstone)

Age: 16

USA; MST timezone. Arizona

Playstyle: PvE when i cant do instances.

MMO games you’ve played: WOW

Im 16 but Im mature and i really would like to be in a kinship so that i can have someone to help me out because with my loremaster i cant take heavy damage so its hard to increase in level.

Im looking for a kinship with friendly, helpful people that will help me get to at least level 20 and allow me to go into instances with them.

Charectar name: Isumcome, hobbit.

Age: I'm going to keep that to myself, but i haven't hit 21 yet

Preffered server: Windfola

Location: Central Timezone

Playstyle: Solo and crafting, but i'm flexible

MMO's: I've played various MMO's but Lotro is the first one I've stuck with.

Reasons to recruit me: Like I've said before I'm flexible and I'm willing to do everything in my power to help other players. My class is a burg so I'm always willing to help with everything that needs a burg. However I will be honest with the downside of me. I can be random with being logged on and off, also at times I might be off for incredibly long lengths of time (I'll try to warn you when this might happen).

Type of kinship I'm looking for: I'm hoping to lead a kin someday, so just about anything will do. I prefer kins that have a wide variety of players and kins with mature players. I hope that this helps you think about recruiting me.

Starting out today. New MMO, new "kinship" new friends.

Looking for a good small tight older type kinship.

Coming for a background of almost 15 years of playing this games.

Anyone fit the build?

Name = Mactaveous
Sever = Dont know yet.

Name or character name: Mendilvar (main), Braunte

Preferred Server: Firefoot

Age: 38

Location: TX,USA; CST timezone.

Playstyle: Solo for when I can't find groups, but prefer to be in groups of similar level people. I would eventually like to reach endgame with enough people to do the end game content with.

MMO games you’ve played: Vanguard, WOW, SWG, DAOC, EQ, EQ2, Warhammer (currently playing).

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: I'm an adult and I act like one. I don't swear and I don't argue over pointless stuff for the sake of arguing. I'm willing to take advice from others and follow directions in groups. I have experience in the MMO world, so I'll already know the bassics like aggro, pulling, main tank, off tank, etc.

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I'm looking for a kinship with mature people, meaning people who don't act like children. I prefer a casual playstyle as opposed to a hardcore style so that I can enjoy the game content. A functional website is a must. A kinship that will help it's members and/or offer its expertise to new players is a must. Use of Ventrilo, etc. would be nice for raiding.

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.):
Well, i like to keep it relax, enjoying the time crafting and stuff, i just highly hate when people is behind me, pushing me to level up. I hate kinships where everybody is lvl 60 and are not willing to help you out (of course not babysitting). I'm a spanish speaker, so i'm better at talking in spanish than english. My english accent is not nice so don't expect a lot from me, specially if we're in voice chat. I feel more freely when i talk in spanish, indeed if you are not bother by my accent i can talk too. I highly dislike to kill ramdonly mobs until i level up, i prefer questing or doing fellowship, sane fellowship with a previos strategy and ideas from everyone in a fellowship, of course there's must be a leader but i just hate when someone call upon then that they're leader and in the end everybody finish dead. I like to play without neurosis and such, if i died, well it's ok, i'm not gonna blame the minstrel or healer. But i spect a reprocity exchange, if you help me i help you and viceversa. I like to RP a lot but since english isn't my main lenguage i can sound odd sometimes. I like to craft and to fish and be happy with my kinship and fellowship.


MMO games you’ve played:
Well not much, i'm a girl and my husband just introduced me to gamming, i've played, RO, Tibia, Ryzom. And that's it.

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?:
Well, i offer helpfullness if i can say, i will be willing help lower levels in crafting stuff for them, helping them questing and stuff. I like to have a nice chat and be happy and to share, i'm also very open-minded so i sometimes have a very odd humor. I also like strategy and i have nice suggestions when fellowshiping. i like mostly contribute with anything.


What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters):

I wish to join to a kinship that will have spanish speakers betweeen their members, not necessary everybody speaking spanish since i can understand english average, a kinship that is relaxing and not obssesed to be the best of the best in LOTRO (and by this, kinships highly organized with everybody lvl 60 and killing the first mobs released in the new expantions, and like totally obsessed), friendly kinship, i like being friendly and i'm quite obedient when needed but i really hate when someone tries to dominate me when they even can't be strict with themselves. I'm a woman since i did said, so i really expect to treat me normally but i hate when people don't respect me because of this (you're not gamer because you're a woman and such for example), i highly hate chavinism. I tend to be a strong, loyal, kind leader if needed.

I will help in everything i can and highly prioritice to have a good time with ZERO drama for the kinship. I specially hate drama. I hope you can accept me, thank you.

*Of course if there's a kinship that meets all the above except for the spanish speaker part, i'm still interested, i'll do my best to fit it.
