Post here if you can't find a Landroval Kinship

Jandas, Level 14 Hobbit Warden

I am definitely looking for a roleplaying Kinship. One that would tolerate a newer player but still be there when the time comes for raids and end game stuffs.

I play fairly often. Between 5-6 days a week. When I do play its usually for a while also at least 4 or 5 hours.

I prefer party play but do solo when there are no other options.

Found a Kin!

Race of Man Warden, level 23. In-game name: Dheovan Arindari.

I'm a pretty casual player, so I am therefore looking for a pretty casual guild. Mainly, I'm looking for some friendly people to talk to, hang out with and do some quests. I played LotRO a while back but then took a long break, so I am a returning player relearning the game.

In real life, I'm 21 and live in CST. I usually play about half an hour to an hour a night, with some nights not being able to and some nights playing longer. I have various alts that I will level at some point, though whether they are a part of the kinship or not is not a huge deal to me.

Cheers!

Are there any west coast raiding kins on Landroval? I like my current kin, but the raids conflict with the dinner hour and the sidewalks roll up at 9pm. Just curious if there is a better fit out there. I have a 60 MIN and 60 LM, 6/6 or better.

Thanks!

- I'd really like to do some Raids, and maybe some PvP whenever I get all maxed out.

- I'm able to play most everyday, but I work so it's mostly during the night.

Howdy, my name is Matt and I'm here for a kinship.

Ingame name is Ferlery, level 40 Man Champion
-Roleplaying is very fun sometimes, tedious and restricting other times. A guild that blends both worlds would be nice. Raiding I will take part in always, but don't want the kinship to be focused solely on raiding / attaining gear. PvMP not important, something I do on occasion.
-I dont really keep track of the hours I'm playing, its not a lot, its not a little.
-Playstyle I have now : soloing. Playstyle I want to be able to do: grouping. I'm big on grouping and enjoy it a lot, sadly I never find any groups, and would like a kinship that groups often either together or with different kins.
-Vent would be cool
Other info:

I don't want to join a kinship that requires me to fill out an application. I'm joining a group of players under a name to have fun, I'm not applying for a job. Newbie probation doesn't really make sense to me either, its not a fraternity. I'm looking for the kinship that I can build friendships out of and have a good time enjoying the game doing that.

Never tried looking for a kin this way...so please bear with me as I put this out there. Character is currently in a kin, but I am researching other options for him.

- Ingame Name, Race, Class, and Current Level:

Ereban, Elf, Champion. 39

- If you are considering roleplaying, raiding, and/or player versus player combat

- I'm hoping to add a little more RP to a general exploring/almost-solo playing routine. I am not against doing the occasional raid, but I'm a horrible leader. ;) I just follow and hit as directed as best as I can.

- How many hours a week do you play?

Varies from 15 to 20 hours a week at some times, more or less as life allows. I admit that there have been short periods of non-play, but I think most people experience a necessity to be away from the chair :)

- Playstyle (explorer, grind-heavy, soloer, etc):

Explorer mostly. I am usually joined by my SO and we've covered a fair bit of ground together. We like to open up the map and see what we can see and pick through quests. I have tried to RP, but that's one of those "let's just go to the Pony and see what happens" sorts of situations.

My hope is to kind of balance out between RP, questing, and maybe a raid once in a while. Raiding is not something I have a great deal of experience in, I admit, and is probably the thing I'd want to ease into gradually with people who don't mind it.

- Various other information a kinship may find useful

I admit I don't know what that would entail. Other than that while I've played for a while I admit I still Don't Know Everything. I'm willing to learn what I don't know however, and in exchange, try to give that info back to people when they need it if the time arises.

Hi all. I am actually looking for a kinship for two people... and 4 characters.

Ingame name: (It's my intention to get all three characters 10 lvl's higher within a month or so.)
-Olderon - lvl 35 man champion
-Calora - lvl 16 elf run keeper
-Calhad - lvl 17 elf hunter

Medium role-play at best.
Central Time Zone


Here's the tricky part. I'm getting my girlfriend involved in gaming for the first time and I want her to be a part of the kinship with me. She and I are leveling together on the lower level characters. She has a lvl 16 minstrel elf. Keep in mind she is brand new to the world of mmorpg's. Her biggest concern is "people getting mad at her" haha. Having never played computer games (has played console games) the hardest part for her to start with was getting the viewing angle right. haha.

So we are looking for something rather casual. A good group of MATURE (we are both 28) individuals that would enjoy a few new characters. She will probably be available to play 2, maybe 3 nights a week. I would be available 3-4 nights a week.

If you think we would be a good fit for your kinship let me know and we can talk further.

I'm a returning player who is looking for a casual play, friendly kinship. I played the game at launch and (unfortunately) let my significant other drag me back to WoW. But I have always wanted to come back to this game, so here I am!

Acherian, Elf, Runekeeper, 25 (I began the game with a minstrel but decided to make a fresh start with a new class)

I am very interested in roleplaying, but consider myself "middle-of-the-road". I used to RP quite a bit in WoW back in the day. I have plenty of raiding experience in that game as well, but don't really play "hardcore" like that anymore. I'm interested, but not if it has to take over my life. :)

I play a couple of times a week. I'm in Central Time, but I work afternoons and nights, so I primarily play on the weekends and occasionally in the middle of the night.

I am primarily an explorer, as I'm new to the game and curious about what's out there. I also tend to have a weakness for crafting and trying out alts. I solo currently solo quite a bit, but only because I don't know anyone. :)

RL-wise, I'm 32, also playing Champions Online (casually) and can be considered a former (recovering?) WoW tourist. I enjoy playing with other people, and my short stops since beta haven't really helped me to do that. I keep going back to other games to play with people I know, so it's time to get to know people here so this can be the game that's "home."

Hello there again! I have been off on journeys but have finally returned, and bring with me the power of song and music! I have returned to the Shire, but fetching pies and mail has left me somewhat bored. I'm a good Hobbit Minstrel who will make a great cook for a traveling kinship and can definitely help to mend clothing and such with my skills as a Yeoman. I'm just starting to get out in the world, but if a fine kinship is looking for someone to help out, I'm yer Hobbit!

((Essentially, I've returned to the game and rolled a fresh Minstrel! I'm looking for a heavy RP kinship to join up with. Thanks for any responses and welcomes!))

(cross-posted to New Member part of the forum, because I fail and didn't see this thread until now)

Hello! Just joined two nights ago - merely level 8 thus far - so advanced apologies for being truly inept and clueless. I'm adoring it all so far, being a devout Tolkien fan for so many years no doubt contributes to the experience.

I did try my very best to browse the forums before actually playing in order to better make informed decisions regarding race, class, server, etc. Ended up with an Elf, LM, and chose Landroval as my server because the RP aspect appeals to me greatly. Haven't come across too many folk just yet, and I'm wondering how exactly one *does* go about courteously joining a kinship (or even a fellowship), as well as what crafting vocation would fit nicely with Celaradia's class. Do the two relate to one another, class and crafting? Significantly enough to make certain combinations a bad idea?

I'm most eager to meet others, and bask in the detail of this world worthy of the title Middle Earth. I love the gameplay and I'm as determined as the next person to level - but I'm really excited about how mature this community of people appears, how deep-seated your affections for LotR and Tolkien seem to be. I want to make friends with you! Enjoy the world with you! And I decided to take my first step here in the forums instead of fumbling about with improper in-game chat questions posed to unfortunate strangers. I could really see myself getting sucked into this, unlike other MMOs, thanks to the LotR being the based mythology.

I almost definitely should've/could've posted this elsewhere, I'm sure, like in the Landroval forum, but this is the designated New Player Without a Clue area, so this is where I put it.

So, kinships. Fellowships. Is the RP aspect directly linked to joining a kinship and involving yourself with a specific group's RPing? Is it inappropriate to want to join a kinship at such a humble level? Should I do more than select 'looking for fellowship' in the social panel in order to advertise that I'm interested in RP and joining a kinship? Any guidance or advice for a beginner with my gameplay style would be greatly appreciated.

Hoy dere. You might look at me and say "dere's a cute little one" but Mister, you gots another thin' comin'.

I ain't the marryin peaceful type, Ise got Tooks blood in me, y'see, and I'm lookin fer a few folks who can keep up wif me step out in the wilderness.

((moderate-heavy rp "salt of the earth" type character who i'm going to have sort of "grow up" in her adventures. Gamey-wise, i like to tank, ive been tanking in varoius mmorpgs for ages, and once i work out the kinks of this class, im sure ill be pretty good here too. I'd like to very casually raid (when im appropriate level and gear of course!), like no more than once a week if that, and i'd like to rp! Unlike alot of super-heavy rp hobbits, i'm not looking to join a hobbit-only or hobbit-focused kinship, i'd like to get that dynamic where i surprise the strong men of the north with my courage and determination ))

((edit: I've submitted an app to the Rohirrim themed kinship, here's hoping :) ))

I've got a level 60 Captain called "Romai". I've been playing off and on since beta, and I just came back for a few months to polish up my Captain before the new expansion. My gear and virtues are ****, so I've been working on my traits these last few days.

I kind of burned through the content as quick as I could to get to 60, so I haven't done... well, any of the raids. I've been meaning to for the last few years, but I've always levels to gain, so I've only just now gotten to focus on other things.

I'm twenty-two and working, so I typically only get to play around 4-9 PM CST, but I'm on pretty regularly. I'm spec'd for healing, if that matters. I'm a prospector, and I don't really craft, so I tend to have a lot of ore lying around. I never really tried the PvP, 'cause I'm not really into that. Hm... I guess that's it.

EDIT:

We've put in an app with a kinship to give them a try, but thank you for all the responses. Much appreciated! :)

Hello Tinrae! You sound like a couple who might just fit in with our ridiculous lot. You can read more about us at www.theonering.com/kinship

Look for me (Boffo), or my most favored lieutenant, Athelian/ Jenuilas in-game as well. If that fails, you may also try contacting Nogg.

Talk soon,
Chief Boffo

Contemplating a return to LOTRO on the Landroval server. I am looking for an rp guild that is active and enjoys both forum and in-game rp. Generally I rp an elf, but am considering a nice friendly hobbit as well. Grouping for questing is great, but I enjoy doing that in a role-playing framework.

Any good rp guilds out there recruiting? Please PM. :)

My wife and me (both 30+) are looking for a kinship. We are casual no-RP player that mostly play on the weekends. We have lifetime accounts and explored the game from Beta up to lvl 60 mostly as a two-people fellowship apart from a few PUGs.

The main problem probably is, that we're in Europe, so we're looking for a kinship that's (also) active during Europe afternoons and evenings (GMT+1). Are there any out there??

Greetings!

Until recently, I've only played MMOs as guest on other folk's accounts. Now that I have a proper connexion of my own, I joined LOTRO as I am a long-time Tolkien fan and other MMOs have no appeal whatsoever (I dislike 'spikey bits' as a fashion statement). While I've got a stable of characters, to better feed my crafting needs, I do have one that I'm focusing my time and attention on.

This would be Bretobrand Longtoes, a Fallohide Guardian [27 at this point] and Armorer. From what I've read here, I'd be the medium RP sort who tries to stay in character in public or in Fellowship. (Acting on advice from another, I keep meta-game comments in Tell.) As for Breto himself, I play him as a driven lad who wants to make sure the Shire is kept safe. If that means finding sheep or fighting wights, he's in the middle of it, shield-punching one and all. He's also keen on maintaining other hobbit traditions as his Inn League membership attests.

Since this is my first, and highest ranked, character, I still want to do everything. I like the little quests that help the locals with their pies, lost lunches or such like. I just spent a 'night' in the Midgewater Marshes searching for Tin so I could get the crafting levels. I enjoy exploring for both the bonuses and the great views. I'd also like to find some reliable folks to do those quests that need more than one tough guy.

In Real Life, I'm a house-husband with other interests (board games, comics, pumping iron, etc.) that keep my schedule varied. I'm in the PST zone and when I'm not doing chores or pursuing my hobbies, I can play in weekday afternoon/ evening and the occasional weekend (if I plan my schedule in advance). Somehow, I manage to play a few hours nearly every day of the week. And, needless to say, I qualify as an 'adult' player as I'm over fifty but actual levels of 'maturity' depend on the situation.

What would your suggestions be?

Hey there, Landroval.

I have recently decided to re-give this game a try as I used to play awhile back, but wanted to try Warhammer Online. My main (Caenre) is only a level 8 Warden at the moment (class subject to change) but I'm planning on leveling him much higher when I get the spare time.

In real life and in game, I love to RP, whether it be in PnP or Neverwinter Nights. I'd consider myself medium at most, however, as I do like OOC talking quite a bit (through tells). I love to play with a group, and tend to play classes that focus on teamwork (aka former Burg). I am 18, but I consider myself pretty mature.

All in all, any team-based, lite-medium RP guilds out there that don't mind a lowbie? If you happen to have current lowbies (be they alts or others), that's a plus too!

PM please. Thank you.

My charachter is a level 7 lore-master race of man.
I am seeking a a heavy RP guild. I would prefer a guild with an evil or dark theme.

Hello. I'm a 24 year old casual player (but medium-to-heavy RPer) looking for a friendly RP kinship that's okay with the fact that I don't play religiously and that I have a lot of alts. Any sort of friendly guild that's not too restrictive story-wise is fine... Ideally, I'd love one that I could join up with several of my characters. I play all races, both genders, and many classes. Characters:

Hamsen, hobbit minstrel
Orlen, human lore-master
Bronthryth, human Guardian
Baliphor, Elven rune-master
Aerdris, Elven Hunter
Leofryth, human Burglar
Freyldir, Dwarven Champion

I'm a pretty laid-back, friendly player who values intelligent RP and a respect for Lore/the game.

Please let me know if you have a kinship that fits what I'm looking for! Megakinships of hundreds of members probably wouldn't be the best match for me.

(( edited - I've found a Kin, thank you to everyone who so kindly messaged me! ))
