Looking for a Kinship? Post here.

Name: Lagaroth - Dwarf - Guardian (Lvl 13 as of April 9)
Age: 17
Preferred Server: Arkenstone <== Must be on this server!
Location: Malaysia +8 GMT
Play style: Casual
Other MMO's: FFXI, Ragnarok Online

Kinship Preferences: I would like to be part of a casual Kinship, with no requirements, I do not want to feel pressured into logging on or levelling, I like to play when I feel like it, I have a life and other things to do as well! :P Kinships with characters around my level and just starting out in LOTRON would be preferred. And i love questing and hunting for ore!

I want intelligent mature company that I can be friends with! Not brats with numeric names (l3g0l4as), that go's for the kinship as well!

PM in game or leave me a message on the forums! Thanks! =D

looking to join a kinship on Windfola, got a lvl 7 captain woman Felwen and a lvl 1 loremaster Felion. All my characters will begin with Fel in case you guys have trouble finding me in game :)

funny, I'm a guy, but the character that will probably cap out first is Felwen, lol. :-D

let me know by PM or email :)
-Felion (aka Felwen, aka the Green Knight)

Brandywine Server;

30 year old seeking mature guild.

main MMORPG experience includes UO; EQ; DAoC; CoH/V; AA; DDO; WoW; Beta-tested many of those. Experienced in groups, endgame, some PvP.

Currently playing: lvl 15 minstrel-scholar; 8 captain-tinker; 6 loremaster-explorer; unsure which will be the main once open game starts though likely minstrel.

I offer: Dedicated, intend to craft, and will show up for guild events when able. I do not "guild hop", greif, beg for money/favors, whine, and generally avoid drama. I do aid guildmates, offer crafting services free or for mats if I dont have them, and prefer to group with guildies.

I am looking for: Serious players, though not hardcore. RL has to come first, but do not want a guild that has players make token appearances once a month. That being said, if you insist that all of your players log 5 hours per day every day; you're a bit too hardcore for me ;) A guild with helpful people who are commited to their members and to enjoying the game is perfect! Basically; if your guildname is relatively fantasy-appropriate <or at least amusing> your members are helpful and enjoyable to group with I'd love to become a part of it. If your guildname is similar to "DoOdZ of RoxxoR" and you are composed of mainly 12 year olds on powertrips; thanks and gl to ya!

Bynot (May play with a different name: no ingame characters yet)
Age: Over 25
Preferred server: None, don't have a character yet:
Location: CST - USA - Usually evenings and some weekends
Playstyle: Prefer to group up. If the Kinship has consistant groups in my level I'd even primary as a healer. Love PvP.
Why kinships should be interested in you: Im a great guy who play maturely and loves to play on a good team. Open to any class or role, just like to group adventure of MMOs
MMOs Played: LOTRO A2-B4, EQ2, WoW
What kind of kinship you are looking for: Fairly mature players, but doesn't need to be an adults only guild. MUST HAVE A VOIP SERVER WITH PEOPLE ON IT!!. Also looking for a guild that likes to play togother most of the time. I feel if you want to mainly solo buy a single player RPG.

Your name, or character name and race (if known):
Character name is Rivan, race is human, and I am a burgler
Age: (some kinships have real life age limits)
RL age is 21
Preferred server(s), if any. (This is not needed, just for kinship info.):
No real preferred server.
Location. (Timezone preferences if any, state/country, etc.):
Eastern timezone
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 enjoy working solo and in groups. Not a big fan of RP however I don't have a hatred or anything for it. So far I have been enjoying alot of crafting. Other than that I am relatively new to MMO's and really don't know.
MMO games you’ve played:
As I said I am relatively new to MMO's. I have played a few trials but nothing of this style before. I have played many MUD's over the years and am well versed in RPG's, however the whole graphics thing is still a bit new to me.
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 very friendly person and get along with basically everyone. I am always up for some group activities or for helping someone else. I am by no means hardcore but I do have time to play and will play regularly.
What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters):
I am basically looking for a kinship that is mainly like a family. A group that is very close knit and gets along well. Actually doing raids and large group activities are not as important as just some general help every now and again. This by no means I am looking for a group that is devoid of activity and just hangs out all the time.

Shavani

Human Burglar

28 (Married)

Server: Elendilmir

Easter time zone but mainly play during the daytime and rarely on weekends.

Casual gamer, would like to do some raiding but cannot keep up with a nightly schedule anymore.

Be easier to list MMO's I havent played. You can ask me for my gaming history is you want. I'm an ex-powergamer in rehab.

I'm looking for a close knit kinship to have fun playing the game with. Friends to play are what make an MMO good or bad.

Server: Nimrodel
Name: Bourque
Class/Race/lvl: Dwarf Champion, made 10 today
Prev MMO: WoW, DAoC, Everquest
Zone: Pacific
Style: Casual

Kinship seeking: Select * where 1337 d00dz = 0. I plan to play an hour or so every other day, a couple hours on weekends, ideally with folks more interested in game goals (quests, advancing craft skills, et. al.) than arguing over 'ph@t lewts'. Don't really want to grind, if I can avoid it.

See you online!

-B

Your name, or character name and race (if known):Ben, character name is Jenbu or some form of it.

Age: I am 16, turning 17 this year.

Preferred server(s), if any. (This is not needed, just for kinship info.): I will make a character on your server, but i have a Elf Guardian on Vilya

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

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 dont mind RP, i can. I can solo and i love to group, raid, PvP and im pretty casual.

MMO games you’ve played:WoW, Guild Wars, Anarchy, Everquest 2, Matrix Online. (i dont play them anymore)

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 mature player, i don't talk in 1337 5p3ak. I plan on playing a bit of everything, and im very dedicated and an easy going guy. I like to have fun, helping others and follows directions in groups.

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): Im looking for a mature kinship that is looking to do a bit of everything, but not hardcore, you have to be on 12 hours a day, fellowship. It would also be nice if you had a voice chat program such as ventrilo or Teamspeak, or i can provide a ventrilo server for a small fellowship (less than 20), but it's not necessary.

I'm just trying to find a nice balanced kinship where I can meet new people and find a way to break out of my shell as I'm not much of a social person. Not too experienced in groups, so it'd be nice to change that about myself because yes, its a very hard shell to crack. Lvling to me is an important aspect because I have never once been to the end-game of an MMO. I'm usually on 10 PM tp 3 AM PST, although its not always a set schedule.

Age: 21
Character: Elveren, Captain of Gondor
Location: Washington State
Playstyle: Balanced

I've played about 10 MMOs, starting with EQ, so its amazing that I'm just now trying to get into the social thing of things, lol. The OP gave good advice and I think it is important to put down why one would like me in their kinship. I'm generally kind to all people, not for any gain, but because it is who I am. I'm also a person that will sacrifice himself to save the group. It's a habit developed from being a Warrior in every MMO I've played. Though I like the Captain the best in this (in the process of restarting him to change his look), so its nice to have a change of pace for once. Getting a kinship would be nice for one more reason. I've never been on a raid before, its somethig I have to experience.

Anyway, I'm running out of time so I'll say GL to all the kinships and GL in game.

Name: Celebnor Elf Hunter

Age: 18

Server: Windfola

Location: USA, preferably east coast, but I'm a college student so I can be on almost whenever lol

Playstyle: I only have experience with soloing and fellowship stuff in this game, but I'm up for anything. I think I might like PvP

MMO games you’ve played: SWG for two years i think? It's hard to keep track of the time lol

What do you offer kinships?: Well I'd like to think that I am a relatively mature player who is devoted to playing, having a good time and enjoying this game with other people. Plus I'm not one of those 13 year old 1337 kids

What kind of kinship you are looking for: Honestly, I am not too sure. I'm thinking a relatively well established, not-too-hardcore, mature kinship that is relatively interested in PvP, but as I said, I'm up for anything, so most of that is negotiable...except for the mature part. That is a must.

Your name, or character name and race (if known): Ryan (my name), Aureles, Elf


Age: 22


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


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


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.): a mix of playstyles, but I lean toward grouping


MMO games you’ve played: EQOA, SWG, EVE, EQ2, WoW, COH&COV, DDO, VG:SOH


Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: I am group oriented and do not hesitate to help others.


What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): One that has a large, active playerbase.

I have been playing MMORPGs since Gemstone III in the early 90s. In the last few years, I have been busy with EQ2 and WoW. In that time, I was a guildleader and officer of a hardcore raiding guild.

Now that I am married, I dont have time for a hardcore raid guild and I have no interest in being a leader/officer. I am now looking for a family guild that is laid back, but is still determined on achieving all the goals in LOTR.

I have no preference on server, although playing with people in the Eastern/Central Timezones would be nice.

Your guild must have a real website (not a guildportal one), a dedicated leader, mature members, and a vision for the guild. Teamspeak/vent a plus.

Your name, or character name and race: Weichelt (Men)
Age: 24

Location: WI, USA

Playstyle: Casual - probably average 1hr per day on weekdays and 3+hrs on weekends

MMO games you’ve played: FFXI, LOTRO December '06 Beta

Why kinships should be interested in you: In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships? I've always been huge into teamwork. Played sports all through my life and continue to do so. Lead many teams to championships (leagues, intramurals, etc.)

Education - Earned my B.A. in Criminal Justice and another in Psychology with a minor in Military Leadership. Starting police academy in Fall '07. I enjoy helping others, which was actually one of the most enjoyable aspects of playing FFXI for me. That was my first MMO and did not know what they were or that they even existed until that point....not that I'm an expert now.

LOTR - like everyone else here I'm a huge fan. It pains me to say that I saw the movies first, then became interested, but nevertheless I loved the movies and moved on to reading the books. The hobbit is my favorite thus far, but I haven't yet finished the Silmarillion. Own the trivial pursuit, battle for middle earth I and II, LOTR (all 3) for gamecube, The third age for xbox, and I think thats about it. And again I've played the december '06 beta (unfortunately falling on finals week so I didn't get nearly as many hours in as I had hoped). Level 12 hunter, Level 13 Lore-master (both Elf).

What kind of kinship you are looking for: I'm looking for a kinship that has a mature member base, a few jokers every now and again is ok, but there is no need for childish behavior or arguing/fighting. It should be thought of as a team....a group of individuals who've come together for common goals. First of which is to have fun and explore the vast world of Tolkien's Middle Earth!

Name: James

Age: 40

Preferred server(s), if any. : none

Location. : Northern Va. playtimes EDT-MDT (I play as late as 2am EDT)

Playstyle. : I'd like to find a consistent group for myself, and my wife and myself when she joins me

MMO games you’ve played: EQ, DAoC, WoW, EvE beta, AO, UO, DDO beta, think a couple I've forgotten

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: Mature, smart, capable of handling which ever roll the class I play needs to perform. Was a Warrior in EQ, tank/puller mainly, and was a very good group leader running thru dungeons or pulling to the group in places such as Lower Guk. Try to use these principals in WoW, but as many know, most in WoW have no clue how to group correctly :) Also, I am most interested in honesty and integrity. I am a Christian, and back in Diablo, joined a clan to avoid all the grievers, which eventually carried over into EQ as a guild called the Mist Riders. I was the leader at that time, and my main focus was always to offer others a home when honesty and integrity were the foundation, over raiding or other such things. So that is something I seek, beyond things like being a socially friendly group, being mature players (I tend to work better with older, or at the least, mature, gamers), who understand that you pick a guild/kinship to be dedicated to it, and help it grow and mature and become stronger. You help your fellows, you trade goods between each other at a discount which helps your group as a whole, you give advice, council, help, etc. because you care about the others in your guild/kinship. By working together, you strengthen then whole and create a feeling of family and acceptance of members of varying skills and abilities.

What kind of kinship you are looking for. : not an all out raiding guild. Somewhat social, family oriented, adventurers maybe you would call it. I like to experience the game the first time thru an area, not just rush by everything. I like to find others who want to/can run quests together and get to know each other. If I do play LOTRO, which is seeming likely, my wife will also be playing with me, though much less than myself. So a guild with other married couples would be a plus, so there will be others with similar issues such as kids, who will be understanding, plus, well, she doesn't play much, and having some other women to chat with when she does play would be a big plus. I'll probably be into the Monster battle stuff, not sure yet what else is in the end game, and I do play almost nightly 3 to 5 hours. As stated previously, players who are not interesting in grieving others, are interested in honorable play and dealings with others, are the type of people we would like to associate with.

Myself, I've run a few guilds, most notably the Mist Riders on Mithaniel Marr in EQ for 3 years or so. Eventually moved on to DAoC, but began to tire of trying to run things, especially with babies turning into toddlers, and just too many distractions. So I understand many of the issues getting guilds going and keeping them going. the one thing I will be is a steady member. I do not fly off the handle accussing others with no reason, I'm more likely to understand a misunderstanding and forgive another than to call them a lier and create turmoil.

So, hope to hear from some good people, and take this opportunity during beta to meet you on the server(s) you are on and maybe some of your members can explain more of the intricacies of this game :)

aka Olosnah, Corran, Aylanee, and others :) making up names is always an adventure for me :) haha

Your name, or character name and race (if known): Nourthpaul - Human Champion; Sonnyomara - Dwarf Guardian

Age: 27

Preferred server(s), if any: I'm currently on Gladden, but would be willing to start fresh on another server.

Location: U.S., west coast, PST. During the week my free time is usually from morning to afternoon and late evening, so that's when I'd be around the most. Weekends are my busiest times so I am usually only around during evenings. I am mostly up until around 12 or 12:30 am PST.

Playstyle: I tend to lean toward solo/duo play as most PvP I've encountered doesn't really interest me. I do like to get in groups for XP or quests or any other party-oriented activities there might be besides PvP.

MMO games you’ve played: In addition to LotR, I'm currently playing WoW, FFXI, Tales of Pirates, Scions of Fate, Corum Online, Silkroad, Rose and Maple Story. I've also played many other MMOs including RO, Goonzu, Flyff and Hero.

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: With the majority of my online gaming time, I'm usually playing WoW (I'll play LotR more often once I upgrade my CPU a bit). I'm in a GREAT guild there and am always willing to help out where and when I can. I'm mature and great to get along with. Even though, like a lot of people, I'm still brand new to the game, I will always try my best to do my part and help fellow Kinship mates.

What kind of kinship you are looking for: Friendly, mature and helpful, but at the same time has a sense of humor and can laugh/joke about things. One of the things that I just can NOT stand are guilds/groups/linkshells that take everything WAY too seriously and make every minute of their lives about the game and ONLY the game. As I mentioned, I'm not one for PvP, but am game for any other kinds of kinship activities that happen. I just want to have fun with the game and my kinship, help out where I can and not feel pressured to "be at suchandsuchaplace on this day at this time."

What kind of kinship you are looking for.

Vendui' il'er ((greetings all))

((ooc)) I am seeking a kinship upon the fire server. i am interested in one with a lean toward the medium to excessively hardcore RP style (at least within kinship channels). I bring with me many years of online gaming experience as well as leadership in a few guilds of different worlds i have been in. The list of games i have been in is far to long to place here but lets just say.. if its been created.. i've more then likely played it.. MMO as well as other online and mud type games ((ex. Second life .. LoRD))

I tend to hunt solo but do not mind a good group outting once in a while and am a very hardcore RP'r personally although a break now and then is obviously required so that things that might be misunderstood can be cleared up.. i am also quite effecient in the Tolkien language "Quenya" .. which i have taken the past 9 years to study and continue to do so as new documents are uncovered and new words associated with different things.

If you are upon the fire server and mayhaps i might feel welcome within your kinship.. i seek you please send me a message in world or here in the forums

Thank you!

MMO games you’ve played:

Why kinships should be interested in you.

I've been playing online rpg's since 2001 or so. I have extensive experience in playing just about every class. I have also led raids, and was an officer in a couple of the guilds I was in. I am definitely experienced in both the realms of dealing dps and playing a healer. I was playing roughly four hours a day in world of warcraft, in the realm of raiding and pve. Will prob be playing mostly from 6-midnight weekdays and varies on weekends.

I'm interested in a kinship which would be female friendly, group friendly, light or no role play, raids, groups, and is definitely mature. I'm not interested in a guild that is full of immature players, or is so focused on "winning the raid" it has a militaristic and caustic leadership. For example I dont like it when people openly yell at others during raids, this is not fun in my opinion. Definitely looking for a group of easy going, fun loving people. :)

Oh and contact info if you want to ask more questions: magealita@gmail.com
