Looking for a Kinship? Post here.

[Arun77]

Arnahir Aramaethor, Lv 32 Captain, about mid 20's to early 30's

Server: Riddermark, Pacific Standard Time (PST) (-8000)

Being a Captain, I usually prefer raids, but any group activity is fine. It's kinda hard trying to solo with a captain.

I honestly can't list all the MMO's I've played, but my last 2 (like 5 yrs ago) were Lost Saga and Dofus, but I only played those for a few months max.

I believe kinships would be interested in me partially due to the interesting increasing demand of captains, because I'm a good healer, getting to be an great buffer, and I can still do really good damage for a captain. I also have 2K+ morale when my soldier as well as my herald are around. If needed (though I prefer that others do it for me), I'm also an o.k. prospector and weapon smith. So I'm the "Mario" type of captain, well balanced in practically everything.

The type of guild that I am looking for is one that constantly goes on group events, can craft/get me good gear, and that won't be pissed off if I'm not on a lot (I'm sorta busy), however, not necessarily in that order. An added bonus would be a guild that, if possible, could train me to be a better captain. But being in a guild in which I'm one of the higher levels is fine with me.

[Turnardel]

Hi everybody - new here on the forum - only just got around to registering!

I'm looking for a fairly casual Kinship to join for trade and a few social glames, here are my details:

Your name, or character name and race (if known): Turnardel, Elf
Age: 36
Preferred server(s), if any. : Currently play on Evernight
Location. (Timezone preferences if any, state/country, etc.): England, GMT
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.): To date I've just been working through the quests, but I miss the social aspect from other MMO's and decided to look for friends
MMO games you’ve played: Entropia Universe mainly, a little but of WoW
Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: My way of playing MMOs has always been about social play and supporting new players whenever possible to help make their way in the game. I hope I'm good company usually!
What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): Not too serious, no minimum 'attendance' or amount of playtime, just an easy going friendly Kinship, helping each other and having fun.

[Jaysi]

Your name, or character name and race (if known): Izlaran, Elf Champion

Age: 18

Preferred server(s), if any: I go on Imladris at the moment, willing to change though for whatever Kinship I end up joining.

Location: Central Timezone/Wisconsin, USA

Playstyle: New to this game, just looking for a community that will be willing to take a new member, and that'll be around as I level and grow in the game.

MMO games you’ve played: World of Warcraft and Runescape

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: Although I don't have experience on LOTRO, I do have about 4-5 years of solid MMORPG experience. I'm very "community oriented" and I'm usually able to have civilized conversations. I'm ready to learn this game, and grow as the Kinship grows.

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I'm not really sure to be honest, I guess I can just explore my options and pick one that I feel I'd be comfortable with

[Lirilla]

Your name, or character name and race (if known): Lirilla, Elf, Hunter (Woodsman)

Age: (some kinships have real life age limits): 25

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

Location. (Timezone preferences if any, state/country, etc.): GMT+8

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 (but would like groups), PvE, casual, crafter

MMO games you’ve played: Runescape, other Korean MMOs

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 mature and friendly player who would not hesitate to help out if I can.

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I am looking for a mature, active and casual guild where I can chat online while soloing or join in instances or raids if the kinship is running them. I am currently very active as I am on a break, but the main obstacle would be that I'm not able to commit 100% after I find a job. I will be on at least twice a week for an hour or two after this.

Do Tell ingame under "Lirrila" or post a PM, thank you!

[Samak]

Name: Kaeldrin, Elven Lore-master, Level 70
Age: Adult
Preferred server: Crickhollow
Location: Western USA, Pacific Time Zone
Playstyle: Manly solo, some group. Very interested in Fellowship instances, RAIDS (casual or hardcore), role-play, end-game, limited time

I'm tentatively searching for Crickhollow Kinships which are active the same time as I am. The Kinship I'm in has been dealt several blows in leadership availability and much has changed to the effect that no one in my Kinship is on when I am. I don't like tooting my own horn, but I am friendly and engaging to those I meet, I help out to have others enjoy the magic of Lotro, and I don't make enemies. My reason for searching is simply that I feel alone and without anyone online on my Kin to talk to or quest with.

I'm searching for a Kinship that appreciates role-play; is willing to do instances, skirmishes, and raids; and is supportive to all who join.

Please send messages to my inbox with any information you can give me, and thank you!

[Hadoriel]

Your name, or character name and race: Hadoriel, Elf Lore-Master
Age: 18
Preferred server: Gladden
Location: Minnesota, USA (CST)
Playstyle: Mostly solo, but groups when I'm not being super shy. Roleplaying is also super cool! Overall casual, though
MMO games you’ve played: Oh gosh... WoW for, like, a day. D&D Online for a few days... Man, a lot of fantasy-based ones, but I've never gotten into one as much as LOTRO!
Why kinships should be interested in you: Um... Well, once I get over my shyness, I can be very talkative, helpful and just all around cool! c:
What kind of kinship you are looking for: A small, casual, social one! One that'll get me talking to people, having fun and learning.

So, basically, I just feel like I'm being way too shy on this game and that having some cool friends to talk to would make it x100 more fun! c:
Thanks for reading!

[phoenixheartt]

Hey everyone,

thanks for taking the time to read my post.

I'm looking for a laid back leveling kinship. A kinship that can help in quests, skirmishes and more if they are able to.
I've played the game before a long time ago about 2 years ago to be exact. Back then I was in a hardcore guild and right now I don't have the time for a hardcore guild as I am a very busy person in real life.

I love a friendly community, I dont care how big the community is be it 500,50 or 5 if it has good friendly people, then I'm interested.

I'll be most likely making a new dwarf guardian (tank). It'll be my first time making a tank class so It'll be great of a kinship could help me get comfortable tanking.

I'd be able to help anyone my lvl or lower at the times I'll be online which will most likely consist of weekends.

So yeah, any laid back kinships interested in me?

Hello Mystic Knights would love to have you apart of our friendly guild, we are a laid back And enjoy having fun and helping one another, If your Interested please send someone in out guild a message http://my.lotro.com/guild-865535561271955855/.

[Syko2517]

Your name, or character name and race: Daniel - Character name: Elandu, Elf Hunter
Age: 20
Preferred server: Elendilmir
Location: Australia (GMT+10)
Playstyle: PvMp oriented gameplay, Hardcore instance/raids (ex-Wow), solo when I can't get a group, Semi-casual

Why kinships should be interested in you: I'm an ex-beta player, I quit back around the lvl50 cap when there was lack of content. At the moment I've just rerolled and leveling up to 75, but once I reach there I will be wanting to raid. I have a good history with hardcore and competitive gaming. I love Lord of the Rings, the only reason I've started playing again is because of nostalgic whilst watching the trilogy :s.

I'm willing to help out lower level players if I have nothing to do (usually a lot of the time).

I'm usually laidback and very social, I'm looking for similar folks to roll with.

What kind of kinship you are looking for: Looking for semi-casual/hardcore kins who raid atleast once a fortnight, won't fuss if I miss an event (social life comes first). I'm willing to reroll on another server aslong as you have many low levels. Obviously I'm looking for kins within the Australian timezone or has Aus-friendly event times.

Availability: Friday night, Saturday (sometimes, as I said social life comes first), Sunday, Monday. All other times I am attending lectures.

Overall, I've been told I'm a pleasant person to be around and talk to - can't say much more than that :s

Well met, Lotro Community!

I currently have a 62 Man Guardian over on Landroval and am second in command in a little 5-6 man Kin made up of long time gaming friends, with all but two now being inactive. I've been considering another server to make a new character on and split my downtime between the two. I'm interested in joining a small to medium sized, active, 18-21+, light role-play kinship. Hopefully some of which are newer players. My RL name is JT (male), and I am 42 years old. I reside down in Texas and am pretty laid back for the most part, but do like to get involved in Kin activities and of course helping others. I'm leaning towards rolling a hobbit hunter or an elf lore-master. But would be open to making whatever that Kin needed if was asked to.


Thanks for the time, and I hope to hear from some of you via PM's.

Name or character name: Unknown, waiting to see what the team would need (would like to be a healer though).

Age: 24

Location: USA; MST timezone.

Playstyle: Casual, and I like to play support/healing positions.

MMO games you’ve played: None

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 easy going guy. I have little to no experience with MMO's, however, I can learn any position. Games I am experienced with are games like Diablo 2, KOTOR, and Dragon Age. For my personality type, I'm a casual gamer as I have a wife, career, school, and other responsibilities. This is just a game to me (unlike some people who take online gaming as life and death), however, I really want to get into a game that I can play with others (not impressed with other games on the market right now). Also, I'm professional as much as possible when it comes to language because I don't want to sound ignorant or offend someone. I understand that obscenities slip or can add flavor to conversation, but not when it is used every other word in your speech.

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I'm looking for a kinship that play regularly enough to be able to not have to wait all the time to hear from them, but also understand that there are lives outside of the game. The members must be willing to allow for new comers to learn the game and be fair among everyone. Really, I'm just looking for understandable people or people that have similar views as me. Please feel free to contact me here or my personal mail at marc.brejcha@gmail.com

Hello I have played LOTRO off and on since release playing other games but always returning to lotro. I have all content and never use it. In other games I was part of a small group raiding sized guild of mature players. Everyone helped everyone get what they needed but understood people will not always drop everything there doing to help.

I am Fussco currently 54 Hobbit Burglar. I am easy going player who has enjoyed mostly solo play. I have only ever been in a group for a few Skirmishes and some Moria dungeons on my hunter. I am looking to get in a Kinship that does all content. I am 41 so I'm Looking for a kinship with a mature group. I also want to be part of a kinship, not one of the 100+ members. I play all hours of the day and night but would not be interested in dungeons or raids around dinner time east coast time 6-8pm A hobbit has to eat.

*I am not interested in joining a Kin with a name that I would considered not fitting the lore of the game.

Does the idea of pulling four groups at a time delight you? Or 6 manning raids? Looking for folks I can tear content to shreds with and become friends with : D

not sure what i have to offer except a friendly face, but it would be nice to have a rather large, active kinship that's friendly to game with

[Bravos]

I'm looking for the RIGHT Kinship. Getting recruited isn't a challenge. The recruiters all say about the same thing but once you get in its a different story. So rather than list my credentials and hope someone likes me, I will list what I want in a kin and you can come to me to see if I like you.

Too harsh? Lets compromise then. I'll give you some of my info as well as what I'm looking for in a Kin and you can take it from there.
I have seven characters. I want to help other players. This is my first and only MMO though I've played single player, Dragon Age, Company of Heroes, Baldurs Gate, Oblivion, MechWarrior, Mech Commander (last 2 very ancient).

Bravorn Man lvl 38 Warden - Artisan Jeweler
Bravos Man lvl 35 Hunter - Artisan Woodworker
Bravadan Elf lvl 32 Rune Keeper - Artisan Weaponsmith & Scholar
Bravodor Elf lvl 32 Minstrel - Artisan Metalsmith
Bravoric Hobbit lvl 30 Burglar - Expert Tailor
Bravwulf Man lvl 30 Captain - Explorer
Bravori Dwarf lvl 24 Guardian - Explorer

I love a group skirmish and will gladly wade into enemy as the tank or keep my ego in check when playing a healer.

I'm 61, former Cavalry Troop Commander with awards in leadership and tactics (no brag but can help organize a new kin) but have no desire to "take over" just to contribute to a worthy Kin. I have 2 boston terriers that are more like mutants than dogs. (Nothing to do with LOTRO but along with my wife are the center of my world.)

I live in St. Louis. I have a full time job yet spend a couple hours most nights in LOTRO and more hours on week-ends so I'm far from a part time player but I am still a noob in many ways. I respect all players whether they play a little on week ends or exist only on line. The only thing I don't tolerate is intolerance.

What do I want in a Kin? Maturity (go figure). Real concern for new members and an organized method for identifying the needs of members. There should be experienced members in each class that "adopt" recruits in that class and help them develop skills, etc. They help line up resources for their troops from craft folk.

The craft folk need to be supported with materials so they can more easily provide for new members. Senior explorers should coordinate with crafters and organize an effective supply effort.

I want to be a part of a group that can laugh and have fun but also genuinely care about each other and work hard to help each other not as a duty but as an oportunity to make a difference.

You can see my race, class, and level in my signature. I'm really just looking for a committed kinship that often goes on instances/skirmishes and with level support. Other than that, I would like to join a kinship with mature(by this, I mean mentally) members who are respectful and know the English language. Please send me a PM here or on my character in this signature if you would like to have me, thank you.
