Looking for a Kinship? Post here.

[John0745]

ATTENTION: Kinship Recruiters. This thread is NOT for your advertisements. This thread is for people who are looking. Respect this rule, please. PM those who may be of interest to you.

Use this thread if you are undecided on a kinship (guild) or are confused by how many there are and what server to choose.

I encourage you to post sufficient information about yourself so that recruiters will know if they are interested in you or not.

For example:

Your name, or character name and race (if known):
Age: (some kinships have real life age limits)
Preferred server(s), if any. (This is not needed, just for kinship info.):
Location. (Timezone preferences if any, state/country, etc.):
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:
Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?:
What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters):

My name is John and my Character is Meriadoke (Human Champion) Level 35
I am 69 years old today. I live in California (Pacific Time) and am retired. I play a lot 4-5 days a week (my wife has a random weekday off.)
I have gotten this far play solo, I would like to learn to play in fellowships.
Some of my quests even though they say they are "Solo" I get mobbed by large groups and can't complete the quest until I'm several levels over what they say the quest is.
This is the first MMO I've really played. I've tried others but just didn't like them for one reason or the other.

I would like to get a fuller understanding to the game.

I would suggest that you say what server you are on to help recruiters know if you can join them and then pose a question in the new players forum asking for advice on how to play your champ.

And welcome to LOTRO

I play on Meneldor server. And, I'm actually level 38, I misspoke before, and I am in Evendim.

I play on the Meneldor Server. I am currently in Evendim... But most of the Solo quests I'm doing I get mobbed and can't complete the quest.

This is the 2nd time I've posted, the first time I got no response. Do I have to come back here to get a response or will it come to my email address?

I tried getting a fellowship today by sending out a text to /regional, no response.

Do I have the plague or something?

Hey John,
check your private messages
Thats how kins would contact you.

[Shanbwa]

character names: garrdian (guardian), maitiku (minstrel), ayuhmii (rune keeper), asukya (hunter)
these are the chars i try to use, as i'm quite new, still
i have 1 more char slot, but use it to try other classes to see if more are nice to use for me

age: 29 (almost 30)

server: Gilrain (rather stay there than to start all over, and a reallife friend is there too)

location: GMT+2 now, GMT+1 at wintertime (europe) (english is not native language, but want english guild.... kinship

playstyle: solo when i farm stuff (any kind of craft*, xp and such), team when i need help, or when i'm interested in some kind of mission/quest

MMO's i've played: Guild Wars (first one, not second.... still playing it alot), perfect world (game, since i'm far behind, i havent had the will to return much, to be honest)

what kind of kinship i'd like to join:
helpful and nice to help with even the easiest things
EXPLANATION: i've had an accident, and that caused me some brain damages, which make me slow in a few ways: absences make me gone for 5-15 seconds, my left and right side of my body dont work well, on themselves and together, meaning the communication lacks, then my brains can't handle much pressure, causing me to 1. get agressive if i have too much to my head at once (like 2 people talking to me at same time, in reallife), 2. my brains work slowly, so reading will have to be done a few times before i get a line/sentence through my head

**i just cant handle much pressure on me**

it might hard to see it, or to know what to do about it
well, dont do much at all, let me rest a bit
in Guild Wars for example, i take a break if i have done a mission or few quests on my own

when someone else (or a few other people) join me, its best to have them do most the work, so that i can take it easy with my brains, so i rather do some damage and shouldnt have an important job in the team

might sound weird, but its been harder for me to handle it, than for others
all those years in Guild Wars only a very few people understood my situation like 70-80%

also, i cant work for a real income, so i have a small income to stay alive, and collected some money to buy moria expansion for 5 char slots and the 2 newer classes
so i cant just go and buy me something i need, meaning i do alot of work ingame to get turbine points to get more storage space, for example

i do like to learn alot, but it takes a long time before it stays in my head, you could say
like i'm interested in crafting, so my 4 chars will be: armourer, historian, tinker and woodsman, so will have all what i need to make stuff

so i'm basically looking for a kinship which can handle me... mostly
also, with warm weather it's even worse, so i either need more breaks, or be needed even less in teams

because of this all, all i did was slowly getting deeds done with buffs and turbine points
also, i'm slow, so no pvp for me, heh.... hope that'd be clear, as it takes a while to use the right skills, and to learn what they do

also because of this, i dont do stuff with time limits or where i have to hurry up (except if failing doesnt do anything bad, like fishing sounds fun

sorry for such long story, but before i get: come on, pay attention. or: why dont you just do this and that the way we all do it?, i rather have you know this all

ps. i turned off world chat for same reason, as i cant follow chats fast enough either, even made new chat tabs for it

last note: thats why i just use 4 chars, to learn about 4 classes which seem easy to me, 5th char slot will just be used for fun and to try classes... maybe i'll use all 5 one day

in case you might not get it, this is also why i play my own way, cuz i'm slow, and so i just play around alot to get the hang of stuff
dont think i'm offended if you think i play like a newbie or a kid (my account is old, i'm not that new, just havent done much)

also i have a question about the very first post: why doesnt it matter in what server we play? i mean in my case i'd need the help in Gilrain when i need help... which i might need alot, especially on higher level parts

anyway, i think that's enough info and reasons for my request, i hope to find a nice kinship for me to enjoy the game more

1 more thing, thats also a reason why i dont play captain.... that class has more to do that just dmg and heal o_O

[Grendel_T_Troll]

NAME: Brewdic - Hunter/Woodworker

Age: 47

Preferred server: Landroval [EN-RE]

Location: Pacific Time Zone (-8:00)

Playstyle: RP, Crafter, solo or group.

MMO games I've played: SWG, EVQ2, SWTOR, WoW, been with LoTRO since beginning, but I never went far...

Why kinships should be interested in me: I really try to stay in character. I love to RP while playing MMO's. I try to share the spotlight with others as much as I can. If someone doesn't have a lot of RP experience, I can help them.

What kind of kinship I am looking for: An RP kin that has good stories and has a friendly environment. Some drama is ok, but, if it dominates the chat, it needs to be squelched.

[Amergin]

Greetings! I'm another returning player - actually a Founder. I originally started on Gladden, but have moved to Landroval after hearing nothing but great things about the community since I came back. I last played shortly after Mirkwood came out.

Character names: Amerygn, 62 captain (human); Gillerian, 29 minstrel (elf); Guilliame, 20 burglar (hobbit); and Storhoi, 17 champion (dwarf). Yeah, you'd think after all this time I'd have something higher than 62...

Age: 50. Nice, round, even. I even have a cane, though I don't need it yet.

Server: Landroval, duh.

Location: US Eastern time. Weekday playtime is generally evenings; weekends are variable.

Playstyle: PvE, preferably with others, though OK with soloing. I'm an experienced roleplayer, but haven't done any LOTRO roleplay to date; I'm open to a kin with RP but it's not my main focus. I enjoy instancing (though I'm very rusty) and the occasional raid; my hardcore raiding days are behind me. I sometimes call my style "serious casual" - I want to be good at my chose role or class, but not to the point of making the game my job.

MMO games I've played: Oh geez. EQ1, EQ2, Earth & Beyond, EVE, Horizons, WoW, GW2, SWTOR, and have dipped my toes in several more.

Why should you be interested in me? I'm civil, friendly, helpful when I can be, occasionally humorous, and I make a mean Dark & Stormy. What's that, you can't drink these? More for me, then.

What kind of kinship am I looking for? I'm looking for a socially-oriented kinship with a primarily PvE and social focus; roelplaying is fine and I'm happy to chip in to RP events or stories. I want to be able to do cool things with cool people, who take things just seriously enough to play reasonably well, but not so seriously as to mistake the game for a life priority.

[Gyl_UK]

Long time player of over five years - lifetime subscription. Currently playing on Eldar and kinless.

Age 50, male, UK, with family and job but often online most nights for 2-3 hours.
Mains: RK (level 100) and Warden (soon will be level 100) and levelling up Guardian, Loremaster and Captain.

RK: Gyldorion
Warden: Gylbrennan

Looking for a friendly, helpful kin.
Am into PvE but not PvP (at least have never really got into it and have preferred lore, questing and instances).

To give an idea of what I am looking for:

a relatedly active kin with players both at end-game and also levelling up; I am happy helping experienced players with Alts and new players and would want the same help for me
a kin that does instances and raids and like to get them done well but are not elitist/over serious nor obsessed with min/maxing; nor operate points-systems; nor play at unsociable times; there are some raids (OD, ToO) that I have not yet fully completed
players who like to complete all of the deeds from simple low-level slayer deeds to meta-deeds (e.g. need Thorog, Dungeons of DG) to the deeds associated with instances/raids (e.g. at T2)
players who like some of the fluff stuff too such as Festivals
help with larger group-size BBs

[NicoSela]

Name or character name: Ervith of Rivendell (lvl 39 elf Lore master on Riddermark)

Age: 20

Location: Sweden

Playstyle: Solo for the reason that I never have someone to play with.

MMO games you’ve played: RoM, Lotro

Why kinships should be interested in you: I'm a novice to the mmorpg genre, I've never experienced endgame or even a high level char. The main reason for that is because the lack of people to play with, and learn from. You should be interested in me because I'm willing to learn everything! And I will give back 100% to my kinship. I'm an adult and I act like one. I don't swear every other word and I don't argue over pointless stuff for the sake of arguing. I'm open minded and will always be willing to take advice from others and follow directions in groups.

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I'm looking for a kinship that is "beginner friendly" and willing to educate someone like me in "the right way" to play, whether i'ts raids, quests, farming or crafting.

I sincerely hope there's a kinship for me out there!

Best regards // Ervith of Rivendell

[Skillomite]

Your name, or character name and race (if known): Skillomite, Man, Hunter, currently lvl 77.
Age: (some kinships have real life age limits). 40ish
Preferred server(s), if any. (This is not needed, just for kinship info.): Silverlode
Location. (Timezone preferences if any, state/country, etc.): UK, so GMT afternoons and evenings.
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.): So far I've been solo. I'm a casual player, fairly time limited.
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 looking for similar people, mature as in attitude rather than age. Not into arguing or L33tspeak or oneupmanship. Happy to take advice and learn, that's one of the main reasons I'm looking, to slowly learn how to work in a team and casually RAID. Happy to help others and be helped myself sometimes.
What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I want a kinship that is fairly large with an active chat, helpful mature attitudes, with absolutely no pressure to level or have the right gear. Beginner friendly is a good phrase I just edited in from the post above, its a good description.

Hope you can help, this game is amazing as a solo player I can only imagine it's so much better played as a group.

[TheGeekGirl]

Your name, or character name and race (if known): AlleyKatt, human, champion, current lvl 27
Age: (some kinships have real life age limits): 37
Preferred server(s), if any. (This is not needed, just for kinship info.): Gladden
Location. (Timezone preferences if any, state/country, etc.): EST (U.S.)
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, groups
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 frequent player, enjoy helping others, not afraid to ask questions, love playing in groups and interacting with other players, and genuinely love LOTR
What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): Something casual, fun, active, mature, no pressures, pleasant people

[ObliviousOtter]

Character Name: Branway Level 47 (Captain/Woman), Dolfin Level 15 (Runekeeper/Elf), Tuphinwar Level 17 (Guardian/Elf), and Sanoris Level 23 (Warden/Woman)

Location: USA, Texas

Age: 21

Server: Crickhollow

Playstyle: I'm a big, big soloer who's mostly casual and always PvE. I'm F2P, too, which does have some drawbacks.

MMO Games You've Played: LOTRO and . . . Nope, 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'm mature, respectful, and know how to spell (most of the time). I also have no problem answering questions or playing mentor, when I'm qualified to do either of those things. I'm laid back and willing to learn. I also enjoy crafting, although I still have some room to grow in that area.

What kind of kinship you are looking for: I'm looking for a kinship that doesn't mind a late bloomer. Though my main is a level 47, I've never grouped before, or done any group content. This is mostly because I suspect I would be awful at it, which is hardly a ringing endorsement, but is the truth. I would like to learn how to group and handle group content well, so that in the future, I at least have the option to group up rather than go it solo. I would like a kin which all my alts could join, so it's easier to pool resources. I also want a kin that's still supportive of soloers. While I want to learn how to do group content, my main reason for wanting to join a kin are the social aspects. I'd still like to be able to solo most of the time, just with a little company.

If you're willing to overlook my less than stellar application and invite me to join your kin, I'd be most grateful and . . . realizing my list of requirements is longer than my list of helpful attributes, most surprised. Do it anyway, though. Pretty please!

[Yoteman]

Character Name: Mains right now : Hullis (human farmer/champion lvl 11, Slowtro playstyle), Khalzi (Gritty, Dwarf hunter, lvl 10, Immersion playstyle), Others--- Shalria (human burglar, lvl 16), Kaldregar (LM, lvl 41)

Location: USA / Midwest

Age: 47

Server: Laurelin

Playstyle: Lots of time solo but I love Mid to Heavy RP.

MMO Games You've Played: Lots of them. City of Heroes was my big game for a long time, Asheron's Call, WoW, Second Life, others... (Played on MUSHes before that!)

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?:I've come back to LOTRO after some time off. I'm a mature gamer with a healthy knowledge of proper roleplaying etiquette. In RL I'm a professional and understand the need for clear communication, timeliness and accountability. I try to bring these things to any group I'm with as well. I'm very creative, a writer, a voice actor and love great improv. roleplaying sessions. For a sense of my style check out my recent posting on the Laurelin forum board. It talks about how I'm trying to see if I can jump start a common farmer character with roleplay IN game and not through any story elements of my creation. Here's the link. Pretty tough but we'll see how it goes!

What kind of kinship are you looking for: I'm looking for a group of mature, creative folks that understand/tolerate immersion play and building characters from the ground up that have a range of events and happenings. I like the ideas of markets, musical gatherings, horse races and any other creative adventure! I love good RP as long as it moves things forward. I'm a very busy guy with a family so my play time is limited to some weekday evenings and weekend mornings before the family gets up and going. (The times I could attend an event on a Saturday or Friday night would be few indeed!)

Contact: Feel free to contact me through Hullis or Khalzi in-game. (They are my main chars right now.) I'll check PM's here but less often!

Thanks!!!

[Curuer_Bauglir]

I'm out of the kids room and can finally post here!

Your name, or character name and race (if known): Curueru Bauglir/Elf/Hunter
Age: 32
Preferred server: Crickhollow
Location. (Timezone preferences if any, state/country, etc.): Central Time Zone, USA
Playstyle: So far, I've played almost exclusively solo. I've grouped a few times with random people to complete some quests that they needed help with. I'm level 59 and currently working on deeding in Eriador before my VIP sub expires. I've never roleplayed or done PvP.
MMO games you’ve played: LOTRO...and that's the list
Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: Selflessness. I am constantly giving away free stuff. This is just a game to me. I will always be willing to help others. I'm a very mature, respectful individual and treat others accordingly.
What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): Maturity is most important to me. I enjoyed a good fart joke once upon a time, but those days are long behind me. Also, I would like to join a kinship with people who enjoy the lore of Arda. There is a reason why LOTRO is the only MMO I've ever played. I'm a pretty casual player, but I would like to learn more of the intricacies of the game from more experienced players. One day, I hope that I have enough experience to pay it forward.

[Damis7]

Your name, or character name: My name is ?ukasz, and I play as Ayen Hunter 34 lvl / Elenrod Warden 10 lvl

But I'm always willing to play and learn, extra bow / sword is always useful

[Tarwathiel]

Age: 28
Preferred server(s), if any. : brandywine
Location.: Eastern US

[station13]

Your name, or character name and race : Cheeseburgler (65 burg), Doctar (55 Cappy), Toots (50 LM), Raar (50 cappy), Soakheart (24 Mini).
Age: 45
Server : Gladden

What do you offer kinships?: I prefer to play and help people. I get bored just levelling up. right now I am sitting on my credits until folks need help in a specific area, at which time ill buy that pack. I would rather group and not level, than level most of the time. If this is a raiding kin I am willing to stick to any of the character I have and work them up if that would benefit the guild the most, but in all honesty I love the bug the most right now.
What kind of kinship you are looking for. : no more than 100 member if possible. I want to raid , if possible, but in all honesty the groups and small stuff are more important. Lets put the kin back in kinship That said, I do prefer a kin that has a few people online at all hours of the day. I don't want to feel alone.

[AddisonH]

Your name, or character name and race (if known): My name is Addison and I don't have a character on servers yet.

So, I'd love to group up with friends if that's possible as a level 1. PvE, RAIDS, Casual, RP, I'd love to try crafting.
MMO games you’ve played: I've played just about every single MMORPG in the market.
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 very sweet and friendly guy. I'm loyal and respectful.

[AndiraelKorvi]

I have two characters looking for two different kinships.

Name: Fynndryn, level 95 Champion/Explorer, Man of Rohan. (Will be getting him to cap soonish).

Caedred, level 33 Burglar/Tinker, Man of Rohan (In my mind, Caed is Fynn's younger brother, who fled home after being framed as a horse-thief. Fynn is held in much higher esteem and is the eldest son of the household as well, so has always been the responsible one. His mother's dying wish was that he find Caedred, so he's currently searching for him and aiding the rest of Middle-earth while he's at it. Caedred, on the other hand, is finally making his way homeward, perhaps to clear his name at last.)

Age: 27
Server: Landroval

Location: Portland, OR...so Pacific Standard Time.

Playstyle: Varied. I do a lot of soloing, but would love to be able to do more group stuff. I am interested in RP as well, but not just standing around the Pony talking all the time. Both characters are maxed out in their respective crafts (Caed is still working on mastery for West cook, but will soon be done) and I enjoy crafting for people. I have never done PvP on my Freeps, but I have a r6 (if I remember, it's been awhile) Warg.

MMO games you’ve played: I played Final Fantasy: A Realm Reborn for a bit when it came out, but mostly just LOTRO.

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: I am helpful and interested in a more immersive gaming experience, albeit not to the exclusion of having fun and playing the game as well.

What kind of kinship you are looking for:

For Fynndryn, I am looking for a Rohirric RP kinship. All Men/Women of Rohan, but I don't want to RP exclusively in Rohan, I want something that comes up with reasons to travel the world and RP while we're at it, maybe finish some deeds, etc.

For Caedred, I'm looking for on level RP companions to journey through the game with (Caed is technically in a kinship already, but he's the only member, so...perhaps there's an existing group he can join instead). Preferably Men, of any region, and perhaps a few of other races. Maybe a trading or merchants guild or something like that?


My only nitpicks with regard to RP are that there be no Hobbits in the kins (as they wouldn't be farther east than Bree, maybe Forsaken Inn-- so RPing with them in the Shire would be fine, of course) and that if and Elf or Dwarf or two is there, a reasonable explanation is provided. I'm not a lore######, but it just makes the most sense for the kins I'm seeking to be mostly race of Men. I would like it true to lore to an extent, but recognize there are aspects of the game that make that difficult (I'm not one of those 'eats 3 times a day', no porting or swift travel, has to walk (not run) everywhere, etc. people because I simply wouldn't have the patience for it lol) I do prefer that things like outfits and steeds look more like stuff you'd be out traveling in and not blanket horses and fancy elaborately colored robes (unless there is a specific explanation behind your character).

So send me a message in game. I play Caedred a bit more at the moment. I also have a 100 LM, Andithael, you can inform as well.

[BalrogofFire]

Your name, or character name and race (if known): Balrliman
Age: (some kinships have real life age limits) 26
Preferred server(s), if any. (This is not needed, just for kinship info.): Silverlode

Hello everyone! My name is Kyler. As the title above says, I am a new to LOTRO and am looking for a helpful and close knit Kinship to call home.
I have been an avid Lord of the Rings fan since I was about 8-9 years old. I've read from Hobbit-Return of the King three times each and have watched every movie in blue ray extended version countless times Needless to say, I love Middle Earth. I bought LOTRO on launch day but was never able to truly get into it. I love being able to group up through MMOs or atleast talk to a group of friends while playing. For some reason, every time I logged on to play I couldn't really get the experience I was looking for. This past week I moved all the way to Alaska and currently have a TON of free time on my hands. So I decided I really want to buckle down, find a good kinship, and play this game! If any Kins out there are willing to recruit a Middle Earth fanatic and veteran MMO player please do not hesitate to post here! ( I'll include a little information below for anyone interested ). Thanks guys and happy hunting!!

I've been playing MMOs for 9 years now. I have extensive experience in both being an officer of guilds and also a years experience of being a Guild Master. I'm easy to get along with in game and love to have fun and enjoy the game. But I also know when to take things seriously, whether it be in a raid or going over "guild matters". My schedule is fully open right now and I will be playing all day tomorrow. Like I said above, please post here if you are willing to pick up a player! Thanks again guys.

Hey kylerhooper,

I responded to your thread. Swords of Eönwë is a new kinship recruiting on Brandywine. We've got a focus on leveling and crafting, and possibly end-game content if we expand to that capacity in the future.

So, after having returned to the game, years after the CM migration, I find myself all subscribed up again and looking for a friendly Kin

My in game name is Novae, a hunter on the Eldar server. Im happy to join voice comms (in game, TS, vent, mumble) 18+, check, and I am helpful and industrious to all who need me.

Im very much a completionist, so am happy to help others with runs of content I dont need myself to up deeds and acheivments.

Ideally, I would like to join a Kin that often has raids / instances / group play going on. My best memories from Shadows of Angmar --> Mirkwood are of healing my kin in the raids of the time - Rift, DN, DG all ran to completion on a veriety of classes. I am usually availble in UK prime time - 7-11gmt, depending on when content would be run most often.

Preferably, I would like to be a part of a kin that trusts their members, and is happy to have a fair loot mechanic (assuming this is still a relavent point) - had bad experiances since with other MMO groups using point systems, and then locking out the new players untill the officers are all decked out.

I am also happy to level an alt specifically to fill a needed class slot, and will happily outfit kin members with any food/scrolls/hope pots etc that may be needed.

Looking forward to finding a new home
