Looking for a Kinship? Post here.

[Viquire]

Since the transfers I find myself in an awkward situation.

I am a nearly fifty (later this year) old gamer who has played LoTRO off and on since the original Beta. I have many hours in UO since 98 and love all aspects of group play, as well as solo questing for the feel of the story. Happy to help younger or less experienced gamers learn their traits or a playstyle that conforms to character selection and group needs. Most comfortable in a streaming voice data environment.

I have four characters on Silver that still need a home. Lvl 79 Cappy, and then Lore Master, Minstril, and Champion all in the low thirties. I also have a starter Guardian on Gladden.

Optimally, I would like to reunite with old guildmates (Warsong Nation), or find a new group that is of similar calibur and focus (Some, non mandatory, pvmp and regular opportunities for grouping at most levels, end game and, bringing along newer players) If the group seems to be about enjoying the game I am likely to fit in nicely.

I do PvP, Group, solo questing, and instanced play, and don't mind crafting.

Please contact via PM with info about your group or Nation as the case may be.

[Mindigon]

Hi everyone.

I am looking for an active kinship, where I can find fellow members all around Middle Earth so we can do quests etc. together.

I am playing without using money, so things are not so advanced/fancy. I have unlocked Evendim and North Downs so far, and am now saving points for Trollshaws.
I am not a steady/regular player myself, but when I find the time to play I spend considerable time on it in one go. Mostly I am a loner, but I also enjoy doing quests together.
I am generally working on quests, but I also keep track of the book of deeds to cross some things off that list, esp. for points.

Some info about my character in Gwahair:
- name: Nertherin
- female
- elf
- lvl 40
- hunter
- ranger (job)

Hope to be gaming with some of you guys together soon.

Bye, Mindigon

[cityscape]

Your name, or character name and race: My real name is Chels, and my character is an Elf Hunter, Ivrel.

Age: 20

Preferred server(s), if any: Arkenstone

Location: Malaysia, GMT +8

Playstyle: I'm largely a solo player, but I do understand that some of the really fun content can only be done in groups, which I've never tried/done before! It'd be interesting to learn group battle strategies c: I'm a low-key completionist of sorts (haha!) so I love finishing deeds/quests, and I do enjoy sightseeing and exploring the world. The lore and immersive experience is the best part for me! I'm not much of a crafter at the moment, but I do intend to get back to it someday because I'm terribly behind on it. I'm a very relaxed kind of player, and I do in-game things at my own pace.

MMO games you’ve played: None so far.

Why kinships should be interested in you: I'm a pleasant and mature person - I generally get along well with people and have been in my fair share of forum groups (for other fandoms). I'm the kind of person who will help you if I can! As for skills, I've been writing pretty much all my life - anything from content to news to creative fiction - so I could contribute to website material, if needed. I've also just started learning how to code.

What kind of kinship you are looking for: Ideally, I'd love to be with a laid-back group who're okay with casual game-playing hours and understand real life commitments do get in the way. A kin that doesn't pressure its members to be chatty all the time or take part in every single group activity, seeing as I still do largely enjoy solo gameplay. I'd also love being with a kin who appreciates the beautiful universe Tolkien has crafted; I'm a huge, huge fan! :') Kin size is not an issue for me, as long as it's a tight-knit and friendly community.


Looking forward to hear from any kins that think I fit the bill! If you'd just like to get to know me first before extending an invitation, I'd be more than happy to oblige, just drop me a message. Thank you for reading!

Age: 60+
Preferred server(s), if any. (This is not needed, just for kinship info.): Arkenstone
Location. (Timezone preferences if any, state/country, etc.):CT, USA, EST
Playstyle. : Solo, group, PvE, RAIDs, casual, RP, crafter
MMO games you’ve played:WOW, Pathfinder Online
Why kinships should be interested in you. : Long time tabletop RPGer (>30 yrs); experienced; enjoy benefits of Kinship; Helpful to new players
What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I tend to be a jack-of-all-trades, so that I can gear up new/lower level players, and help them learn the game system, even as I am learning it.

[Talwulf]

Your name, or character name and race: 2 characters that I'm looking to bring into a kinship; Thorkatla, 53 CPT; Nemirthel, 20 RK
Age: 21
Preferred server(s), if any.: Arkenstone.
Location.: I'm on Mountain time (GMT -7).
Playstyle.: I've mostly played solo but I'm looking to get into group PVE content, particularly instances and eventually raids. I'm looking for a relatively casual kinship as I don't have lots of time (I usually have several hours free on the weekend, but during the week I can't be on every day and not for long when I can). I also craft, but I'm still working on getting my crafting levels up.
MMO games you’ve played: STO, SWTOR. Currently I only play LOTRO.
Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: I've been playing the game for 5 years (it took me a while to figure out what I wanted to play, hence the low levels), so I'm pretty familiar with the game (except instances) up through Moria. This means I can help out new players, which I'm always willing to do. I'm friendly and always willing to help other players out as long as I have the ability to do so.
What kind of kinship you are looking for.: I'm looking for a kinship where I can start getting involved in group content and that is LGBT friendly. I'm not interested in becoming a hardcore raider because I play the game for fun and don't want it to add stress to my life. However, I do want a kinship where I can learn to run instances and raids as I find them enjoyable when people aren't overly serious about it.

MMO games you’ve played: Where should I start? Most, if not all of them. Mostly SWG, WoW, EQ/EQ2, SWTOR, 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 a mature adult with a level head, I am very helpful and knowledgeable (although I am a bit of touch with LotRO at the moment since I have not played in a couple years)

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I am looking for a kinship that is run by adults and has adult members. I am not interested in playing with a bunch of teenagers with no self control and no sense of what it means to be mature. I prefer to be in a well established kinship that has been around for more then a month.

Please send me a whisper in game before inviting to a kinship, any blind invites will automatically be rejected.

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player.

When it was active I used to help out lower levels and was able to give advice on certain things.
What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): casual mostly as I can only really be active for half the year as university takes priority the other half. Looking for some end-gane players who can provide advice about that aspect of the game as in the grand scheme of things I am still pretty new to this stage of the game and I am aware there is a lot to learn to better my character. I play solo most of the time but would be happy to play with others every now and then.

[Agron5]

Well, my Husband and I transferred over from Elendilmir to Gladden with our kin and now the kins dead and the leader doesn't log in. Bummer...

so now we are looking for a laid back, lively kin of adult players. We don't care if we have to transfer again, more importantly we just want to find the right kin.

What we are looking for:
A lively kin that does group content of all levels, NOT just end game, and has fun when running! Yes we take our roles in a group serious but we are hardly leetist. We game to have fun, not stress, scream/get screamed at and boot people (or get booted)
A kin that doesn't have requirements like "you have to log in at least once a week or you get booted" Um...we have super busy lives, we can't commit to time constraints....we log on when we can.
A kin with a sense of humor! We like to joke around and can get pretty feisty at times. We are too old to be censored during our down time. If you can't handle some off color humor and occasional cursing...we are def not good for you.
Helpful and patient people who actually answer questions (sarcasm in the answer is more than welcomed as long as there IS in fact an answer)

What we offer:
We have lots of toons between us, mostly in their 80s and 90s...each have a 100. We do have quite a few that craft. We have no problem playing a toon thats needed since we love all that we have.
We are helpful when we can be, again, our time in game is sadly limited but we are always there to help with anything when we are on.
A sense of humor!
Loyalty

I have been playing lotro on and off for 8 years. I have been an officer is some kins and led others. I LOVED the days of running instances, from farming BG for the Captains Arm (I still have it in my inventory!) or CD for Helchgam's Slime (when it was actually a challenge to get) to the days of running each Moria instance for the specific gear that instance dropped. (I miss the old days lol) Sad to say that after an extended absence, I have still not quite got my groove back. All the changes STILL have me thrown, but I'm working on it. My husband is only about 3 years in. The last time I ran group content was when the Mirkwood expansion was released. I miss group play (heh). Worse still my husband has very little experience with the group content and I REALLY want him to see/experience what he's missing!

We are EST in the US

If you think we may be a good fit with your kin, please send a message

Thanks

What kind of kinship are you looking for:

[Kentonium90]

HI All,

Just hopping back into game after a long absence, to find that my old kinship has been disbanded (we were on Meneldor); trying to find my old friends. Anyone know if Reaper of Gondor (aka Tarrenlas), Yaru (aka Arue), Trelline (aka Treline, Trelina), or Jerimo are still playing and which server they ended up on?

I am a lvl 100 rune keeper named Glomier. Would love to find my friends!

[Meynard1]

I'm back after a small absence period. Looking for a kinship with caps at a certain level (50 preffered or 75) and does the raids weekly or bi-weekly. I got a lot of 105s and low levels and am interested in doing old content on level once again. Server not important. Hit me up in PM or here.

[Coolhandlukeboy]

Your name: Beorynwulf, warden level 102 (will be 105 soon enough)
Age: 35
Server: Gladden
Location: EST, Eastern USA
Playstyle: I like to play because I like the game. I don't want to just grind. I like running the older content just as much as the new content and doing instances for fun/challenge. Trying to get into PvMP too, or Freeping as I am currently VIP.
MMO games you’ve played: ESO, FFXIV, LOTRO for five years
About me: I am getting back into the game, but I trained my warden well, and look to tank as warden if possible, or dps if not. Although I am just getting back into the game, I know my gambits well and am working on getting better gear
What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I'm a teacher and look for having a kin that is mostly mature individuals (I game to get away from that sort of drama). I am friendly, and so I would like to find friendly people willing to talk to each other and who are active in the game, not just doing everything solo. Want to run at least the featured instances once a week as a very bare minimum.

[Tane]

Hi,
My name ( in-game) is Wod and my buddy, Zathro, and I are looking for a kinship to join. We are both human characters, I am a Minstrel, Zath is a Captain. We have been gaming for >30 years. Our server is Arkenstone. We have been playing LOTRO casually for about 7 years together. Prior to the big server migration we were in a small, casual kinship which dispersed among the new servers.

We play once or twice a week for a few hours each session, but are willing to push for a good run. We would like a helpful guild that can handle casual players. We would like one large enough so there are always players at our level (currently ~57) so we can go into instances together and have it be a challenge. Obviously we are not power leveling, and prefer to enjoy the content and like a good challenge. Zath likes crafting a lot. He is a weaponsmith. I try to keep my skills up, I am a woodworker.
I am Eastern TZ, Zath is Central TZ.

We played at the raiding level in WoW for a number of years, but were not hardcore.

We like to be helpful to our kinship members and will take time to help others.

Would love to hear via in-game mail from any kinships interested and are willing to set up a time for an interview or whatever process your kinship uses.

Thank you,
Wod

[kalieria]

Your name, or character name and race: Shawn // Yaut - Man Warden - 21

Age: 28

Preferred server(s), if any: I am currently on Brandywine, but open to others

Location: CST, Illinois

Playstyle: I enjoy group and instance play. I've raided in most MMO's. I've never really gotten into PVP in any game.

MMO games you’ve played: Pretty much everything aside from Tabula Rasa and Star Trek. Primary ones have been Everquest, FFXI / FFXIV, WOW, Rift

Why kinships should be interested in you: I'm not new to MMO's, I've been playing them for about 14 years at this point. I enjoy the playstyle, the challenges, rewards, etc. I can be quiet when I don't know people but I enjoy making friendships with guild/kinmates. I don't like jumping around between guilds. I've played Lotro before however never really got to a point where I was able to accomplish anything. Some things have changed since I last played so I restarted a character to relearn everything.

What kind of kinship you are looking for: I'm just looking for an active friendly kinship at the moment. One that does instances together fairly often would be best. I never got a chance to do many leveling instances before while playing Lotro so if there's a lot of alts that run them that would be even better. I'm working on leveling but also trying to do most zone deeds so I'm not power leveling to 105.

[Taco_Dwarf]

Hello, this is my first post on these forums. I’m looking for a mature, casual, social kinship. I just started playing last month but I am totally hooked. Love this game to death. The lore and story lines are wonderful. I may be new to this game but I am not new to MMOs or Tolkien Lore. I’ve seen all the LOTR and Hobbit movies and love them. I’m old, real old, ancient by gamer standards probably. I just got my AARP card, so that gives you a clue. At this point in my MMO career, I don’t really PvP or Raid really. I know, I know, it’s all about end game for most people but for me, when I have time to play, I use it to relax and get away from the world and maybe socialize. I love crafting, it’s a priority to me. I dabble in AH selling and do an instance now and then. Oh, and fishing, a game has to have fishing. I’m terrible at it in real life, so I make up for it online I mainly love the scenery and the lore and even role play a bit, but its not one of my strong points. I go by “Taco” on-line(that name was taken, both in game and in forum, maybe I should go by something else LOL). I started my on-line gaming career with a text based game called Dragon Gate. I think I played that for a couple of years then I played UO from 98 until about 2006, then WoW from then to 2013. Have been on Hiatus for a couple of years but have come back to try this wonderful game, unfortunately I heard rumors it’s in it’s twilight. But, I guess I will enjoy it while it lasts. I have made a half a dozen characters on Crick hollow server to try different races and classes, yes, I’m an Altaholic. LOL Lot’s of invitations from people wanting me to join there guild(Kin) but just like when people do that for parties(fellow), I don’t usually join, because I like to know what it is I'm joining and going to undertake before “I dive on in” TM. It’s like, “who are you, and what do want?”.You should introduce you're self first and explain what it is you need of me. I am located in the eastern US. I am usually in/out(I go in and out a lot if I have chores to do or things come up)game from 10am until around 7pm EST(because I work nights right now). I enjoy questing/instancing in a group, if I know what I’m doing. I don’t like the pressure of being the main healer or tank any more unless it’s with experienced people and it’s not a crazy hard objective. Like I said, I love to craft and don’t mind at all getting my own Mats. I’m not asking for items or in-game currency, just friendly banter and fun experience. I’m not a good writer, as you see the above text could be broken into several paragraphs probably. See, I’m more of a numbers person then a artsy/writer type. I took Calculus in College. That’s why I knew exactly what price to post things at auction and what number each stat and rating had on each piece of gear to be in order to compete in raids or how to calculate which moves and which spells would be best against each class in PvP. Yes, on my old games I did have characters that had top tier equipment and did top tier raids and even dabbled in Pvp but those days are behind me. I don’t need to work that hard and don’t need the stress any more. I like the fact that this game has housing, reminds me of UO. But, it’s instanced which is good and bad and a little pricey and not really needed as much. I like the shared storage and can get mounts early but don’t like the have to pay real money to get everything gimic. But I guess that’s how most MMOs are now-a days, free to play, pay to win. I want to try a Beorning a Warden or Rune-keep(Oh yea, I played Runescape for a couple of years several years ago too, I forgot about that.) but have already blown though my budget my wife will allow me to spend on on-line games this month. I maybe old, but I’m not Wilford Brimley, but I’m not Charlie Sheen either, I’m somewhere in-between I guess.

[jdg98]

Hi, I'm a returning player after several years so I'm starting from zero. I'm a dwarf champion, name's Hiliglosi in Crickhollow. I'm looking for a casual kinship with members that like to play together now and again. I'm not a hardcore player so I don't play every day or so, but want the chance to socialize when I do since I think it's the best way to play the game. Should mention that I'm not spending any money in the game.
Thanks and hope to see more people in-game.
