[d3v0ut]

Your name, or character name and race (if known): Ferairin, Man Hunter lvl 30
Age: 24
Preferred server(s), if any. (This is not needed, just for kinship info.): Evernight
Location. (Timezone preferences if any, state/country, etc.): UK (BST)
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 as of now, why i'm looking for a kin
MMO games you’ve played: DCUO, WoW, LoTR:O, ESO, Ultima Online
Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: I'm always keen on helping others when and where possible, even if that may be less so at the moment due to my current level i'll do what I can
What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): Well, being a father of a lively toddler and working 3 nights a week i'm a casual player. I'm looking to meet a bunch of friendly new people with which I can do some instances (these things are amazingly difficult solo :P), quests and just generally have a nice chilled time with.

[Ranita]

Character name: Briarwisp is the name by which I am known, however, Rowena Lirulin is my given name.

Age: 23

Server: Landroval

Location: North America, Mountain time.

Playstyle: I am a serious roleplayer who has mostly done solo pve, but my hope is that I can learn the other aspects of the game like pvp, raids, end game, etc.

MMO games I've played: SWTOR, ESO, D&D, and GW2.

Why choose me: Here is a little information to help you decide. I am a returning player after a five year hiatus and I still think LOTRO is the best game out there. I chat IC unless the situation calls for OOC chat. Briarwisp is currently the only character I play and she is level 22. As Briarwisp I am a captain who practices the Historian vocation, something I am very dedicated to learning and using to benefit those I meet in my travels. My backstory is this; My mother was born a maiden of Rohan and my father was a Northern ranger. They met amidst the chaos of a goblin raid and my father stayed only long enough to see my mother safe before he was called back to his kin and his duties. She never saw him again. My mother died when I was eleven, the victim of illness, but before she left us she made my aunt promise to find my father and take me to him. Our search brought us to Bree, where we settled. Unable to find my father I grew up as a farmhand, and now I continue to search doing whatever the Rangers will hire me for. I may be quiet and watchful, but my Rohirran heart is full of fire when you get to know me.

What I am looking for: I am hoping to find a roleplay centered Kinship, with a ranking system that is story (and lore appropriately) driven, I love a good cause and organic in character interaction. I want the more practical aspects of the game as well, like raids, pvp, crafting, etc. though I am somewhat inexperienced in these areas, I make up for it with confused enthusiasm. I also would like a respectful atmosphere, I do not do scandal or drama (but a good conflict in character is always fun). The LOTRO community is already great, I hope to find a home within it that can provide an even richer experience.

Find me: Private message or send a tell to Briarwisp in game, and if I am not online, send a letter.

[Jdkeepsmiling]

Azoradan, Elf Hunter, Lvl 56 (trying to make it out of Moria alive)

36 Year Old

Brandywine

EST - United States, although I tend to play more in CST and PST times

I like to do small fellowship stuff, whether questing together, completing deeds or skirmishes. Never really got into the raids, but am open.

Eve Online is my main MMO, still active there. Have played many others.

I am mainly interested in a Kin so I can fully experience what the game has to offer and have fun together. I also need some help as I am returning to the game after a year or two absence. I am looking for large laid back group, hopefully very active in my TZ, so that people will always want to do stuff together. I have kids, and am not on every night, although I can usually make sure to be there if something important is going down.


Please either PM here or find me in game!

[jamie52]

I am just getting back into the game after several years out. I have several toons in the 60's range but honestly didn't remember how to play them well enough. I started a lvl 44 Hunter named Treemana and getting back into the swing of things. I am mostlyl PVE oriented and like to quest with others and raid. Most any group events. I enjoy helping others to lvl up also. I enjoy a peaceful kin with a TS of Discord, etc where we can talk at times. I don't try to cause problems and tend to be very cooperative. At 62, that's what you do, lol. Pls let me know if I fit with your kin. I am on the Landroval server and have just been playing on Treemana if you care to catch me in game or send mail.

[Sodall]

Hello everyone,

I am brand new to Lotro but I have two decades of MMO experience (from EQ to Wow). I actually played several years ago but a friend stopped so I went back to WoW. I am looking for a mature, casual, active guild. My Captain is level 31. I have actually wanted to start playing this game for a while but the wife wanted to stick to WoW. Well I wasn't having any fun so I told her I will be playing Lotro and she can play WoW. I'm still working on her though, she has Lotro installed now.

A little about me. I am in my 50's and live in the EST zone. I play MMO's to wind down and play almost every night. I am quiet at times so there are times that I miss conversations, tells, hits on the hit, screaming, and fire. I am helpful when I can be and I require very little maintenance aside from the occasional question. This might be a two for one deal if my wife starts playing.

EDIT: Because I forgot to add my server (Arkenstone).

[Hirasen]

Character name: I go by many, mainly Belialos and Hirasen at the moment

Age: 33

Server: Landroval

Location: North America, EST

Playstyle: I would love to get back into RP (I was huge into it in EQ). However I love reading the stories, working on the different sub quests for coints and just exploring

MMO games I've played: ESO, WoW, EQ, EQ2, SWTOR (I know my way around an MMO - just not around the world of LotR)

Why choose me: I do try to be helpful even when I don't know the answer to a question and I like to help contribute to the guild and help with events!

What I am looking for: Currently I want to find a kinship for good conversation, exploration, and who are okay with the fact that I don't know what I want to be when I grow up (I like alts!) Additionally while I don't mind Discord, I'm not a voice user, I prefer the guild chat to be lively and I'm a typer vs. a talker. I'm a casual player and I want a group who is the same

Find me: Can send either Belialos or Hirasen a message in game

[nielo5]

Name: Ewfledred | Man, Female, Rohan
Age: 20
Server: Laurelin
Location: Central Europe.
Playstyle: RP
MMO games you’ve played: Too many to count.
Why kinships should be interested in you: Good with RP, good at tanking (new at tanking in lotro but can't be much harder compared to other games :P)
What kind of kinship you are looking for: Crafting/RP

[Harbaggins]

Good Morning. Harblack here and I am looking for an Arkenstone kinship. Before I spew out the requested speeds and feeds let me tell you about me.

I am looking for what everyone asks for - a low pressure laid back friendly kinship. Does anyone seek out a drama-fest full of anger and vitriol? I hope not. At least not in this game.

My relationship with LOTRO is fractured. I‘ve been playing on and off for 6 or 7 years I jump in, I love it. I level a toon to 60 or 70 and I get pulled away from it. Sometimes I lose interest in a class and/or crafting profession, other times life intercedes (Wifey, Kids, Family, Work etc) and once I get pulled away it’s hard to come back. So months go buy until I pop back in.

The last time I was into it, leveled by Guard to ~ 70 or 80 and the server amalgamation happened and the Kin ‘Return of the elves’ broke-up when the server did. That was totally on me. I could have landed on my feet but I didn’t come back for ~ 6 months.

I’ve made some serious changes in my life and I am hoping this doesn’t happen again.

Anyway – I’m back and looking for some friendly Kinnies.

My Stats:
I am Rich. Not $$, just Rich. In forums that’s Harblack, In Game HAR-Something. I am Male however HAR’s are always female. Because, Reasons. ?
Age: Born in the 60’s. Barely.

Server is Arkenstone.

Location. EST. Toronto area in the great ‘state’ of Ontario, Canuckistan. How’s it going eh?

Playstyle = Solo – the Kinship mission (should you accept it) is to get me A) Grouping, B) instances. Don’t even talk about C Raiding = I have an inherent fear of letting peeps down.

MMO games I've played: D&D Online and LOTRO, that’s mostly it unless you go back 20 years – and that’s all a blur.

Why kinships should be interested in me? I am friendly, chatty and will drop everything to join or help a group as long as I have the time and a toon at the right level. I am in the IT field (29 years at the same IT company) and can often have advice with regards to HW specs speeds and feeds. My gaming back-ground started with Pen &Paper D&D in the 80’s. If you want to reminisce I can wax nostalgic like a boss.

What kind of kinship am I looking for? I hope there’s an age-appropriate, friendly kinship that can help me keep me exploring more of this beautiful game. Also one that won’t be upset if I disappear for a week at a time. Game times varied – Mon-Friday evenings, weekends anytime.

That’s all I got. Harblack – roger and out.

[EliciaVanWren]

Your name, or character name and race (if known): Elicia or Cossette Shintozaki, prefer elves or human avatars, class is whatever is most useful for the kinship.
Age: 28
Preferred server(s), if any.: one that supports Asian time zones.
Location. (Timezone preferences if any, state/country, etc.): US or Prefered Japanese time zone friendly
Play style. (Solo, group, PvE, PvP, RAIDs, casual, hardcore, end-game, RP, no RP, time limited, crafter: I am a veteran of playing LOTRO for like 8 years, I play mostly solo, only because everywhere I have gone the kinships I have joined go silent to me, I love doing everything from crafting, group play, instances, and assisting other players, I would like to RP as well, if there are people who want to do that.
MMO games you’ve played: DCUO, Dungeons & Dragons Online, Phantasy Star 2 Online, and LOTRO.
Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: I'm always keen on helping others when and where possible, even if that may be less so at the moment due to my current level i'll do what I can, I happily recruit, I craft for people, and assist in level instances or raids, And I want to rp if possible.
What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I want an active kinship, where people are online a lot and doing anything, at least chatting so I know they are there. If they offer people getting involved a lot that would be good. But the most important thing I am looking for is Japanese and Asian friends to talk with and team up with.
*This took a long time to translate to English from Japanese, so I hope everything is correct, any kinships or server groups that can or support Japanese speaking and writing players feel free to respond please and thank you.*

[dafidil]

several toons Dafidil lvl 105 Warden, Gilaladuil lvl 100 Minstrel, Dafolas Lvl 83 + hunter, I'm a mature player (read old bugger) and although I've played for serval years off and on have not done many raids etc, looking for an active kin that playes in UK time happy to RP but not essential. Playing Dafolas (hunter at the moment so if any use PM me on that character. And a good morning to everyone.

[Lucas92]

Hi
I'm Lucas age 25,

looking for Kinship in game , on Arkenstone server , I'm new to lotro and its kind of lonely game XD so would love to play with some more people

[DonTheMage]

Returning player. Four + years gone.

Character name: Several, most named after breweries. ;-) Mostly playing on Lagunitas or Minhas.

Age: Gulp, um, old. AARP-eligible. LI.

Server: Crickhollow, but will move at least one character over if needed. Or will re-roll until the next expansion comes and I get my free-leveling token.

Location: North America, EST

Playstyle: Explorer, Quester, Raider.

MMO games I've played: Asheron's Call, to AC2, to WoW to here, back to WoW, and now back to here. ;-)

Why choose me: I'm entertaining, actually useful in group play, will roll a tank when needed, or DPS to your heart's content. I'm usually an alt-o-holic more than an alcoholic, but the lines are blurry. I do have reading glasses though. I think.

What I am looking for: People who appreciate a bad dad joke, while enjoying leveling a character, and will (eventually) run end game content without too much drama. All while I'm likely to be nursing an adult beverage.

Find me: PM me here, or ping me on one of the characters above in Crickhollow. But, PMing me here is likely best! I can do Skype, Discord or Vent too!

[Gingersnapp]

Hi, ive been gone for a couple of years and came back just this week, and found my characters. Id like to get into the same kinship if they are still around. I believe the name was "friends of frodo" or something like that?

are they still around? If so, What server are they on?

Any Help would be much appreciated.

[soultaker827]

name: Many are my names in many servers.

age: 23

preferred servers: Home is now at Crickhollow, but I've kinda been poking around Laurelin lately. I'm very willing to move for the right kinship.

location: USA, EST. I play mostly at night and in the morning.

playstyle: I've always played solo, but I want to try some group and roleplay. Casual. No PvP, no end-game, I still don't have Helm's Deep, l o l

MMO games you've played: a little WoW and ESO, didn't like either of them. LotRO is my first and only love

why kinships should be interested in you: I'm an easygoing kind of player. You ever need help, just call on me and I'll be there. I know the lore pretty well and I'm wild about LotR and the Silmarillion. Also, I LOVE tanking. Can't say whether I'm great at it, since my experience is mostly solo, but, by Eru, I will do it. Also experienced as a Hunter. I'm new to Rune-keeper, but I play that one too.

what kind of kinship you are looking for: laid-back people who aren't gonna stress me out and are patient - I'm not new to the game, but I am new to the whole interacting-with-other-players thing. I'd like to try roleplaying, but I'm not dead-set on it. If you have a themed kinship - Hobbits, Lossoth, lady characters, Tom Bombadil fans, Dwarves with emo hair, whatever, the possibilities are endless - that might be fun, too. PM me and let me know what you got.

[HunterGreen]

Three of us that played LOTRO back in the day are coming back to it and have started over together on Laurelin. Seeking a primarily social kinship to have someone to talk to, and maybe trade with, during questing and leveling up. Somewhere that you can ask questions or find someone who can craft you something, and where you can also help other people out and craft stuff for them from time to time.

We may well get into RP to varying extents after a bit, and we wouldn't mind a kinship that does that too, but we don't want a kinship that's primarily focused on RP, and particularly on a specific kind of RP. (I may be joining one of those on another character, but not yet.) We're not avid raiders but it wouldn't be bad if this gave us some chance to get into that too, as long as it wasn't the be-all-end-all.

We'd like that 'sweet spot' of a kinship big enough that there's someone around, but not so big that we feel like we got recruited by cattle car. (A couple of very forward kinships have already tried to recruit us, including one who's hit me with the same tell five times in two days, and I'm definitely put off by that.)

If you know the Golden Mallorn or Concerning Hobbits on Landroval, we'd like to find the Laurelin equivalents in terms of the tone, size, and focus.

[DickyD]

I came back a few days ago after a ~5 year break- from Vilya server- and have jumped in Crickhollow. If any Kin from Vilya Southern Comfort are still around, I'd love to know.


Otherwise:

I am currently on crickhollow server. I am old enough to have watched the first moon landing, barely

I am east coast USA atm, my hours can be a little weird.

I am a fairly veteran MMO player, mostly PvP like DaoC, World of Tanks, World of warships. I have been in some very competitive clans/teams

Why PVE and lotro for me? a lot more relaxing at times then PvP. I love Tolkein since a teen. Farmer Giles of ham is one of my all time favorites to read to the kids. Named several pets 'bombadil' going back to the 80's.

My preferred style of play? Not crazy serious, but not head in the sand either. I want to understand the mechanics, play smart, but have fun.

Kinships looking for players that can be competent, follow caller directions and be team players would probably find me a fit

I prefer an active kinship with above average to large population that HAS Teamspeak ( or possibly discord...)

feel free to mail/msg me in game as Bullvye-1, Delothus or Romandacil, or through this board.
