Looking for a Kinship? Post here.

[HagarTheHorrible]

Character name and race: Rhank - man champion (23) on Silverlode
Age: 40 - yes the big four oh!
Location: Pacific Time - normally early morning (4-7AM) and weekends. Very little if no play after 7-8PM due to real life commitments although there can be exceptions based on planning.
Playstyle: Solo, group, crafting, wondering, casual but serious when the need be. I Raided a few times and found the intensity exciting but wouldn't want to do it everyday.
MMO games you’ve played: WoW and EVE online.

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: I don't know since I've never been a member of any form of Kinship before. I am helpful person by nature and don't mind puting in the the effort. I am a studious, observant, rational, effective, helpful, careful, mature, considerate, and obliging person.

What kind of kinship you are looking for: Something that is casual by nature but serious when the need arises. A kinship where I feel that I could help out and receive help as well. A place where I feel we "knit". My gravest concern is that I wouldn't fit since this is new to me but I'm mature enough to accept critisism and understand it will take some time and effort before friends are made. I don't mind a little RP as it can be fun but become bored by extreme RPing.

My playstyle:
Questing - I usually read all of the quests written works excepting for those - run here - run there or gather 10 warg hides quests (I skipped the water carrying quests). I like to be efficient and effective too but will alway stop to help someone out.
Crafting - I normally reserve a few hours to gathering ingredients and then "grind away at it". I find the mining etc to be a little boring but view it as a necessary evil and I get excited about the weapons to be made. I think crafting adds value to the game although it can be frustrating (if there is one thing that will make me leave LotRO it will be the hard to soft metal's spawn rates).
Roaming - Sometimes I just gather my things and decide to visit a place I've never been seeing what adventures I could have along the way. A relaxed way to enjoy the various scenery and options.

Regarding the Lore: In my early teens I read the Hobit followed by all the Rings books and a few others. I have also seen the movies - both old and new.

Thanks for reading and I hope to hear from you.

Your name, or character name and race (if known): Kyrlin (but considering a new character)
Age: a youthful 40
Preferred server(s), if any.: Meneldor but would consider switching
Location.: EST, East Coast, US, New England
Playstyle: Light RP and casual banter / comedy is good, Tolkein fan since the late 70's, mature but not stodgy, respectful, group play preferred; could make one or two nights a week after 8:00 pm a regular thing, advancing quests (endgame possibility), not sure about crafting
MMO games you’ve played: just D&D Online (MAC Guild - Oeric lvl 10 Cleric)
What do you offer kinships?: good cooperative player, smart, fun, usually reliable, not afraid of voice chat technology
What kind of kinship you are looking for. Light RP, fun, mature, people (with kids like me perhaps), no objection to younger players as long as they are not jerks, not too much zerging, tolerant, smart unique individuals, but NOT "perfectionist" hardcore players who have memorized all the tables/numbers and look down on people they consider amateurs.

Hello and well met....

Regretfully, I find myself seeking a new home. While my existing home is full of very nice and friendly adults, sadly there seems to be an ever increasing reluctance of its memberships to group together. And, that is one aspect of my profession that I enjoy the most.

Therefore, I find myself about to set forth on a new road. A road in which I hope to find like-minded souls that realize that it isn't all about the loot, but the teamwork. That it is more fun to work with others than to endlessly solo. That have a healthy balance of real life with the game, yet actually have goals in both. I seek a kinship of adults, who behave like adults. I seek a kinship that is active and growing, and is east-coast US playing hours friendly (say 8pm est to midnight??)

I am not a hard core player (been there, done that), but I am on most nights.

If you know of a possible new home, please send me a private message.

Thanks!!!

PS - there are a few alts of various levels that may also come over with me

PPS - yes, I posted this elsewhere in the kinship section, having missed this thread. Sorry about that.

[Bakedcrakr]

I'd like to get into a kinship. I"m 22, new to this kind of game. I'm goin with a human hunter and i've been playing around in the brandywine server. I'll be playing mainly on Mon-Wed all day. I'm enjoying the game so far, heard its better with some buddies.

[ShingLieha]

Your name, Barron

Age: 70 plus

Preferred server: Open as have played on 2 so far and feel that I need to drop the existing attempts and restart.
Location. Pacific Coast time zone, Play times generally 9-12 noon and 1 thru 4 PM. Eveninging usually reserved for my wife of 40 years.

Playstyle: As this is my first Multi-Player type game, (Played computer RPG's since1988),Solo and hopefully fellowship with the Kinships members when the need for felowship play arrises either by myself or other members. Casual, end-game, RP, crafter if you all would show me the way

MMO games you’ve played:Just LotRO since the second Beta.

Why kinships should be interested in you:

I offer an ADULT view of commradery as having served in the U.S. Navy for 21 years thru the end of WW2 thru most all of Viet Nam before getting a gut full. This teaches Kinship and fellowship if nothing else does.

What kind of kinship you are looking for.

Purely a Kinship that will take 3 new toons and assit them in delevopment and allowing this two fimger typist who scrambles his letters when in a fellowship fight to be overlooked.

A fellowship that role plays. That does 'not only' think of attaining high levels; but of just playing together when ever possible and having "FUN".

Have played as a Minstrel /Guardian and Hunter. As a Dwarf / Hobbit and Elf.

Hello all, looking for an RP kinship on Gladden.

Characters:
Baisael, Elven loremaster historian living in the Shire. Full history and personality, which I will go into detail for a rp kinship.

Sigvaldr, Human Captain visiting the dwarven lands studying armor making. Also full of rp elements.

Me: Jason Swallow, 27, Baltimore MD. Play about 5 hours per day when I can. Little experience with playing MMORPGs, a bit of a number of games for a research paper I wrote for law school on selling characters for real money. Over 10 years of classic tabletop RPG experience, hence my coming to LORTO for a role playing experience.

Mature Tolkien bigots. :+) :+) Ones who wouldn't even look at me if I was named FragU2N00b or such. 25 years ago I could sight read Tengwar, but I'm pretty rusty these days, need to read the trilogy again a few times.

If you think I am right for your fellowship pls contact me ingame on Silverlode

[Blackhearted]

Your name, or character name and race (if known): I have a few lowbies, i'm still pretty new

Age: 29

Preferred server(s), if any: Will start new if i have to

Location. Ohio, EST

Playstyle: Casual, for fun. I enjoy crafting and grouping. Basically, the reason i like MMOs is because of the community.

MMO games you’ve played: UO, DAoC, CoH, WoW, etc etc

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 pretty friendly guy who likes to contribute to the community. I always offer help when i can.

What kind of kinship you are looking for: I'm looking for a friendly kinship with a strong sense of community. I don't need a powergaming kinship, or the biggest kinship, but i hope to find the kinship who's the most fun.

[jenibobeni]

Your name, or character name and race (if known): jenibobeni - Guardian, Cleothryth - Captain

Age: 27

Preferred server(s), if any. (This is not needed, just for kinship info.): As of right now the only server I have played on is Winfola

Location. (Timezone preferences if any, state/country, etc.): Michigan which is EST, but I am on at all times of the day and night so it doesn't really matter what time zone other people play on because I will probably meet up with them at some point

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 perfer to play in groups whether their levels are above or below me doesn't matter. I also enjoy crafting and at times will play solo if I cannot find a group.

MMO games you’ve played: this is my first and I am hooked!

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: I am very easy going and am willing to help anyone who needs it. If I have items in my inventory I rather give them to someone who needs them versus sell them to a vendor. I am on quite a bit and for many hours at a time so I am not one to get into a group and only get done what I need to get done. I will stay and help others with what they need as well.

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I am looking for a kinship that is not hardcore. I do not want to feel pressured to level up, although that is my ultimate goal and do not want to feel like I have a time limit with it. I am big on community and would like to join a kinship that interacts a lot, not only with grouping but with helping others in chat as well. I would like to be apart of a fun group. Thanks :-)

[phyre627]

Your name, or character name and race (if known): Phyrefoot lvl 39 Hobbit Burgler. (yeah, yeah, but I chose the name before I knew there was a firefoot server )

Age: 29

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

Location. (Timezone preferences if any, state/country, etc.):PA, however I play mostly late at night, so EST timezone doesn't really matter.

Playstyle: Mostly solo, PvE, but that's because ppl from my kin aren't usually on at the same time I am.

MMO games you’ve played:This is the first, but played lots of single player rpg's (Oblivion, Diablo, etc)

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I'm looking for a somewhat organized, laid back, mature kin. I usually play from about midnight to 6am EST, and I'm on 3-4 nights a week. I'm currently in a good kin (Shrouded Destiny), but unfortunately it's rare for others from my kin to be on at the same time as I am, so I'm looking for a kin where there will be others around when I'm on. I'm at a point where there are fewer and fewer solo quests, and while I sometimes manage to put a good group together for stuff, it's nice to have kin mates that you know.

While I enjoy using voice chat, I'm also fine with not using it. I'm definately not looking for a kin where I'll have to listen to a constant stream of foul language from a kin mate.

I'm a team player in the kin, and I have no problem leaving what I'm working on to go help out kin mates.

[LordVindicta]

Hello. I am a 31 Guardian named Varin and my girlfriend is a 31 Hunter named Faywin. We play on Brandywine, and are looking for a kinship for questing and later on, endgame content.

We were previously in a kinship that, though large, did not have a good range of levels, and no one seemed to group together except the highest players. Therefore, we would like to join one in which players group together frequently, instead of forming cliques.

Thanks for your time,
Varin
