I'm looking for a fun bunch of people to play with
18+ is recommended but i would settle down with a younger crowd if its nice and mature.

[Aila]

Character name and race: Goldfruit, a level 32 hobbit hunter.
Age: 27
Preferred server: Eldar
Location: Poland
Playstyle: Mainly solo, crafter and casual I guess, but willing to try different playstyles.
MMO games you’ve played: Apart from LOTRO, I used to play two MUDs in the past. I also play The Secret World.
Why kinships should be interested in you: I'm still new, but willing to help with my (still limited) in-game and gameplay-related skills.
What kind of kinship you are looking for: I'm looking for a casual and friendly kinship running or open to the idea of running player-organized events. I also really like the idea of a hobbit-only kin, but that's not a requirement.

Age: 20
Preferred server: Firefoot

Location: U.S.A Central

[mgodsey]

Age: 38

Server: Currently on Nimrodel, but will transfer. I prefer a more populated server.

Location: EST - Ohio

Current Toon: I have three, a 66 Champion, 24 Rune-Keeper and 35 Hunter. I will be playing my Hunter only.

Play style: Solo, Group, PvE, Raids, end-game, RP, casual, hardcore.. Look in my About Me section for more information

About Me: I was an original LOTRO player back in 2007. I played from 2007 to about 2010 then stopped for other games. Basically stopped about 3 months after the Lothlorian expansion. I have been playing MMOs since 1998 when I started with UO. I am a mature player that looks for other mature players to game with. I have been and enjoy playing End-Game and raids. I am a very methodical player and love the challenge of progression. However, I understand that one person doesn't make a Kin. I enjoy and do help lower level players level so that they can also play in the higher levels. I am looking for a Kin that organized and active. MMOs I have played.. Lets see, UO, EQ, EQ2, LOTRO, Rift, DAOC, Conan, FF14, and Eve. Of those I was, when I stopped playing them, at full clear of all content in EQ, Rift (killed Regulos), DAOC, and almost LOTRO. I think I had one dungeon left.

Please IM me if I would be a good fit for the Kinship.

[Rathera]

Age 42 Name Ian Location – Gloucestershire UK Server – Currently Crickhollow But negotiable


Current Toons Champion lvl 34 Hunter Lvl 27 Rune Keeper Lvl 17 Warden Lvl 15 and Guardian Lvl 12 although Guardian will be dropped.

Play Style – Solo, Pve, Group, Casual, Crafter, Possibly End Game (Eventually)

About Me – Spent 5 years playing WoW but became bored with it and too easy to lvl fast, I wanted a game to take my time to explore without feeling pressured to get to max level asap. Done a few solo skirmishes and looking to learn this game inside out. Not too sure which toon I will concentrate on yet as like different things on each of them.

Although relatively new to LOTRO I do like to help people where possible wether with questlines, crafting etc but we are all here to enjoy the game and I like to think that we can all do that.

The kinship I am looking for would need to be open to new players (noob such a bad word), quite active, friendly, do things with Kin (events etc) and give sound advice when asked. Not a hardcore Kinship just a casual to semi serious for now.

If you think I may be suited to your kinship feel free to message me on here as unsure which toon I will be on. Currently playing my Warden Hansuil.

Thanks for reading.

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: I very much like helping new players to the game.
What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): First let me start with a little more about me (relating to LOTRO). I starting playing LOTRO back near launch in 2007. I have restarted on a different server to get the full experience again. I love the process of building my character over time and have no intention of powering through to get to the end game material. I keep all my toons relatively close to each other in level.
Now that that is out of the way, I'm looking for a kinship that has a good number of adult members. I generally only get an hour or so on weekdays to play with some weekends going longer or shorter. For now that is really all I ask.

[sgtronnoc]

Server: Brandywine
Name: Gaufmod, lvl 25 minstrel
age:19
Location: central Canada
Playstyle: I enjoy solo but prefer being in a fellowship. I love to help out my kinmates when I can and my all time favorite part is crafting/gathering for the kin. I enjoy events, instances, and pretty much anything else you can name.

[AzariahYisrael]

Hi there, my name is Azaryah. I am a lvl 85 Hunter looking for a decent end game guild that doesn't mind someone who may not have the gear but knows how to make the best of what little he has, that makes having FUN a priority over being the best, though I definitely have a competitive nature that desires to be part of the best. I would prefer if the majority of the guilds members are Eastern or Central timezone. If you think you'd be interested, IM me, or send a me a tell or letter in-game. I look forward to hearing and playing with y'all.

[Lord_Mond]

Looking for a Kinship on Brandywine.

Name of characters: Ellishandra (LM 60), Nichievo (RM 58), Cheli (HN 55), Aldarrius (CP 42), Dinwiddie (CH 33), Phinaglin (BU 22) and a 25th level Hunter whose name escapes me at the moment. Several were highly-skilled crafters.

Age: 50

Location: Alabama, United States (central time)

Playstyle: prefer to group whenever possible for the social interaction, solo if I must. I tend to play support classes, usually healers/buffers.

MMOs played: Neverwinter Nights on AOL, Everquest (twice), Diablo, Diablo II Guild Wars, Everquest 2, World of Warcraft, Dark Age of Camelot (twice), Lord of the Rings Online (twice), Dungeons and Dragons Online

Assorted Information: I played LotRO for almost two years and am returning now because of the upcoming expansion. I am currently a member of a Kinship (Shades of Twilight, but it is almost completely inactive now, so there is really nothing to prevent me from joining a more active Kinship. However, as I've been away from the game for almost three years, I have a great deal of learning to do about the changes that have been made to the game. A Kinship that invites me will be getting a dedicated, co-operative and team-oriented player to be sure, but one that needs to learn what is almost an entirely new game and for that I'll need their patience. Ideally, the Kinship would have characters in all level ranges for ease of grouping, though I am not so tied to any one character that I would not swap in order to fill a needed class slot.

Please feel free to contact me in-game either by chat if you happen to catch me on or by in-game mail.

Thank you for reading, and see you in the game!

[MCNightshade]

Arkenstone Server

Looking for a socialable Kinship (people that actually talk to each other and from time to time group up for instances)

Both myself and my wife are looking to join such a kinship. We are completly self reliant, so we dont really expect or want anything other then to make some new friends.

Our normal play times are 8 AM CST to appx 3 PM CST, even on weekends. We would prefer not to join a Kin thats a ghost town during the day and players only log in after 4 PM, any timezone.

My wifes Character names are Eteria, Kaena. My character names are Valenari, Achangel, Respawn, and Xerotolerance.

My wife and I have multiple level 85's but will only bring over 1 or 2 of the 85's, mostly because we own 2 rank 10 kinships and we want to keep them(for storage). There are no other players in the kins, its mostly all of our alts and a few of my daughters characters.

BE SAFE AND HAVE FUN....No DRAMA PLEASE.

[Harbaggins]

Howdy Kinship Recruiters

I'm on dwarrowdelf with a few chars no higher than ~ 35th level. I seem to be hitting a spot on or near 30th level and find it hard to stay motivated on my own.

My Name, Rich, current active Character Gilianna, currently 33lvl Elven Hunter.

Age: 44 years young.

Server Dwarrowdelf.

Location. Canada, Southern Ontario, Eastern Time zone. Playtimes weekends anytime, most evenings. After ~6pm EST.

Playstyle: Mostly solo so far, interested in groups but worried I'll let me peeps down. I figure a good kinship will help me find groups that understand.

MMO experience: DDO on/off for ~5 years where I was part of perfect guild on Cannith - The Guild of Calamitous Intent. A great group perfect for me. But I lost interest in the game.

Other gaming history - P & P D&D and tabletop board games. Been a PC gamer since MS DOS-Days.

Why kinships should be interested in me? I'm an old school gamer eager to please but have no patience for rudeness. There are no stupid questions but I've asked a few in my day. I get that real life can intrude into a game and have mountains of patience while spouses and kids are handled. Wife Agro is the worst sort and should be handled with utmost care. We have 2 kids - young teens. We played DDO together but they aren't that interested in LOTRO leaving Pops by myself.

What kind of kinship am I looking for: I need a guild with active forums and good for newbs with an active lower-level character base. I've played on and off for a few years but this is the most time I've spent 'into' the game and starting to see that I'm missing out on Fellowships, skirmishes, instances etc and have a lot to learn in those areas. No Drama.... Sad that I even have to mention it... drama is for the younger set.

That's all I have. See you in game.

[SaintGraye]

Character/s: Graye (L50 Elven Hunter) / Dulcet (L31 Hobbit Minstrel)
Age: 22
Server: Crickhollow
Location: Sacramento, California, USA
Playtime: 8:00 PM to 4:00 AM (20:00 to 4:00) PST/UTC-8

Playstyle: Primarily solo in PvE, although I find small group play (2 to 6 players) quite enjoyable. Crafting is integral, often demanding a significant portion of my time in gathering materials alone; I am presently a Farmer/Forester/Woodworker (Woodsman) with proficiencies of Apprentice/Westfold/Supreme. I am open to RP (and have read all of Tolkien's books, including the Silmarillion), though I have never gone out of my way to engage nor instigate such and by no means consider myself a "hardcore" player despite the often extended length of my sessions. PvP holds scant appeal, as does raiding, although short skirmishes and instance-based quests are acceptable. I genuinely enjoy the festivities and social events hosted by the developers and often spend time aiding low-level players in the starter zone.

LOTRO History: I began playing Lord of the Rings Online roughly a month or so after it went Free-to-Play, yet found my interest diminishing following a glut of repeated deaths and the dissolution of my longtime guild, with whom I had played several other games. A number of my friends from the guild stuck around, yet most ultimately migrated to other titles and I quit in turn when real-world concerns became more pressing (primarily school and personal-health issues). I returned to the game just last week, after reading a thread on MMORPG.com that detailed some upcoming changes to the combat and have since revived my adoration for Middle Earth.

MMOs Played: ...just about everything. From WoW to City of Heroes, FreeRealms and Ultima Online, Age of Conan, Fallen Earth, EdenEternal, Rift, Wurm Online, MapleStory, Runescape, SMTOnline, Anarchy Online... etc, etc, etc. If you can name it, I've likely played it.

What I Offer: Experience, a willingness to lend a hand and an occasionally dry, even acerbic wit.

What I'm Looking For: An active group of players, open to aiding lower-leveled members progress and patient with those who are not in a rush to reach endgame content. I'd prefer to avoid any kinship that suffers from bouts of "drama" or politics, and am decidedly not prone to inciting any, have scant tolerance for excessive vulgarity and extends a certain degree of consideration to all players. Kinship housing is not required, nor is a particularly large membership, a website/forum or any of the other amenities associated with organized guilds. Above all, I would truly enjoy finding a kinship that respects me even if my tendency is to be the "quiet guy" in the corner of the room or my proclivities push me to play the lone wolf for extended periods of time.


EDIT: Presently a recruit, and hopefully future member, in Second Breakfast. Thank you for the many responses and to Rosalie in particular for the advice.

[Alcidy]

Asmriel - Race of Men(Female) - First real Lotro character, as i just recently started playing.

Age: 19
Toronto, Canada EST (late) PST is also fine.
Currently on BrandywineLocation.

I usually play solo or sometimes in a group if there is a friend available to quests or what not together. I've never tried RP, but i am open to the idea and would definitely be interested.

I used to play Runescape and Maplestory some 4-5 years ago. Played GW2 for about month. Been playing League for about 3 or so years. Still do sometimes.

I've never really experienced a MMO with a guild (Kin). Usually played solo and never took any initiative in guild activities or even sought out a active guild. But i would really like to experience LOTRO differently and really enjoy my time in Middle Earth.

[Jeredin_DarcNite]

Name: Jthir-(Main Lvl 70 Hunter) and numerous alts

Age: 33 Male

Preferred server(s): Gladden-(Apologies I can't relocate)

Location: Oregon-(PST), United States

Play Style: I pay to play. I solo most of the time but I’m interested in Raids, Instances, and the like for the good rewards. I’m a Supreme Master Woodworker-(I just came back to the game so I haven’t worked on anything past that). I have several crafting alts to support my main character.

MMOs I Have Played: I have played quite a few so I will list the ones I have spent the most time with-(Star Wars Galaxies, Eve, Star Wars TOR, Guild Wars, Everquest).

Why Me?: Above all else I’m willing to help! I have had plenty of it in my years playing LOTRO, and enjoy returning the favor to those in need. I have been playing for quite some time-(2007), so I have a good grasp of the game and its mechanics. I have a healthy sense of humor .

What I’m Looking For: Mature active players that share my affinity for LOTRO. I’m looking for a Kinship that can fulfill my desire to participate in Raids and Instances for the high end content. It would be helpful if said Kinship was also in my time zone, but that is not a must.
