Who are we?
We mainly cater to the mature player. Players who have time restraints, family, spouses, full time jobs. Players who know what it's like to have bills and mortgages to pay. Players who know what "waggro" is (I just described myself!) We know real life commitments are a priority with older more mature gamers, and thus we'll never overload you with requirements, and expect you to jump through a bunch of silly hoops just to get a few hours of gaming in with your friends.



Some of our core values and offerings:

*A thriving healthy community, filled with activity. Members are encouraged to become involved and speak their minds. Everyone has a voice, and using it helps us grow wiser and gives us the means and information necessary to continually improve!

* Not just another guild, but an actual community for members to socially interact with other members on a personal level. I've made a good many friends through guilds, a few have even become real life friends. It's our mission to offer a respectable environment void of idiots and muppet heads (yes I said muppet heads...remember them??) to everyone who walks the path of adventure with us.

*A golden rule we believe in: Treat others as you would like to be treated. We like everyone to think of their fellow members and guild mates as family not just another number or body. Get to know your fellow guild mates, and most importantly treat each and every new member with respect. We're all on the same team and working for the same cause, It's important to know you can count on your new brother or sister in a pinch

* Officers - not an elite club. Officers are there for the people, and represent the masses. Officers earn their places among us, and are expected to earn their keep. At no time do we ever plan on making the officership a "cool club for kids".

These are a few of the basic values we carry with us, whatever the cause or game may be, these will always travel with us.


Below is our guild summary.

About Us:


We're an adult guild looking for mature members age 18 or older. We're a social/casual guild passionate about our gaming. How you choose to spend your gaming time is up to you. Dictating how and when you need to play is not our style, we understand part-time gamers with full-time lives.

Updates and News
(for future use)

After being in a couple of different kinships in the game, I hooked up The Hammerfist Clan about a year and half ago. This is great group of players! Casual, laid back, yet serious about the games they play.

In game, they have always extremely helpful and friendly. There is always somebody willing to help out a kinsman with a quest, raid, or what have you. We also have a well established crafting group with a seveal folks already at the Supreme Master level. They will craft almost anything you can think of for little or no cost, usually just supply the mats if you can.

If you are looking for a friendly bunch to group with or just hang out and bs in kinchat, you couldn't find a finer group of folks, IMO.

Even when we aren't playing. We are hanging out in our forums chatting and talking about upcoming games that we are interested in.

Drop by and take a look for yourself.

I have been in the kin for over 2 years and we have a solid core group of players. We have many people that are willing to help you get all you can out of this game. No mandatory raiding. Check us out on our forum and try to reach one of us in game. We are primarily North American players with people in EST, CST, MST, and PST. I think best times for most of us are evenings from 6PM to 12 PM EST. I don't log in until about 9:30 EST and am usually on for about 2 to 3 hours, depending on the wife and kids. Friday and Saturday nights tend to be family/movie nights, in which case I do not get on until they have all gone to bed.

When I was looking for a kin, Hammerfist stood out and I've never looked back. Solid in every way, i can't recommend us enough!

I joined The Hammerfist Clan over a year ago and love it!!!! Everybody in the kin gets along well and we're a solid group of gaming "family". Anytime you need help somebody will always go out and do whatever you need help with. For instance, I started a new toon, and another player was out helping me last night just because there were some quests that I couldn't do without help. I couldn't say anything bad about the kin, they've all taken me into their arms especially since I am one of the handful of girls in the kin!!

Oh also we all love The Hammerfist Clan, so feel free to join and steal some of our pie!

This is a great group of people and we have been around since the beginning. So whether your just starting out or been playing for a while, you will find things here for you.

The group of ppl within the hammerfist clan are amazing. A bit off the wall but amazing nonetheless.

I've grown to love all of them and really do consider HFC as my gaming family.

Gawd, I sound so corny. :P

Stop by our website or bug an officer in-game and ask any questions you may have about the kin.

Who wants pie?

When I first joined Hammerfist a little over two years ago I was a true “raw recruit” with only a vague idea what an MMO was. As I look back on those early days I feel very fortunate to have been recruited by Hammerfist. The officers and members have always been very helpful, friendly and generous with their time and talents. In my opinion you would be hard pressed to find a better group of people to make your online family.

There are a lot of members who have been here for years now. I know myself I have been here now for about 3 or close to it. Its a wonderful place to call home, and I would never thnk about going anywhere else.

Being a little "off the wall" is just one of the endearing qualities of this group, IMO. Otherwise they would have tossed an irreverent and unapologetic smart a** like me out the door a long time ago. Instead, they seem to tolerate me and even play along with my warped and twisted sense of humor.

Ah, our resident curmudgeon is correct. lol

Alright but it's coming out of your pie stash. Not mine!

Nope they can have Andways though :-)

Lorahand put a sign on it that said "Steal this pie!" and somebody did. They took your whipped cream as well!

Ohhhh someone is gonna pay for that little mistake.

Doesn't everyone know the pumpkin pie and whipped cream are mine??

Who did it?? Who did it??

*Lor, you get special hurt-age (I know it's not a word) for that one.

Believe me you don't want that whipped cream back 0_o

Hi-

Your kin sound interesting, and I love pie!!

I'm a very casual player with 3 small kids which usually means I can only play a few hours a week.

Whom should I contact for more information about the kin?

Head to www.hammerfistclan.com

You can read the 'about us' page and look around on the forums to get a feel of our community.

I've been a Hammerfist member for over 2 years now. I've seen different people come and go, but the core values of this kinship are always the same. It is truely a mature, social group that always makes you feel at home. The casual play style of most means you never have to feel pressured about how much time you have available to play, but on the flip side there is almost always someone around to lend a hand if you need it.

Xar

I need to put in some game time today. /sigh Considering rolling a warden. OoOoO

Just popping in to congratulate our new members and show appreciation for making HFC your new home.

Welcome aboard!

I joined Hammerfist almost two years ago and these guys are great. It's awesome to be in a kin that knows real life comes first but is also there when you need help in-game. I also love that HFC is more than just a kin here in LOTRO they are a whole gaming community spread across several virtual lands.

Check out the link in my sig and then apply if this sounds like a good fit.

Greetings to all the new members! Thank you for making HFC your new home.

Yep, shameless plug.

Check out our website and get a feel of the great community that is Hammerfist Clan.

We're all folks with responsibilities outside the game that know gaming time is precious. :P

Hey, are you guys looking for any particular class or have a level req. Seems like a real cool laid back bunch here, but had to ask to be sure. I made a thread looking for a Kin before stumbling onto this thread. You guys seem like a real nice fit for me. I have a lvl 36 Rune-Keeper, and I'm back after about a 6-7 month break. I'm a bit rusty, but I'll be back on my A game in no time. Thanks for your time.

I'd like to join. I'll have to finish the newb area first I think...lol

Hi Kelvryx! I'm not sure if anyone has contacted you yet, but if you're still interested, head over to the Hammerfist website check it out.

http://www.hammerfistclan.com

You can find more info there including details on joining the kin.

Xar

if anyone has any questions about the kin you can pm me or send ingame mail/tell to wishforfish or my alt calcutta. i am on almost everyday from 6pm to 10pm eastern time.

we are currently going through some upgrades on our website. if you are having trouble getting into our site you can leave a post here and someone will respond to you. thank you.

I have been looking for a Guild just like this one! I just recently had a baby and going back to work full time so I have been looking for a casual guild. Is there a application I need to fill out to apply? Thanks in advance.

Hello! I would like to be considered for your kinship! First a bit about me...

Main LOTRO toon: Eofwolf
Xfire: tsbuckr
MSN: tsbuckr@hotmail.com
Age: 29
Location: East coast USA
Gaming times: 9pm-1am most every night
Previous MMO Clans: Knights Templar[KT] and Lords of the Dead[Lotd]
Some previous gaming history: My 2 brothers and I ran a Guild wars guild for nearly 4 years. We had a fair amount of success competitively, even placed top ten at one point and wore exclusive silver capes. We joined with Lotd for a short time when Age of Conan came out. I left due to RL issues. My brother is still there and leading the PvP team to glory.

I have been playing since the FTP launch and loving every minute of it, I have one like-minded e-friend that I play with. We are both around level 40 and have Lone Lands and Evendim unlocked atm. I am looking for a good group for both of us really. To join up with for regular fellowship activities and quests, end-game raids and to maybe bull**** with on vent. I was attracted by your +18 clan and the responses from your members. We are semi-casual, older players that put in 'bout 20+ hours a week. Fun is first on list but maturity counts too.

I think we would be a good fit...get back to me. Thanks.

Yes, you can fill out an application at our forum site, http://hammerfistclan.com/forum/. Drop on by and see the other fine lunatics that we have running around loose on the site. HFC is more than just a single game guild, it's a gaming community spanning a number of games.

Pay us a visit, we have pie!
