Thread: Looking for a Kinship? Post here.

ATTENTION: Kinship Recruiters. This thread is NOT for your advertisements. This thread is for people who are looking. Respect this rule, please. PM those who may be of interest to you.

Use this thread if you are undecided on a kinship (guild) or are confused by how many there are and what server to choose.

I encourage you to post sufficient information about yourself so that recruiters will know if they are interested in you or not.

For example:

Your name, or character name and race (if known):
Age: (some kinships have real life age limits)
Preferred server(s), if any. (This is not needed, just for kinship info.):
Location. (Timezone preferences if any, state/country, etc.):
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.):
MMO games you’ve played:
Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?:
What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters):

Perhaps we can get this thread set up as a sticky to prevent it from falling down the line?

Excellent thread idea!


Name or character name: Unknown at this time (can't make one until tomorrow )

Age: 24

Location: USA; MST timezone.

Playstyle: Solo for when I can't find groups, but prefer to be in groups of similar level people. Eventually when I reach endgame, it would be nice to have enough people to do all the end game content with.

MMO games you’ve played: FFXI, WOW, SWG (Not currently playing them all, just have before)

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: I'm an adult and I act like one. I don't swear every other word and I don't argue over pointless stuff for the sake of arguing. I'm open minded and will always be willing to take advice from others and follow directions in groups. I have experience in the MMO world, so I'll already know the bassics like aggro, pulling, main tank, off tank, etc.

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I'm looking for a kinship with mature people. To me, mature dosen't mean a certain age, it means people who don't act like children. What I don't want to see is people or kinships with names like "1c4Mp4lLd4y" or "$$havens$$" or anything else that uses numbers/symbols in place of words/letters or alternating upper and lower case letters. Casual is better to me than hardcore also. I don't want to feel forced into leveling instead of enjoying the game. A functional website is a must. A kinship that will help it's members is a must.

Well, hope that covers it

Hello,

I’m interested in joining a Kinship that is:
o Organized, yet laid back. A casual atmosphere is nice and I have no interest in being part of a Hardcore Gaming Kinship for the simple reason of….I have a life. I have a job, a life, and a wife. I play for fun because it’s what I enjoy. This does not mean that a laid back Kinship can not be organized and helpful. You’ll find that if you actually PLAN events at least a week in advance, many more people can make your event. If someone misses an event, be willing to go back and help that person out. This all, of course, leads me to…
o Team orientated, but value individual play. I surely don’t need or want the pressures of, “Dude…where were you….we needed to raid X site for X period of time”. F that…no thanks…go away. I’ll be there when I can and I will help when I can. Understand that I will not help every time I login as I may not have a certain quest, level, etc. to actually help or, just simply, I do not want to help. At the same time, understand that if I can help…I will.
o Mature, but can still be free to tell a few naughty jokes. Don’t be offended by adult content & themes, but knows when too much is too much. Have a sense of humor and enjoy the game. I emphasize this…because it is a game not a life. Enjoy it!
o Drama free is a must. This includes begging, players with the inability to be self-sufficient, getting offended because I make a joke about an actual woman that plays that I’ve know far longer or better then you…and you get offended and try to “defend her honor” when she and I both know we’re joking. Yeah…how sweet…go away.
o Role-playing? I don’t mind a little ingame roleplay, but I’m not entirely sure I want a Kinship that is devoted to pure role-playing. I do, however, enjoy a little bit of RP in such simple things as Names. A kinship with a good name and good “background” is always intresting to me. Getting involved in the story of a Kinship, world, and people is always fun (^_^) (you know my character is gonna have a background (/^_^)/ )
o Don’t be time zone specific. As I’ve said before, I play FFXI regularly and one of my favorite things is being in a Linkshell (guild) with people from Japan, Europe, Australia, and America. It truly is a fascinating and fun experience when you have some many different cultures sharing a common joy (^_^)
o PvP. To be honest…I’ve never been big on PvP in MMO’s for the simple reason that 90% of the time…it’s not a match of skills, but a match of “Who’s got the best equipment”. If you PvP, don’t expect much interaction from me. If I can avoid it all together, so much the better.

You’ll notice that all of my comments ride a very thin line. It’s been my experience that some of the best Guilds are the ones who know how to ride that line juuuuust right.

As for me?
30+ years old. Have a job that requires a lot of OT at times, so I will not be present for all events. I’m mostly a weekend warrior. If I play during the weekdays, I’ll only be on for about an hour… maybe 2, tops. I’m very laid back and I do like to have fun (hence all my funky smiley faces above). I have no problems with helping out on Missions, Quests, etc and I find that I do enjoy helping when I can. I can say that I will be a Hume Guardian as, going through beta, it was something that I did enjoy. I will also be an Armorsmith as I did find that Crafting chain to actually hold my interest as well. As far as MMO’s are concerned, I’m playing FFXI and have played SWG, Ragnarok, and a bit of WoW (didn’t like it that much at all). I enjoy the world of LotR and am an explorer at heart. I listen in events that leaders need to talk for and will lead in events that leaders are needed. All in all, I enjoy this world and this game and I would hope that I can find a kinship that feels the same.

Quick Update: I'm currently located on the Meneldor Server
Update: Kinship found. Thank you everyone

Name or character name: Unknown at this time (can't make one until tomorrow )

Age: 34

Location: USA; EST timezone.

Playstyle: Solo for the most part, I have a lot of time on my hands presently, so I can hook up most anytime for groups though.

MMO games you’ve played: First one really, I played some UO, using a friends character years ago, and enjoyed it.

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: Maturity, RPG experience, Lore knowledge, analytical thinker, above average intellect, and yet, I still like to have fun and laugh here and there! Did I mention I can be online just about anytime?

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): Well, being my first MMO, I am sure that this will vary from time to time. Probably would be best to be a part of a group close to my age to start. One with tabletop RPG experience would be nice, but not necessary. I would like to be a part of a group that would be respected by others and looked up to. A group that is not selfish or cold in regards to themselves and to other non Kinship players.

I plan to act as if I were really there in ME...i.e. Role Play once I get my feet wet. I hope to acquire voice when I and others feel I am ready for such a step. .

Now, I will admit that I am very strongly into Lore. I see much deviation, but can accept it and have even rationalized much of it. But I am not much for Hobbits acting as tank or Lore Masters that are more into casting Power spells rather than amplifying the rest of the group etc.

I wanted to make this shorter, but got carried away...sorry.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

Kinda feels like going through Rush in the college fraternity days!

Name or character name: Not sure yet - will know tommorrow for sure.

Age: 35

Location: PDT - Nevada

Playstyle: I like playing solo, but also enjoy group questing - depends on how I feel.

MMO games you’ve played: SWG, CoH/CoV, MxO, VG.

What do you offer kinships?: I work graveyards, and get home around noon, spend roughly 3-4 hours everyday, and on my weekends, good luck getting the keyboard outta my hands. Like playing support toons more than anything, and definitely crafters.

I had two PMs, before the old forum wipe, from an Aaron and one from a Mel... both were in the same guild (guild name started with an A) before I could reply to either of you, they had pulled the plug... would like to further discussions if you're still here.

What kind of kinship you are looking for.: Relaxed atmosphere, this is my fun time and when it gets to seem more like a 'job' than my real job it's time to quit.

yup, I am looking for some online friends to join up with. =)

MMO games you’ve played: EQ, EQ2
Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: ummm, I am friendly, and my toon will be cute
What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I am looking for a casual kinship, I am RL female married with kids, so people in the same boat as me would be great, maybe kinships more couple oriented, in case I talk my hubby in to playing. I mainly want a kinship for the social aspect, with occasional grouping

Hi all. I've been trying to get in contact with the Riders of the Riddermark (to join up , but I haven't heard anything back after sending my application. I also can't post anything on their official web site, even though I've signed up.
If anyone from that Kinship sees this, let me know!

cheers

Playstyle: PvE, RAIDs, casual & hardcore (depending on RL time constraints), light role playing
MMO games you’ve played: DAoC (since day 1), WoW (beta and then lightly), Shadowbane (disappointment there).
Why kinships should be interested in you?: I like to group, and don't confuse in-game money or items for having real value. The game is pretend: the players are real people.
What kind of kinship you are looking for: I like to play the game for itself, I am willing to play to help someone, just to play to help someone. I have a strong sense of humor. I like to stick to one char on one server.
I'm open to what server I will play on.

Character name:

Unknown yet, something hobbitsounding.

MMO games you’ve played:

Gemstone III, DragonRealm, EQ, EQ2, WoW, SWG, and others.

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?:

I offer a mature family friendly person to enjoy the game with. In the past I've had successful business ventures in various games as it relates to what I do in real life and comes naturally.

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters):

I'm really looking to join a kinship that has a more long term view to the game. I'd like to participate over time learning all sorts of things and just having fun. As I plan on playing a Hobbit Hunter or Burglar. So a hobbit only kinship would be interesting, or one accepting many various members would also be of interest.

If possible it would be great to see a website or something dedicated to the various tasks and concepts that the kinship stands for. The communication between members I feel is important to build friendships with people and get to be able to play together more effectively.

I look forward to some feedback.

Thanks for your time.

Name: Pixiedust(elven hunter)or Ravenlynn(hobbit burg) are my mains...yes I tend to have alt-itis but I swear I am working on it

Age: 24

Location: NY, USA...EST time zone...or is it EDT right now....

Games of past: haha only DDO, my husband dragged me into it, we started a cute guild together which is still Very active but I left b/c the content got wicked stale for me and quite frankly I Love Lord of the Rings

My playstyle is pretty casual with perhaps a touch of roleplay. I am really looking for a kinship that does alot of grouping, enjoys helping others and promotes a family like atmosphere. I have been playing beta since Beta 1 and I feel I could definitely help newer players. Like to have fun and take things easy but certainly know the time and place for more serious play...Great Barrows anyone?

Think my server is going to be Silverlode b/c it seems to have quite a few fun-loving folks so if you have a kinship on there that seems to be a good fit please send me a pm. I will certainly reconsider servers since it's so early in the game however.

Cheers!!

Name or character name: My name is Luke but my character is named Maegnor, he's an elf guardian (got a good back story on him if you really want).

Age: 21

Location: USA, CST

Playstyle: I've never done this before but crafting and PvE sounds like my kind of thing.

MMO games you’ve played: None but I have a lot of experience in RPG's and I learn fast.

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 laid back guy but I'm also competitive and always want to be the best at what I do. I have a great sense of humor and get along well with others. I know LOTR well enough to be considered a nerd, but not obsessively.

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I want a kinship I can be proud of and be wanted. I'd like our kinship to be recognized and respected by other gamers (not now necessarily but someday). Also, I have a microphone headset that I just bought and I'd like to use for this game. Oh yea, and I pre-ordered so I'll be on in the next 24 hours.

p.s. I'm on Elendilmir so try and find me!

Looking for a Kinship, which I guess is similar to a guild, to join. Haven't played alot of MMORPGs, played WoW til I found out how ridiculously boring it is.

I'm 24/m in the Boston area. People say I look like Frodo, but other people say I look nothing like him. Still, it is amusing when someone who I don't know brings it up randomly.

Just looking for a group that is non-hardcore about the game, and would make playing the game fun instead of a chore.


Shoot me a pm if you want me to join your Kinship. I'm looking at the Brandywine server, cause the name is freakin' sweet.

Name or character name:
Unknown at this time

Age: 44

Location:
USA; Pacific Northwest (PST).

Playstyle:
I'm perfectly happy playing solo but prefer to be in a group of guild members.

MMO games you’ve played:
Lineage I & II, Shadowbane, AC2, GW

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 team player who enjoys helping other guild members. I can follow direction and can lead if needed. I'm an adult and I act like one, no drama here.

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters):
I'm looking for a group of casual mature people who enjoy playing and being active in game and in guild but don't take themselves to seriously.

I have a wife and kids, a job and other responsibilities. In other words, I have a life away from the computer and if push comes to shove, they take priority. That been said, I do manage to get a fair about of play time in and am fortunate to have a wife that doesn't get to bent out of shape if I'm playing to much

My kids like to watch dad play on the computer and if I'm using TS or Vent, I like to have the sound playing through my speakers instead of my headset. So I would prefer to find a guild that the maturity spills over on to TS or Vent. I not talking about the occasional slip in the middle of battle but I prefer not have a constant rain of f-bombs dropping during casual conversation.

I'm playing the game for enjoyment. And while I look forward to end game raids, for me the fun of the game is the journey getting there and hope to find a guild that is ok with that.

Please PM me with information, I'm going to need to choose a server soon.

Name or character name: Not yet decided, likely a human, Captain or Loremaster

Age: 28

Location: US (Indiana, thats EST I suppose?)

Playstyle: I am a rather casual player, like to explore the world and probably raiding later. I prefer PvE over PvP until now but the monster play sounds interesting. RP is definitive an option as long as its not to heavy.
I played WoW quite intense for 1 1/2 Years and I'm looking for a bit more casual experience. I intend to play around 12-20h per week and could think about one or two evenings a week for scheduled stuff as raids. I definitely dont want to end up having a second job in the game. RL goes first. Since I have no clue how endgame in LOTRO looks I can not tell right now if I like it or not.

MMO games you’ve played: UO and WoW

Why kinships should be interested in you: I'm a relaxed, non-competetive player, I don't take the game too serious and gold is not money. I have lowlvl Raid Experience in WoW (MC, Ony, BWL, Zul Gurub cleared). I am a dedicated crafter and sometimes farmer.

What kind of kinship you are looking for:

I am looking for a bunch of people who want to see everything the game has to offer but still have a life outside the game and accept the same from their kin. In germany I was part of an elder players guild and I would prefer something like this again. I am old and slow and I like that. Some out-of-game place for communication like a small forum would be nice.

I am not looking for people that want to beat every encounter as first on the server...

So far I am completely open which server I play on. I was a while in european closed beta and will be in open beta from tomorrow on. Would be nice to hear from you.

Name or character name:
Zeldain - Burglar or Champion

Age: 38

Location:

Playstyle:
Casual with a propensity to raid. In-depth crafter.

MMO games you’ve played:
SWG, WoW

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?:

I'm an end-game experienced rogue from WoW, looking for a more casual experience... just interested in a laid back atmosphere and absorbing the game for the story, some adventure and some good times. Also interested in crafting

I'm a mature player, 38 w/ family, and can committ to 3 days per week of scheduled guild events from 8pm - Midnight Eastern time.

I can bring alot to the guild in terms of ability, enthusiasm and reliability...

Name or character name: Real name is Ryan character name probably Raskol/Raskolnikov (Crime & Punishment) or FLGM

Age: 16

Location: Central US

Playstyle: I like playing solo but I also enjoy groups, especially if I can become friends with the group. I'm usually a sword tank but with LOTRO I think I'll try to be a lot of different things. I like crafting both weapons/ armor and general items. The new musician thing sounds really cool as I am a musician myself so that'll be fun.
MMO games you’ve played:I played SWG a good while until CU which ruined the game for me. I then played Guild Wars which I still play periodically. During a period when my computer was down I played Kingdom of Loathing on an old Vaio . More recently, I played WoW and managed a lvl 15 in two days before my trial subscription ran out. Now, I've pre-orders the CE of LOTRO and I hope to be playing it for a while.

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?meh, the egotistical part) I'm a pretty good leader and I do enjoy helping people. I've been playing video games for a while so I'm bound to catch on to LOTRO pretty quick. I'm not one to flake out of a guild/clan/kinship so I'll stay and help the guild/clan/kinship along if need be. I HAVE WEBMASTERING SKILLS. Just FYI

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters):I'm looking for a kinship open to a variety of people. I don't want all the members to be the same; I like a diversity. I want to join a kinship that's got plenty of people in it but not so much that it's not close. I'd like either a multi-class or strength-based-class group.

Sorry you had to read all that if you did. Thanks =)

Hi my name is Jonathan I am 24

Location : South Dakota

Time Zone: Mountain Time

I have been playing mmorpg's for a very long time

Played: EQ,EQ2,VG,SWG,UO,WOW,D&DO,FFXI ,AO

Currently Playing WoW till something better comes along.


I am seeking a kinship that is mature. I have raiding exp and willing to go on raid if my work and school schedule permit. I am unsure of the race or class , but possibly rolling towards Human or Elf.

I wouldn't mind joining a Role Players guild, since a little bit of role playing is always fun. If I sound like someone of interest let me know.

Name:TBA
Age:31
Location:Ohio, USA
Playstyle:Sometimes casual, sometimes hardcore.
MMO's Played:Anarchy Online, Matrix Online, WOW, Star Wars Galaxy, City Of Hero's/Villians, EVE Online (Free Trial), EverQuest II (Free Trial).

I have have been playing Lotro closed beta, and I am all ready to go with my pre-order for open beta. I will not be able to resist the 199$ lifetime offer, so I will be playing Lotro for quite some time. I prefer a kinship with people of mixed ages or my age range. (There is nothing worse then some 12 year old calling me a gimp and professing to own me and my mamas butt)...I am not interested in role playing either. Life is complicated enough...I would like a kinship that uses ventrillo or teamspeak. I am very helpful with people and very generous when it comes to shareing, crafting, and items...If I have it and you need it...It's Yours....I will not charge my kinship for items, help, knowledge, as I would not charge my own family...I am also a Star Trek fan and will be playing that MMO as well when it comes out in a couple years...

Name or character name:
Will make my character when the servers are up again.

Age:
46

Location:
USA; EST timezone.

Playstyle:
I like to play solo but I know that many of the quest require a group. I'm looking for a kinship that has a good, easy going group of people. I also like to do light Role Playing.

MMO games you’ve played:
SWG. Dark Age of Camelot, Earth and Beyond, Everquest II (only for a short time). I've done more PnP games than MMO's. Been playing pnp D&D, off an on, since the 80's.

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?:
I guess my biggest selling point is my maturity. I'm very easy to get along with and seldom argue over things. I like to think that I'm open to others ideas and suggestions.

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters):
I'm looking for a kinship with people who are mature in their thinking and attitudes. Not looking to play with kids who always have to prove themselves to others or be the center of attention. As I said earlier I don't mind some role playing. In fact I think it would be very fun to role play. However I don't want to be in a kinship that has too many rules and restictions about RP'ing like ALWAYS be in chacacter ALL the time...even in the forums. That's too much like a job and I already have one of those. I'm here to have fun, kill orcs and other baddies and get to discover Middle-earth. I usually only play humans or elves. I tried hobbits and dwarves in closed beta and it just didn't click for me. I usaully play Gaurdians, Champions or Hunters. Thanks for reading my post and I hope to hear from you soon!

Name or character name: Unknown right now.

Age: Let's just say I read Tolkien for the first time back in the 60's

Location: Washington, DC - I like to play between 5-10 PM EST (plus variable hours on weekends), and I hope to find at least some Kinship members who play similar hours

Playstyle: I love to solo, but also enjoy a good group. I'm an experienced gamer, with a lot of MMO experience.

MMO games you’ve played:
DAOC (4 years) and City of Heroes (3 years), with stabs at various others like WoW along the way

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?:
Experience, maturity, a great love of Tolkien and a genuine desire to help others in my Kinship and my group.

What kind of kinship you are looking for.
A mature group who doesn't pressure members to attend ALL Kinship functions (my real life schedule sometimes interferes with my gaming - curse the luck!), one which fosters a community but does not force participation at an artificial level (minimum number of posts, etc.), one which likes to help out other Kinship members, is friendly and likes to form groups with others in the Kinship but is also understanding of those who wish to solo from time to time. In summary: mature but laid back.

I look forward to talking to any and all of you on-line, and I'd be happy to chat if I'm not occupied.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and best of luck to all!

name: n/a at this time...i plan to have a capt,champ,hunter,guardian of various races

age: 40+ i read the hobbit and lotr trilogy in very early 70's

location: Arizona, USA - i play at various times through out the day and evening

playstyle: i love to solo but enjoy grouping up for fellowship quests and pvmp

MMO games played/beta'd: UO, AC2, Eve, CoH/CoV, Vanguard, Dungeon Runners, WoW, Auto Assault, Guild Wars, Supreme Commander, CnC 3

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?:
Experience, maturity...i get along with everyone...everyone loves me. I can lead when i need to and follow when not. I beleive in doing anything I can to help those within my clan/guild/kinship with a "pay it forward" attitude. I also like to represent my kinship by going out of my way to help non-memebers and the community at large.

What kind of kinship you are looking for:
basicly one that is into a little bit of everything LotRO has to offer.
casual free-form RP via the say channel
one that is excellent to one another and helps those outside the group
one that believes and loves the lore as much as i do to the extent that members names are either from the lore or fit in naturally with it.
voice chat optional but not required
and while i enjoy grouping i also want a clan that doesnt mind me going off by myself to solo and explore.

Name or character name: Probably Nayla (creating new character today)

Age: 21, Husband is 23

Location: CST TEXAS BABY!!! PST ok as well.

Playstyle: semi casual, some end-game, medium to low requirements

MMO games you’ve played: FFXI for a year and a half, WoW for the same

Why kinships should be interested in you: I have been a GM for over 6 months to a semi casual raid guild on WoW and had much success with it. I have been in every kind of guild and linkshell..whatever you want to call it :P from very casual to hard core end game with many play restrictions and requirements. I have deep knowledge in all aspects of MMO gameplay (except maybe pvp) and will make it a point to be exceptional at any class I choose.

What do you offer kinships?: I can bring leadership, exceptional general mmo skills, and a player who learns quickly and will want to know the ins and outs of the game from beginning to end. Having run a guild myself sucessfully in the past, I have what it takes to organize, plan, mediate and ensure players enjoy the game while not putting too much pressure on them.

What kind of kinship you are looking for: I am new to this game, but it seems like I'll get the hang of it really quickly since it's UI and controls are so much like WoW. I am looking for a kinship that can offer simple aide and companionship; a leveling kinship that can level together, help each other out and hopefully progress into end-game in the future. I prefer tight knit communities rather than member &&&&&&, and STRONG LEADERSHIP is a must.

Thank you very much! Please contact me via PM. I will be willing to roll on whatever server has the most interest ^_^

Character name:
Undecided atm, will play either a Guardian or Minstrel.

Age:
21

Location:
New York. Would prefer an eastern timezone guild, but will be able to work with just about any timezone.

Playstyle?
Solo alot, don't mind playing with groups either, hardcore.

MMO games you’ve played?
WoW, AO, Shadowbane, EQ2, COH/COV. Mostly played WoW and AO, others I have played but not for long.

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?
Lol, seems more like a job interview now. Uh, I'm very creative, fun to play with (at least that what most say), and I'm still very mature with these aspects. I learn how to play stuff quickly. I'm loyal to my guild/kinship, I've only been in a few, and the only reason I don't have one now is because my friends who I've been gaming with for many years are staying in WoW.

What kind of kinship you are looking for?
Grouping to level, and raiding at endgame. Mature is a must, I don't want to play with a bunch of kids. I had enough of them in the WoW community. Vent and Forums are definitely a must, if you don't have them or don't plan on creating some, please don't bother PMing me.

I'm soo not trying to hijack the thread here, but those of you I PM'd...my name in game has changed to Lothiriel (5 minutes after server went live Falathiel was taken )

Hello all,
I'm 22 year old gamer living in the central time zone.

I played in the closed beta and I am thinking of creating a human captain, human champion, or a hobbit minstrel.

I am looking for a kinship with mature players who realize that I have a regular 7-3 full-time job. Also one that is somewhat organized and that has a great community feeling to it.

I am open to rp.

I'm relatively new to MMORPGs but not to video games.

I probably plan on playing about 10-20 hours a week.

Player Name. I have a human but plan in starting over


Age 19

Location Colorado (( MT))

Type of Kinship. Im looking for a heavy Rping group..but not so into it if i miss a peace of Lore that i get kicked out...but not so light that RP is only a after thought

Name or character name: Tidel, or Rhyder

Age: 14, prety much up for any guilds no matter what age.

Location: EST

Playstyle: I love to pvp, I would also like to be a part of the PVE in this game.
MMO games you’ve played: WoW,MxO, EQ2,PS,AC2,FFXI, Gods and Heroes Beta ,DAOC, Coh/Cov, and much more

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 experience with MMO's and I can learn how to play my class very well.

What kind of kinship you are looking for. PVP/PVE

I've come to find that I'm far pickier than I thought I was when it comes to kinships/guilds/whatever you want to call them. I've been in a few, in a few different games, (CoH, WoW, D&D) and I've ended up disappointed, for the most part.

I'm 35, a husband, father, and musician. I love playing games like these, but there is a life going on in the real world as well. I live in Florida.

I was going to state what I was looking for in a kinship, but I think instead I'll note what kind of player I am, and maybe there's a kinship that's looking for me.

I play more during the week than on the weekends, as the band tends to be a bit busier then. I tend to play solo a decent bit, but enjoy groups quite a lot. I thoroughly enjoy helping others in-game...it's nice to feel useful.

I generally use the voice in the game, as I'm a slow typist, and am prone to typos. I don't generally role-play, but tend to get a kick out of those that do. I admire their own type of creativity. I am not some elitist, and don't really have any desire whatsoever to be the best anything in the game. I like to be good at something, but I'm not consumed with my own awesomeness.

Mostly, I'm interested in enjoying myself with others while playing, as long as it doesn't come at anyone's expense. I tend to be fairly cautious while playing, and would rather survive if I can. I'll put my toons in danger for the sake of saving someone else, but complete recklessness tends to wear on me. I like talking and joking around with others. and am not completely uptight about what people say, as long as there's some degree of respect for others. I can be a goofball...

I hope this isn't like reading War and Peace, I just wanted to cover as much as I could.

Oh, and by the way, I'm on the Landroval server

Server:Meneldor
Character names: Tarot & Vlad (so far)
Age: 34
Location: U.S. Eastern timezone
Playstyle: solo, casual, crafter
MMO resumè: Ultima Online, EverQuest (beta & release), Anarchy Online (beta & release), Dark Age of Camelot, The Sims Online (beta & release), City of Heroes, Star Wars Galaxies (beta & release), World of Warcraft (beta & release)
Why you want me: I'm an experienced MMO gamer and play at least a couple hours every evening after work, and way too much on weekends. I've been in LotRO since Alpha3. And I'm a L33T MOM.
What I'm looking for: A laid-back kinship with which I can socialize, quest, trade crafting materials and avoid idiots who pester me to join their kinships. I prefer to solo as much as possible. I like being self-sufficient. I play a lot, but I'm not into powerleveling. With the parts of LotRO that obviate solo playstyle, I'd like to find a solid kinship. I'm also looking for a group of people who won't need me to define words like "obviate." I'm not too interested in moving servers. In fact, the only thing that would get me to do so would be if several of my old AXIS guildmates from SWG were somewhere else.

Location: Oregon, Pacific Standard Time

Games I've played in the past: City of Heroes/Villains, World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, Lineage II. I am also a console gamer *hides* :P

Why me?: I'm a fun, easy going fella. No Drama please . I have an open mind, I do have a career that has me work early mornings, thus I'm home by noon.

What I'm looking for: A group of people who are also here to have fun. Who share a friend/family type atmosphere...a group I would be glad to call 'home' away from home. A group willing to assist others when they need help.

Age: 24

Location: Louisiana, Central Standard Time

Playstyle: solo, group, PvE, PvP, RAIDs, casual

Games I've played in the past: Wasn't introduced to MMO's untill about 3 years ago and I've spent 90% of that time on WoW. Also tried vanguard out for a month or so.

Why me?: I am a very laid back person, but don't confuse that with lazy. I've taken officer positions in past guilds and really don't mind leading a raid or putting forth that extra effort to help someone out.

What I'm looking for: FUN. I'm here to play something new and make some new friends along the way. I'm looking for a guild that plans on focusing on the end-game content 3 to 4 nights per week, and a guild that understands that RL is more important. Although I love raiding, I must say PvP is great with a good group of people. I'm not hardcore but I do love the competition of clearing new content. Hit me with a PM if you want to know more about me.

Name or character name: (Still updating, SO IF you like me please tell me what server before I am done! if not I will update this with my server/char info)(As of now I am at 64% so i still have a while lol)

Playstyle: I am more of a casual player. Would like to play group when I have the time but solo is how I usually go when I only have an hour to play or so.
MMO games you’ve played: UO, EQ, DAoC, SWG (very short), Asheron's Call (1 and 2), WoW
Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: Oh boy, now I get to make myself sound all sorts of awesome. But seriously, I like to be helpful when I can and get to know an interesting group of people.
What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I am looking for a kinship that accepts a casual gamer in their midsts. I'm definately more of a casual player. But I would like to find a group of fun and interesting people to group up with and talk to over the course of playing the game. I bet that describes just about every kinship on here.

Another thing I was wondering is if there are any kinships out there of old AC2 players. I used to play that game (one of the games I played for the longest) and would like to see if there are any out there who played.

Thanks.

Hi All!

I grew up with Tolkien and have worn through several sets of the books in the 30 years since I learned about them. I am excited about getting to experience Middle Earth and enjoying it with other fans. I'm looking for a kinship to help enhance the experience.

Server: Elendilmir

Characters:
Khali - Dwarven Guardian
Musiel - Elven Minstrel

Age: 40 (almost 41! omg I feel SO old!)
Time Zone: Eastern

Play Style:
I solo a lot, but wind up helping other players as much as I can. I love grouping and really enjoy the Dragon raids we had going on Weathertop the last night of Closed Beta. Not a hardcore power leveler, I enjoy exploring and finding out what else the game has to offer. (Hey, we get to explore Middle Earth here, why would you want to miss out on that!) I do enjoy role playing, but not to the exclusion of chatting with other gamers.

Other MMOs: Everquest I & II, SWG

Type of Kinships:
I am looking for a kinship that is not too big and formal so as to lose touch with its members. I like some organization (required events, etc.), but I travel for my job and may be gone for 2-3 weeks at a time, several times a year. Having fun, casual friendships, chatting, helping each other and generally advancing the member characters and guild are what I am looking for. Let me know if you are interested or just send me a tell in game. I like to play with some people from the guild before committing myself. Thanks much!

Server: Meneldor
Character names: Gilolas Elf Hunter, Gilther Elf Lore Master (so far)
Age: 41
Location: Germany (military) +6 from U.S. Eastern timezone
Playstyle: solo, casual teaming
MMO resumè: (Played) EverQuest 2, Star Wars Galaxies, World of Warcraft. (Playing) City of Heroes (in beta for new issue coming out), City of Villians (beta & release)

About me: I'm a Christian. I'm a team player and willing to help folks out. I play LoTRo at least a couple hours 3 or more times a week.

What I'm looking for: A mature, laid-back kinship with which I can socialize and quest I'd also like to find a solid kinship to avoid group leaders that hog all the resources or kick you from group because you don't have quest that match theirs or what they need. I prefer to solo but the spawns for a game like this make it difficult. Moving servers would not be a problem.

Your name, or character name and race (if known): Illeynd (Champion FTM) lvl 10
Age: 38
Preferred server(s), if any. Elendilmir
Location. Toledo Ohio
Playstyle: I am a solo player who loves to talk and enjoy challenges. I often attempt group quest by myself and try to figure a way to beat them inspite of the games intentions. I look to a guild / Kinship (i guess) to have access to information and find interesting things to do. If asked i'm very generous with my time and experiance. I enjoy helping others progress when i'm not working on a specific quest or issue.
MMO games you’ve played: WoW (from release 11/23/04, 4 lvl 60's, 1 70, 1 66, got very bored! lol)
Why kinships should be interested in you. mature experianced MMORPG player here for the long haul. My WoW days are over with the release of their "expansion" (very disappointed)
What kind of kinship you are looking for. I'm open really I play 5 or 6 days a week, I spent my first year in WoW hard core raiding, then the next leveling toons and having fun. I'm thinking now of a more centerist Kinship focused on enjoying this game, leveling, information gathering and disimination and possiblly exploring the end game stuff when it fully materializes.

Please note I'll likly level many different classes to 15 before deciding which to make my main I'll be working Illeynd for a few more days. Send me a mail if you think your guild is a good fit.
