Thread: Looking for a Kinship? Post here.

Server: Brandywine
Name/Race/Class/Level: Lindfeld, Level 46 Human Hunter (no alts right now...seems too daunting to start over)
Age: 43
Location: California, USA (GMT-8)--mostly evenings and weekends.
Character Profession: Historian (Master Scholar, with Supreme Master just opened up | Weaponsmith: nothing yet, but I'll be working both scholar and weaponsmith until I'm maxed out).

Playstyle: I mostly solo, with occasional and usually small fellowships. I'm married and I work full time. And although I've been playing a lot recently, there are spousal pressures that will probably cause me to curtail my gameplay somewhat.

Why a Kin should be interested in me: Crafting will probably be my biggest selling point. I'm motivated to max out my crafting skills (weaponsmith, scholar) in order to equip myself properly. But I'd like to be able to crank out production for others in the kin too. Also possibly of note: I'm not trying to rush my character to level as quickly as possible. I'm attempting to make a deep and wide character when it comes to skills/deeds, equipment, and crafting. I can't make the claim that I'm doing all of that just right, but that is my goal. And so, I'm hopeful that, when compared with other Hunters at my level, I'll hold my own.

Why I'm interested in a kinship: Crafting, Raiding, and Socializing. Crafting: I've been burning through the gold buying scholar mats at the AH, and frankly, I'm jealous when I set the "kin only" filter and see how inexpensively some of the items are sold. I want in on that action...and of course, that cuts both ways. Toward that end, I would think that one of the larger kins would be nice. Raiding: I have never participated in a raid, and the thought is a little intimidating. I'd like for someone to show me the ropes when it comes to Raids, and I'd like to get up to speed so that I can be a beneficial member of a raiding group, and not a charity case. Socializing: as I mentioned, sometimes I don't feel much like socializing, but that modifier 'sometimes' means that on other occasions, I'd like to talk to some people, whether it's gameplay talk, political talk (watch out!), cooking, general interest, whatever. You know what else I want? This sounds really nerdy, but I want a sense of belonging with a group of relaxed adults. I'm stealing something I saw in a thread in this forum. Another prospective kinmate said words to this effect: I'm an adult, and I act as such. I'm not the guy to get in a flame war, or to troll the chat channels for sport. At the same time, I hope I'm not old and dull (man yells at cloud).

Summary: I'm looking for a casual, crafting-related, mutually-helpful adult kinship, of a minimum size to support my crafting habit (both inbound and outbound).

Thank you.

(edited to add: yes, my join date is March 12th. However, I've been here before. I signed up in....I think it was 2007, got level 64, I think, with a Guardian. My sons took over that account, stripped my guardian, left him in a ditch, and fenced all his gear. So I can't say that I have a great depth of experience, but it is greater than what's indicated by my new join date).

Server: 'Astelur' on Meneldor, but willing to start a new character on any other server
Location: Pacific US (GMT -8)
Age: 32
Playstyle: Solo or Group, PvE, Crafting, Casual


I haven't played long, having tried LOTRO last year and then having life get in the way. I recently picked it up again.
I'm in no way an MMO veteran: this is the first MMO I've spent more than a month on though I've played a lot of single player RPGs.

I've only played solo so far but feel that's not how a game like this ought to be played. I'm looking for a kinship that has mature players who can help make this game more fun for me. I'm interested both in questing and in crafting and am willing to pay it forward by assisting newer folks as they join up.
I'm not looking for a group with fixed gaming times; life outside of gaming does impact my ability to be online often enough!

Being on a NA server and residing in the UK, it is hard to group consistently, unless I raid at 2am my time.
Will consider server transfer for my two mains at first, just really want to get knee deep in raids / fellowships in the evenings UK time.

MMO games played: A little bit of UO long time ago, LoTRo is the first I play constantly.

What about me: I'm an adult and I espect other in kinship to be adult too. I know I don't have any experience with MMO world in general, so I have to learn a lot. I'm not the kind of person that argue over pointless stuff, I enjoy a good laugh and don't mind jokes. Since I'm new to this MMO world I know nearly nothing about raiding or hardcore endgame. I play for fun and with my pace, I really like enjoying the world I'm playing in. I can follow orders specially when doing stuff I'm not familiar with, I would like to learn how to play in fellowship and do some instances. I have a busy life, work, wife, kid so I will be online on late hours CET.

What kind of kinship I'm looking for: I'm looking for a kinship with mature people, any age, I don't mind. I'm looking for a medium - light RP kinship (elven kinship a plus) because of language barrier but I will try to do my best. A kinship that helps its members to grow is higly appreciated. Prefer an EU kinship for play time. Last, but not least, a kinship that organizes events, I will partecipate if possible due to my RL duties. I could help lower characters to any quest, skirmish, instances even without getting any loot, I'm not playing for that.

What kind of kinship I'm NOT looking for: People or kinships with names like "$$Daboss$$" or "PoWnZor" similar, that would kill immersion for me. A kinship that forces its members to leveling or to have the best gear possible, I would like to enjoy the game. No raiding kinship.

Hope this is enough, feel free to ask question and thanks for reading

Ciao, scusa il ritardo con cui rispondo ma ho visto solo ora la tua richiesta :P

Leggo che sei interessato a Laurelin ma posto comunque: Aiwenár Rindë una kin RP italiana su Withywindle di rank massimo con casa di kin. Se ti fa piacere "passare a trovarci" su Withy sarai il benvenuto C'è un thread mio qui sotto che spiega un pò com'è la kin se vuoi dare un'occhiata, ma fondamentalmente siamo un gruppo di persone tranquille che si vogliono semplicemente godere il gioco e fare un pò di RP ogni tanto.
Fammi sapere, siamo a disposizione

Hi,
We are a fun & friendly kin, with players from the US, EU & Aus... what I like most about Vigilance is that there are no dramas!

If this sounds up your street, check out our website http://www.vigilancekin.guildlaunch.c om

Elph


Vigilance of Meneldor
We are a Medium sized Kinship in the MMORPG - Lord of the Rings Online. We are a Rank 10 Kinship located on the Meneldor Server. We consider ourselves a Casual Mature Kinship with a focus on end game content. Most of our Members are 20-40 yrs old with lives, families, jobs, kids and real life responsibilities. With that said, we're all here to have a good time and enjoy all aspects LOTRO has to offer. There is never any pressure to play at given times or to complete any specific tasks. We schedule events, but no one is obliged to go. Vigilance is not an elitist kinship.



Vigilance Constitution

1. Have fun! We are all here to enjoy our time in game as much as possible. If someone is not enjoying their time as a member of Vigilance they should contact an officer to discuss the situation, whether the problem is another member’s actions/behavior or the kin direction as a whole.
2. Loot Smart! Take only what you need unless everyone in the group agrees to open roll and try and keep loot distribution as equitable as possible. Roll only on class items for your own class (unless the required class is not present).
3. Guidelines for new recruits: To become a full member of Vigilance, our officers are looking for recruits who are friendly and active. Any recruit is welcome and encouraged to join groups runs appropriate to their level. Grouping with us helps us get to know you and usually fast tracks your promotion. If grouping is not an option (usually the case with low level recruits) then we are looking for someone who both introduces themselves on the kinsite and joins in the in game chat/discussion. Some combination of these factors and 2+ weeks in the kin leads to

Name: Aglecthon, Champion, level 11

Server: Snowbourn

Gameplay time: Friday, Saturday or Sunday afternoons (depending when I can play), so I may not be able to participate to all community events.

Age: 15

Location: Quebec, Canada

Playstyle: I have been playing solo up to date trying to level up a bit, but I really like playing with other players to complete missions, since I have just started playing about a month ago and do not know all the tricks.

Why choose me: I like helping other people while playing, even if I have to abandon my mission for a while to do so.

What kind of kinship I like: I like kinships in which more experienced players pass down there knowledge to the unexperienced ones (like me) and where everyone tries to help everyone else in some fashion.

Please try to contact me in game if possible. If not contact me on forum (name: Agent13).

I am a lvl 75 Captain, LM, RK and a few lower characters and am looking for a kinship/group of players who are active and participate in Raids,Skirmish,Instances. I play on Gladden and am on all times through-out the day. I am not a kid and want to join a group/kinship with adults.

Name: Omeganaut, characters will try to be close to that name while still being origin-appropriate

Server: Undecided.

Gameplay time: Evenings and nights about 8-12 U.S. Atlantic time

Age: College-aged

Location: Virginia, U.S.

Playstyle: I am enjoying simpler classes like Hunter, Guardian, Champion and Captain. The other free classes I've tried weren't as much fun.

Experience: I tried DDO, but left because it was a bad compromise between D&D and MMO. I played Runescape way back. I don't have much experience with MMO's, but I do have lots with solo RPG's

Why choose me: I would love to help with crafting, grouping, and anything else. I wanna experience the best of what this game has to offer, and it always pays off to help and be helped by others.

What kind of kinship I like: A kinship that is okay with F2P-ers, and one that has a lot of active players (if not active on a whole group scale)

Your name, or character name and race (if known): Veridir, elf hunter, 75.
Age: 21
Preferred server(s), if any: Vilya
Location. (Timezone preferences if any, state/country, etc.): Oregon. PST/PDT depending on time of year, but depending on the day of the week, you might find me online at any given time in any given 24 hour period.

Playstyle: Solo thus far, pretty casual (I've been playing off and on since beta, and I only reached level 75 on my first character last week). Looking to learn a bit about PvE, raids and some endgame stuff, but still casual.

MMO games you’ve played: None, really.

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: I'm pretty laid back, so I'm not going to get worked up over too many things. I try and be pretty helpful if I'm able to, whether with crafting, quests or anything else.

What kind of kinship you are looking for: Looking for one that caters towards casual players. I won't be able to guarantee being online at certain times each week, for instance. Certainly not interested in one that's based purely on endgame or raiding. Looking for one with folks who're willing to help me learn more about the game and MMO's in general. Would prefer a well established group with lots of members. Also looking for some people who know a bit about Tolkien's works, so I can get into lore discussions now and again, as I'm a Tolkienite or whatever we're called these days.

Level 58 hunter elf looking for a kinship to join on the Brandywine server. I am from the USA and in the Central Time Zone. I play daily and am currently located within Lothlorien. Just an FYI, I have gained friend standing with the Galadhrim and have access to Caras Galadhon.

I play the game for enjoyment mostly but I do like the raids and skirmishes. In consideration of the raids and skirmishes I would like the kinship to have a fairly decent amount of lvl 50+ members so that the higher level skirmishes can be done.

Please PM me or send an email here to my profile or in world.

Thank you for your consideration.

Server: Landroval
Name/Race/Class/Level: Adanaranth/Elf/Guardian/49... (Adandarian in my main lvl 50 hunter, I rarely play it anymore)
Age: 30's
Location: Nevada, USA (Pacific time)--mostly evenings and weekends.
Character Profession: Tailor (plus forester and prospector)

Playstyle: Casual,I mostly solo, and have done a couple small fellowships with 1 other person when randomly invited. (Would be interested in other styles, if someone can hold my hand *it's scary out there*)

Why a Kin should be interested in me: I have no idea! I am a nice person, and sometimes I'm funny. I'm laid back and like to chat (and sometimes not). I also like to help other people out when I can with quests or crafting. Pick me, pick me!

Why I'm interested in a kinship: Having people to chat with and do quests and deeds together. I am a fairly new player, maybe about 9 months and this is my first game ever, so I am still learning. I am not looking for a full on lets RP or meet at required times and all that, because I cant commit to being on all the time. I am also not a big fan of the preachy, you aren't doing that "right" types, I'm just here to have fun.
Im usually on in evenings and weekends, but sometimes im not on for days or weeks at a time. I have never participated in a raid or a full on fellowship, and the thought is a little scary but I would love to learn and have others to help out.Basically and easy going fun group, that does stuff and chats would be nice.

Server: Crickhollow
Character: Kicharion, Elf LM, currently lvl 24
Age: 36
Location: USA, Eastern Time. My 'weekend' is Monday and Tuesday, I log on for hours during those days. On other days, I usually only play for short periods of time in the evening.
Char profession: Scholar

Playstyle: awkward ;-) I've never played an MMO before. I love LOTRO and I would like to enjoy the whole experience, including group play, but I am kinda anxious to play a raid, as I have no exp whatsoever. I have joined some fellowships though, when other players asked for help finishing a quest. I am pretty laid back and always willing to help someone out with questing, crafting or whatever.

I am looking for a relaxed, mature kin on the Crickhollow server.

Hey guys. Founder here that is trying to come back. My characters are all on Elendilmir. Been playing since 2007 on and off... Seem to quit when I don't have a good group of people to play with. From memory I have a few different characters scattered accross different levels. I believe my highest is a 64 hunter. Also have a 45ish Warden and 51 Champion, as well as LM. The hunter and champion USED to be capped. In SoA at least!

So, really just looking for a really active group of people. Laid back preferably... like to have fun. I'd like to make some friends to keep me interested in the game and make me stay. I'd also like to do a little end game stuff if I can get my characters up there. Raids, PVP, etc. Not looking for a bunch of drama or kids.

I do have an outside life away from this game, but I do manage to get a fair amount of time in playing. At least 2 hours a day, usually after 10-11PM EST. More on the weekends.

So, just mainly looking for a large, very active kin that has a variety of people... people to level with, and people to do endgame stuff with when I get there! I really hope LOTRO still has a good enough population for this!

The main character I am leveling right now is named Linram. On Elendilmir. Shoot me a tell or mail me.

I am looking for a kinship to join and be a part of. I am team oriented and would like to find a group that has a website and a calendar of events and uses them. I am stationed in Japan and can show up for events that are scheduled Sun thru Thur from 4pm to 9pm pacific. I am also interested in doing endgame content as a rune keeper with other FUN, mature, reliable Kin once I learn my way through Middle Earth which from all the expansions and maps I've seen on the LOTRO website appears to be pretty large. I just don't know which server to start on.

Thanks in advance

Character: Kemendil, Elf Champion
Age: Late 20s
Server: Snowburn
Location: CET (Spain)
Availability: Mostly weekend warrior (due to job), I use to connect a daily hour or two in the middle of the week.
Playstyle: Instances and Raids; I like deeds and other collections too, solo or group.
What do I offer to kinship: Although where I come from, Withywindle, didn't offer many opportunities for raid instances, I'm a decent geared DPS and Tank. I'm very disciplined when it comes to group play and, the most important thing, I come with a Statue of Draigoch for the Kinship house :P.
What kind of kinship you are looking for: I'm looking for a kinship that's able to call its own raids, but also be able to call non-trendy instances like Annúminas, Great Barrow, Inn of the Forsaken, etc. Jovial and cheerful, yet mature, I'd like that we share items we don't need or have plenty, and craft for free between us. Oh, and I'm looking for an English speaking kinship, I like to know what people are saying when they write, and unfortunately I don't speak many different languages.

Note: I'm going on holiday and will be returning at mid-june, so I'll postpone a decision on kinship until then.

I've been playing Lotro since launch on and off. Resubbed again and I see empty lands, made me... well bored.
Thats why you reading this. Need a casual friendly kingship to have fun again. I like solo play but without friends/group
lotro really does not offer much. Love grouping, helping people when I can. I'm not a hardcore player, hate being hardcore !

I can be online anytime, love my home-office job I enjoy crafting, PvE, raid and monster play. A side note, cant RP ! Believe me, I tried but no. So if you're RP kingship, skip to next post now. Well infact you may skip to next post now because i'm done writing =)

Ah by the way, have 3 active alts; cook (33), farmer(26) and scholar(44) (all supreme).
See you in-game...

Hi, longtime gamer but first-time LOTRO player seeks mature and dedicated LOTRO kinship with emphasis on clear communication.

Age: 34
Preferred server(s): Browsing the forums I've heard good things about Landroval, but am open to any.
Location: PDT (GMT -7)
Playstyle: I would prefer to solo at first while I learn the game. It takes me a long time to get tired of even menial content and so while I love endgame play, I'm not likely to lose interest without it. I am definitely RP-friendly!
MMO games you’ve played: Most recently Wakfu (innovative but appears to be dying). Also Fantasy Earth Zero and FFXI. Dabbled in a few others.
Why kinships should be interested in you: I believe in the importance of building community and cultivating communication online as well as off, and in an MMO environment that value is something I hope to help build and contribute, not merely passively enjoy. And I tell awful jokes. And I like to talk about food! And beer. Currently I am F2P but hope to be convinced to plunk down VIP bucks after a thorough test run. I'm a good and reliable fellowship-mate with a solid and speedy connection, and a beast of a little gaming laptop.
What kind of kinship you are looking for: As stated above, communication and organization. Mutual respect. Open-mindedness to new ways of thinking and patience for new players.

Don't have a name or class picked out yet, I have my leanings but would prefer to wait and pick a kinship first, then help fill a need.

Cheers, PM at your leisure and thanks for reading.

Location. (Timezone preferences if any, state/country, etc.): I am GMT (+00:00)
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 prefer to play in a group, but can solo as well.
MMO games you’ve played: LOTRO, League of Legends, Heroes of Newerth.
Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: I am almost always very cheerful, always up for helping new players and always up for a chat

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.): RP/Casual. Light PvP

MMO games you’ve played: I've played LOTRO on and off (mostly on) since it was released Ftp (actually got it three days before in a box set, not realizing it was Ftp.) I played Runescape for two years through 4-5th grade (I think I may have turned OFF more people by saying this.) I've also played a little known game called Queville for several years, becoming the co-founder of one of the largest clans as well as a public enemy against THE largest clan. LOTRO is the first MMO of it's genre I've ever played.

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 very outgoing and friendly player. I can be very energetic when it comes to advertising the kin. In past kins I have been extremely loyal, being the last player along with one other person in the Legion of Doom after we started going down hill (attempting to recruit more players). After that, I stayed with a second kin, Ursa Clan, for several months until that one fell.

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I'm looking for a Casual RP kin that has light PvP. I enjoy the kinmates to be friendly and outgoing, and not at all serious. My dream kin is a full hobbit kin, but I have yet to find one of those. I have thought about starting one up.

Playstyle.: I do a lot of solo questing, but wouldn't mind helping out others with their quests or to have someone help me out if I ever needed it. I like to sometimes join a fellowship and do the Great Barrows instance (I'm only in Bree, so that's the only one I've done so far.) I'm semi-new so I'm still learning and trying stuff out.

MMO games you’ve played: I tried WoW once. I played AQWorlds for a little bit. I used to play Free Realms before it went downhill, lol. I've played Pirates of the Caribbean Online as well.

Why kinships should be interested in you. What do you offer kinships?: I like to help out whenever I can even though I still don't know much about LotRO.

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I will let you know that I am a Christian, so a kinship that has mature players but one that knows how to have fun without being offensive, blasphemous or vulgar is what I'm looking for. I love to give, so I wouldn't mind helping out with quests, instances, or giving away crafting items. I also like working on deeds, so I wouldn't mind helping out others to finish their deeds. I've only completed the skirmish tutorial, so I'm probably not good at that, lol. At least not until I work on it some more. I think I'm more into fellowshipping for instances. I work well solo or in a group. I would like a kinship that makes me feel welcomed. I've been in guilds from other games where I've felt ignored simply because I was new or didn't chat much. It would be disheartening when I would come online and nobody say Hi, but they would to the next person who came online because they "knew" them. Or not even including me into their events. If your going to be a leader of a guild, you should at least acknowledge all members fairly. I don't chat much but sometimes I will chat non-stop lol. Just depends on my mood and what I'm doing in-game at the moment. I'm currently level 25, so a kinship that has members of all levels would be great, so that I could help out the low levels, and eventually do mid-high level stuff as well. I also do not want to be a part of a kinship that gets mad if your not online 24/7 or if you decide you don't want to do the event for that week or something. Life happens and it's not always about playing games. :P Well, I guess that's it for now.

Thank you and God bless!

I was thinking about possibly getting back into LOTRO.

I have a founder account with a lifetime sub. I have gotten a few characters to max level, done many raids, been in a few kins, made many new friends along the way.

After a while there was a fallout and I have not logged in in over a year. But I am hoping I can start new, re-level and make some new friends.

I'm looking for a mature kin, RP is nice but not necessary. A guilt free 'if I cant make it' type of kin. I am open to any server as I will start from zero anyway. Not looking to join a kin just to grow their numbers or for power leveling, but to socialize, explore and enjoy middle earth with cool peoples..

I am located in Florida, EST time zone. I play when time permits, it can be early mornings, late nights, prevening...Sometimes for long periods, sometimes not. I am a married guy with 2 kids... That should explain it all.

Please send me a PM if you have a kin you think I may fit into

Thanks!

I finish my first year of college in two days so I’ll have plenty of time. I’ve recently downloaded LOTRO on my laptop but I can only last up to an hour without stressing out due to it lagging (my laptop’s a bit ####, ahaha). I also have it downloaded on my home computer and it runs amazingly well on that but my mother also uses it. She has a job that keeps her busy between 10am – 3pm the latest. She’s never on it for ages and I tend to stay awake till about 4am so I’ll be on quite a lot. I also stay at my boyfriend’s for about 5 days the most but he’s going to try and download LOTRO on his computer for me so if that works, all is good. He also plays WoW so it’s not like he’ll be expecting me to sit with him and watch movies. Bit of a gamer couple here.

Playstyle:
I prefer solo when I can’t find any groups but when I can find groups; I prefer them to be around the same level as me. I also like it to be more casual.

MMO games you’ve played:
WoW, Runescape, DDO. (I used to play these, not anymore.)

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?:
Even though I seem young, I’m mature for my age. I do swear but I can stop myself for those who don’t like it. I also don’t stupidly swear like constantly saying the F word in every sentence I say. I don’t start random #### or argue over pathetic things. I’ll treat all other members properly and never insult or say anything bad about them. And I listen well to instructions and I’m not afraid to ask for help if it’s needed.

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters):
I'm looking for a kinship where it’s fun yet serious. Too serious ruins it for me and it makes it seem like work instead of a way to escape reality for a while. I’m also looking for one that’s mature but can still have a sense of humour. I don’t like immature people, they annoy me and I can’t work well with them. I do try but it’s very unlikely I’ll survive even an hour with them. And on the humour side, I’m looking for a kinship where you can have a few jokes and banter. I’m British and I’ve pretty much been brought up on banter, so it’s a little hard to just suddenly stop having it. And a kinship where its members help other members out is a definite must have. It’s plain ignorance to not.

There we go. Hope it’s alright. :3

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

Well, like I said again, I am a hardcore roleplayer. What I am looking for and offering is Roleplay and fun. I am always helpful (if time willing) and I am also a social bunny so chitchatting is also a good thing of mine ^^

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I am looking for a friendly, social, helpful and of course a Roleplay guild. I am someone who enjoys some good roleplay and I expect the same thing from the guild. I'm a guildie for life once I found the guild that is most suited to what I look from a guild.

so lemme know if interested, if not...well then don't wahaha

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: A fun, laid back, and active person. I enjoy playing the games but I enjoy the socializing aspect of it twice as much. I could go on and elaborate but these 2 sentences sum me up pretty much.

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): Active and social kinship. One with activities would be nice too. Any sort of ACTIVE kinship would be nice AS LONG AS they speak English.

I represent at least 2 players.

We are experienced at LOTRO but are looking to start new characters on new servers for reasons that are our own. We are most interested in any kind of instance play (skirm, classic and mostly raids). We are in the EST (although i will be in CST for some time). We will likely only be able to commit one night a week to the game so we're looking for something long term and casual. Both of us are mature players aged 25 and 26.

We are clever, fun players who are able to follow instructions well and who work well with people. depending on our schedules we may or may not find that we have lots of crafting time. mostly we are interested in getting the most of the game and it's end game content.

This may be edited with further details in the future.

Your name, or character name and race: I go by Kaelci and Jallyce, Elf and Human respectively.

Age: I am 25

Preferred server(s): I am currently on Nimrodel, though I don't mind rerolling on another server. I just chose the recommended server when I first logged in. I wasn't too sure how the servers worked, if there were specific RP or PVE etcetera servers. If there are specifics, I wouldn't mind joining an RP server. I'm not an RP'er but I prefer that sort of environment.

Location: I am located GMT 10+ in Australia. I don't mind if I'm with US, UK, or whoever though...

Playstyle: I like playing solo, immersing myself in the world of my character. I don't mind grouping up but sometimes I feel I'm disadvantaging other people because I actually read the quest things and am a bit slow. I'm not one for raid-type things though, I don't feel confident enough to do that sort of thing. I like finishing allllll the content I possibly can.

MMO games you’ve played: WoW, SWTOR, Aion

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 friendly person!!

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I'm looking for a social kinship. I want to meet new people, I want to talk to new people, make new friends in this wonderful game. I'm NOT looking for hardcore kinships that rush rush rush through everything. I'm a bit shy at first when it comes to meeting new people, but as I get to know you all, I'll come out of my shell.

Hi guy's right now im playing a dwarf guardian and im enjoying the game so far but i would really like some ppl to team up with. I'm from city of heroes where a lot of ppl generally team up to lvl so im looking for others who also enjoy the same. I'm 30 years old on the east coast server in the US. I'm a nice guy and i do not use profanity so a kin with ppl who do not would be great. You don't have to be an old fart like me just yah know a mature kin :P Oh and i don't have any expansions yet but i am vip right now. But if i get into the game enough i will eventually buy or use tp to get them. Hope to hear from someone soon! Oh and my guardians name is griam on elendilmir.

Hello to all that read this my name in the game is Wilstefar, who is a hunter from the Shire. I am fairly new to this game and have leveled my character to level 23 but know am looking for a kinship to join. Will help supply wood and leathers to the Kinship if needed. Love a Kinship that does not take the game to seriously and excepted the impossible. I do not know how to write these things, Hope to hear from someone soon.

I'm the type of person that wants to go through the games quests, and RP both in typed chat, and voice chat while doing so, and I was wondering if there are any Kins, or other players that feel the same. I love the world of Middle Earth, and really want to immerse myself in it, along with others. I am on Brandywine, but would transfer if there was a kin that would fit my play style, as i have been looking for a kin like that, for quite some time.

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: I'm easy going, friendly, helpful and mature, Geez, it sounds like I'm writing a personal ad. A bad personal ad.

What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): Active, social and casual. As I said above it's difficult for me to adhere to a particular schedule, so I'm not looking for anything that has "mandatory Tuesday night raid" or anything like that.

I would very much like a kin that is active RPwise as I join RP servers for a reason.
