Thread: Looking for a Kinship? Post here.

Hi,

Server: Gladden
Main Character: 41 Guardian

I'm looking for a friendly and kind kinship that is at a minimum RP friendly and adult/mature oriented.
I'm a casual player now (used to play this for hours/days on end) and just looking to enjoy the gameworld now, have some fun, make new friends.

I can't promise I'll play everyday. It's more like, I may play for a few months, then focus on other things and then return again to play some more. I can say for sure that I will keep playing my character for the lifetime of the game.

I'd like to focus more on having casual fun and social interaction than on hardcore gameplay. I don't care for players who take the game so seriously they freak out if you don't do something the way they like.

My long-term intention is to play through the entire main storyline as new expansions come out even if takes years to do so.

I will probably always have this account until the game finally shuts down.

My ideal RP kinship would have a website and some kind of creative storyline going on that I can dovetail into. My minimum would simply be an RP friendly kinship populated by thoughtful kind people.

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a kinship that is casual and is full of cool, level headed folks. I really enjoy MMO's, but my experience is that WoW and SWG have been overrun by rude, impatient and petulant people. This does not make for fun gaming.

I shall follow the format of the OP, if it please you.

Your name, or character name and race (if known): Gabriel. Character = Aeryndas, Level 23 Hobbit Burglar. (First LoTRO toon)

Age: 27

Preferred server(s): Only the one toon on Silverlode, am open to suggestions though.

Location: Manitoba, Canada. Timezone is CST. Though I should mention that my work requires that I work evenings some days, and day hours at other times. I am usually free 3-4 days a week though, so I will be around to contribute often enough.

Playstyle: Solo, group, PvE. I'm not hardcore into stat math or flawless raid performance. While I would love to learn about these subjects, I am weary of a kinship which requires that you are already top notch or has little patience. Rather I am looking for one with cool people who will help me become a better player and a contributing member to their kinship. I am interested in bringing my character to endgame, and would enjoy some good company in that process. I can go either way on RP, it's always fun, but so is just gaming out.

MMO's I've played: Asheron's Call (back in the day!), FFXI, SWG, WoW. Always as a casual player though.

Why kinships should be interested in you:
-I am dedicated to finding and creating an awesome playing experience with some other gamers. I am not possessed of a terrible ego or prone to frustration. Pretty even keel in that sense.
-I LOVE to game out. For hours. I also like to help, meaning I will craft, farm, dance or anything else I can do to make the experience a better one.
-I will take advice when given, and offer it when sought.
-I am a friendly dude. I pretty much like people. Even distant, unknown interwebz people.

What kind of kinship you are looking for:
-Casual in the sense of little pressure. I can and will be hardcore IF I know how. If I don't know how and catch flak for it, I won't be having any fun, and then there is zero point in playing.
-Educational, meaning willing to help me with stats, questions, offer advice on rotations or skills, etc.
-Full of cool people with cool personalities, or people with something to offer that is more than just the game grind. Talk to me of Tolkein or Star Wars or whatever else, even IRL stuffs! Srsly. Anything is an open forum with me, and it would be cool to find some others like that.

So to sum up, I would like to find a mature, open kinship which emphasizes fun, cooperation, good gaming and is willing to help a LoTRO semi-n00b get his bearings.

Character's name and race
Maegliriel - Elf


Age
I honestly don't know much about at what age does an elf transits to the next 'stage', as in adolescent to adulthood for example. She's an adult, but a very young one in elven terms.


Preferred server
Landroval is the server I'm in.


Location
GMT(Portugal) I'm capable of staying up till the very early hours of the morning, 2-3 AM tops(9-10pm EST).


Playstyle
I'm mostly a solo RPer but I will gladly help in dungeons and other events should I be able to do so(time, level, etc.) with the exception of PvP, never been a fan of it. Role-playing is my passion and one of the main reasons why I joined Lotro, although I'm aware of my limited knowledge in Tolkien's lore.


MMO games you’ve played
More like which MMO I -didn't- played that came out lately!
Let's see, all the MMOs I played so far that I can pull from the top of my head... WoW, Aion, Runes of Magic, Allods, Guild Wars 2, Dungeon and Dragons + DnD: Neverwinter, Vindictus, Age of Conan: Unchained, Perfect World, and many, many others but that I didn't really dedicated any serious time with... and yes, I have no life.


About myself
Well, for starters I like to help people, its one of the main reasons why I picked a Minstrel as my main.
As far as my English grammar goes I -know- that I'm not terrible but I try to type fast and sometimes... ok, many times, I press Enter before checking for any misspells. I would use the excuse that I'm not a native speaker but to be honest I've seen plenty of non-native people who write and speak English quite well.
As far as behavior goes, I like to leave a good impression. Its rare to happen but if some hiccups happen from my part, I'm capable of admitting it and apologizing.

As I mentioned before, I'm limited in my knowledge on Tolkien's lore but I know enough to get by. Tips are always welcome as I want to make my RP good for myself and others.


What kind of kinship am I looking for
I'm looking for a kinship who focus mostly on medium-heavy RP. However, this doesn't excludes other events such as dungeons, crafting and just chatting with people in guild chat or maybe even help their toons OOCly. Another important thing for me is its activity - In the past, I've joined certain guilds in MMOs, only to find them dead during most of the day and bursting with life later at night, right on top of my bed-time. It wasn't thrilling. That being said, I'm aware that people have lives and that my time-zone can be a slight issue.

I should say that my character is -not- a heroine or military type of sorts, she seeks to lead a simple life... as far as 'simple' goes on Middle-Earth.

Looking for an active, dependable Kinship on Nimrodel.

Will give and expect help when needed.

Online at random times during 9am-1am GMT.

Hi all!

First, thanks kindly to all the active kinship recruiters who peruse this thread. I appreciate your time in offering us homeless vagabonds a chance at refuge in this (virtual) wilderland.

Okay, so using the template in the OP...

Your name, or character name and race (if known):

Dyjia, Man, Captain, 68
Jorje, Dwarf, Guardian, 22
(I have more alts, but these are the two I'm primarily playing right now)

Age: 30something

Preferred server(s), if any.: Landroval

Location.: EST/GMT-5

Playstyle.:

I am 'casual' and pretty much play when whim and time allows. I love social interaction and enjoy the creative endeavors of the community on online games. I can load up Skyrim if I want to solo and be alone, so I definitely prefer a kin who gets together every so often.

MMO games you’ve played:

I am an avid Steam gamer and have accounts with several MMOs I visit from time to time. My husband is also a gamer and plays Lotro.

Why kinships should be interested in you.:

I am a Lifetime VIP who stopped playing Lotro regularly a couple years ago. I enrolled in a free online course this summer about literature & online games via Coursera, which uses Lotro as a study tool. Figured this would be a great time to jump back into the saddle before my class begins!

I am a married homemaker currently expecting our first child's arrival in a few months (so hardcore gaming is out the window). I'm happy to buddy up with a *social, casual, family style* kinship and can offer myself as another cool person to hang out with online. I'm open to dabbling in all in-game activities - RP, group/raid, PvMP, crafting, deeding, etc.

What kind of kinship you are looking for.:

Smallish/medium sized, family style, very friendly to casual play but not barren of people to chat to, has an event night now and then, has an online presence somewhere (forums/blog/whatever), embraces a variety of in-game activities, and it would be extra cool to be kinned with other mommies and/or multigamers!


Thanks for checking me out. Please shoot me a PM if I sound like a good fit. Hope you have a great day~

Hello!

LOTRO and I go way back yet I never stuck around due to lack of interest. I think it's because I never had that true feeling of 'kinship' with anyone. There wasn't really anything keeping me here.

I'm hoping to do a clean start, hopefully with a kinship that helps me get more involved in the world.

What I'm looking for in a kinship:
A social friendly place where you can just chat casually, hopefully with some people that are ocassionally willing to party up. I was an avid roleplayer some years ago, but I don't think I have the dedication to do that now. I wouldn't mind light RP though. I have a full-time job, and a busy schedule around that, so I won't be able to play for long or many hours. At best 2 hours on mon/wed evening, and depending on my social life friday and the weekends...

What I can offer:
Fun and friendly with casual talk and light RP. Always willing to help out or support others. Just looking for a good time. Other games I play are Dota2 (also team-based) and L4D (shooter, team-based). LOTRO is the only MMO I've consistently played, but I have tried out many others. WoW, Maplestory, Ragnarok and a bunch of others I forgot already.

Age and location
I'm 25, female and live in Netherlands, GMT+1. My main play time will be in the evenings, from 20-23~ish on monday/wednesday. Friday if I have no plans and probably more time during the weekends.

I've convinced a buddy of mine to come play along, his profile fits mine too. So you'll be getting two for the price of one. 8-)

Hoping there's a fun kinship out there that is willing to take me/us on!

Hi,

I use to play but quit for GW2. However, my 10 year old daughter wanted to play so I got back into it. I work from home as a graphic artist so I have free time throughout the day usually. She will play with me in the evenings EST for a couple of hours. I'd like to find a kin that is ok with her age. I limit her chat features in general but would still like something kid friendly.

Thanks
Slipikins

Hi everyone,
I am thinking of a new Kinship.

Age
in so-called real life (not confirmed by Canon texts): 42

Preferred server
Withywindle

Location
Lithuania. Playing (mostly) 18-22 o'clock Lithuanian time on working days; some 15-23 o'clock on holidays...with breaks for some things like eating or taking a bath...

Playstyle
Mostly - solo player that is still learning how to live in the Lore. One who may ask lots of things, like "which status is better on this weapon?" or "how do I get to Allmighty Chicken if I see no road to it?". Never took part in any PvP and not intending to do it. Also, I am not roleplayer: could not write "my 6000 years old family history" like some Tolkien fan wrote in our forums.
I may require help with regions I feel kind of bad while in: Angmar and Moria and in fellowship quests.
Instances, skirmishes: knowledge is very poor and I mostly feel myself lost there.
Since I am weaponsmith, I would gladly craft any type of weapon I can to anybody in the kin. I also do enjoy situations when I can defend somebody, be it Eregion (had superb time with one Dwarf: he crafted, I protected him) or grumpy Angmar.
My downside is that sometimes I may feel lost and make too radical decisions like "I will never, never never ever visit ANgmar unless I am lvl.99!". I do dislike Angmar and Moria. Since I am free player, I am limited to purchases I have made (and yes, I do love to make alts).

MMO games you’ve played
Runescape, Istaria.

About myself
Champion who made female champion clones in Withywindle. One who loves to craft and has few regions (Evendim, Eregion) where I could relax just gathering metal. A person that is not into big challenges: a quest for me is better than a skirmish.Since I live in Lithuania - English is not my native. if I type fast, I can make some typos and mistakes. And I do love writing my experiences in my own blog.

What kind of kinship am I looking for
I would prefer little to medium one (having 1500 members of which 100 are online and no one answers simple question is not too good) where every member knows another. I would prefer Kinship that had existed for some time...and not over-expanded (quality over quantity). If joining Kinship requires to do something – I may do it.
I do hope Kinship would be active in Angmar/Moria regions and be able to help me (as well as others) with fellowship quests or instances there.

That ends my introduction. Hope somebody will respond...

Name: Vaerlyn

Level, Race, Class: New player only been playing this last week, just subbed am a level 21 minstrel.
