Thread: Parents of Middle Earth - a new kinship on the Riddermark server

Tired of mixing it up with unsupportive, immature players and bad attitudes? Looking for a group that understands that your family and home needs come first? We were too.

If you are a parent, older player, or partnered adult and need a mature network of players, look no further - this is your kin. We welcome couples, single parents, alternative families, and grandparents. No kidding - this is a no-cussing, respectful, inclusive, supportive group of players - with fun, family-friendly communications.

Please contact me via the in-game mail system on the Riddermark world server if you'd like more information or would like to join us. Alternatively, you can apply for membership on our website and we'll contact you.

Best Regards,

Faragrim

We now are a Rank 7 kinship with over 70 players in the kin. For more information about our kin, please visit our webpage - Parents of Middle Earth.

Please contact me, Geezo or Giardia in-game if you are interested in joining the kinship.

Cheers,

Faragrim

Our members range from new parents to experienced grandparents, from MMO veterans to folks new to gaming in general. We are a casual non-elitist group of mature gamers that realize that family comes first and the game is a stress reliever not a stress inducer. We support each other as much as possible wether that be with quest help or crafting support. We have many crafters that enjoy providing services to kin mates. While we're always growing we're not a huge group that individuals disappear into; we are a social group. If this sounds like what you are looking for please stop by our website Parents of Middle Earth.

Any of our officers will be most glad to answer any questions you may have or you may feel free to look me up with any questions you may have about the kin.

Bump! Read above for info about the kinship.

LOTRO is my very first MMO game. I felt insecure starting out, but my kin-mates at Parents of Middle Earth were incredibly supportive, teaching me as we went, and encouraging me to have more confidence. Now I'm happy to return the favor by helping out newer kin-mates with lower-level toons. That's the kind of cooperation valued within the kin. We freely share materials and craft items for each other with no thought of profit. We also go on instances and skirmishes on a regular basis. However, I never have to worry if I need to leave suddenly to care for our two young children or to answer the phone. No one gives me a hard time. If you are interested in a kind, supportive kin, please check out Parents of Middle Earth. I am an officer myself, so feel free to send me a tell in-game if you'd like more information.

Cheers!

I've been a member for a few months now and I have really enjoyed the kinship. Lotro was my first MMO experience and I almost quit because I was tired of all the drama that took place with some of the kins I was a part of. But since joining the kin I have had people who are fun to play with and understand when I have to go afk to change a diaper. There are some excellent players with a lot of MMO experience. I mean, some of these people date back to the days of Zork! The kin has made instances an enjoyable experience, and it is nice to have a (usually) more mature conversation level going on in the kinship chat. If you are someone who has all of Bree on ignore, then you might want to look into The Parents of Middle Earth.

We have a few officers ready to help you if you'd like to join us:

- Faragrim / Faramax / Faraward
- Geezo / Koschei / Tremas
- Celebdriel / Byrs
- Savine
- Cassoway

Or, you can 'Apply to Kinship' on our website and we'll contact you in-game.

I have been with Parents of Middle Earth since it was founded and this has been the absolute best group I've ever been a member of in an MMO. I've played many different games, all the way back to EQ1 when it was shiny and new, but never have I felt as sense of belonging as strong as I do within this kinship. I cannot imagine finding a better group of people to play with and this kinship, more than anything else, is what keeps me wanting to stick with LOTRO (which isn't to say I don't love the game, but rather that PoME is the icing on the proverbial cake).

I really love that everyone understands the demands of raising children and doesn't even bat an eyelash if I have to suddenly go AFK or log off to take care of child-related matters. Also, when it comes to helpfulness I find that our members often go above and beyond, both in crafting and questing matters. I couldn't be happier with my kinship!

Before I started playing LOTRO, I spent some time in a raiding guild in WoW. So I was used to lots of rules, and in-group conflict, and strict time commitments. With a couple kids, it was hard to follow that and still have any fun.

Then, shortly after I started in this game, I came across Parents of Middle Earth. I've been in the kin more than 6 months now, and it's been nothing but great. There is always a bunch of people online, working at all levels of characters. The people are friendly, helpful, and generous with their time. And the whole point of the kin is to be a place where you can say to your group "kid just woke up from a nap, gotta go" and that's ok.

We've had a lot of new people joining lately, and things are lively and active. If it all sounds good to you, look us up in-game. Or go to http://parents.guildlaunch.com/

Parents of Middle Earth is now a Rank 10 kinship - 1-year old and going stronger than ever! To all the kinmembers that have helped build a great kinship and all the Riddermark players that have supported us so far - a big Thank You!

As a reminder, PoME is a kinship for mature players, primarily parents and married players, looking for a social, fun, inclusive kinship that understands the challenges of gaming and family life. Although we are a social kin, we have group runs all the time and offer quest help, crafting, instances and fellowships. This is a no-pressure, mutual respect club that supports all levels of play and expertise.

To join us, please 'Apply to Kinship' on our website or send me a PM with your information and we'll talk in-game.

Cheers,

Fara

I couldn't agree more. A request is scarely out of my mouth and it's met, whether it be for help with a fellowship quest, skirmish, material or other item needed, we each take care of each other. I am honored to be one of them.

I joined this kin a couple of months ago and I'm REALLY glad I did. The people there are very friendly and helpful. Being parents, they're used to dealing with dumb questions and having to go over things again and again and again so I'm not embarrassed to admit that I haven't done a lot of the instances and need adult supervision on them. It's nice to know I can join a fellowship with my kinmates and know I won't get yelled at for screwing up if I make an honest mistake. I'm having a lot more fun playing the game since I joined. There's also a lot of crafting help and sharing.

I am recently coming back and would like to apart of your kin. Tomorrow when I get off work I'm going to create a new character on your server and contact one of your officers if that is okay. Well tomorrow or friday depending on how it takes me to get out of the intro area since I get interuppted at home lol

Welcome back to LOTRO! Thanks for your interest in joining us.

In the meantime, please apply to the kinship on our web page - parents.guildlaunch.com - and be sure to tell us a little about yourself. In addition, please include the name of your new character so that we can look out for you in-game.

Best Regards,

Fara
