Discussion: ~Sanctuary~ Casual, cake-crazy, fun-loving

Greetings Elendilmir!

The crazy and fun-loving kinship Sanctuary hopes that you’re enjoying your adventures in Middle Earth and welcomes you to join us in making LOTRO a more fun place. We’ve been around since pre-beta and love to explore Middle Earth and all it has to offer, whether that be end-game instances, drunken freeze-tag, chicken runs, turning lowbies into 65s, 'moors Mondays' or just enjoying each others company, we're here to have fun!

We can be ‘defined’ as a casual kinship that is end-game focused. We love running instances whether they are classic, skirmish, or top-of-the-line, and learning, dying, and winning together in as fun of a way as we can. As the game and we have progressed, we've started tackling the end-game content with more vigor lately and we always want more meat shields to throw at....I mean more soldiers to stand with us! If you're willing to learn, we'll work with you to make yourself into a hero you can be proud of, no matter your level.

If you’d like to give us a look, please check out our website: www.guild-sanctuary.com Make sure to read our Pledge and if you like what you see, post in our LOTRO NAO recruitment section after reading the READ THIS FIRST thread. If you have any further questions, feel free to PM me, post on this thread, or on our forums. Thanks for your interest and no matter what, we hope you have an awesome time exploring and enjoying Middle Earth!

P.S. If you’d like to see some of our old exploits, our old Sanctuary thread on these boards is here. We have since changed leaders and websites and want to make sure you can find us... but not our cake stash, that's ours! :P If you'd like to visit our old website, it's here.

P.P.S Our new website is currently in the final testing phases, so if you have issues/feedback/suggestions, please let us know! We want to make it as good as possible for everyone.

P.P.P.S. Our new website is fully operational and we'd love to have you stop by and hopefully join our group of cake-lovers and LOTRO fun-havers. Grammar we be good in.

And one more super important thing...bring cake!!! But hide it from the hobbits so the rest of us can have some!

We are awesome and fantastic! Pay attention to us and join our adventures! I will give you cookies!

Wait, no. I won't give you cookies. Cuch will give you cookies! And half of his cake ration! He's such a caring fellow, isn't he?

Really looking forward to the chicken runs and Middle Earth Olympics!

Sanctuary is having a birthday! We will be celebrating our 6th anniversary this week with various events, such as chicken races and trivia contests. All are welcome!

Friday Nov 11th
Chicken Race at the Shire race track 8:30pm EST - all chickens welcome!
Trivia contest in Bree following the races

Watch for other events this weekend!

Our 6th birthday was a blast! Chicken runs and a jam session in Bree are always a great way to spend an evening! Lots of brews and pipeweed to go around, and the One-Man Team even showed up for a 6-clone interpretation of "The Final Countdown". Looking forward to many more good times with our newest members!

Mentioned in another thread, but our lowbie long fellowship is kicking off on 1/7/12 in the morning US time. We have quite a number signed up with multiple toons. Let us know if you are interested!

We'll be kinda/sorta spamming /ooc and /glff when pulling together groups, if you would like to tag along for individual instances.

We have had a lot of interest in our Long Fellowship, and are still welcoming new members of all levels!

We are also planning another chicken run on 1/21!

Sanctuary's "The Long Fellowship" (TLF) is alive and kicking!

Currently planning a Rift run late May/early June and even though Fornost was taken down just as we were on level to give it a go, we will be jumping in as soon as it's back up and running.

Come join us to level quietly on your own, participate in groups like TLF, 3-man Isengards, RoF, Foundry, explore The Great River and even make a run at Draigoch, our current goal for "big kid stuff." We'll even help you with Slayer deeding if you bring enough cake!

Sanctuary also has a full range of crafters!

First, I would like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who took the time and made the effort to support this event..great turnout and thank you to our 2 Race Marshalls, Kath and Nifti!

We fielded 8 runners in Raid Mode, 2 minute stagger starts. Me (Asfil), Saeg, Pad, Tael, Arn, Hurthar (can't remember main name, have to check), Sparky and Gail. 7/8 finished in record time, one conceded.

First place was Hurthar crossing the line in 18 minutes, second Sparky in 21 minutes and Saegy third with 25 minutes. I just kept smiling as people crossed the finish line, awesome job by all!

Screenies will be posted later for your viewing pleasure.
Had a short Kin House party afterwards, got drunk as skunks and ended up with either no pants, shoes or leggings somewhere! I found myself on Giants Needle in MM. ./shudder

Laurelin fielded 9 runners, 2 Marshalls and as far as I know 5 or 6 finished. They made it truly a family event with two children competing. Aalff's 7 year old daughter ran on her very own character, Lasellina and 4 year old boy crossed the finish line with mum steering! Very nice touch.

I am delighted that we were able to pull this off successfully. A post will be made to the official forums to announce the above and hopefully show others that we are indeed a fun Kin to be associated with. Thanks also to Hithlinel who you can blame , er thank for coming up with this idea in the first place.

Come join us in Sanctuary, either on Elendilmir or Laurelin EN-RP ( light RP), you will be warmly welcomed.

New Content, Old Friends Returning, Having a Blast!

Does Sanctuary still actively engage in RP?

A little about myself; Mature gamer with a long history of MMOs behind me. I participated in the LOTRO Beta but did not continue ((Life issues)). I started actively in Lotro in 2008 but just returned a few months ago and started all over again; I had a strategy in mind. I love all aspects of the game but would consider myself a casual gamer but I do enjoy immersing myself into my characters and the environment that surrounds me. It would be nice to share this type of gaming with others.

Hi Arrepo,

I can't say that we schedule or are very active with RP events, however we have a few that would be open to it and willing to participate on occasion.

Thank you for replying

Our fabulous kin leader Wiggi has stepped down to dedicate more time to his cake pursuits, and our local font of calm has stepped up to fill the role. Congratulations (I think?) to Erlnel on becoming our new kin leader!

Sanctuary is looking forward to another great year with our new leader! We welcome new members of all levels, so stop by and say hello.

We've been having a bunch of fun with some new members and jumping into the new content. The amount of fun and cake hasn't been this high in recent memory. We'd love for more to join us in our hunt for shiny things and tasty eats!

Coming up on the last weekend of February, Sanctuary will be starting a couple different groups in Moria. We'll be completing *every* non-instance quest in Moria and will be doing a fair number of the instances.

If you're curious about what the Moria revamp looks like, are struggling to get through the first time, or simply can't stand Moria and want some company head on over to our site and sign-up, or find us in-game.

Our current proposed play times will be Saturday afternoon and Monday early evening.
