Thread: How alive is this server?

I have been gone for a few months now, but i'm planning to play again soon. I just want to be sure that i won't ride across Riddermark alone...The Riders of Rohan expansion looks fun, but i really hate playing alone.

Anyway, lately i have been thinking about server change...but then i realized i never reached the max level, so i don't really know how many active players there are on Riddermark.

So, i have a few questions i want to ask:

1: Do you ever think "wow, there are so few players here..."?
2: Are there kinships out there that accept noobs? I'm almost level 60 and can exit Moria. But i was hoping to find a guild that still does the old instances from the older expansions and is not so hardcore. For example, i never got into crafting...yes, i'm weird. I'm also a clicker.

I'm not sure when i'm planning to return...i'm working on a new PC right now, which i might have by the end of the month.

Thanks.

I'd probably say we have an average population. Some areas are very empty (Angmar as an example) but on the whole there are
enough people around esp in the higher zones.
Just stand in Bree for a few minutes and you'll see plenty of guild invites and several ninja invites too.

There seems to be a good amount of people on the Riddermark. Chatter has tapered down lately but you get your simple LOTRO players who just like playing and you are good. Managed to pull a group together for a LVL 56-68 Turtle run without too much trouble. I get groups out of Bree for the Barrows all the time. Find a good kin like Order of the Morning Star and their alliance and there seems to always be someone willing to help.

The only times I ever think there are few people is when I'm leveling alts in the mid level (40-60) range but I bet its like that on most servers There are a ton of 75s and if you want an idea of how many active people there are just hope in glff (/joinchannel glff)

If your looking for a kinship I suggest asking in glff or posting in the Riddermark kinship forums. Many kins accept all level players.

On a side note: I also click skills but I don't think it matters that much. I still do decent

I don't mind clicking, but in other MMOs it is usually looked down upon for some weird reason.

Thanks for your replies everyone.

I'm a clicker here, and i was a noob once also, but yet i'm raiding in riddermark every week with PUGs and doing old instances 90% of the time, CD, 16th hall, SG, SS, BG, OD.... I'm probably only 1 of the few players willing to lead them at lvl 75 but the point is...

Yes, we do that in riddermark, just is gonna take you a lot of time to find people unless you got lucky in GLFF. I suggest you enter glff to check the average amount of players doing instances.

Take care.
