Looking for a Kinship? Post here.

[Aldaros]

Hey there!
I'm a returning player who's waiting for the ability to transfer my characters from Elendilmir into Crickhollow, and have been playing a Beorning named Forbden in the meantime. Playing through the game again has been fantastic so far!

Though I'm still at a low level, and play fairly slowly and casually, I can play my part in raids (Once I get there!)
Last I played was when Moria was released, and was waiting on Rohan.

If there's any kin welcoming to a friendly "beginner" player, please let me know! I'd love to quest with low level alts and be social.
I'm in the US, EST

[Tamvolan]

Name: Joe
Age: 53
Location: US (Pacific time zone)
Playstyle: currently solo on whatever I'm doing
MMOs: Lots. Currently dabbling a bit with DAOC shards, and Lotro

I've had a Lotro account since launch. I have, or have had, lots of characters through the years. Currently:

Crickhollow - 31 Man Captain, 59 Elf Warden and lowbies
Brandywine - 82 Dwarf Minstrel, 38 Man Champion and lowbies
Shadowfax - a couple of lowbies, under level 10

I love the lore of Lotro, and I still think it's a beautiful game, but I'm tired of playing solo, or at least, tired of not having anyone to chat with while playing. Honestly, in all the time I have played, I've only really been in fellowships a handful of times, so I'm not really knowledgeable about roles, etc.

I'm looking for a friendly kinship that doesn't mind teaching an older player stuff, answering what could end up being a ton of questions, and letting me join in on stuff that I can access. I listed all the servers, because I'm willing to play whereever there is interest.

Thanks for your time!

Name: Bruce
Age: 40
Location: US (Pacific time zone)
Playstyle: currently solo
MMOs: UO, EQ 1 & 2, WOW, LOTRO, Rift and several others

I played when the game first came out but quit 7 years ago.

Landroval:

57 Champion
44 Burglar
Currently leveling a minstrel as I'd like to take a poke at healing.

I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan and I keep finding myself drawn back to play. It would be nice to have some people to group up with, but admittingly I've forgotten so much I'm basically new again.

I'm looking for a friendly kinship that is laidback, but likes to run dungeons and various raids.

Thanks for your time!

Hello all!

I’m Jay, a newer player, I originally played back at launch, finally trying to get back into it.

Age: 37, old, but young at heart?

Preferred server(s): Arkenstone primarily, willing to relocate if a good match is found.

Location. (Timezone: HST, usually on evenings on weekdays early mornings on weekends.

Playstyle: Solo mainly, but only because I’m intimated by my lack of understanding to percentages and min-maxing. I’m here for the story and for fellowship.
MMO games you’ve played: I mainly played MUD’s back in the day.

What do I offer kinships?: I offer a good friend, willingness to help and companionship when grinding or crafting.

What kind of kinship you are looking for: I’m looking for ones willing to help new players into the game, guide and assist in teaching on how to be beneficial to the Kinship. Even slightly interested in casual roleplay, although I’ve never done it before.

Let me know if I sound interesting!

[Maelherillian]

Hi!

I have a 140 Hunter, a 80 Champion and a few level 30 alts. I am looking for a kin that has a social voice chat scene on discord. I am currently on Arkenstone. I am a day player in the Pacific time zone, 48 years old and not a fan of drama. I would also like to join a kin with a cool name that reflects the Lore of Middle Earth.

Please Pm me if I sound like a good fit. Thank you!

Name: Doug
Age: 51
Location: US (Pacific time zone)
Playstyle: Explorer, I like to find all the lore, willing to help with fellowships
MMOs: WoW, LOTRO (Of course), SWTOR, Neverwinter

I've played off an on since the game first came out, but I'm just really finding my home here as compared to other MMOs

Landroval:

71 Hunter (Main)
65 Champion
Several lower level (under 10)

I've played LOTRO often over the years, but for the last year, I've just really had so much fun exploring all the areas, living in Middle Earth. I'd like to get to know a more mature group of players, that are just loving the world and the escape from reality. I'm on fairly often, when time, work, and wife allow.

I'm looking for a friendly kinship that is laidback, but likes to run dungeons and various raids, and willing to help with all the n00b questions.

Thanks for your time!

[bmbeeman]

Character Name and Race: Breidr, Race Undecided [Dwarf, Man, or possibly Boerning likely]

Age: 33

Location: Eastern NA, although I'm more likely to play during EU times during our daytime hours.

Playstyle: Casual PvE/RP

MMO games you’ve played: World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy XIV, Albion Online

Why kinships should be interested in you: I am willing to put effort towards any reasonable request or need. I have years of valuable logistics experience [both professionally, and in my hobbies. I have been a serving NCO/Officer on a non-profit Civil War Reenactment organization and have also been second in command of various gaming organizations, Notable games are World of Warcraft [Emerald Dream Military RP/PvP, and Holdfast/War of Rights where I served as an executive officer. I am willing to invest my time to "give back" towards organizations that put effort towards me or my interests, as time is all I have to give currently.

What kind of kinship you are looking for: I'm interested mostly in the social aspect of a kinship, light RP, and possibly more if I get good enough at said RP. Recently disabled, I've lost a lot of my former outlets and hobbies for one reason or another. I used to be very invested in Civil War reenacting, but COVID has changed the landscape of that, and the disability means I'm not the soldier I once was. I've been searching for other outlets since the start of lockdowns in 2020. It's also when my formal employment ended, and I've been kind of stir crazy.

Character Name : Aedwynme on Arkenstone Server. Main is Loremaster lvl 120

Over 21
Arkenstone

Location : San Clemente, CA +8 PST

PLaystyle: PVE, PVP, Groups

Prior MMOs : Too Many to list , LOTRO always has been my favorite

I am hoping to join a kinship that has players who love the game, enjoy a more active kinship than one that is casual.

[Jenvieve]

I am a returning player who introduced my husband to the game recently. We are looking for an active community of adult gamers, casual atmosphere, no drama, no politics, just gaming at all levels. We both have played MMO’s for all our adult lives and are looking forward to enjoying our recreational time with like-minded gamers.
I am 50, husband is 52. We live in Tennessee. Both are professionals, I’m retired from my career. I have a lvl 42 red hunter (Jenivaen) my husband has taken to the warden and is currently lvl 45 (Valainez).
I’d love to hear what our kinship options are on Arkendstone. If anyone has suggestions, please feel free to message. Any kinships looking to refresh the ranks, aid a couple of gamers and enjoy the occasional joke, message me.

Thank you all for your time and consideration.

Returning player looking for casual, social kinship:

Looking for casual, social kinship in Brandywine, English speaking, with lore-friendly name. I am a returning player, having left the scene for 5 or 6 years. LOTRO is a secondary game for me, as I am an officer in a World of Warcraft roleplay guild. If I don't have a roleplay event there, I can log into LOTRO, as I'm kind of burnt out on WoW leveling at the moment. I am active on Discord. I am not looking for an RP guild, don't have time for that in this game too. Currently I have Hallandor, level 17 High Elf Champion that I'm playing.

I also have a 116ish? I think? Beorning on this server from years ago and may delete my second Beorning and transfer my old Guardian from Crickhollow. I logged into her and couldn't remember how to move around in this game so I started a new character.

Anyway.

Age: 39
Location: California, USA
Playstyle: PVE, primarily questing.
Other MMOs: Current officer in an active RP guild on World of Warcraft, Moon Guard (Horde) server. I RP as an Argent Crusader!
Looking For: Casual, social kinship with friendly players looking to help out (and be helped in return if possible.) Discord presence highly preferred.

Still looking as of 17/5

Wulfentharg 58 LM, Laurelin.

Mature player seeking kinship with a good number of similarly levelled. English male, happy to use Discord or TS. OK with light RP. Need help with Moria instances.

Returned after ~4 years but mostly played ~2012.

[PrisonBound1]

Name or character name: Einen (i will have more just not right now)
Laurelin server

Age: late 40's

Location: USA; EST timezone.

Playstyle: Solo for when I can't find groups, but prefer to be in groups of similar level people. Eventually when I reach endgame.

MMO games you’ve played: SWG, SWTOR, Conan.

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: I am mature adult who still likes to joke and have fun. I work well with others for a common goal or just to have a good time. I am loyal and keep my word when given. Due to past MMO games i am familiar with group roles for a common goal in instances and heroics. i may be old but i still like to have fun and enjoy life. Playing MMO games online is a way i can relax and destress from working in a high stress job all day long. that means sometimes i am full of piss and viniger and looking to have fun. and full of energy and sometimes i just need to laugh and bring my spirits higher. life can get you down but friends can help bring you up. its not how hard you can hit in life. its how hard you can get hit and still get back up.


What kind of kinship you are looking for. (This one is very important for recruiters): I am looking for a long lasting kinship not a fly by night . i am in it for the long term. and would like the same in return. to me age has nothing to do with being mature. it means you know when to be serouis and when its time to be silly. A kinship that will help it's members is a must.

[SNEEKYPETE1972]

A Hunter who has been out of the game for several years. I started with LOTRO at the very beginning. Had to stop after 12 years of regular playing due to work. Finally able to return. I am trying to get back into the game. I am older than most of you so let's just let it go at that. I am currently on Arkenstone but will change. I can play and raid several days a week. I just need help getting up to the current level of play. My current lvl is 121. If interested in this old relic, let me know. My character name is Dudae (which is a combination of two names if you are interested). Thanks in advance.
