The more of us that are present for these promotion ceremonies, the cooler it starts to feel to be a part of it all. This most recent one featured our biggest turn-out yet, so I captured the moment above. It is really neat to be part of a kin that seems to be so unique. I haven't seen any other kins doing a uniform the way we do, and while I can't claim to know for sure, I've never heard of any other kin making a production of promotions, either. Our leader commented yesterday that other players all seem to blend together with their different outfits, whereas we stand out by all dressing the same, and he is absolutely right (plus, our outfits are really sharp!). When we roam around the countryside, crawl through dungeons, or charge through a busy city, we turn heads with our matching outfits. Players will often send me tells complimenting our outfits, and sometimes the comments reach the public chat channels. On explaining this all to my boyfriend, he commented that our kin sounds like what a kin is supposed to be like. I've also gotten some comments to that effect from several of our members. It feels really good to be a part of such a group.

Hi Ana, I'm an older female gamer (50+) & just about to complete the free trial in LotRO as an Elven rune-keeper Lv 3. I love the game but prolly can only play casually. Also this is my first mmo so I'm going slow. (I used to play Morrowind for several years, tho.) I like exploring & interacting with other players as well as reading lore at times. I've read/own many Tolkien books & seen all the LotR movies several times. I also enjoy a bit of role play & studying & conversing in my limited Elvish.
Your Guardsmen kinship looks great, is it still active in the game? Do you think I would fit into your group? I really like your website & forum - but see that you are a small close-knit group. Don't know if you want a complete noobie such as myself so I thought I'd post here first.
Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks in advance. :)
cheers,
zenmoon
ps. I may have to get a RAM upgrade to 1 gig before subscribing, the current 512 makes my pc hang quite a bit. But sound & graphics are decent & I do use a headset with a mike. Thanks again. zms
Hello Zenmoon! Yes, we are still active in the game, probably moreso than we've ever been. Our kin is fairly casual, but we like to get together and have a fun time, whether by valiantly questing through the lands, or by kicking back and relaxing to some tunes and some festivities. We also love to explore Middle Earth - we want to soak it all in! And yes, we enjoy some role-playing too.
We aren't a super-elite group - we welcome all players (though the really hard-core ones might get antsy about our laid back atmosphere), and you would most certainly be welcome to join us!
