Please put your Toon name in this thread. i will be online  (wed)  till about 9:30
(EST) as "Grimst". (other officers that play later than that: Bravade, Nightweedband, Rudialas)

I can't keep track of who needs in an invite in all the threads, so i am making one here.

9:30 in what time zone?

My dude is named Ingur.

Sorry, EST. I will be on until 9:30ish.

I made a human Lore-Master last night. Her name's Saerthir, which is Sindarin for "Bitter Watcher." I felt it appropriate for an F13-related character.

Tarrathir, level 18ish Hunter.

K, if my people (that means me) don't contact you, contact me (Grimst).

I will just be walking out the door at work by the time you've logged, so I will have to try to catch one of the other people.

Looks like I missed you. I'll try again tomorrow - time for dinner with the family.

Arasi , but  it looks like I've missed ya as well

Its OK, this was early notice, in the OP i stated that i would be on Wednesday night.  :grin:

...I knew that. Honest. :facepalm:

Your secret is safe with me.  :grin:

Online now.  :awesome_for_real:

Now, offline.  :oh_i_see:

Does anyone in this Kin group?  I played for a month solo and got bored out of my skull.  If there were regular groups I may be tempted to resub. 

...I ended up working late last night. -_-

Yes, but there seem to be a lot of very spread out play times. Speaking for myself, i mostly kin-group everything.

When I am playing, it is usually with my wife, but I am sure it would be no problem to get you in on what we are doing assuming you qualify for the quest chain.  The downside is that we usually only play on Sunday during the day.  Weeknights I'm playing alts, when I do play, and I'm pretty open about who I group with (those kin people are all level 50+ and don't stop to read quest text), but then I'm not stuck on anything with the alts since I'm happy enough skipping fellowship quests.  Also I fuck around a lot, doing crafting, or deeds, or quests, or exploring, of any sort in any place I feel like, maybe like if The Dude played LotRO.  So I don't have a lot of people saying "hey can I go with you and check out the hills around Oatbarton".  Silly achievers.

I guess that was a really long way of saying "if you see me on we can hang out and do shit".

As Schild has pointed out, I may be "too chatty" for this bunch.  The whole reason that I play MMO's is to log on and shoot the breeze while killing stuff.  What I've found in every f13 guild is that I log on to hours of silence... even when 20+ people are playing. 

For all of the posting on these forums, most of you are pretty antisocial online.  :why_so_serious:

True enough for general kin chat, trouble is that the wife and I are on intercom with each other.  You are far, far more likely to get some chatter out of me if we are fellowed.  Probably too much.  Imagine my forum posts without the delay-and -filter inherent in the medium... if you can.

I am quite chatty!

Well now I feel left out.

Raises hand for being one of the antisocial ones.  Not really antisocial, but I do get immersed in my gameplay - even when doing ridiculous grinding.  I just don't even notice the chat bar in general.  I would much rather be kin grouping, but still waiting for a few more to hit 55+.  I am not an alt guy, especially in LOTRO, because the achiever in me can not ignore unfinished deeds (although I have started a warden).  I stop to chat once in a while, but then move on not looking at the chat bar again.

I am still interested in some organized kin-grouping, whether it be new alts or existing.  Just let me know those who are interested.

Well, if this chain of command thing goes through. May I place you as event/kin-group family outing organizer? I do think this is something we are missing.

 Another issue i want to solve, is like i said before, we have some really spread out playtime's. I'm going to make some people who clearly have playtime's that don't really overlap, as officers, and have them start inviting people for that playtime. CASE IN POINT, Tarami.

If you are even remotely considering me for that (or any) job, I decline in advance.

Apostrophes mean possession.

I've been known to type a line or two in kinchat. :grin:

I'll be online tonight (your night), I got a couple days off. :awesome_for_real:

I've noticed that once people start talking, kin chat keeps going for a bit. But someone has to start (other than the few insane/kids who natter on at times)

Mind not my straight jacket, good sir, I'm quite sane sometimes.

I totally forgot to log in last night. :(

I'm guilty of being quiet - I don't think I've said much of anything during my few days in the kin.  Although to be honest, no one else has said anything either.  Next time I promise to at least say Hi when I log on!

Most of the time I listen to audiobooks when I play morgs.  Seems almost silly for me to join a kin, actually.  I turn my game-playing part of my brain off while I play games.  If you figure that one out, let me know. 

I haven't been on in a few days, working OT. I'll try to bother somebody on Sunday, which will be the earliest I can play more than likely.

I don't usually say much but I join in if guildchat is lively. After 4 years of WoW I can also liberally throw in AOLspeak for added MMO ambiance.

"lol imma going to Lonelands at lvl 5, can ne1 maek me a wepon?"  :why_so_serious:

That's pretty much the way to get me to ignore you forever.

Exceptions are made for sarcastic remarks. 'sup thou'

Online now as trucegore.  :grin:

Now offline, got two people in.  :grin:

Thanks MB.

Just a reminder, i will be online as "Grimst" or "Trucegore" tomorrow night (WED, EST) for invites. Make sure you complete the intro, or I can't invite you.

I moved my LM to Brandywine before I canceled the last time.  Now that I am back I'd like you join you folks, be a bit less lonely that way.  I'll try and keep an eye out for you to get an invite.  Character's name is Chorulle.

I'm on right now as grimst.

Got Chorulle in.

offline.

Online now.  :awesome_for_real:

Offline.

So, I took the plunge. Basically, the 30 bucks for a free download and 4 months of game play was too much to resist. Diku is fine for now and I've got a Guardian I've taken a liking to. So... is it cool that I seek invitation to the guild? My Dwarven Guardian is of course named Brogarn. Imagination be damned.

Oh and if you look at the time of this post and go WTF is he doing up that late... I'm at work doing a scheduled outage for patching multiple servers. Sadly, I brought this on myself.

What levels are in the kin and stuff? Is it a lot of high levels or are there people around 25-30ish? I'm in some kin that invited me at random when I was 15ish and they seem cool and helpful but I'd join this kin if its the place to be. BTW I have a 29 burg.

You can hit me (Grimst) up for an invite, just got tazelbain in.  As far as range, some of the newer invites are in the 20's and we have all the way up to many 60's.

Ok cool. Name is waffel. Send me a tell when you get on (or anyone that can invite)

Got yah. As if you didn't know.

I have a couple of people in the mid-20 range.  Fatwing and Dwuli.  Even better, those are the non-wife characters. :awesome_for_real:

Thanks for the invite and put a freakin warning label on that damned barrel.

(http://common.allakhazam.com/images/d/2/d27be2846e8d0f2066335aa08fb1a831.png)

"Drinking this may not be the safest thing you could do." My 20's would have been awfully boring if I paid any attention to such a benign warning.

lol.

Yea, that Sinister Keg is very tempting.  I thought it meant that it had a left-handed tap.

Now that's a joke Tolkien would have appreciated.

Was in the guild earlier today. Logged in and I'm not in it anymore.  :oh_i_see:

edit: nevermind, I'm in the guild and I can see people leave and join, it just doesn't show me as a guild on my name, or in the tab, and I can't talk in guild chat. Must be a bug.

I bet Bloodworth put you on Super Secret Probation.

It is a bug. I had it once, just relog and it'll sort out.

While waiting on the Bree-Town revamp, I started up a Warden this morning. So far... nice freakin class! Any kinship rules on alts? If not, Beorgarn is my Warden.

We have rules?



We will get him in.

You can't have more than ten alts on a single account, otherwise it's pretty loose.

You must at all times obey the Laws of Thermal Dynamics?

I mean, I can make some shit up. Only rule I have is don't be a jerk, and don't abuse our kin hall box sharing exchange thing.

I think ill have Yegolev call a meeting to discuss rules.  :why_so_serious:

But he's a dinosaur. With a gun. And a suspicious look on his face. I might have to refuse to show up to this meeting on the general principle that I don't want to be shot. And possibly eaten.

If I were someone else, I'd be more worried about what is in the cooler.

Noted and I won't be visiting the guild house anymore.

Don't tell him what's in the cooler, though.  He'd be blown away by what's inside. :awesome_for_real:

Returned to LOTRO, and got my Warden (17) "Crombert" invited into the kin last night.  The Kin was quiet as ever (but with 10+ members on), and quite the confusion to get an invite for my alt.  So I should be around if anybody needs help from Bravade (60 Captain) on Books or fellow quests.   Otherwise, I will be deeding all the starting areas with Crombert until Book 8 sees the light of day.

Kinchat is definitely in fits and starts, but that doesn't mean that they don't care about one another  :grin:

Finally got around to getting Ingur the champion into the kin. Now I just need to find time to play this in between everything else.  :grin:

How active is the kinship?  Thinking about getting back into this a bit.

Its quite active.

Yeah there are always people on when I log in. They don't talk that much, and mostly I have no idea who any of them are, but they're there!

Some are noisier than others.

BTW re: the kin box looting incident, aren't there logs so you can just boot whoever did it?

incident?

Nope. I suggested it to the very helpful GM that helped me literally moments from submitting a ticket. She well understood the issue, and said this was already something the developers were working on, as most kinships do the same thing we do. She sadly, could not help us, in any way other than to confirm it was not a server hiccup.


Someone took every item out of our kinhall chests. Seems to have happened last weekend. I have not been on much do to moving.

It is simply sad someone would do this. The chests we set up with class items, and book pages and Noob gear (Crited), the items and pages represent time, so its the bigest disappointment, as many have been greatly helped by the class items being there (Time).

The person got away with MAYBE 3 gold in items.


This is correct. Many will pipe up though if you ask a question, or need help.

I admit to taking a suit of the crafted leather about three weeks ago a couple levels vefore I could use it, but I plan to pay the kin back with giving people wood.   :grin:

This is A-OK, that's what they are for, and was always the intent. It is there for anyone, if you can use it, take it, if you have extra, dump it in, if you just like helping make some items.

The class items were the best, simply questing would sometimes give you what you needed, but sometimes you gather a ton of stuff for other classes, so we had a chest full of items that you could take to meet your requirements, and drop off stuff not for your class. Huge time saver.

But to show how much a great kinship we have, the chests were filled up with in days with useful items again, once we discovered what happened. The class stuff, and book pages may take a while.

Awesome.

Aye must have been refilled quick.....as I believe I grabbed a pick and axe on Saturday and everything was pretty much filled up at that point.  Any suspicious (not that it matters) on the culprit? should I be making preparations to go Tolkien vigilante-styles on his/her ass?

The major bummer about no logs/help from Turbine on it is that it sort of means that whoever did it now knows they can get away with it and thus might do it again.

Do vault Thefts just follow you around now Ing?   :oh_i_see:

Dat dat duuummm!

I dunno, maybe I have some kind of bad karma that causes it. I do know there's nothing LESS fun in WoW than the way Blizzard does vault restores - they mail it all to you as attachments and you have to ferry it all to the vault by hand. Last time someone got hacked and our WoW vault got emptied I had freaking hundreds of stacks of shit to sort through.

I *wish* we could have the problem of having 100s of stacks to put back. Too much stuff in this game for the tiny storage space available.

Some day I'll sit down and figure out how crafting works in this game. I know purple items are good, but I just sell everything else. I'd steal stuff from the vault but then it would just take up inventory space and I wouldn't know what to do with it. So F that.

Unless you are a craftard, I'd say avoid, although it's easier now than before.  I end up getting my equip from friends or the AH (not in the kin house storage for some reason) anyway, what isn't a quest reward, that is (exception is that my hunter makes most of my bows).  Also playing a RK means I really don't care if I'm lvl 35 and wearing lv16 armor. :oh_i_see:

As far as I can tell there's real money to be made just selling hides and wood and bars or whatever, so I just do that and occasionally splurge on a purple weapon to hold me for a few levels, it seems to be working out ok.

I need to make a bunch of stuff, I just haven't been on.  To many other things right now. But the stuff I do put in seems to go fast.

Yeah, well my 33 Warden is still wearing his level 15 shield. Although I just got a level 37 group quest for a fantastic new one.. Let's kill some trolls in Fornost sometime!
