Welcome to The Elders Kinship!
The Elders kinship is an EU based kinship now based on the Laurelin
server of Lord Of The Rings Online. We came into being on the Gilrain
server in 2007 and in 2015, with the server closures, we moved to Laurelin, where we are still active today.
Which LOTRO players might want to join us?
Are
you grey-haired and grumpy? Does the sight of all those youngsters
racing around make you feel old and exhausted? Do you want to spend your
evenings in like-minded company - those other old people who actually
understand grumpiness is a comedy art-form? Do you like to play well,
want to raid - but never take the game too seriously? Or do you like to
amble around in your own damn time, forever levelling but wanting great
chat and company while you're doing it?
Congratulations! You've found the kinship for you!
The
Elders was one of the very oldest kinships on Gilrain (in every sense
of the word..) and the same lovely bunch are now on Laurelin as The
Elders Kinship (someone had already nabbed the original name - just The
Elders - on Laurelin). We offer probably the warmest, the best and the
funniest community you'll find anywhere online. We understand that real
life has to come first, sometimes at short notice when it's sick kids,
ferrying teens or suddenly having to work late - and no-one will ever
criticise you for it. We know that the only way you can really enjoy
being childish and silly is when there are no actual children around!
We're not hard core. We like to raid a couple of times a week because
once or twice a week is enough when you've got real life commitments to
attend to. We have a channel on Discord with chat channels and forums. We don't mind if you play every
day, or once a week, or once a month. Our only entrance requirement is
that you're over 25yrs of age (our average age is in the 40s)(plus....). We
accept applications from all classes, all levels and any (or no) game
experience. Our only true requirement is age. Just bear in mind that we are almost entirely from Europe and active game times match that time zone. You can still join if you want to, but you'll need to take the time difference into account - if you're on when it's the middle of the night in Europe, you'll probably be rather lonely.
If you feel you want to join us, sign up (please use your main game name) and apply via the "Chat To The Elders" forum on our Discord community. Here's the link.
