Yriandil's application

Yriandil · 06 May, 12, 16:32

Sadly my current kinship has developed an almost complete PvMP focus, which is not what I am looking for in an MMO. For a long while we were still able to muster regular raids, completing all of Tower of Orthanc on Tier 1, but shortly afterwards those raids just disintegrated.

Which is why with a heavy heart I am looking for another kin that will give me an alternative to PUGing all group PvE content I am participating in. Three former kin mates, Nimgloin, Euctice and Shadowen, already joined the Western Alliance, and so when I saw the recruitment thread on the realm forum I decided to give it a go, particularly since the kin profile matched exactly what I was looking for: Two raids a week, and a mature membership. I had a brief chat with Thoronthor, who in the end suggested I post this application. So here we go, following the recommended questionnaire.

1. NAME
Andreas

2. AGE
40

3. COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE
Germany

4. TIMEZONE
CET

5. PREVIOUS MMORPG EXPERIENCE
World of Warcraft almost since launch

6. PREVIOUS LOTRO EXPERIENCE
I joined first about two and a half years ago, got my hunter to level 42 and then lost interest.
About two months prior to the launch of RoI I returned and am enjoying the game since then.

7. HAVE YOU BEEN A MEMBER OF OTHER KINSHIPS?
Defenders of Middle Earth:
I joined this kin because the one person who brought me into LotRO is in it as well. They are great guys to play with if you can get them to leave the moors, which sadly is not that easy to achieve. So I am now looking for another kin with a bigger PvE focus.

8. YOUR MAIN CHARACTER
Yriandil, Hunter, level 75, equipment near the pre-ToO-T2 optimum

9. YOUR ALTS, IF ANY
Jashyra, Rune-Keeper, level 75, at max level for 4 days now and gear reflecting that
Yrial, Champion, level 53, wields a mighty legendary greatsword!

10. HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT TWA?
Brief mention from former kin mates who switched and the recruitment thread on the LotRO boards.

11. DO YOU KNOW ANY CURRENT TWA MEMBERS?
Nimgloin, Euctice and Shadowen

12. ABOUT YOURSELF
I'd prefer to do that at a later time.

13. ABOUT YOUR MAIN
I have to admit the only reason I joined a role playing server was the person who brought me into LotRO. Since then I have grown to appreciate the absence of silly character names and the generally mature atmosphere in the various chat channels. However I have not put any energy into role playing, and would rather not whip up an improvised biography I am not into.ÃÂ

14. I AM INTERESTED IN RAIDING
Definitely. Group PvE is my main point of interest in any MMO.

15. I AM INTERESTED IN FELLOWSHIP QUESTS
Again, definitely. If a fellowship can be found.

16. I AM INTERESTED IN RP & RP EVENTS
Not so much, to be honest.
