The Rangers - a LotRO kinship [EN-RP] Laurelin

Turbine have announced they closed transfer from EU Codemasters to US Turbine as of November 9th, 2011:

On November 9, 2011 the EU migration service will be disabled. Any player who has not migrated their account by this date will be unable to do so. Due to EU privacy laws we cannot force migrate player accounts. If you have not yet migrated to the Turbine Global Service, please do so before November 9th to avoid losing access to your existing account and characters.

As announced before, Turbine has taken over the European LOTRO service from Codemasters starting June 1st, 2011. All servers have been transferred to the Turbine serverpark in Boston and are up and running. Nothing has been chaged to your toons, items and social structures (kinships etc). All EU-players need to transfer their accounts from Codemasters to Turbine. Although the transition period is whispered to be "a few months" it is advised to transfer your accounts asap.  

How to migrate?
-Go to https://transfer.lotro.com   and follow instructions (you don't have to enter payment/credit card details in the third step to complete)
-Update your LOTRO game client (you will only need one client if you also have a US F2P account)
-You will receive 2 emails from Turbine: one that your migration has started (also contains your LOTRO Store balance, and a second one if the full transfer (including store points) has completed. You can play after you received the first mail.

Our Ventrilo server is up and running for the next year again, thanks again to the generous contribution of Garthalion. For next year, we decided to enable voluntary contributions for the fee which is due in 2012. For that, we have opened a ClanPay link through which you can donate a small sum, if you'd like to contribute to next year's Ventrilo server. No obligations, just offering the possibility, since various people asked if they could contribute. ClanPay is the system the Ventrilo provider DarkstarLLC uses to collect donations which can directly be used to pay server fees.

The link through which you can make donations (e.g. via PayPal) is: http://clanpay.darkstarllc.com/donate.php?NjQ0MjE=
It should say "ClanPay system (Donation Area for The Rangers)" in your upper left corner.
