Kinship Activities
In the Rangers, we have many organized activities. Central in the planning of these activities is the Raid&Event Calendar, which allows us to plan and sign up for events in advance. As a Ranger member, you'll get the priviliges to suggest and plan events/quests/runs/RP yourself. However, be sure they do not interfere with our regular events, which are described below! The next upcoming events are displayed in the menu on the left. The Rangers have active RP and Questing/Raiding alliances with other kinships, most importantly the official raiding alliance with the small kinship The Last Banner. The events in these alliances are often planned through the same Raid&Event Calendar.
There is absolutely no obligation to particiate in all activities we offer, though we enjoy having as much of our members as possible around in our activities. New to certain aspects of the game? Give it a try! You'll probably be surprised.
TIME: 20.00 hrs UK time/ 21.00 hrs CET
LOCATION: at Rangers Kinhouse, 5 Waterbank Road, Talad Ring, Falathlorn homesteads
REMARKS: held in-Character (i.e. roleplaying)
GOALS: Promotions, roleplaying (casual/social - and sometime new chapters of kinwide RP plots are played), redistribution of recipies/items from kinchest, announcements, etc. Occasionally we will organize small raids (like Bogbereth and Imlad Balchorth) after the kinmeet. Currently, the Thursday kinmeets are amongst others used to play the kinwide action-RP plot: "The Key of Union".
DATE: every Saturday
TIME: 20.00 hrs GMT/ 21.00 hrs GMT+1
LOCATION: starting at at Rangers Kinhouse, Falathlorn homesteads
GOALS: help Kinmembers with the Epic Quests (Book-Quests, Vol I and II books) and other high-level and fellowship quests. Which book will be run depends on what members want. Generally, we'll do the low level books first. We'll help you to get the white horsey (reward for finishing the Vol I epic books).
DATE: announced in the Raid&Event planner
GOAL: to complete Virtue Deeds (like Valour +1) together, especially the slayer deeds (kill xxx Orcs).
ENDGAME QUESTING
DATE: announced in raid and event planner, multiple runs a week (3-7 nights)
GOAL: to make all endgame runs, raids and quest available with kinship groups
We are organizing regular (several times a week) endgame instance runs (Dol Guldur, Moria and Lothlorien instances) to get the endgame gear. We are in a continuing learning process as a kin and we have slain the Watcher several times and are currently attempting to crack the tactics of Dar Narbugud, after which we will proceed to the 12-man Dol Guldur raid. At this moment, mondays are our regular raiding night. We intend to do larger raid runs at least once a month (Rift, Helegrod and Watcher/DN).
Kinship "The Last Banner" is our loyal raid ally.
DATE: Random or pre-announced
GOAL: Develop personal and kinwide roleplaying plotlines. Occasionally big roleplaying events will be organised (24 participants). With support from game masters (GMs) a certain RP plotline will be played, like for example the "A Call for Aid: Saving Alanlasse" open RP event in January 2009. We had a second follow-up open RP event in May 2009: "A Call for Aid II: Saving Alancala". The lastest active kinwide RP plot is "The key of Union" (started October 2009). Members of the Rangers are free to start new kinwide RP plots.
The kinmeet is always held in character, and we are allying with several other players and kinships to increase roleplaying possibilities for those who want. We have a dedicated subforum for the interaction with non-Rangers roleplayers.
MONSTERPLAY/CREEPTRIBE "Azurz Grush"
DATE: on most sundays organized raids (20 hrs UK time/ 21 hrs CET), but smaller team runs on-the-go as well, depending on the need.
GOAL: to offer organized monsterplay (PvMP) for those interested in the unscripted battles of PvMP
Azurz Grush means "Killing Blow" in Black Speech. Since we like to offer all aspects of the game to our members, we have initiated a creepside Tribe to do organized Monsterplay (PvMP) in Ettenmoors for those who want to experience it. Every sunday we will have monsterplay night, where we will have a big creeptribe raid. Those who want to try monsterplay will get a guided tour and will be able to set their first steps in Ettenmoors in a group with friends. The tribe adheres to strict PvMP honour codes: corpsejumping and camping are strictly forbidden. Ofcourse, a bit of monsterplay RP is also allowed.
