yeah, sorry this was just a pure repost from the shoutbox. The guy (not sure what his lotro in game name was) was asking about joining the kin and was directed here.
As mentioned elsewhere joining the kin and joining the clan are still kept separate (as the clan has more strict rules on joining). If someone wants to joins the kin and then wants to join the clan they can apply same as anyone else
Joining the lotro kin just gives people a groups to help quest with, access to people who can craft certain goods, storage in the kinhouse and social. Clan membership gives a member equal voting rights in clan direction and as such has a lot more criteria before we let someone join.
I've not spoken to the person myself, however my only concern with any potential members is that they fit in and part of that is the ability to communicate, so level of english is bit of a concern.
Anyhoo, unless there are any objection I'll tidy round the forum a little bit in the next few days: to remove some of the BC2 info and add info for joining the lotro kin separate from joining the clan.
thx
