Hi there folks of Middle-Earth, name is Ian, at your service, since I was 8 I read the books and watched the three movies from Lotr. I used to play War of the ring and Battle for middle earth, also Shadows of War and Mordor. I love this world, and for some lucky reasons I found myself in LOTRO after seeing that WoW got this subscription method to play. I started playing when I was 11, Mordor at the time was the new expansion and there weren't to much free things as today. Playing alone, the VIP benefits, my age and not having enough money or a credit card to pay, and my English being no the best one for the game (still it isn't, tho I think can defend myself) made me quit some time. I returned back at the first moment they gave away almost all the content. Mordor, Minas Morgul and Three Peaks expansions were mine for free. Started playing with a girlfriend, but not as much as I would want, we then broke. Then I started playing with a new girlfriend, everything was superb but for some wrong decisions taken by me, she broke with me. So I found myself again alone to play what mostly makes peace on my heart alongside with Hills and nature of my surroundings. I truly love this game. So, now having a middle time job, money, and credit card and after sending away my first payment to my parents, I went as fast as I could to purchase Umbar and a VIP month. And I am enjoying it as much as I can, but the issue is the same, I play mostly alone. My main is Boltermiro 64 Guardian from Rohan. He loves horses and because he grew up with them, my main goal is to obtain as much horses for the character as I can, so to make him his own stables (yeah and because I also grew in a farm with some beautiful horses, so I love them). But I am stopped by the Chapter 5 from Book II if I am guessing correct, the part where u have to complete some Skirmishes to defend Moria. And just quite some time because I haven't found lot of people to do this quests. I also have other 10 characters from lvl 6 to 30, and I dunno why I have this feeling that I am waiting to find people to play, so I stopped leveling them. Also to note that I transfered to Meriadoc after being all this time on Laurelin, cause I love RP. 

         -So I dunno if here I can start finding friends to play with, do you know of Discord channels? or some Kins? some of you having alts who want to level them up or just newbies who want to have fun? (I am also a newbie cause I don't get some mechanics in general) 

P.S: Maybe this aren't the type of post y'all would search or be interested in, but thanks you a lot for reading and stopping by this post. 

Here's a picture of my main withs his dog (named after my real life German-Shepard dog) 

Searching people for RP or just to casual play etc
