I have realy been bad bad boy recently, ive not been checking the site or anything.. if anybdoy requests membership to the site for what ever reason please send an email to hambut in game or PM finglonger on the lotro EU forums

i dont realy have much time to spend on the MPWS kin atm and have no active members, this isnt likely to change for quite sometime unless i find a realy nice person who wants to co-lead.. thats about as likely as looting enough gold in the shire to buy a horse :D

Im activly recruiting players but for some reason most are leaving as quick as they join. either this is because most of our players are off line most of the time or because everybody else is too high a level. 

Regargless of your level please dont be affraid to ask for help.  Hopefuly others will help if theyre online and use the chat that is
