Here's a couple of screenshots I recently took at Evendim. That region is absolutely beautiful.

That's who that was! I thought a kind stranger gave those to me. I don't think I have that character added, I'll have to get on that.

Ok, so it looks like Bombadil's Knights won. Personally, I think we should just go with that instead of cook up more schemes to get the name we/you/I/whathaveyou want. In all reality, it would be impossible to come up with a name that everyone agrees on, and we already had the poll implemented before KaiserDragon voiced his concern, so if there aren't any issues with it I'll be making the clan sometime later tonight.

Perhaps we should go with "The Knights of Bombadil" to have KD's approval? Finally awesome that our kinship is getting made! I'm tired of declining invitations to other kinships. xD

I dig the name Bombadil's Knights. Tom is one of my favorite characters! I also like Knights of Bombadil.

But I don't want there to be an ongoing bitchfest about what our Kin is named. If anyone else doesn't like the name just say so and we can reset the poll or something.

[Agent Proto]

Bombadil's Knights isn't much of a silly name. It's similar to Cid's Knights. Though, I do think Knights of Bombadil sounds more like a name for a Kin rather than Bombadil's Knights. I personally don't really mind what name we end up with. Besides, a name is only a name and shouldn't really be an issue at all, and we're all about enjoying ourselves, so don't let the name bother you if it ends up being something you don't like.

[Madonna]

Is it going to ruin another person's day if we do not call ourselves the Knights of Bombadil/Bombadil's Knights? Apparently a name matters to some, so leave the decision to those who mind about monikers.

[G13]

The thing is, he shouldn't have suggested the poll if he was afraid of getting a name he didn't like. I said I wouldn't count votes from non players, but that was when I thought I clicked that little box. Now that I've had time to think about it, who is to say that the extra votes didn't come from people who may be thinking about playing? You all certainly didn't join right away.

I told KD to post his opinion to see if others agreed with him as so far he has been the only one to mention his dislike of the name. We don't all play together for the benefit of any one person, we play together to help each other out and, above all, have fun. I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I'm not having any fun with this name business.

I decided to make an executive decision and put the list into a randomizer. The name to come out on top is our clan name.

Greysought was first. If anyone is against that then please feel free to make your own clan.

I'll make it the next time I see someone online, that way that person can add another the next time they see someone online, and so on and so forth.

[Agent Proto]

I'm fine with Greysought, it's unique enough to stand out as our Kin's name.

[Jiro]

ROAR GREYSOUGHT ARE HERE

Also I demand a rank. An awesome rank

[G13]

We need one more person to join our ranks before we're clear. I think tomorrow is our last day to get eight members. If anyone's been holding out a second account, or has been thinking about making a second account, get on that and send me a tell. I'll be online all day today trying to rack up the points needed to buy a third character.

[Agent Proto]

I recently discovered that the moment I redeemed my purchased TP from Best Buy, I became a Premium player. This means I had a third character slot! :O I hadn't known this before I purchased an extra character slot, so now instead of three, I have four slots for characters! So yesterday I created a Hobbit burglar named Prute. (Prute = pr00t, geddit?)ScreenShot00048.jpg

Awesome. I knew it was something like that. I hadn't noticed becoming a premium player until I had purchased the Lone Lands when I started. I always thought it had something to do with the purchase but I wasn't sure if it was the TP or quest pack that upgraded. Anyway, good to know.

Just for everyone to know, you can save even more money by buying some cheap Mines of Moria from the store to get five permanent character slots. Also, you get a free month of VIP which also leaves some permanent benefits once the month has expired. I noticed after installing the expansion, I didn't have to buy my warden or rune-keeper class either. Just make sure you create them before the VIP month expires.

EDIT: Well, it might be better to get it from the LOTRO store because everyone is over-charging for the box, even Amazon where I got mine. I spent $10 for mine but now they want $40. On the LOTRO store, it's about $25 in TP value.
