List of Social Networking Services for LOTRO

Social networking services, or "social media", are platforms that connect people. In-game, the most prevalent social group is the kinship, and kinship chat facilitates communication between members. Social networking platforms can be used by kinships or alliances to do the same thing outside the game, allowing members to communicate when they cannot or chose not to login to LOTRO. Additionally, many networking platforms encourage connecting to new people with the same interests, resulting in online game communities consisting of people that have not necessarily met in-game.

• Enjin A service providing free hosting and website creation for guilds. Features include a forum, a calendar for events, rosters, galleries, multi-level admin and member access and themes. Enjin is popular among LOTRO kinships because it offers advanced customization options for free and is easy to use.

• Facebook The official LOTRO account on Facebook. In addition to following this account, many LOTRO players actively participate in conversations in LOTRO server groups that are founded and moderated by volunteers. Most people use their real life accounts, therefore groups are set to private: only members can see what is discussed within.

• Twitter (#LOTRO) LOTRO hashtag on Twitter. Many LOTRO players have created Twitter handles for their in-game identities and tweet about the latest LOTRO news and their in-game adventures. The official LOTRO account is @lotro.

• Uberchar Social networking service dedicated to MMO players. It allows for creating profiles for your characters, forming or finding kinships and connecting to old fellow players. If you connect your LOTRO characters to my.lotro.com, it will automatically publish updates of your in-game achievements. It is also possible to upload screenshots, tag friends and comment on the latest news.
