DoTWT is a Rank 10 kinship on the EU Eldar server playing Lord of the Rings Online.
The kin was founded on May 5th 2007 by Ashra who has now left us to play Age of Conan. Our leader now is Amororgan. We're a helpful, friendly kin, not limited to LoTRO race or class. We have members from across Central & Eastern Europe and Scandinavia although we're predominantly from the UK (our kinship language though is English). A good proportion kin members have at least one maximum level character, extremely well equipped with great grear and exceptional traits. These 'senior' (!) members also have a number of alt characters which we use to help new members progress. We're not a powerlevelling kin - we don't take members on an express ride to max level, although we pride ourselves on the amount of help members give to each other.
There are Grand Masters in every craft within the kin, some of whom choose to be listed in the GM crafters page. Those listed will be happy to produce items for you, however you may need to provide the materials and (dependant upon type) the recipe as well. The kin crafters however do not guaruntee a critical success (but they also feel your pain when they fail).
As a kin we attempt to complete a full Rift raid every week, usually over three days and a Helegrod raid once a month, usually over two days. As at May 2008, Defenders of the White Tree have beaten every single boss in the game (including Thrâng and Thaurlach), barring one - Thorog in Helegrod. As well as the larger raid instances we regularly head into Carn Dûm, Barad Gúlaran and Urugarth for class quests and epic items such as Warg Keepers Token or the Putrid Slime of Helchgam.
The officers are some of the more established members of the kin and within the officers every LoTRO class is represented. The officers are knowledgeable about their classes (although not claiming to be the be-all and end-all!) they are willing to help and advise members as they develop their characters.
