I'll make a new character for that server.

My game time for this game will be Wednesday 10:30 PM EST to 11:30 PM EST.

I post the name and such when I log on next Wed.

DarkonJohn (CAG) - Darkon / Dwarf Champion (Riddermark)

Just starting out so my toon is only Level 5 at the moment. Also started a toon on Dwarrowdelf (Darkon/ Human Champion/ Level 7) before finding out that CAG was going to be on Riddermark.

Interesting that you can have two toons per server (not per account), but I'm not complaining.

I cant seem to stay connected tonight for anything. I play for about 30 seconds and then lose connection and just sit there. Seems things are definitely a little overloaded in the starter areas at least.

I've had a couple of disconnects, but not too bad. I guess the F2P newcomers (which include me) are loading up the servers.

So should we just start adding people as friends or wait until we have enough to form a kinship?

Ok, sorry folks but I haven't had time to play yet. I've been busy all day and am probably not going to start playing until tomorrow. Once I get a character rolled though, I'll post it here and maybe we could get a kinship going on (is that basically a guild?).

I decided to make an alt (Because there are only 2 classes I want to play that are non-Mines of Moria... which I don't have yet). Kaltic, Human Minstrel.

So you should know all my names will start with the letter "K". Don't ask it is just my thing.

Hmm, I may try and join up as well. I had been thinking about giving this game a whirl (I only got to play it for about an hour during early beta), so this might be a good place to start. Let's see if it runs on the laptop... *downloading to try it out*

Yeah the kinship is the same as a guild in other MMOs.

I've added everyone as friends to try and see if anyone pops on. It actually shouldnt be too long before we are able to start the kinship. Once we have enough I'll buy the charter and get it put together.

Any ideas on a name ?

Didn't you say that you added the VIP starter kit already? If so did you already receive your 500 VIP points? Since you are supposed to within like 2 or 3 days of starting the month subscription.

As for a name to the kinship... i'm not sure. Is the game ok with ass? Because if not than almost anything CAG related is thrown out (unless it is CAG). Anybody know this?

I received my bonus 500 points from the VIP this morning after activating my VIP last night.

I kinda assume that ass would be flagged in the game but not for sure.

Well I put my vote towards Cagian(s) (or CAGian(s)). That way we at least wouldn't have to bother with ass and wouldn't be the plain CAG.

Alright that is good to know. I am not sure if I want to use it now or wait until I level a bit first (not a big reason to wait though).

I added the code for the 1000 points, but have held off on the 30-day code because I figured it would take a while before my toons were ready for the higher-level content and didn't really need the 500 extra points yet.

Heh, I actually bought that and never looked into it. Didn't even know they were separate codes. Any thanks for giving me the info, I added the 1000 points but am saving the 30-day code too.

I actually forgot you can use alts to fill up the 8 minimum kinship requirements (So I can fill 5 slots). Anyhow, I don't agree with putting any stuff before or after CAG, such as CAGians. Should come up with something a little more creative like:

Fellowship of CAG
CAG Fellowship
Followers of CAG
Minions of CAG

Those sound pretty bad, I'll be honest, but I'll take them over anything tacked onto "CAG" itself. Time to brood on some more creative names to use. (Such as "CAG Ent Right" or "Hobbitual CAG")

EDIT: Of course we could break the mold of using CAG but still keeping it CAG themed like "Would Buy That For A Gold".

C A G - Courageous Agents and Gentlemen.

C A G - Citizens Against Gnomes.

For some silly reason I actually quite like that one.

Along those same lines we could also do something like ..

The CAG Council
Merchants of the Mark

Both are derived from actual group in Middle Earth

I'm really digging Citizens Against Gnomes.

I did add the VIP code to my account (but I wish I would have waited to activate until I had depleted the free content), but have not gotten my 500 points yet.

Pretty much agree. Still thinking of more names that have CAG, are CAG themed, or keep the same abbreviation as CAG as we still have a little time before we decide.


Who's going to be the leader of the Kinship by the way?

Make sure that you make as many characters as you can so when you do end up as a Premium down the road you keep some of the once VIP benefits that stay with you on the downgrade (like having 5 bags).

Ages ago, I bought a hard copy of the game for $6. Would that retail activation code (that comes with the 30 days gameplay) get me any subscriber benefits now, or does that only work for the Mines of Moria expansion activation codes?
