The Shadows (EN-RP Laurelin): Now that you have read about MoX and the recruitment procedure, you might want to know more about the Kin:
The MoX members doesn't bear the usual MoX tag as their kin name in LotrO. Instead the MoX branch of LotrO is known as The Shadows.
This is because of some historical reasons. 13th of February 2008 The Shadows and MoX decided to join forces to grow in numbers and a merge took place. It was decided that the current members of MoX in LotrO were to join The Shadows kin. It was also decided that The Shadows were to come a part of MoX and all the old members of The Shadows were offered a full membership of MoX after some time.
The Shadows is one of the oldest active kins on our server, Laurelin. The Shadows were established at the launch day like the original MoX kin. We are as MoX rules say 18 years + and a mature, friendly Kin. Some of us have been around from the start, but we also have members that are new to LotrO, and we have characters of all levels and classes and all classes and levels are welcome. However as we see ourselves as a close-knit group of friends, we prefer that people have all their characters in our Kin (with only a few exceptions for heavy rp).
We see ourselves as a casual raiding Kin, which means that we do end-game content, but at our own pace. This includes not only raiding, but of course also various instances, and sometimes we do old content such as Rift just for fun/friday night drunken raids etc. We also have a group of friends (non-Kin) called Friends of the Shadows, that we group up with, and that have a sub-forum for in the private MoX forums for scheduling events and keeping in touch. Video from The Rift, with the Shadows members and some friends:

You can read more about the Shades here:
The Shades Public Forums We have a lovely Kinhouse in Falathlorn that is used for kinevents sometimes, and we have shared kinhouse chests for items that we want to give away and/or share. Here is a video from our Christmas event 2009:
(part 1, Hide n' seek), and
(part 2 - Visit from Santa) and from a Shades concert:
Most importantly, we're a group of people who want to have fun together, and really enjoy and explore all aspects of the game, in our own pace and at our own terms
If you are interested in joining contact me or any of the other officers (Surma, Malthalras, Achazia, Abergar) or our leader (Thaumatur) in-game for further information. (A tip is to add one or more officers or the leader to your friends list, so you can see when we are online and contact us). This way you can ask any further questions you may have before you make your application.
