People
The community of this virtual Middle-earth is amazing, and it is really the interaction of the players within the world what makes it so interesting. The OOC (Out of Character) channel is a non stop conversation with people discussing not only the game world, but their own lives and interests, making this a social event along the lines of instant messaging or “twittering”

The community of people in this virtual Middle-earth will often be busy crafting, making armour for kinship members, baking trail food for people to take on epic raids or brewing up a batch of many coloured dyes to sell in the Auction Hall for people to change the look of their clothing made by the many tailor players around the world.

Teamwork comes into play when Kinships rally together to face the dangers of “The Rift” or take to the evil realm of Carn Dum. Its not uncommon to find a level 60 Champion forming a fellowship with a group of low level players to help them survive the horrors of Othrongroth or protecting a scholar as she scouts The Midgewater Marshes searching for texts and lore.
