I like Lotro, but can never find anyone to fellow with. Any ideas on a game that better, thats easy to find good teaming? I have played COH and its no effort at all. I am looking forward to Gods and Heroes.

All games have problems with grouping. Even WOW from what i hear. Join a good kinship that should make it easier to find a felloship.
be a minstrel.
See you in the dream..
The Fires from heaven, now as cold as ice. A rapid ascension tolls a heavy price.
Tried close to 10 kinships. I am a lvl 48 minstrel and couldnt find anyone to fellow with after 10 mins of asking.
What server do you play on?
lvl 48 ministrel having hard time finding Fellowship ?!
Hard to belive.
Perhaps you are trying for specific quest nobody is doing?
Im now level 38 and i never ever did Not find i fellowship, i always found a fellow when i was looking for it and i almost did all quests...
But then aigan i dont mind looking for a group for over 30 min or even more...

As long as they stick to that gawd-awful chained quests system they have, finding a grp will be a PITA. I have no idea why they decided to make finding a grp such a pain. You have to find people your level, who happen to have, and be on, your quest in the chain.
Thats why you finally find a group after looking who knows how long, then the group disintegrates after a single quest, since everyone got what they needed. Without voice chat it would be murder to organize a group, since leader has to ask everyone if they have X quest..etc. In my experience, it was a lottery to find a full group doing what you are on.
They could take a lesson from CoX in this regard, the finest, easily accessible grouping in MMOs today IMO.
To the OP...
What times do you play usually? What time zone are you in? What server do you play on?

Well this is very much nonsence, its never hard to find a group in lotro.. its true however that its chained and it might gives more problems for players that will start in say over a year. but finding a group nowdays is easy. Even is your very unlucky wich is highly unlikely to not find anyone whit the same quest, then there is always an option to ask a level 50 to help you out, and mostly there willing to help if you ask nicely, also if you set up reuls at the start by complete everybodys quests in area X then your group will not fall apart afther someone who got what he needs will most likley stay to help out the rest, Like i said before i have always been able to find a group, now this does say a lot!

is true . i am lvl 41 hunter at Laurelin server and i think ill quit lotro.first i neevr cna get a group, second i cant stand the racism from elves ( i am a dwarf). also i never played a game with so many rude players. specialy as i said elves..dunno why, never understoud why, but i seen players shouting like this : "LFM for some quest EXCEPT dwarfs". lol .MAybe some war between elves and dwarves in JRR tolkien world, i dunno.Thing is game is kinda fun , would say too easy.If u get the right friends to make groups u will reach max lvl
very fast and then u will find out not more stuff to do , or, u gonna get stucked t same lvl because even solo quests u will not be able to
do it solo, and groups not easy to find.OH and NEVERR chose a dwarf. They in minority there and elves will make ur life like hell.

Maybe its my server, I'm on Elindimir. I frequently wait an hour to find a fellowship. Also people seem very self-centered.
I run the shards of narsil on elendilmir and i can tell you that is not the case. I find it very hard to believe that you have trouble finding a good kinship on elendilmir. I know for a fact that the majority of the kinships from closed beta call this server their home.
Just signed on this morning spent 15 mins. "Lvl 48 mins lff" This is really getting old.
I played PuGs mostly, as I do in all MMOs, and "setting rules" at the start don't fly. As in every game, yes a guild will make teaming easier, but doesn't change the fact that finding a PuG when you need one was tough. i played at release for awhile, thats when there were people everywhere. Yes, you could get a group together easy enough, the issue is that half would drop because they "just finished that one" or "Where do I go to get this quest?" Or they didn't weant to run across the zone to go to a reflecting pool to get in the instance, people would rather /quit group and go find people doing what they need.
Finding people was easy, setting a quest everyone happened to have was a PITA. Why not let the leader pick the quest from the list, and everyone sees it on their HuD? Why make it such an annoyance? That was my point.
I have never had a problem finding a fellowship playing LOTRO. Strictly Elendimir since the beginning. Just make it clear what your objectives are and ask people interested to "pst" you.

The OP doesn't say its nonsense. It wasn't in my experience either. I call BS on how easy you make it sound to find groups, but i no longer play LOTRO, so I can't say from present experience. Ask a lvl 50 to help you do quests? Are you serious? And you honestly think thats a reasonable solution to the trouble finding groups, lol!I played PuGs mostly, as I do in all MMOs, and "setting rules" at the start don't fly.

I dont know what your talking about, but maby the players that complain are not trying hard enough, i dont know... as i said i never had any problems whit getting or making a fellowship on my EU server eldar, i do have to say that its a high populated server and in the areas i am its always crowed, but i find it hard to belief that its hard to find a group, well maby players that have rushed to level 50 have had a hard time, since most players on my server are now around level 35. and i mostly do Pugs yes. Also i never said asking a level 50 was the solution, but if you have been looking for like 60 min then it might be a good idea rather then to wait even longer, ofcourse i dont like a level 50 helping me out, since like the grouping experiance, but yea if you have been waiting for like say an hour then i dont give a damm about the one quest, anymore i just want to get over whit it, on Eldar mostly players are frendly and i dont say i never got a prink im one of my fellowships, but its also the additude of yourself and most of the time people were frendly and very helpfull.
You know whats the odd thing is , that some players in this thread say thay can NEVER find a group and other say its not hard at all... if you think about this maby the problem lies whit themselfs or thay just try to "troll", cuz if you can NEVER find a fellowship in lotro im sure it wont be easyer on the other games out there or maby thay turn intro stone at daylight.

Trolling? Na....

Maybe our perspectives of a long time are different. In my book anything over 15 mins is too long. I found groups easily at lower levels but at level 40ish up its like pulling teeth. I never had this issue in COH there has to be a better fantasy game for questing.
At higher levels, it takes longer to find groups because of chain quests, that's a fact. If you have friends or helpful guildies, then this isn't an issue.
I have found groups pretty easy to get in LoTRO personally. And I'm playing a Hunter, we are a dime a dozen. It's not like anyone is trying to get a group together and saying to themselves "Damn, if we could just get a hunter." I do tend to save up my group quests for the weekends. Late at night (I usually play from 1 am Pacific on) things can get a little dead. Also, like any MMO, I don't bother trying to get a group together unless I'm going to be on for at least a few hours. I also look out for folks recruiting for quest chains I'm on in general chat. For example, if I need Book III chapter 4 I'll go ahead and join a party that is working on chapter 2 or 3. I know at least some of them will want to go through with the later chapters, particularly if we have a strong party.
That said, only MMO I could consistently find pickup groups in under 30 mins was CoH (City of Heroes). If you are really impatient and like grouping you might take a look at it.
I don't want to write this, and you don't want to read it. But now it's too late for both of us.
Back to my original question, is there a fantasy game like lotro where it is easier to find teams?

It took 1H to make a group for only 1 quest in Evendim last time I played Lotro. Decided to stop and cancel my account because became a nightmare !
So long= 1 member disconnected, he had to go to work. So we couldn' t do it.
When i stopped lotro (lvl 42 ), had 25 quest unfinished (some of them since 1 month !!!!): only elite quest. Couldn't finish them alone or in a small group (2/3 members)/
Takes hours to make a group . I'm sorry but I have a REAL life.
If i can play 1/2H a day, can't wait 1H30 to make a group . Grouping takes all my play time.
that"s why most of my friends, and members of my guild stopped lotro.
That's why i stopped lotro.
This is an "unplayable" game.

This is just way overreacted, the game is not unplayable just becouse you can't find a group, man get a grip, and change your reqruitment method, If you cant find a group for 1 mounth man then go play runescape cuz you wont do anything better in another quest bassed mmo.

Was in beta test since 2006
played in EU servers and US servers
I think i know very very well this game thank you. It's a real problem/ Every MMO player talks about that in EU and US. you can read same threads in Europe, US etc, on Turbine/Midway forums and also in Codemaster forums.
You won't have the same problems.
