Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) has begun a new contest, called "One Kinship to Rule Them All." A levelling contest for kinships, the winning kinships will have their kinship hall paid for for one year (or get a new kinship hall, and six months of payment). The top kinship across all servers will also receive a special badge for their my.lotro.com page!

The contest begins at noon EDT on Thursday, May 21 and ends on noon EDT on Monday, June 15.

The rules are as follows:

• You must have an active account to participate.
• Only new characters created during the contest count towards the earning of points
• Points cannot be transferred from one kinship to another
• Points cannot be transferred to another server
• One prize per winning kinship (ie. if a kinship wins more than one event it still only gets one prize)
• Prizes will be awarded only on the server where the winning kinship earned its points
• All standard game rules apply – characters that get banned will not count toward the kinship totals
• Point display on the leaderboard is for player tracking purposes only. Final winner selection will be made based on a review of the completed contest database by Turbine. Accounts which are inactive or ineligible at the end of the contest will be removed from the point total prior to winner selection.

And there are several ways of winning:

• The kinship with the most points overall for each game world
• The kinship with the most points per member for each game world
• The kinship containing the single top character in each server world (based on total points gained by that member and how fast they are achieved in the event of a tie)
• The One Kinship to Rule Them All – The Kinship with the most points overall across all servers

Good luck to all the LOTRO kinships out there!
