The Lord of the Rings Online is a huge multi-player role playing game based on the movies (not the book). Its focus is on cooperative team play with optional, segregated player-vs-player competition. It's mostly family friendly but some of the chat channels can have swearing and abusive players just like any online community. It's very easy to add these players to your 'Ignore List'. The game is free to play but most mission packs and "nice to have" features require purchasing via "Turbine Points" that can be earned slowly in-game or purchased with real-life cash.

The Outlaw Brotherhood kinship
The game has a choice of servers. I play on the Evernight server where I'm a member of a kinship known as the Outlaw Brotherhood, an excellent gathering of friendly, helpful and cooperative players. Feel free to sign up to our website and request an in-game invitation to join us.
You can find out more about our Kinship using the following links: [Website] [Steam group]
