''It's a combination of the scenery and the "life" within.''



''Since coming to Laurelin (and especially after finding the Arda Channel), I really can't connect with any other game or even any other server on this game. I tried out Landroval since it is a US server and I am American, but I realized instantly that the rp community is much more unified here on Laurelin.''



''Immersion, and a real connection to Tolkien's world are paramount to me.''



''There is no way I am turning back [referring to her previous server]. There is a great difference in dynamic here; much more meaningful.''



''It [the immersion] is very well done here, and I appreciate the quality of people I find.''



''My friends and I left our previous server due to the harrasment of our RP there.''



''The story is alive here''



''No other server I have been on is like to Laurelin. This is a special place.''



''I'm very interested in this community as it develops. I just enjoy immersing myself here. Very good people, kind and considerate.''



''There are nearly ten in our company that came over. What I particularly appreciate is the attention that is paid to culture rather than power-leveling.''



''I first started on Gladden. There was little, if any, social interactions, it was all power-leveling. I tried Landroval and it was alright, though not very lore adhesive, and I am in love with the lore. I gave Laurelin a shot and loved it and the players within.''



''I came to Laurelin in my curiosity for RP. I have had an interest, but never before have I done it. I started and immediately grew a love for roleplay and Tolkien's Middle-earth, and so in the past year I had been exploring, learning, and loving Tolkien's lore as time went on. However, my learning was not wholly myself indulging into Tolkien's books, but also through converse with several other players of Laurelin. The year that passed I had learnt a lot in regards to Tolkien lore. Though, I grew a special love for Laurelin. For unlike any other RP server Laurelin features among the MOST artistic and creative roleplayers that I have encountered. The folk here truly are skilled in bringing their characters to life via means of artwork and skill with words.

I will say that it came upon me like a wind and swept me along with it!''



''Even though I must start all over again to reach lvl 90, I do not mind it. The company here is far more enjoyable and it has allowed me to really explore my RP character properly that I was creating on Imladris.''



''I was in Withywindle for some 4 years, but the rp started getting worse and worse. At one point, I saw almost no rp, and everything was just power leveling. So I tried this one and I too love it.''



''Playing on other servers never gave me much drive to continue for a longer period time. Roleplaying gives me a drive to keep playing this game, mostly thanks to the great comunity behind the characters on the screen.''



''I am happiest here on Laurelin, as I can play with so many others who share my love and passion for Middle-earth.''



''I know several of those whom I met through my journeys on two other servers who would have kept with the game if they had first come here.''
