Insomniax in a nutshell: Oceanic yet international, (currently about 1/2 Oceanic 1/2 US/International). Regular interkinship raids. Instance junkies, pvp nuts, Alt-aholics. Self confessed mmo addicts. Mature, but young at heart... why else would we be playing games all day long?

Current MMORPG's:
Insomniax currently plays LOTRO and has a large but still peronal kinship within LOTRO. most of us have life memberships to LOTRO, but after a couple of years of LOTRO's carebear environment, we will need to basically go out and "kill shit" and release tension on a massive scale. lol

So Darkfall is our next planned MMORPG, which has been in production for about 4-5 years, and still seems about 2 years away from release. Darkfall is a very heavy clan bases PVP orientated mmorpg. So a huge well organized clan is essential for release. Which is why we are forming a clan ready for its release, so early.

Who we're looking for? Quality people who want to share the MMORPG experience's with us. And like our name says you probably spend a lot of time in game, either pvp'ing or raiding or running instances or playing alts... If you like to talk a lot then you're welcome too, clan chat is active and our vent server is available 24/7.

Age range: We like to think we're 'mature' but since that word gets thrown around so much here's some examples of what 'mature' actually means:
We respect that people have real life commitments, be they family, work, studies etc.
We respect that one of our most valuable commodities is time so we try not to mess people around in game or assume the virtual world will stop spinning just for us Smile

We respect the time investment that goes into mmo gaming so listen to each other's concerns and challenges.
We have real life pressures and commitments so little time for petty squabbles and whining. We play for fun not drama.
We all have bad days and we've been around long enough, not to take offense unnecessarily.
We take charge for our lives and our gaming experience so don't expect everyone else to solve our problems or cater to us.
We can give/take criticism and praise without being abusive or going on ego trip.
We respect leadership and know how to challenge decisions and policies without flaming.
So what age range generally exhibits the above qualities, we'd hope 18+, but unfortunately age and maturity don't always increase proportionately, hehe. Current members are in their 20's to 40's with a lot being married with kids.

Leadership style: We're not into bearaucracy, gaming and fun is our focus... we have experienced mature officers that aren't afraid to make tough decisions but more importantly we believe the kin is owned by all and anyone can step up to the plate and contribute.
No councils, tribunals, courts, kings, queens, lords, peasants, minions, presidents etc etc... you are either in or out...
Yes like all kins we have a leader but our strength is that our leader and officers are here to facilitate community and fun not dictate your gaming experience.
I know many of us have been let down by kinships where officers are MIA (missing in action) or close minded and controlling... while we're only human, our desire at insomniax is to break away from that way of doing things.

Welcome. Look around, and "Have fun"
