 What is Lotr Dreamers?


At LotrDreams we aim to serve you, the members, as best we can whilst sharing in the legacy that was left in our hearts with the coming of Lord of the Rings and the master himself, J.R.R.Tolkien. As a site, we are able to bring together fans from all over the world and unite them in safe secure surroundings where they can meet, discuss and learn together. Unfortunately, nothing in this world is free and whilst cost are kept to an absolute minimum, finances do still come into play. At the moment, costs are at a reasonably low, but with each post, each piece of information and each image that goes onto the server and with each click on the site, we are using valuable bandwidth space.
 
We will never ask anyone to cease or slow down with their posting, nor will we place a price on the enjoyment and knowledge gained here, what we are here to share has no limits and there can be no price put on the experience you can live with us. No matter what, we will find a way to continue the journey, but for those who do wish to actively support and help us keep the site secure, you shall have the gratitude of not only ourselves, but of each and every member that comes here.
 
Costs are currently being financed by ourselves (The Overseers), we have paid for one years hosting with a large amount of bandwidth, but in order to cope with the high demand and the wonderful levels of activity, we shall soon find ourselves seeking the need for a dedicated server, and with that comes extra costs. Please note, not one penny/dime/cent etc is for profit purposes, nor do we intend to purchase unnecessary programmes or services. Cost are kept to an absolute minimum and all we ask is that we are able to keep the site running for the benefit of the members.

 

 How do I become a Dreamer?


There are many plans and many dreams for a wonderful future, all of which will take time, but with your help, be that through your valuable presence or through whatever other means you are able, we can make those dreams come true.
Dreamers are those that are willing and able to actively support the site by means of donating some form of regular financial assistance.

 Will it cost me anything?


Only what you are willing and able to afford:

  • A Standard one month membership costs £2:00
  • A premium one month membership costs £4:00
  • If you would not like to become a dreamer but would still like to make a one-off donation of any amount, this option is also available

Both Standard and Premium memberships offer discounts for those willing and able to commit over a longer time period.

 What are the benefits?


Unlike other similar websites that create vast differences between their paying and non-paying members usually to cajole more people to join their support programme. It is our dream to have no difference between any of our members no matter how they support the Dream. Becoming a Dreamer  should be all about your wish and ability to support the dream and help keep our site up-to-date and online, not to gain extra status or access to extra facilities.

What you will receive:

  • A simple entry into our Dreamers Membership page,  HERE
  • A subtle Dreamers image in your profile,
  • Our gratitude and the appreciation of all the members who share the dream with you.

    The above will show that you financially support the dream and help keep our website functioning on a daily basis.
    (If you would rather remain an anonymous Dreamer, please be sure to inform us via email at lotrdreamers@lotrdreams.com.)
 What happens to the Money?


All funds generated for the Lotrdreams website are used to support the dream by paying for the upkeep and running cost of the website. Though at the moment the running costs are reasonably low,  we do expect a need to move in the near future to a designated server. This will considerably increase our running costs but will also increase the kind of service we can offer the members both now and into the future.
Any money left after the years running costs have been paid and a small kitty set aside for emergencies, will be passed onto charities nominated and chosen by you, the members (subject to checks and verification of the charities status)
Receipts will then be stored on the Dreamers page where members can see the extended benefits that LotrDreams and yourselves can offer...together.

 Can I just Donate?


Yes you can!

Donating as little or as much as you like couldn't be simpler with PayPals donation facility, quick and easy to use and yet versatile enough for anybody's circumstances. As in most things these days a small charge is levied against us by PayPal and as such we have had to set a minimum donation of £1:00.
 

 Accepted Payment Methods

 

  • Postal orders - Are accepted but please email us for details.
  • PayPal - its quick, its easy and its the fastest way to becoming a Dreamer
  • Credit or debit card - Through PayPal you can use you debit and Credit cards to become a Dreamer

    After submitting your payment please send an email to lotrdreamers@lotrdreams.com just verifying the name with which the payment was made including the recipients name and ID number. (ID no. can be found within the users profile in the Url address PF= ****** )

Errmmm, why is my child running away with my purse?
Oh no, catch them quick, that’s not quite what we had in mind!
LotrDreams is a non-profitmaking site. We don’t have any millionaires tucked away in any cupboards but what we do have is a small amount of overheads that need to be covered in order for us to stay afloat. These overheads include paying for the domain name, the web hosting company, licenses and any other minor yet essential bills that we need to stay online. None of our staff or admins are paid in any way shape or form and we do not gain in any way whatsoever from any monies received.


So who does gain? The members, your child or even you yourself if they have successfully convinced you to join too. They haven’t told you that bit yet? Ooops, trust me to let the cat out of the bag too soon. Well, as you know now, what are you waiting for? Come and see for yourself. LotrDreams is not just a place to play and chat, we also have a very in-depth role-play environment where your child can and will improve their writing skills. We have areas where role-play training is given, areas where your child receives advice and instruction from an experienced player,  that will teach them about how to add the 4D’s to their posts. Depth, detail, dialogue and description.

They learn in an environment that is nothing like the normal schoolwork format, whereby they are learning whilst having fun in a safe and friendly environment. For those who do not have English as a first language, there is prime and ample opportunity to continue and improve language skills, again, in a normal everyday environment where English is used in a more informal and relaxed setting. What better way to learn the difference between there, their and they’re than among those that use it in everyday life, many of whom also do not speak English as their native tongue, but who have learned and experienced its use enough to know now, thanks to the unity and comradeship we all share here. The one place in the world where wars are only make believe and everybody can speak, interact, learn and play together in peace.

LotrDreams is a place that is made as safe as possible for your children by our wonderful teams of admins and moderators. We are not just here for idle chat, gossip and txt cht wiv UR M8s, we are an organised site that brings together people from all over the world, but in order for us to continue doing so, we need your help.

As for any excess funds received, Lord of The Rings Dreams will be donating any excess (after finances have been covered and a small amount for nasty surprises is put by) to a charity nominated and chosen by the members. The financial details for which will be readily available as we have them.
 
*
Pokes* Now come on kids, give your parents their purses back and let them make up their own mind.
If  you would like to find out more, feel free to contact the admin team via the contact form accessible through the site
HERE.
If you would like to speak with somebody further or have any questions, the site is regularly monitored and a reply will be with you as soon as possible.
If financial help is not in your means or you simply do not wish to contribute in this way, we would still like to thank you implicitly for allowing your child's continued activity and contributions in making others LotrDreams come true.
