First, I want to say I am really excited to be here.
I started playing LOTRO at the end of July last year with a real life friend, who was a long time LOTRO playing. I happened to start during some crazy double xp extravaganza and got my hunter to 75 so fast I missed a lot of the game content. I got to 75 and wasn't sure I really liked the hunter and was having to backtrack to finish out so much stuff I missed I ended up completely overwhelmed and stopped playing about 6 weeks after I had started.
Now, its 8 months later and I have found myself really wanting to play LOTRO again. I still consider myself to be a complete newbie to LOTRO, especially after a hiatus and so many changes that have come out since then that I want to sort of start over and really enjoy LOTRO as it is supposed to be.
I am a long time MMO player and know my favorite aspect of any game I've played is the community. Having people to play with that enjoy the game as much as I do is important to me and my first mission was to find the right kin. I've spent a couple of weeks reading over the Landroval Kin forums and finally came across the Shadowbane information. Shadowbane seemed to meet the criteria I was looking for in a kin and I am glad you all have decided I meet yours as a kinnie.
My plan now is to get back into LOTRO with my minstrel (currently level 28) and actually learn the ins and outs of LOTRO and level at a pace where I can experience all the game has to offer. I am really excited to spend time with you all and hopefully not make a nuisance of myself with millions of questions.

Since there is no edit option, I apologize now for all the grammatical errors above. I re-read it and cringed!

Welcome Fiorcha! I know what you mean about not really getting the most out of the game at first. I don't think I really got comfortable with everything until I got to Moria around lvl. 50. The XP disabler I bought not too long ago also really helped me to control the pace of leveling and enjot the content a bit more as well. Anyhow, welcome to the Kin, hope to see you in Middle-Earth soon!

Welcome!
I understand what you mean by being rushed. I came back after being away for a year, and took Tyraleth to 85. I then realized I had no idea how to heal on her. So I turned to my RK Ronaldir, and with an XP disabler, to learn to play my character as I went.

Welcome, Fiorcha! Looking forward to seeing you in game!
As to the side issue of not being able to edit one's posts, I've come across it, too.

Welcome back! If you don't already have it, be sure to take advantage of the Helm's Deep half-off sale.

Getting from 85 to 95 by questing in West Rohan was pretty easy. I had to use the XP disabler to do things on-level. The epic quests did a pretty good job of leading you through the different areas. The big warbands are more aggressive, so keep your distance unless you're part of a group.
You'll get lots of quest gear, so don't bother upgrading anything until you get to 95. If you have good 85 LIs, they will probably be just fine (unless the latest update has radically changed things).
When you get to Big Battles, find someone to duo them with. They can be frustrating solo, and it's the same battle whether you have one or two.
