Role: KING of Gondor
Role Name: Aragorn
Weapon: Anduril
What i can offer: Construction of Minas Tirith, osgiliath, and helms deep 1:1 scale for realistic purposes
We can't do it 1:1 because of the limitations of the engine. I will probably attempt to edit the world's terrain to be lower so we can make things higher though
i still get to be aragorn amirite?

tobi... QUIT BUGGIN' THE HELL OUT OF ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The basic idea that we're going to start with is that wherever the spawn is will be the Shire. We will proceed to create Hobbiton, the Brandywine river, and Bree-Town for starters. If we work in correspondence to the path of the fellowship, it should get us started really well, help us to keep our geography right, and also scale the constructions from less-to-more difficult.
What i was thinking is when we go to make thing like Minas-Tirith, we can kind of create the mountainrange using MCEdit and bring the rest of it down to 10 or so till bedrock and create plains then it would go back up again when you hit Mordor. I dunno how this all will actually work till it's put into practice though.
Yes! I am so in! Im kinda new to this site and i love LOTR. The only thing i love more than Lotr is Star Wars. Im in i will help and i will be a Nazgul. i will start a skin tomorrow...

I like this idea a lot. But for you people saying minecraft may not handle it? Minecraft can have a world up to 8x the size of the earth. A 1:1 scale of Middle Earth widthwise wouldn't be too bad. Just pointing that out =)
Awesome idea, I just don't know that I would have enough time to help out... I will keep watching this thread!
Good luck!

This space for rent.
No cost, just convince me you have something worth supporting.
If you are interested in this project and you think you are very well versed in the lore of Middle Earth, please notify me. Will need people to direct geography almost constantly on so no one starts building a sky penis or something.

Keep in mind that we will be starting in the Shire, Hobbiton, and Bree-Town. So humans and hobbits will be your best bet to fit in.
If you're a skinner start making Humans and Hobbits, as that's what I personally think people should be using. Odd to see a Uruk-hai running around helping to make a hobbit-hole.
For now, we will work on projects one at a time, there will be a good deal of organization involved. However what I will try to do is allow people to make personal dwellings where relevant and inside cities and such. Basically, though we will try to keep a stylized architecture to Bree-town, people will be allowed to get lots and build a house to their liking inside Bree, and we will also make things like farms and such along the roads, so expect plenty to do.
I want to have a small staff of OP players who know the lore and the way things look really well (If you currently play LOTRO it is a good reference far as architecture). When you want to make something you will ask them for permission so you don't damage the accuracy. There won't be a Khazad-dum under the Shire, but if you want to make a farm along a road outside of Bree, that's fine.
Once the server becomes more popular we may split off into seperate groups, maybe good and evil and work like that so there's more than one thing going at a time, but we're not going to do it where if you want to make Isengard or Minas Tirith you just run off and make it. This is why I will have MCEdit setup, anything illegally made will be removed no questions asked.
Hopefully the group we get on will be mature and patient enough to keep this system together and we will have a lot of fun.
Me and q220 talked last night and confirmed I am not the hacker-guy so we will hopefully get the server operational sometime today.
Just thinking out loud here but if we are doing this in alpha (which i think we are) then we need quite a few people to go mining (and tree cutting) so we have at least cobblestone swords as defense right?

Join, it's not the full server yet, nothing we do will be saved. I'm gona be messing with some concepts if you want to join.
We're experimenting to see if we can turn a heightmap into a MC map.
