    The Expeditious Eradication of The MCME Chat Censor

    I very much support what Ocean and Luke have said: what this boils down to is the culture we want on MCME. There's plenty of profanity on discord (an age protected environment) voice chats as it is, so I very much struggle to see why this is needed/wanted in-game text chat as well, when people...

    The Expeditious Eradication of The MCME Chat Censor

    I've challenged the "consensus" here on this very forum post. So it's clearly not unchallenged is it? Basing "community feeling" off a poll hidden in the bowels of the suggestions channel that a lot of people don't bother looking at, and then claiming it is somehow representative is what I would...

    The Expeditious Eradication of The MCME Chat Censor

    Posts like this obscure some probable valid points with floods of unnecessary jargon, waffle and ultimately defeat the purpose of making the post in the first place. All you needed to say was: "the censor seems to include some stuff it maybe shouldn't, and probably needs to include some other...

    ~:~|~:~ Update 04 - May 2025~:~|~:~ Section 01 - Mordor Approach Northern Ithilien is complete! After many years being stone or sand, it's morphed into a rather nice mix of heather moorland and woodlands that dies off towards the northern end as it encounters the contagion spreading from the...

    Contest Freebuild Spawn Build Competition

    ~ Freebuild Spawn Build Competition~ Build me a spawn worthy of Freebuild! That's right folks, it's competition time! As Freebuild has been extended, and the spawn point has been moved, we'd like a new spawn area that's impressive, helpful and encourages new commoners to stick with our...

    Build tutorial repository

    In preparation for new player world having a section on "building tutorials". Can we please allocate somewhere in plotworld for people to put their tutorials that they've used in jobs? I'm guessing the "Stencils" plot area is probably most suitable?

    Diagonal Duplicate

    A lot of adventurers seem to encounter the Diagonal Duplicate of Durin's Bane in the western end of Moria, which kinda spoils the surprise of it waiting for them at Durin's Bridge. Could we possibly get this duplicate moved somewhere a bit more hidden? The lower caverns at the bottom of the rift...

    Project areas

    Another idea to potentially increase engagement in mainworld/moria building from commoners and adventurers. As I understand it currently project areas are chosen solely by the build team. Proposal is that when a project area is finished, the build team come up with 3 potential new project...

    Themebuilds and what to do with them

    I'm sure the build team have had this discussion before, but I'm just curious on people's thoughts/reasons it's not been done before: Is it possible to use good (and finished obvs) themebuilds as placeholders for non-existent/expired projects in mainworld? E.g. Orruss did a rather nice Emyn...
