Good day! Welcome back to another Times with msaug. This week progress has been happening but has been a bit slow for Dol Amroth is still on hold and exams have been creeping around the corner for several of us (less than 8 days left TI). But this doesn't mean plugin progress has slowed down as quite a good bit of work has been done on them! Now, let's get on with this week's MCME news.
Project Progress
Andrast (In Progress) - Lead: @jacenpeter
Texture DevelopmentOnly a little amount of work has been done in Andrast for Jacen and matt are studying for exams.
Belfalas (In Progress) - Lead: @Darki
This week, Eriol continued with the terrain near Dol Amroth. There is still nice progress at Daddlio's terrain plotbuild which started near Linhir but draws near Ironmere now. Daddlio has also made several streams with the help of people in jobs.
Dol Amroth (On Hold) - Lead: @Thijs1801
Concepts have been built and plans are being made. The official plans will be released as soon as Finrod approves them, then the building will start. To see some of the concepts in game, do /warp DAConcepts
Lamedon (On Hold)
No changes this week with the project being on hold.
Mordor Terrain (In Progress) - Lead: @Tyranystrasz
Now, I believe Tyran has completed the terrain for Mordor in World Machine. Tyran is now working on texturing the blocks for Mordor.
Moria (In Progress) - Lead: @Despot666Thomas has been ruing Ivan's hall in jobs still and it is going along nicely. Patrick has also been doing foreman duties in Moria and has been building and ruing more halls. Fireinferno has been working on his halls too and has finished a part of them. Ivan has also been building and ruining.
Tolfalas (In Progress) - Lead: @Tyranystrasz
On Tolfalas, a road has been made and some small farms outside the town has been made. Vegetation has been placed on the northern side of the island and on the small islands just off the north cast of Tolfalas. A beacon has also been built on one of these small islands.
No news this week.

Mapthor has had his bookstore for a few weeks now but he has got very few stories in it. Mapthor needs your stories, so if you enjoy a bit of writing or even reading, here is more information about the bookstore and how to get your books in it:
@mapthor has been making a Bookstore in Bree with stories written by you in it. If you want another one of your stories in the store, then please write your story down and message it to Finrod! The length is pretty irrelevant, all it has to be is authentic. That especially means:
- No items that would not exist in Middle-earth.
- No MCME player names.
- No conflicts with the known storylines.
