Introduction
After over 2 years of building, we have finally decided to create a project on PlanetMinecraft for our Middle-Earth project.
This project has been worked on for several years and we have made a lot of progress already, but the download won't be avalible until we think we have finished enough.
Seperate locations on this world will still be released in seperate projects, to make sure you can already enjoy those without having to wait for our full and final project to be done.

Project information
This project will be updated about twice a month with new screenshots of progress we made, new builds, more information and maybe eventually a full download of the project, so we highly encourage you to subscribe to us and check out this project once in a while to check for eventual updates, if you like our works.


How we work
The way we build Middle-Earth is by slowly creating more and more of the most important locations. Once in a while we connect these locations with roads, and build some of the terrain between them. Because this is a huge 24.000 x 24.000 block project, we may not give each and every chunk of land as much terraforming attention, but we will do our best creating the best replicas of the important locations.

To define progress of this project, we have seperated it into several different regios, depending on location and style.

You guys are doing great, but I have a suggestion, you guys should add Hobbiton, the Goblin Kingdom, Beorn's house, Rivendell, the Woodlenrealm and kingdom, this would make the map complete, but keep up the good work, and thank you for doing this amazing Middle Earth!

Heyy Epicquestz :D Im a big Fan your builds make me happy :D
Ad here are my suggestions
Ithilien (the land of the moon) The Rangers of ithilien dwells there and protects Gondor 
Grey Mountains (Home of Durin's Folk) you should add them to Rhovanion because they were the Dwarves that fought in the battle of the Five Armies
Blue Mountains After Erebor was taken by Smaug the Dwarves scatterd and they built a Kingdom in the blue mountains they were close to Lindon (Grey Havens) they were friends with the High Elves

Blue Mountains and Grey Mountains are a good Idea.
The Orocarni, Near Harad and Far Harad are too far South and Easet, and had no defined builds mentioned in books or movies. 
Lindon has the Grey Havens planned, don't worry.
Ithellien is surprising that they arent already have it.
The Uruk Highlands arent in the books or movie, but a placeholder used in the Lord of the Rings mod.

Divici does things on his own, while recently EpicQuetz lets other people help them build. While Divici would have one artistic style, EpicQuestz would have many, so if they collaborated, Divici would just become one of many builders.
