Our goal as a team is to realize the world of J.R.R. Tolkien as closely as possible to his vision. We hold the lore to a very high standard and
will try not compromise to it. We use the films for inspiration, but base our visual design mainly on the descriptions in the books and the works of
Ted Nasmith and John Howe. We work very hard to bring a quality greater than that in vanilla Skyrim. We want our work to be looked at on the
same level as that of a professional game.
An Open-world Middle-earth RPG like no other!
Currently, we have a complete heightmap of Middle-earth (over 9 times the size of Skyrim!). The first stage in developing MERP is
landscaping, and creating settlements on our heightmap. The next stage is designing interiors, then creating NPCs, quests, and so forth.
Full Ringbearer storyline:
Play the role of the Ringbearer, Frodo Baggins. Its up to you to decide the fate of the One Ring. Will you journey to destroy it: from the
quiet Hobbit town of Hobbiton, to the fires of Mt. Doom, or keep it for your own selfish desires? Will you follow the famous path taken by the
Fellowship, or do you destine to take your own path? The choice is yours to make. One fell step could mean the end to Middle Earth itself!
Heightmap:
A map over 9 times the size of Skyrim. From Forochel to Harondor and from Forlindon to Rhovanion and every town and great city in-between.
Weapons and Armour:
Wield new weapons and armors designed specifically for Middle Earth.
Quests:
Adventure awaits across all corners of Middle Earth! Join the White Council, become a soldier amongst one of the great armies of
the Free Peoples, or simply travel from town to town. Your own great journey lies ahead!
Battles:
Join in many of the famous battles in the War of the Ring: from the Battle of the Hornburg all the way to the Battle of the Pellenor Field.
Creatures:
Meet and battle all the known, and unknown, creatures of Middle Earth: new farm animals, Ponies, Boars, Wargs, Trolls and even the mighty Balrog!

Latest News: MERP January 2013 Update
88 comments by MiddleEarthsBane on Jan 6th, 2013
Happy new year everyone!
Its been a while since the last news post, so we thought we'd make a new one for the new year just to give everyone an idea of where we are at currently. Don't worry, we haven't gone anywhere.
We all had a lovely Christmas over at MERP HQ, its been quite quiet, but then again, we've had no work to do. Hope you lot a had a great Christmas and New Year too!
So, the bit every one wants to know about, how is the C&D situation going?
Well, we were in contact with WB's attorney before Christmas, but haven't spoken to them for about a month due to the holidays. We hope to get back into negotiations soon, but because of their other lawsuit with Tolkien Enterprises, we've been swept under the rug a little. It looks more hopeful than a few months ago, I'll put it like that. The negotiations are currently under an NDA, which is why we don't post much anymore, but the team are still actively fighting for MERP.
The petition also just surpassed 26 000 signatures, which is just mind-blowing, we never thought we'd even get a fraction of that, so Thank-you so much for getting so many people on board and for your continued support on here and on out Facebook page.
We hope to be able to tell you more about the situation as soon as possible.

- Happy Birthday Tolkien! (January 3rd)
That's all for now, but we hope to post more soon!
-Happy new year from the MERP team

Thanks for pushing to 30k guys! Will make a post this evening.
Thanks for never giving up on that mod! :)
What is the meaning of getting an update? I mean if the're was something big the team could tell us, wouldn't they have done it already?
If there is going to be an update, it will most likely not be the words everyone is dying to hear. (Wb has lifted the C&D!)
I don't think everyone is looking for an 'update' per say, I think everyone just wants to hear out of the MERP team. It couldn't hurt to just hear how they've been doing and what's the current situation, could it? :)
That's exactly how I feel.
I absolutely understand what you are saying but do you think Wb is going to be ok with the MERP team telling us what is going on behind the screens?
I'm ofcourse not against the update but I think that people are thinking that the goal has been hit and that the battle has been won.
Well here's the thing: (all of what I'm about to say is just my opinion, so I can't speak for everyone)
Do to how Warner Bros. is handling this and the lawsuit with Tolkien Estates, it has been a long time since we've really heard anything about MERP. It can be difficult for some to wait for a long time and not know what's going on, and that's why everyone is so excited about reaching 30,000. It's a little reminder that all this waiting and our loyalty to the cause means something. I can't say for sure whether or not MERP will ever happen, but it sure helps knowing that there's more than 30,000 people supporting the cause.
Anyways, that's just my two cents.
If its a penny for your thoughts and you put your 2 cents in what happens to the other cent?
Tax
Damn government
