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
86 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.

That's all for now, but we hope to post more soon!
-Happy new year from the MERP team

PS: RecoveryAnonymous, you are an absolute legend, all the medals to you :D

I endorse everyone to post their own MERP story much like OwenYulefield posted, even if it doesn't get all those views it means a lot to watch them and the support is lifting. I flashback to my old dreams of roaming Middle Earth. Maybe this can be a thing where more people will notice, it's a powerful message, imo.
I'm honored to have people basing their videos off of me :) Seriously though, everyone should make their own videos and share them on YouTube! If we get enough and spread the word, this could really help. Let's get a movement going!
A movement is a great idea. We should all try to make our own videos on youtube to raise awareness. While each individual one might not get that many views, collectively it could make an impact.
Exactly my point! Let's get the ball rolling again.

Nice work!!
This video is just what we need to use to help get more people's attention. It does a good job of summing everything up for people who havent heard of this mod or it's struggle. I really hope you'll let Recoveryanonymous spread this video around, it will help a lot. You both deserve to have cameos in the mod when this is all over :)
Great video and use of music; that's the spirit.
Would you mind if I used your video in a few threads I have going about Merp? It'd be nice to show some of these guys a perspective other than my own to help spread the word. I would credit you of course :)
If someone could please delete the guest comment made an hour ago that would be great, that was me but I realized I didn't log in. Anyways, thanks everyone for the compliments on the video! I really appreciate it. And for anyone who wants to use my video, absolutely yes. One hundred million times, yes.
