This mod will be very similar to Persistent World. It will have many new features. The map will be the whole Middle-Earth. It will take a lot of time for players to explore the whole map. An advice: Stay in groups! You never know who you might come across in your travels through Middle-Earth...
I'm sorry if I sound pessimistic in saying this, but if you built this entire world, wouldn't it be too...well...big? When this mod comes out, you'd need a real top end gaming computer to play on this map well
You physically can't make a map bigger than 1024x1024, you should try making a fantasy map(not lore-wise) that balances and fits all factions.
How about stop nagging and maybe buy a better computer then? I think it would be perfect if it were that big :D keep up the good work man!
