Hey so,
I have good news and bad news. The good news is my research is going really well and I am gearing up to apply to graduate school in the Fall. The bad news is I am incredibly busy and think it is time for me to once again step back from the role of Designer. I simply do not have the time and/or effort necessary to give projects the love and affection they deserve in order to produce the best outcome. I have always been of the opinion that Staff should give it their all and, if they cant, step back so someone more motivated can take their place. Plus when I am able to come on, it is typically in the late evenings on the west coast of the US when 99% of the people who play on the server are asleep, so, its difficult to make any progress.
You all are incredibly talented and my favorite community to be a part of. Keep up the amazing work while I am away alright?
I may come back again, we will see how the world plays out, but it definitely won't be for at least several months. If it is not too much to ask, I would like to retain the rank of Artist in order to slowly finish up my remaining builds.
Cheers,
Fire / Frnfrn / Fiyah

Unfinished Projects:
- Moria Barrack (f5): I will finish this, it will just take time.
- Mordor Borders:
@BWOT is leading the last section in the East. Otherwise done.
- Northwest of Mordor:
- Dead Marshes: Terrain prep is done.
- Noman Lands:
@mattlego has done a great job prepping this area. It should be relatively easy to finish once the Mordor RP is finished.
- Dagorlad: Untouched, will need to be worked on once Mordor begins.
- Black Gate: Carved out, but will need work. I wanted to leave this region open to whoever ends up building the gate itself, as I am sure adjustments will need to be made
- Entwash and Nindalf Sources:
@Tyranystrasz is working on this. Someone needs to finish this.
- Textures: always happy to design a couple of textures, especially with the Mordor RP gearing up in the near future. Please just PM me a list on the forums with pics and I will see to it.
- Social Media:
@Eriol_Eandur is currently running our Facebook page single handedly. Would be great if 2 more people joined to help out, especially with setting up the Instagram account.
