And yet another week in which I have no clue what to open these Times with... Well we had weather last week, guess the only thing left is just wish you a great read of this week's Times! May the rest be less boring!
It has been touched more than once already, but now @Tyranystrasz, who is also taking care of our facebook account, has done a 360° video in 1080p resolution. This is yet only a concept video, other locations may work better, if there's rather a motivation to look around yourself and spy into the side streets of a big city or enjoy the panorama of a majestic piece of terrain.
Check the Media of the Week for said video and leave your opinion below!

Project Progress
Andrast (In Progress) - Lead: @jacenpeter
Plugin DevelopmentJacen is always jumping a bit back and forth between terraforming and adding materials, but one can clearly see the "masterplan" he seems to have in mind for his mountain range, and I have to say that I am having a hard time competing with my mountains against jacen's terrain quality!
Anfalas (In Progress) - Lead: @kisos
No real progress.

Any surreal progress maybe?

Eriol has given his valley with the nicest curves since the legendary Booby Hills its final touches and then moved on right away to terraform the next valley with this meticulous but oh so beautiful terrain style.
Lamedon (In Progress) - Lead: @Eriol_Eandur
Eriol is currently working in Belfalas.
Misty Mountains (In Progress) - Lead: @Finrod_Amandil
This week I have converted a huge area from sand to stone. Some of it yet needs some fine terraforming (smoothing), but then the majority of the eastern hillsides of my current major section is done terraforming and ready to receive it's materials. I am also considering picking up the Gladden Fields again in the nearer future which will generate a huge amount of jobs!
Tolfalas (In Progress) - Lead: @Tyranystrasz
Tyran is continueing to progress in the technical novelty of WorldMachine and plans on documenting the not-so-intuitive tool in a kind of guide so that other it may be easier for others to get working with WorldMachine.
Valleys of Celos and Sirith (In Progress) - Lead: @Fireinferno13
In comparison to the rapid completion of Tumladen, progress has slowed just a tad while staff voxel in terrain. This includes the nearby mountains as well as the area surrounding the Celos river. Once terrain work is done there will be some jobs available to build a small village.

[Public Project] Fennas Drúnin (In Progress) - Lead: @thomasd16- Fireinferno13
The town part of the project has now entered its final stage, which of course is adding all the details between the houses. Outside the walls the work on the farms is continueing, a bit depending on Thijs polishing off the terrain.

Eriol has hired some more people to give the new NPW a try, all that have taken the time to read the information provided on site managed to get through it wouthout major issues. The implementation is taking a while, but it is on the move!

Mordor Pack (In Progress) - Lead: @bender400
No progress this week.
Flower Power - Creator: @Fireinferno13
Lately Despot has presented us his breathtaking 32 pixel resolution Eriador pack and this week he showcased a large set of new textures he had made for his 32x RP and has now adjusted to fit into our 16x resource pack. Some of the new textures come with very fancy block models and thus may be the first custom block models in our RP's beside of course the Dwarven Pack which features them already in great number.
Rank UpdatesNo progress this week.
Fire seems to have a flair for everything that grows, and now after carrots and potatoes he delights us with an all new set of flowers to replace our current ones:

Unfortunately I have to announce a resignation this week, and that is our Designer @Ryiw. He has decided to step down for personal reasons.
Wish you all the best, and whenever you will return you will be welcomed with open arms!
