[Long-term] [Freelance] Tales of Middle-Earth project looking for experienced mappers.

"Three rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for mortal men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne;
In the Land of Mordor where the shadows lie.
One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them;
In the Land of Mordor where the shadows lie."
---------------------------------

Tales of Middle-Earth is a story-driven MMORPG
where you will be able to make a living and
go on adventures in a fantasy world we all know.

The quests are based on the many stories
told by the heroes throughout the ages of Middle Earth,
taking you through stories like The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings,
Children of Húrin, and many more stories told by Tolkien.

You can choose between the iconic Humans, Elves, Dwarfs, or Hobbits to start your adventure,
with a later addition of a playable Orc race.

After a few months of active development, with tons of progress,
it is time to branch out so that we can progress in other areas as well before releasing a test version.​

Current working grounds

This means in general we have tons of work available for people who are looking for something, being it either smaller tasks or for people who are looking for something long-term.

Currently, we are working between the areas of Hobbiton and Rivendell, which is roughly the size of the mainland of retail Tibia, and that is Act I out of 6~

On the minimap here you can see our current progress regarding the map, what is most important is the west side of this map, which holds most of The Shire. Near the brown spots to the left is Hobbiton while Rivendell is located near the brown spots to the right.

The eventual world map of the continent of Middle-Earth is already mapped but we are following the Quest for the One Ring at first, thus makes sense to map the areas that follow the footsteps of our heroes at first.
-------------------------------

What kind of maps are we looking for?

The areas we are currently mapping hold a lot of ancient histories passed down over three ages, some areas are barren but even then they tell stories. The locations in this part of the world are unique as there is a mix of everything, from lush biomes to bogs and ancient forests, next to barrows and pieces of land that have seen war.

All pretty close to each other, there is a certain transition, especially seen from Hobbiton, going from a rich, farm-like country, the further you move East, North or South, the more dangerous it becomes. There is one single road called the Great East Road running from the Misty Mountains towards Hobbiton, which one could "safely" take without "much" trouble.

The most important thing for now is to work on the over-world, slowly leaning towards creating dungeons and the tunnels of Utumno.
-------------------------------

Whom are we looking for?
For people who are willing to work on a freelance basis, we will mostly ask for small assets like houses, small caves, a tower, a bridge, a mansion, etc etc..
As these are often quick requests and basically unlimited until the server is finished really..

Larger areas that do take a longer time, it is always better to give that to someone willing to invest their time into researching the world, although anyone may reach out if they are a fan of Tolkien
-------------------------------

How to contact us?
In any case, feel free to see how far the current project is by reading our patch notes in our DISCORD
