A good find, Mr Dave.

I like the fact that it starts up right next to The Downs. I also really like the rendering the Downs has got. It'll be interesting to see how the rest of the map plays out. Will there be Movie versions of Rivendell and Lorien? Or new versions or... erm... Biscuit versions?

Of course, its for the on-line game so its full of stuff which isn't in the books - at the extreme zoom position you can make out a couple of same sex marriages for instance - but I still think its great. When Rivendell, Minas Tirith & Barad Dur pop up it should be a fantastic way to waste a few hours...

I ws quite disappointed when this turned out to be untrue!

If it's full of stuff not in the books then I suppose it might have a winged Balrog somewhere, eh?

It's beee-ooo-tiii-fuuul!

But is it me, or are the Old Forest and the Barrow Downs tiny in comparison to the City of Bree?

That's from the MMORPG, right? Funny how the Shire can be seen only from close by.

Waiting eagerly to have more maps.

EDIT: Xd with davem.

For a long time now I have fought the urge to buy WoW as I have seen how it can make peoble forget about work and University, but if this is a good game I am not sure I can do the same. . .

So is it any good?
