People of ToA, friends, enemies or people that I barely know.



My name is Arion A.I Adragón. I used to be Head-Admin on the old Tales of Ages server. While I was serving as head-admin there, I wanted to make a map using the tool called “Worldpainter”, a tool which makes it possible to create immense maps, with beautiful landscapes. I decided to make this map for the old server, but then I became a lil' bit bored with minecraft, and started to play other games. After weeks of inactivity I was demoted, and a few weeks (or days) later, ToA was disbanded and ToE was formed.



The map I wanted to make, was the complete map of arda (the regions that aren't in the lotr mod already). Including Valinor, Beleriand, the Dark Lands, Easternesse and some random tropical islands.

I want to know if anyone supports this idea.



But, I still have some concerns about the proper way of administering this map. These concerns are primarily these :

 
 * 1) How will we know where to go? The lotr mod map has a complete dynamic map with coords on display, but the worldpainter map doesn't.

Well, one of the most primary solutions I had for this concern was to make our own dynamic map, like the zombie servers on this game mostly have. (The big ones). Or to use my worldpainter map backup to check for all coords and place random tp locations everywhere. Please give more solutions in the comments to this article.

 
 * 1) How will we make sure, that people from other alignments can't just walk into Valinor, or any of the other lands?

Well I came with the idea, to use the alignment system of LOTR to our advantage. If I'm correct, it is possible to make sure that only people with a high alignment with a fac can tp somewhere. I might have to ask a good command guy about this, but I find this a good idea.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">For this one, I was wondering if YOU could help ME. If you are a good artist, map maker, or you are familiar with worldpainter in any way please drop a comment after reading the article. I also wanted to try and ask “Lord Dakr” a youtuber who has made extremely cool worldpainter tutorials and maps. (Check him out btw, to see what worldpainter is)
