====== Building News ======


I know we have some builders out here, so lets hear what we are waiting on for the 30+ zones out there that aren't opened!

**General**

A project is in the works as of 10.2007, involving a number of lower level builders, to design and implement new quests in existing areas, using existing mobs/objects/features of the game world. Implementation dates are unknown, but a number of quests have already been designed.

Project has been put on hold indefinitely. Explanation given was that despite the contribution of the low level builders, it still created insane amounts of work for the mudllers. Unknown how many quests were actually implemented through this project.

I can update everyone on that since I'll tell anyone who asks about this anyway: Originally I had hoped to add a lot of small stuff to the game with little work for supervisors or coders, like "70% design by a builder, 20% SV (me), 10% some code (mudller)" per project so that I could get like 5 quests for each "100% work" from me. It turned out that for each project a builder finished (we call this 100% now) it created some 50% to 350% for me (design, proofreading, giving ideas, thinking of appropiate rewards/mobs/mudlle-issues/balance/...) and some 20% to 300% for a mudller" (the % are bogus, of course, but I hope you got what I wanted to communicate). I have some 20 (smaller to larger, some more useful than others) designs saved and will return to it once in a while and get some of the quests into the game... over time. Since my current focus is Dol Guldur and other "minor" things, don't expect to see anything soon.

Sounds like it is going to open up in 3 parts.
  * The part that is already open
  * Up to, and including Helm's Deep [Actually Helm's Deep may not be in the next part to open. It could be in several stages. /Finwe]
  * The remainder.

The lower zones have not had item requests granted yet.  Not sure about the northern zones.

The area near Helm's Deep has been 90% complete for the last year.  I have not recieved any new instructions or seen any new todo posts in the zone for about 14 months now.  New mobs and items have been created, as well as the mudlle is all done. [Mudlle is not all done. /Finwe]
