Here you are. These links should give you some basic information regarding Middle Earth Online. Look through some of the previous news posts, they have posted bits of information as they come along.

Middle-earth Vault

Here is the second website. Stratics Central- Middle Earth

Have you ever thought of a name for your virtual middle-earth?

oops! good point.

Haven't, not yet. Any suggestions?

Wayfarer · 01-28-2003, 06:11 PM

How about Middle Earth Online? ]: )

Elf Girl · 01-28-2003, 08:56 PM

How about "Virtual and Completely false replica of Middle Earth"?

not funny.

Lalaith · 01-29-2003, 12:41 PM

God, what horrible suggestions. They are so lahme. I would choose some word that comes from a Tolkien book. Maybe a place.

How about Arnor or Arthedain?

Sounds nice. I'm thinking of a name which is typically Tolkien but that has not been used as a name of a homepage.
Should be difficult.

Pray forgive me, O congressmn, Lord of Entmoot and judge of other people's jokes.

As for the name thing, I don't think something like Arnor would work, as this is going to be a virtual entire ME, not just Arnor or whatever else it might be named.

Then how about "Arnor and Beyond"?

I hope you're just joking around.
Imagine
www.arnor-and-beyond.com
That would really suck.

Hey, the link didn't work...

What about MEVR?

Lalaith · 01-31-2003, 08:18 AM

This link should not work. It was just an example.
What about Arda or Ea or
Iluvatars world

Insidious Rex · 01-31-2003, 11:58 AM

ILuvatar World. Sounds like a theme park. Maybe it should be called TOLKIEN LAND or TOLKIEN WORLD. I mean if it works for Walt Disney....

Lalaith · 01-31-2003, 02:05 PM

I don't like Tolkien World. Sorry.
That would be too general and not really for insiders.

Wayfarer · 01-31-2003, 02:27 PM

Names that Have been used:

Middle Earth Online, which has been mentioned already.
Elendor and Beleriand, two tolkien mu*s. the latter is first age
Ardan Nights
Eru's Vision (now defunct) was a tolkien UO shard.

***Jonathan*** · 01-31-2003, 02:37 PM

Númenor is a nice name. And Lórien. But Númenor and Lórien are just small parts of Middle-Earth. The name of a "greater" thing would be better.
How about Cuiviénen, which is the lake where the first elves woke up?

Wayfarer · 01-31-2003, 02:59 PM

Excuse me...

A)if you want to make a virtual middle earth, you can't name it after any specific place in middle earth.
b)Middle earth was only a part of arda, which in turn was only a part of ea. It's not like middle earth is the name of the universe, it's just one continent, and thus, much better than any names that have been suggested.

Whats the elvish word for "virtual"?
