[The Lone Penguin]

Hello all. I've lurked here for a while but have only posted once.

Since ME mod is not going to happen due to legal issues, I got to thinking: What about that ME game that Daerk mentioned a while back? If I remember correctly he wanted to build his own game, obtain a license from the Tolkien Estate, and sell it. My question is: if Daerk returns, will this still be possible? Or it would it also not be possible due to legal issues?

I really hope it will happen, because it seens like our only hope for an accurate Middle-Earth RPG. I know Daerk has not been heard from for a long time, but I believe he talked about starting his own game company someday. Though I didn't know him personally, he doesn't seem like the type of person who would give up on something like this.

There will be no MEGame, and Daerk will never be heard from again.

What do you mean by that? I thought Daerk was busy with real life issues at the moment. Why will he never be heard from again?

Oh, no reason...

LOL

So were you serious?

I doubt that we're going to see a Middle-Earth game the way you guys were going to make it, at least not from the current companies. EA is all about the movie games, and the few book-based games haven't been very good either.

There is no reason to believe that Daerk will return. Suz made a post a while ago about Daerk's disappearance from the Mod team. We have been unable to contact him since that time.

We all need a good laugh :lol:.

Well, let's just hope Daerk is all right. Maybe it is selfish to wish that "he will come on a white horse, in shining armor, and save the MeMod" (when, by the way, it has already been said that his coming back won't change anything) if he has more important problems of his own to take care of.

[The Lone Penguin]

I wasn't trying to be selfish, I know he has more important things going on. And I know his returning won't save ME mod (where did I say that?). I was merely wondering about the ME game. I didn't mean to offend or disrespect anyone.

Lol, sorry, I wasn't talking about you in specific It's just that I've already seen other people saying "Ah, if only Daerk was back" or stuff like that
