Dear members,
Well, this has taken some time to come, but it’s been difficult to work out how to announce.
There’s not much of a way to beat around the subject, so it’s a simple statement. Much to our disappointment, the MeMod team have to announce that Daerk has left the active team producing the Middle-Earth Mod for Morrowind. While his sabbatical from the project has been noticed by most members of the forums for some time now, we had hoped that he would be remaining in contact and continuing to contribute to the production of the Mod.
As a result of his real-life commitments, this has not proven to be the case, and in his absence we are moving on, having decided we needed a present director.
Therefore, I feel that it is only fair to make it clear publicly that, the MeMod is in effect under different direction, and has been so since April, to an extent.
We’d like to thank Daerk for the time and effort that he was able to commit during his tenure, and we look forward to hearing from him once real-life issues are resolved.
We’ll not deny his departure from active involvement is a setback to the mod, but is has always been a team project, and not one of us is bigger than the mod itself. The emphasis, style, and content will change subtly with a different interpretation at the helm, but such is the process of development.
With Daerk’s step-down, likewise, we have felt that it is prudent to close down the proposed forums for MeGame for the S.T.A.L.K.E.R engine. Should the project proceed beyond initial stages of planning, then we can all be certain it will be announced in the specialist gaming press, and with its own dedicated website. For now, however, the members of the MeMod teams have felt that its presence on the MeMod forums is misleading and distracting to our own goal, that of a Mod for the Morrowind community.
And with that, let’s continue producing the game.
Suzerain, on behalf of the MEMod Teams and Devs.
Unfortunate News.

Of course, real life problems are much more important than the Me-Mod. May Daerk succeed in solving them and, in his own time, come back to the Me-Mod. It feels strange, however, to know that he has left the team... because it was HIS project in the beginning, right? However, I am sure that the team will do a great job, and that Daerk will be very happy with it when he comes back to the forums. Best of luck!

Hello everyone. I lurk here a lot but I never registered until now.
This is sad news, but real life always comes first. I wish Daerk good luck and hope his problems will be solved.
Did he actually say he was going to quit? Or have you not heard from him at all?
Either way, I'll remain hopeful that he'll come back someday.

And no, D was'nt the originator of the Memod, it was in progress well before he joined - just as it'd continue if any others, myself included have to leave.
Now where's that pie?
