Re: Rumors, can anyone confirm them?
If you want to create a Middle-earth based game without getting into legal troubles, your best bet would probably be to create a MUD/MUSH game and there are already several out there.
Also, several people on The Vault's Middle-earth boards are tired of waiting to see if Havas will actually bring out MEO (they claim they developed it, and it appears they did hire a new development team) and they are designing their own. The Havas situation is a little more complex than Legolas described it to be. There were actually going to be TWO games from Sierra: Middle-earth Online and Orcs: Revenge of the Ancient, the latter being a CD-ROM game. O:ROTA was discontinued before it was released, and MEO was put on hiatus. Tolkien Enterprises notified Havas that they had forfeited their license on the grounds that the game had been cancelled. Havas is arguing (in court) that it did not cancel the game, and that therefore they have retained their license. What Havas actually has right now is anyone's guess. |

Re: Rumors, can anyone confirm them?
Mud/Mush are fun but not as fun as a game were you can actualy see what your character is doing
I remember when i was playing Baldur's gate and i was hoping to be able to play a better game based around midle earth |

Re: Rumors, can anyone confirm them?
Hey Xivigg.... what you are proposing is to DO a Middle-Earth computer game??? If that is so, I must told you it's nearly impossible! Do you know the amount of work needed to produce something slightly good? Being a programmer, I can tell you it's impossible to do by ourselves. If what you propose is a board game, then it's possible and would be fun to create!

Re: Rumors, can anyone confirm them?
I think if you start out with something small and simple that can be expanded, it's doable. It would require a lot of dedication from the programming team, of course.

Re: Rumors, can anyone confirm them?
That's it folk
i resign what i needed is doer not critic It was a good idea but since we start from nothing it's almost impossible (without talking about the copywright) board game can be more feaseble but we need a damn good idea (and again we are not talking about the copywright) |
