Hhhmmm? Who the hell did that translation program. It needs some serious work. Alot of words didn't translate and then I couldn't understand most of what did translate.
Does anyone think that this will come the U.S. in an English language version? |

Re: Rumors, can anyone confirm them?
Looks cool.
I like the English translation of the title(from the translator): "The Gentlemen of the Ring". |

NO. ACTUALLY I THINK IT'S A CDROM GAME, NOT A BOARD GAME.

Re: Rumors, can anyone confirm them?
Actually, 'Sierra On-Line' (I put it in quotes for a reason that I will mention further on in the post) was planning to make an LOtR computer game.
It was going to be called Middle-Earth, was going to be a multiplayer game, and looked like it was also going to be very cool. Alas, it was not to be. 'Sierra On-Line' was recently bought out not once, but twice- the second time by Havas Entertainment- in the space of about a year. Since then, 'Sierra' has laid off hundreds of former employees, mostly those in the adventure game department. The first major layoff that I know of was named 'Chainsaw Tuesday' by... oh, I think that it was Al Lowe, a former designer for Sierra. On that day, 'Sierra' fired 150 employees. Some time later, on 'Black Tuesday' (as it is commonly known among the members of several of the 'Sierra' and Quest for Glory, a Sierra game, forums), 250 people were fired, and the Yosemite Department was shut down. The Yosemite Department, it should be pointed out, was the original branch of Sierra, founded b Roberta Williams back in the 1980's. It was, for some time, responsible for the production of adventure games- which had, in recent years, become less and less profitable, due to two main factors- first, their great cost (as, after all, highly immersive games with beautiful, tastefully rendered games with excellent plots, such as the QfG series, cost much more than crass, shoddy little productions such as Half-Life). Secondly, adventure games did not sell well. Although there is a core, so to speak, of extremely devoted adventure game fans (I would be one of them...), and there are those who may not be devotees or fanatics but are fond of adventuring games or simply amenible to them, most people would prefer to play Doom or Quake or Half-Life, the 'shoot-em-ups', so to speak. So, to make a long post short ( ), Sierra downsized most of its true employees and slashed the budget for Middle Earth. And, because the true Sierra employees are gone, and the true Sierra is gone, I now refer to the current 'Sierra' in quotation marks. Legolas (By the way... this was not in any way intended as flaming of 'Sierra'. I may dislike the company the way it is now, but I am merely expressing my opinion rather mildly; and I sincerely apologise if anything that I have said here has come across as seeming derogatory). |

Re: Rumors, can anyone confirm them?
That is a wonderful idea, but do you think it could be done without engendering huge arguments and hurt feelings? I don't think it's worth losing the community over. But I would love to see it done and done well if possible.

Re: Rumors, can anyone confirm them?
I think WE can do something very good without destroying Entmoot
Of course they will be argument but such argument will make the game even better (I can't imagine a project were everyone had the same view from the start up to the end) As for hurting feeling it could happen but i think everyone understand that not all idea can be keep And if we argue and explain our idea instead of discarting them as bad i think it won't be a problems |
