Hey, you f***** up now you're going to pay the price.

How did we f*ck up?

The government?

Yes, but to blame the war on the American public like you are is an idiotic thing to do. We have no control over what decisions our government makes and we dont even get to really pick our president. So how could it possible be our fault for invading Iraq and out poo now that we are dying and want our people to return?

We will not continue to make this mod for ourselves, we were making it for all of you and to say that we made it. Also as Suze has also said... We know the plot and every event along with every easter egg and NPC. Finding a lost tomb of an ancient king after a long and hard quest, testing every on of your skills, normally would be amazing and you would have a huge sense of accomplishment. But if you knew exactly where it was from the start along with exactly what was in it and exactally how to do the quest, it wouldnt be. It would be like planning your own surprise party.

That is why we are not making MEMod for ourselves... Yes I would still love it, but I would love more to say that I helped in the creation of it and the pleasure that all of you would have from its release for many years, hopefully.

I too would play MEO if I could get over the constant urge to throw up at every error and lie in their world... I think if I saw a hobbit casting it would take me over the edge and I would bust something near.

I dont even want to imagine Minas Tirith... God... Newbs running around the White Tree shouting that they are selling 1337 bootz of L3g0L4s.

We are not releasing the memod because of legal reasons: we'd be breaking copyright. we're not going to do it in an underhand manner either.

Will people please give up on the bloody stupid ideas, for christssakes?

we're not going to rename the entire thing. we're not going to put it on a russian server on the Mir space station and give you the access codes for it to be launched to you from orbit. we've not going to bloody well go on a piracy spree impersonating johnny depp, get ratarsed on rum and accidentally give the memod out. we're not going to chuffing well distribute it by Kazaa. were' bloody well not going to give the content to Middle-Earth-Online. Got it?

Deal with it, for f*ck's sake, before we go insane.

Memod is closed. it's not going to be released because I'm not going to risk the members getting nailed for breach of copyright. if that involved deleting the entire workload, that's what I would do, because the wellbeing of the team members is more important than 3 years work.

I dont know how else to get this across... We will NOT change the names.... We will NOT release it on bit torrents... We will NOT get "hacked".... We will NOT send letters to the copyright holders pleading to let us release MEMod... We will NOT give away our models and textures to a game company... We will NOT just release our work in packets... We will NOT hire lawyers... We will NOT continue making the mod for us.... We will NOT "work in the shadows"... We will NOT make up a loophole... We will NOT give the mod to anyone to release it... *Rynos geting tried of typing all the ideas that some of you had thought of....*

oh...

WE WILL NOT CONTINUE ON MEMOD.... LET IT DIE IN PEACE....

*10/5/04* Still freckin pissed people are not reading these or do and still post dumb ass things.*

*5/14/05* Dito...

Im coming into this kinda late but ive been lurking...

Two things-

1. Aprox. 6 million jews died in the Holocaust, not 19 million.

2. _It_, could you maybe stop using "txt-speak" and use some punctuation please. It helps people read it easier and it doesnt take any extra time.

September 25, 2004

Wait and see. :lol:

Domhnall,

You want to hire a lawyer and look into copyright laws go ahead...

But MEMod is dead. It isnt coming back... as Suze said wake up. We were misinformed by Daerk on the matter and cannot contact him... Even by telephone.

None of us on the team are willing to be sued and have any future in the game idustry(or other employment) risked. Were we sued they could seize all assets and we would be screwed... no.

Let me first say that I am no lawyer and that most likely this way out has already been discarded by the Devs, but let me write it out anyway ... (what's have I got tolose?)

1) MEMod team contacts Vivendi (EA, or whoever would own the right for this kind of game) and "sells" them the project of MEMod,.

2) Vivendi buys a license from Bethesda to use the TESIII game engine (I think such sales have been done in the past, particularly with all those Halflife-style games (sorry no expert there either, couldn't quote))

3) MEMod team finishes developing MEMod which is then sold by Vivendi as a stand-alone game.

Why I think everyone wins?

Vivendi - gets to release a good game, potentially very profitable, with very low development costs.

MEMod Devs - complete their dream, and most likely make some money out of it.

Bethesda - they make money out of a an old game engine which, by the time the game is released, will have been replaced by a brand new one (TESIV).

Alright, I admit it might require a lot of persuasion and numerous sales pitches, but why not giving it a shot?

Whatever happens, thanks anyway for all the wonderful work you've done!

... from a newcomer that couldn't have joined at a worse time!

I am no lawyer either... under no circumstances will he change the names of people or places, this mod was a tribute to Tolkien and by changing the names we would not be accomplishing our goals. Also, MEMod with all of the realism that would make it like a real word, turns off the average gamer... A game company would not want to buy MEMod and the shitty morrowind engine as it would only appeal to a small percent of people without being changed, which we would not accept. I personally would rather see it die then have flameball casting dwarves added.
