...well there is no good way to avoid stupid questions about TLD, is there?
'fraid not. Such is the way of things. And as things are my favourite topic here anyway...
Imagine the joy of answers people would get if they'd askabout the smart things. Such as:
What will your trolls be like?
...where we could get into things along the lines of Tolkiens concept of them being created as a mockery of ents and how we tried to show that and other things in our model, while still retaining a menacing and cruel look...
What about dwarves?
...where we could hint on the marvellous things in development, which will enable players to get truly immersed into the Tolkien world, which wouldn't be complete without dwarves...
And new weapons and armours?
...where we could just get lost in numbers of things and praise the clever modding of things by some of our inspired members, that greatly enhanced the pool of useable things in game for various factions, as you shall see, which already is by no means small, knowing we are in the final stages of replacing practically all native weapons and armours with our own up to the last slot of the item limit...
And how are orcs coming along?
...where we could disclose some tiny amount of things on the wee orc and uruk buggers which, compared to previous TLD versions will be the orkest and urukest ones we've ever played with and that come in so many varieties it'll be hard to spot two of the same...
Have you a dev version yet?
...where we could chuckle with glee and say you don't have clearance for such level of information...
But, alas, we do get bogged down in pointless prattle about trifling matters of petty concern with the good patrons here, which, you must understand, do demotivate somewhat at times, particularly after so many years of work we put into the mod, losing the mod leader in the process, salvaging and starting anew, etc.
But rest ye assured, progress of no small measure is being made every day and we are really putting every effort into making this a worthwhile exercise.
