User blog comment:Smaug the Tyrannical/Inquiries about Suggestions.../@comment-27723099-20141222142135

Mevans sometimes spends some time to read on the wiki or FB page. Glaerdir (MG) also reads and forwards some suggestions, I think. Otherwise there are just too many suggestions to read them all for me. No other FB moderators show much interest for the wiki and I'm not longer actively working for it. The hype from some people to make as much suggestions as possible doesn't seem to stop. So the chance that a good suggestion is seen by the mod team is really small.

Many suggestions are already planned or have been suggested before. Others don't fit to LOTR or are impossible/too difficult to code. Unfortunally most fans have no idea where the limitations of coding are and even FB moderators don't know about that exactly, so Mevans usually has to decide and filter it himself. A suggestion is good if:


 * it is originally (not suggested before, nothing obvious to suggest).


 * it is easy to code. This is hard for most people to judge. Even if other mods did something, it's still not sure that it's as easy for this mod.


 * it adds to the gameplay or the LOTR athmosphere.


 * it fits to the plan for this mod. Quests, cities, main characters etc. will be added much later. For Rhun/Harad suggestions, this is a good time because these are planned for the next update(s).
