Maybe I just don't understand it, because I'm just a person interested in Middle Earth and not a Middle-Earth Fanatic, but idk.

(I also don't understand why so many people are freaking out about the incoming game "Middle Earth: War of Shadow"... Is it just because EA is doing something with Middle Earth, but not something what actually "happend", so something "lore-friendly?) Because it's no longer Tolkien's universe, which is what we are trying to replicate, is it not?

As for Shadow of War, it's a blatant cash grab that tries to milk the popularity of Middle-earth, while creating a practically unrelated universe.

Ithilion, Discussions Moderator (Auta i lome) 23:25, March 9, 2017 (UTC) To be fair, we are not trying to do anything - Mevans is, and he has every right to add whatever the heck he chooses, no matter how un-canon or un-popular. If he wanted to add Galvorn tipped Black-Arrows in beta 32, I would support him entirely. Since Mevans has stated that he makes decisions based on many factors (including, but not limited to canon), all we can do is express our personal opinions, and understand that he by no means is obliged to act on them. This is why I'm so happy that Mevans is developing this and not someone like Ithilion
