It's not just simply punching trees and finding diamonds, it's about an adventure in Middle Earth. If there was a game exactly like the LOTR mod and not having anything to do with MC it would go viral. And I think that's what turns people away from this mod...MC's childish stereotype. It's sad really. One popular person said that MC was for 9 year olds, so everybody agreed so they wouldn't be mocked, and then mocked others for liking it. Then more and more people agreed so they wouldn't be mocked, and all the nerdy, geeky kids (the honourable group) who just wanted to do what they want and didn't care about following the populous in everything that happens prompted the popular people made the stereotype worse by saying it was for nerds and 9 year olds. And then the people who are just normal who played MC either stopped or played in secret and critisized others for playing it just so they wouldn't be mocked by the popular people. Hypocrites! This is how it works for all things. If you make a lot of friends and play sports (stereotype) people will follow you most likely. You know what? There is not one word in that paragraph I disagree with. Everyone follow those cool kids, but in my mind, only dead fish go with the flow. This mod is probably smeared by the fact that it is still Minecraft, and that game is considered to be so 'yesterday'.
