I didn't necessarily mean 'unathorised' with a negative connotation. I'm quite happy for people to redistribute the mod in modpacks, as long as the majority of the downloads still come through the official links, which they do seem to. To be honest, I wouldn't want to be bothered with trying to oversee and organise all possible modpacks that people want to use. The LOTR mod isn't designed with modpacks in mind, anyway.

As far as advertising goes, please feel free to spread the word among your friends and anyone else who might enjoy it. But truth be told, I'm really quite happy with the mod's level of popularity right now. The community isn't too big for me and my team to keep track of. And time and time again we see that anything introduced to the mainstream is inevitably ruined (see: Minecraft itself).
