User blog comment:LOTRMod/Why hasn't the mod updated to 1.8 yet?/@comment-28383306-20180321203840

Given what 1.12 is capible of (take a look at the level of detail and texturing some modders are cooking up), I'd love to see what Mevans could do with that kind of power to work with, but, as the article says, he's on Valve time, and I'm willing to wait.
