Few players go to the extent of reading Tolkien's essays and such, and the mod so far has already gone with the elf theory in the corrupted elves.. Changing it would, while not having a huge effect on gameplay, would confuse players and fill the wiki and FB page with posts like "Why were corrupted elves removed???" or "I can't find corrupted elves anywhere!". Wouldn't it be better to educate the populace on the most likely origins of the Orcs, reversing the misinformation spread by the films?

Ithilion, Discussions Moderator (Auta i lómë) 20:28, April 28, 2017 (UTC) But that same 'misinformation' is also in the LotR and the Silmarillion, so it's not fair to blame it on the films. I wouldn't even say it's fair to call it misinformation, because the Men-origin idea still doesn't line up with the most finalised version of the timeline.
