If you played Realm then you would know better then to even think for one
minute that with Stephen involved in Middle Earth - it's not going to be
anything but a mess. I don't think he could program his way out of a paper
bag! And I for one will NEVER buy a game that he is involved in.
Been there, done that! lol

People left Realm to come here for the most part, Sierra is in trouble -
Middle Earth is not being worked on at this time and it will be years before
it comes out if ever. It would not surprise me to see somewhere down the
road that Sierra sells the rights to it.

Its the same with everything in life, things change and in the computer
industry they improve at an alarming rate. On a Monday you can buy a state
of the art CD Rom and by Friday something better has come out.

I mean 2-3 years for a game is a very long time. I love EQ just as much as
the next person (for now-hehe) but that won't stop me from looking around
when something better comes out :)
