I agree with Vicki! When Sierra's customer service went down, we (on
the realm) were all informed that Middle Earth wouldnt even be started
for at least a year, if not more.
Also, Stephen Nichols is the one who is doin all the developing. As
any realmer (ex realmer even) knows, Stephen blew us ALL off and left
for greener pastures. He was one of the only ones actually
implementing stuff in the game, when he dumped the game, everything
suffered. Any game being worked on by such a fickle person would have
to suck. Maybe not at first, but eventually he'll lose interest in
that and dump it too.
