Ode To the Dev Team
Berendir @ 3:40 pm EST

This was written a few days ago on the MEvault, by Elronin "The Lone Bard"

Its a real good piece of writing he did, and definitely worth reading.

'Think of Tolkien and what will you find?
Wonderfull things you will see in your mind.
A Beautifull land with many different places,
Human and Elfs and lost of other races.
The wish we all have is to see this for real,
Yet Sierra does not seem to know how we feel.

Middle-Earth Online was promised to be created
And since them we have all waited, and waited,
And waited, aaaannd waited........

Information was not often revealed
And if we asked their lips seemed sealed.
But at the ME-Vault a damn good site
A Dev-Team came calling shedding some light.

Steve, Daniel, Janus these names we all learned
And for the game we ever more yearned.
True Tolkien fans were they in their heart
Because in making ME they let us take part.

Fresh idea's were put in the game,
Perma-Death was ever the cause of their fame.
None were betrayed, not the books not the fans,
But in the end Sierra pulled it out of their
hands

The Dev-Team, the fans it was not their fault,
That Sierra let it come to such sudden halt.

Dollar-signs are in their eyes,
And I wish that was their demise,
Yet fans will buy dispite their lies,
Behold the end of Sierra nighs.

For when the fans play the game,
Sierra will be put to shame,
Burn will their offices with eternal flame,
They will be crushed in Tolkien's name,

And in the ashes we will erect,
A monument wich will reflect,
That we must never repeat these deeds,
For now we have seen where that leads.

All we wanted was our dream made real.
The Dev-Team knew how we did feel.
They tried to grant us this one wish
And Sierra, in their wisdom, fed them to the fish
