War of the ring... Delayed.

Well I have no good news to bring you today about the war craft II conversion. It seems Gurthaur's hard work may just be for naught... But I'll let you read his words, which are right from the source: Due to legal copyright problems with the War of the Ring project, it has been (Hopefully just temporary!) paused, and might eventually be cancelled.. It all depends on the mercy and goodwill of the Saul Zaentz Company, which holds the exclusive rights to pretty much everything having to do with the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings. I'm sorry to hear this news, both because I was looking forward to playing this game, and because I think what is happening to it is wrong. Gurthaur spent alot of time and energy making this game for the love of it, which no aspirations of making money. Visit his site for more information Here.
If the War of the Ring project comes to an end, it will mean about 1 1/2 years (+ the foregoing half year when the project had "something to do with honoring Tolkien's memory"), of more or less hard work going to waste... Unless we use the graphics already made, and use it for a non-Tolkien project...
