I wouldn't mind an easter egg, like finding a large bow near his corpse. But I wouldn't want Lurtz, or any of Jackson's other additions inserted into the mod.
That's what makes Merp special (aside from the enormous map and high quality): It's fidelity to the books.

I started a thread about Merp on Forumshire (a really great Tolkien site with a lot of awesome people).
Hobbitmovieforum.com

While I agree that Warner probably won't sue them. It's the team's decision to make, not ours, and we should support them in whatever they decide to do.
They're doing this mod for free.

If the guy in that article I posted is correct and this lawsuit is purely a legacy issue, meaning it doesn't settle out of court, I could see it being over relatively soon (for how long these things typically take). Warner Brothers IS in a weak legal position and would likely try to settle out of court to avoid setting a legal precedent. Though like I said if this is a legacy issue and the Estate really just doesn't like what Warner Brothers is doing, it won't matter how much money Warner tries to throw at them. The Estate won't settle and Warner Brothers will lose the case rather quickly.
IF this is a legacy issue.

This guy seems really certain that the Tolkien Estate will win. Sorry if this has already been posted.

My favorite part.
"Based on their track record, there is absolutely no reason to believe that Warner Brothers has any intention of limiting their use of the Lord of the Rings to only tangible goods. The Hollywood business model, when it comes to paying people for their work or their intellectual property, is pretty clear. Take what you can get away with and let them sue you to make you follow the contract. Then lie if necessary to keep from having to pay them any money."

Warner Brothers is whining because Merp will draw attention to their own lack of effort.
Probably more so now that it's been revealed that they aren't so powerful as they'd have us believe.

I just started a thread about Merp on the One Ring net (TORn) in their forums. Newboards.theonering.net
I would have provided a link back there to this site, but I don't think that's allowed over there and I very much do not wish to be banned.

I started a thread over at Angry Joe's forum, a while ago. Angryjoeshow.com
If any of you guys have posted on there before, sorry for bringing it back up. But having discussions about what's going on with Merp can only help. The discussion over there has pretty well died down, but any of you guys are more than welcome to try and bring some life back into it.
In my last post I asked what you think the lawsuit means for Merp. If any of you guys have any speculation, facts, worries, or whatever. That's a very good place to discuss it. So have at it.
