first off, we have 3 coders, 3 mappers, and a music artist sofar. and i did email nintendo before we even started mapping for the project. and how was zelda a mini version of LOTR? they didnt even make a lotr game until 3 years ago. zeldas been around since 88'. and at the begining, you can choose your race. like deku, zora, forest kid, etc. we have asked for story writers that atleast know the story line of zelda, because we want to throw our own little zelda twist into the mod. and after seeing all the responses about the whole nintendo issue, i am 50% sure they will say yes, and then 50% says no. i have no idea but if they say no, im not going to stop, i will ask them please if i even put up a legal note that zelda is there fully registered trademark. and we need more that just 1 person for each possition availible. i mean making mods isnt easy, let alone a mmorpg would need alot of people doing stuff to work on it constantly. and as far as the free donations from the server admins, im hoping that maybe QAPete would be nice enough to run one using there new dell power server that he recently bought (with our donations might i add). and squirrel made a good point, about the not having to pay for one mmorpg and paying for the OFFICIAL. you see, if they made a mmorpg, it would be way better than ours, i can already tell, basicly because there pros at making games, and we are just a mod community. so i dont expect Nintendo to get jealous over a mod done by a community over a game done by pros.
thnx
