AOE LOTR Mod dead?
Flinch @ 4:25 pm EST

We've been recieving e-mails requesting information about the Age of Empires mod based around Lord of the Rings. Frankly we revamped our Upcoming and Current Games sections to only reflect games that are actually going to come out! So here's the new polocy on Mods. If a Mod is in Beta and actually has a full time team working on it, we will cover it, BUT if a mod is "in the works" as so many are then we would give you list after list of mods that probablly wouldn't last more than a week! So if we find out about LOTR mods that you can actually download and are nearing completion we'll let you know. As for the AOE mod... they stopped sending us progress reports so I'm afraid the mod is no more.

Do you have information on LOTR Mods? Send them to Havens@TheOneRing.net.

ROTK Trailer on TT for GameCube and XBox?
Flinch @ 7:52 pm EST

Rumors have been trickling down that there is a Return of the King Trailer attached to the end of The Two Towers for XBox and GameCube. I'd like to put this rumor to rest. There is footage at the end of the game that is not from the Two Towers theatrical release. This footage is of Aragorn and Gandalf discussing the location of The One Ring. This may be footage that didn't make it into the theatrical release of TTT, but it is not an official trailer for ROTK. Should any further information develop on this, we'll have it for you first!
