Guess what..
They don't have rights to Tolkien work outside of the The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Wrong. They bought the rights to do whatever the hell they like with it soon after the release of BfME I. That's why we have the travesty that is BfME 2 and it's expansion

*sigh* Who revived this topic?
Anyway, as far as I know EA only has rights to LOTR, but they have "creative rights" or something like that. That means they can be creative and add their own ideas alongside stuff from the books (hence scorpions, spider riders etc)

No, they have full rights to all of Tolkein's material.

I could have sworn they did. Perhaps they just have everything *other* than that one book.

hmm. I thought that as well...
Ah well we're arguing pointlessly now lets just change the subject.
Who IS actually gonna be getting the expansion? and since its a modding site, who here is gonna be modding it?

I'm not EA bashing at all here, but I'm wondering what exactly the incentive for modding the expansion is? So far I've seen naught but a new race and a couple of powers that look like we could create currently. Usually expansions that people want to mod add new features that could be used for modding - example Winter Assault which added a bunch of features that couldn't ever be modded into the game.
And if there's nothing new that can be used, why not mod only for non-expansion so that more people can play your mod?
Not that I'm buying it anyways.

I really don't do requests and my Arnor Soldier is not fit for BFME. Don't ask me for either.

why are all these people complaining ?
Tolkien lovers can bash EA for not respecting his work
Modders can delect themselves and watch out for the evolution of the engine (for I'm sure there will be tidbits related to CnC3)
and all can rejoice as this will bring life to a slowy dying T3A
and so, I raise my glass and propose a toast to EA !

Good point. Even though they are doing a pretty bad job of the expansion so far, they are putting in the effort to even release an expansion. So while I appreciate that they are doing that, I still think, as Nertea said, all we've seen could easily be done in a mod.
