To be precise, however, their main issue appears to be with the semblance of commercialism on our site (e.g. the ads and cafepress shop we used to help cover server costs), as well as possibly with our prominent middle-earth.us domain name.
Thus far the settlement talks appear to be going rather well, and I'm cautiously optimistic we'll be able to reach an amicable resolution; we might even emerge with some sort of limited license or official blessing from the folks at TEnt to continue operations.
Of course, it's also entirely possible that they will simply shut us down, and will do likewise to any other Tolkien MU* that draws their attention in an official capacity. Therefore it'd likely be prudent on your part to avoid investing a lot of time and effort in development until this thing is resolved and we have a clearer idea as to where the company stands on such matters.
