They took it RIGHT off the scene, it's almost copied perfectly. But they added a few things themselves though I bet they could get sue'd for this.

[Dfdk]

Nice find...

As far as them being sued, it could only happen if it was the same setting, characters, and so on. (in other words, not gonna happen.

[Style]

Well they won't get sue'd, problally. But Dungeon map is almost a identical copy of the Mines of Moria from Lord of the Rings also the Bridge of Khazad-Dum is stolen at some small part.

I remember they changed the Dungeon map to a newer one and later switched it back to the old one.
Maybe they got scared they would get caught by Tolkien Enterprises :P.

Mansion - The Matrix
Dungeon - Lord of the Rings
Battle Arena - Gladiator
Prison- The Rock

Gladiator...WTF that looked nothing like that. This is all bull XD

They actually stole the Mines of Moria plan from LotR for Dungeon map.

No bull :clap:

Creativity is simply the act of filing off the Copyright number and replacing it with your own.

[MagicEy]

People who created LOTR wanted the dungeon to look realistic.
MAIET wanted the dungeon to look realistic.

Perhaps that is exactly what a dungeon looks like?

[meandme]

magic ey is bak?
lol nice turtle

[Devils_Angel]

Does it really matter? They probably wont get sued, so why is it such a big deal?

[MGSmaster666]

i feel like emailing, if you look closely, its a PERFECT copy (except for that table in the center of the first lvl of lvl 0/1 dungeon)

if you look close enought, the pillers in the long room look like PERFECT copies as well


i dont think this should stand :mad:
lmao

[HeAdShOtTy]

:sad: Lol Sue maiet so we won't have any more upgrades to GunZ ? I mean what's a game without CTF /Devolopements????? :busted: :busted: :busted:

Anyways it's just inspiration :woot:

Don't you think that they would've noticed after FOUR years?

[sukotu]

everyone knows that D:;

[Courl]

It's not a perfect copy.
The stairs is almost a perfect copy, though.
And the bridge with the gap in it at the pillars is almost identical.

But hasn't anyone noticed the PILLARS, man, those are EXACTLY the same.

[MGSmaster666]

man, i said that, looks like MAIET got lazy with the quests

MAIETdeveloperA: so, what about questing?
MAIETdeveloperB: i dunno, lets make one....at...hm...
MAIETdeveloperA: we can use mansion :thumbsup:
MAIETdeveloperB: oh thats great, thats great...now...for another one...
MAIETdeveloperB: ...hm...we can use prison, i mean we already have what we need
MAIETdeveloperC: NO, TOO MUCH WORK *slaps*
MAIETdeveloperA: we can use a dungeon level, i mean whats questing without dungeons?
MAIETdeveloperC: hm....didnt Lord of the rings have a dungeon with multiple areas like that?
MAIETdeveloperB: *rubbing face* ...yeeeaa.....
MAIETdeveloperC: *puts LotR in dvd player* good, watch this and make it



i dunno, i just dont think MAIET should get their ideas from a big movie, its uncreative

[fairyprincess]

they need to makes airplane map

/snakesonplane? <--------- most ************************ed movie ever

[Courl]

I think they recreated the map nicely and I think it's cool. :P
Though.. In the movie everything is so much larger, it isn't scaled.

[Jus_Blaz]

Nice post Fuzzy, i didnt notice, but it almost looks exactly alike. Thx

Hmm first few post are really stupid, if you knew, why post that YOU ALREADY KNOW, i hope noone cared. There are some ppl who didnt..

[Wench]

its not the same as Lord of the Rings.....
theres no fire at the bottom :=p:
