  Hey guys important LttP question time.
  
  I really really want to make LttP... however, I question if now was really the right time. Everyone has put a lot of time into this project and don't want that time to be wasted. I'm just questioning whether or not we should continue it.
  
  My original plans were to just wait for adventure mode then remake LttP as a fully playable map. I got bored though... and eventually gave in and started making it on the server for fun. Then everyone flocked over to help, which was appreciated, and just sent this project into full swing. It's a great project, I love the game and I'm enjoying remaking it in minecraft... however it won't ever become fully playable in the server. Not to mention it would have to constantly be monitored for possible griefing when completed. I do not want to watch over it TBH.
  
  So! Drop by and leave your thoughts. I know we want to see the project finished, but is now really the best time to do this? It'll mainly be just a visual thing when it's done anyways. I'll follow whatever the majority of you guys want. Either way LttP will have to be recreated again in the future.
