Okay, we might have been joking a bit. Mevans is the modder that first created the Mod. Development of this mod started on December 11th, 2012, and has continued to the present day. As of 2017, Mevans is the only one who codes the LOTR mod, although the Facebook page is moderated by another group of individuals. Interestingly, he shares a birthday with this mod. Many users have taken this to mean February 1st, the day the first Beta was released, but this actually means December 17th, the day he first started coding the mod, and set in motion the events that led to this Wiki.
