Has there ever been any official correspondence with Bethesda about TR? If so, have they provided any kind of cooperation or anything?

As far as i know there was never any cooperation between us and Beth besides some lore trade and questions, but Bethesda knows of our existence and have talked of us on several interviews, specially the ones concerning the new CS.

Actually, it's more like the we've never gotten anything special from Bethesda or Zenimax and we were mentioned as a name in an interview. It was something like "which will be easier for large mod projects, such as Tamriel Rebuilt."

Our contact with them is no different from any other person involved in the TES community.

Has TR ever asked for their advice or help or anything?

some COMPLETELY retarded noob emailed pete hines, without asking the mdoerators, about his stupid idea of making all of it in the WORLDCRAFT editor and bethesda selling it - he got a reply that reinstated the obvious, that TR would never work as a commercial product.

I wouldn't be afraid to try emailing bethesda for help on, say, the exact shape of the hammerfell border (for zeph to finish his map), or more info on how the new exterior system works.

Well think about it. Oblivion soon to be published. All the PR, marketing, interviews and the other known and unknown curses of celebrity might be taking their time. Also, if you posted on the forum, unless you keep the topic alive, it'll be vanished into the bitspace

Yeah, I kept the topic alive. AND it was one of the few intelligent threads. it was near idiotless and asked alot of modding questions that we know nothing about.

I have contacted Bethesda asking for some insight into my Psijic Order conspiracy paper. Hopefully they will respond at some point.
