I doubt it will be top down. But whether or not they talk about starting in a limited region and expanding out, there are still plenty of options that could be covered.So back to the question of what the campaign setting design is going to look like and how they are going to use Greyhawk to show it:
Do you think they will be using the design philosophy of starting ina limited region and expanding out, which means we will only be getting a small portion of GH (like the Saltmarsh region, as an example) or do you think they will be advocating top down design and we will be getting Oerth?
A lot of people may expect them to use the Free City of Greyhawk as an example - and they might. It would certainly be a useful example of a large city near a major dungeon adventuring site. Big cities, however, are pretty complex to start with. So maybe they'll start even smaller.
They would have a pretty good reason to use the village of Hommlet as an example starting location. It's small and easily defined and has a well-known adventuring site not too far away. Radiating outward we've got places like Nulb and the city of Verbobonc offering support. Outward from there we've got places like Greyhawk and Dyvers as well as the international political situation between Veluna/Furyondy and Iuz, the trade rivalry between Dyvers and Greyhawk, etc.
