For the record, I agree with you that 4e has a very old school feel to it. I think its directly tied to the DM freedom that is built into the system, that and the re-emergence of class as a central component of character, rather than just a suite of abilities to be chosen at level up. The emphasis is back on leveling within a class as opposed to applying classes to your levels. I think that is a big source of the disconnect for some players, as well. I could see how 4e would feel more constricting to long time 3e players (especially those who started with 3e) with its old school emphasis on class choice. |

Excellent post. I have to laugh at a certain overly vocal element here on EnWorld telling me what I feel/the kind of fun I'm having, is "wrong"- I'm delusional, there is no way I could prefer
4E by far over
3E for "old school" style, nor do I know WTF I'm talking about when it comes to "old school" in general, even though I started playing OD&D in the late 70s with the LBBs. You cannot even try to discuss it in a fun/interesting manner among others who feel the same way about
4E without the vocal "I know what you think and feel better than you do" posters beating you down line by line to "prove you wrong".
And yet another word from our sponsors
