[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 9308189, member: 8461"] I'm expecting them to take action specifically designed to assuage the harm to the community that they caused (because yes, harm was still caused despite them backing down; when you shake everyone's confidence in something that was previously treated as a bedrock, that's harm). The CC was a decent first step, but it's not the last one; hence why we're still waiting for that "review" of the 3.0, 3.5, and/or d20 Modern SRDs over a year later, even though that should take them maybe an afternoon at most, since they've all been out for over twenty years now and to my knowledge there's been no accidental release of WotC's IP from them. Personally, to regain [I]my[/I] trust, they'd need to do the following: Create an OGL v1.0b, which adds the word "irrevocable" to Section 4, and which is released into the public domain the same way Paizo did with their ORC License. That's it. That's all I'd need. It's not like it'd take them that much time, effort, or money...or really [I]any[/I] time, effort, or money. And yet somehow that's a bridge too far. I suppose while I'm dreaming, I'd like them to open up the DMs Guild to earlier editions of D&D also. Let people make compatible materials for 4E and Essentials, 3.X, 2E, 1E, BECMI, OD&D, B/X, Holmes, etc. They wouldn't even need to put it into the DMs Guild per se; have OneBookShelf throw up another mirror site (seriously, they're good at that; just look at Pathfinder Infinite and Storyteller's Vault and DriveThruComics, etc.) just for the earlier-edition stuff. They can call it the Old School Rchive (see what I did there?), and the fans would eat it up. Plus they'd make more money off of the sales, the same way they do for the DMs Guild. Also, some new SRDs for those earlier editions would be nice also, but that one would take actual effort on WotC's part, so I consider it the least likely...not that [I]any[/I] of this is likely from the current leadership. And yet people [I]still[/I] act like this is asking for the moon and then some. [/QUOTE]
