[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 5772617, member: 59057"] Positive: Someone care´s about improving my favourite game. Do i believe it is a strategy to make money! Hell, yes... and I hope they do. Because if they make enough money with 5th edition (and maybe 4th edition combined, as I see no reason to pull it down with DDI working nicely) chances are, that the need for new editions is over. IF 5th edition is modular as they want it and if the core of the system is just a little bit more solid than 4e, then I really see no reasons why 5th edition can´t be profitable for more than 4 years. 3.5 was solid enough to be played for 12 years now, ADnD 2nd editon lasted even longer than that (IIRC). 4th edition did not last that long, as it, although a great improvement, limited itself by a too strong effort to have a static rules system that was promised to be unchangeable from the beginning. With essentials, we have seen, that some loyal fans were very unenthusiastic, because it allowed for more freedom. IMHO it was just what 4e´s initial launch missed! Chances for development! [/QUOTE]
