There are a lot of Greyhawk fans out there who no doubt feel their favorite setting has been passed over and abandoned by the current designers of D&D. While this sad turn of events has stirred up frustration and discontent amongst fans, we shouldn't forget that there are options still open to us as a gaming community.
Our voice counts for something, and that is why I propose a letter-writing campaign on behalf of Greyhawk. When you think about it, letters are powerful things. They're tactile, take up space on a desk, and demand they be answered in kind. Furthermore, they resonate with energy, and are hard to throw away. That's why I believe actual letters will have a greater impact on Wotc game-designers than an irrate email or a request thread on a messageboard.
The tone of these letters need not be aggressive (or rude), merely firm in the resolve that you would like to see Greyhawk receive more support and funding than it has seen in the past few years. Illustrate that you are a loyal customer of Wotc, one of many that wish to see the setting restored to its former glory. Tell them what D&D and Greyhawk mean to you.
Lastly, ask for your response. Do not supply an email address. Make it known that you have taken the time to write to them and deserve an equally respectful response. This will have a greater effect than you think. If you find that response to be dissatisfactory, you are well within your rights to continue your communication with Wotc, requesting that Greyhawk receive the fair and equitable treatment it deserves as D&D's classic setting.
Remember, this is your chance to be heard. Do not be dissuaded from what others might write in response to this email. There is nothing wrong with consumer feedback. All companies encourage such behavior and depend upon it for their livelihood.
If you love Greyhawk, make your feelings known. All you need is a stamp, an envelope, a piece of paper, and a few minutes of your time.
