[QUOTE="William Ronald, post: 1032363, member: 426"] After taking a little time, I voted for 4 years and they should. I expect some business pressure for a new edition. Also, I can see the possibility of enough feedback from 3.5 players to encourage a new edition. I do not have a problem with buying additional books four years from now. Three years would be too soon, but I think perhaps working on it a few years before it is released (with a lot of input from us, the customers) would be something I think I could accept. However, I think 4.0 would best be created with a LOT of feedback from players and DMs, along with a great deal of playtesting. I think that perhaps the most valuable thing a company has is the goodwill of its customers. With this, a company can survive hard times. Without this, it may not survive in good times against sharp competitors who have loyal customers. Darkness, I would put the WW option under other along with such things as: "Peter Adkison, Monte Cook, Sean Reynolds and Gary Gygax buy the D&D license." "Bill Gates takes over WotC." "Magic starts working, and we finally KNOW how those spells ought to work." I would like to hear what some people in the gaming industry think. I like to think that D&D 's great strength as a brand is the fact that people are still playing the game after several decades. (I have been playing since 1980, myself.) [/QUOTE]
