You can't really expect WotC to cater to the 134 FR-fans that actually liked Maztica
Why not? Is there a shortage of human hearts???

Has anyone done a campaign yet in the new regions that replaced Matzica?

As one of the deleted ones, I would like to apologize to everyone for derailing this thread. It was not my intent to do so but I did. Sorry

Apparently. But where will we have rules for ripping out PCs' hearts and kicking them down stairs to feed the evil gods?

I'm running one now. I actually kind of like Returned Abeir.

I actually liked Maztica and had the box set and all - but it never bothered me that they removed it from FR. It never felt as a part of FR.

Well to be fair they had a alot of..lets just shove it in the realms going on in 2e. I myself did not mind as it was a big world, but YMMV

We ran a Maztica* campaign once. It was fun, but I had no clue it was Forgotten Realms. It seems well-suited to its own setting.
Regarding the 4E FR setting itself - I like the idea of the "returned Abeir".
*) Not only did we have a campaign, many years later I sometimes drove with my parents Daewoo Matiz to our game nights - it got quickly nicknamed as "Maztica" and presumed to be running on Human Blood. Well, considering the gas prices, that might have been an interesting alternative...

The reason I ask is I wonder what tone you used in the game. I imagine a Returned Abeir campaign would be exciting, with all of the mystery of moving to a new world. Did any of your characters interact with the traditional Realms? I think that area has the most fuel for a good campaign in FR.

Can't help you there; the PCs are from Abeir, rather than characters who moved there. I've included references to Faerun, and the gnomish npc who accompanies the party is from there, but it's mostly all Abeir all the time.
As for tone, the game is centered in the Dusk Ports region, and I'm shooting for a mix of ancient Greek city states and Renaissance swashbuckling.
