[QUOTE="Ancient Gamer, post: 1021202, member: 13235"] Seems that 2nd Ed AD&D was the most popular and played RPG during that time. 3rd Ed was believed and still is by many that it was a way to pick up sales for WotC for its new HASBRO masters. You can't really sit there and say I didn't play AD&D because of "whatever" and 3rd Ed is what "made" me play D&D. I suppose you don't like your veggies either. I dare someone to step up and say they had a lousy time playing 2nd Ed AD&D, if you do then where do you get off by saying 3rd Ed is sooo much better, when "within 3 years" they have to have the core rules released. So much for the "thousands of hours of play testing". :( But, I digress, I am willing to admitt that there are improvements and they where needed, "if" one was to remain current with the evolution of the game. Still, if that is so, then it's evolutionary scale would still be around an ape and a ways to go before we reach a homo-sapien-sapien equivalent. Wow! That would be many more Revised Editions for D&D, wouldn't it? Maybe I should wait for the 100th Edition before I decide that I can have some fun with the game! :mad: My apologies for the sarcasium, but I get fired at the idea that someone would use the excuse that they didn't play AD&D because 3rd Ed D&D was what they were waiting for? When the messy fact is this 3.5 Ed is more of a 4.0 Ed. Who really cares? I've bought into the scam, and I'll play 4.0 (3.5 :) ) and life will go on, birds will chirp, flowers will grow, and the neighbours dog will still bark at midnight! [SIZE=3]Look it's 4.0 Ed D&D!![/SIZE] Cheers! :D [/QUOTE]
