[QUOTE="Ralts Bloodthorne, post: 2803244, member: 6390"] I have no hard data. Merely the fact that FR has a far larger fan base due to the old SSI games, the old NWN game on AOL, and the fact that FR has been out for far, far longer. I'm sure that Eberron defenders could leap out and point out that X from Eberron outsold Y from FR, but when you get right down to it... FR is older. FR has much much more data available on it, making it a game designers dream. Eberron on the other hand tries to hard. FR naturally supports the "Kill the dudz, rob teh phat lewt!" campaign style, as proven in prior video games. FR has more modules, giving further ideas and easily made fan-support community mods. There are a lot more FR novels out there than Eberron. Plus, marketability. Eberron is damn near unknown of, but quite a few parents would know what FR is than Eberron. If nothing else, they picked up the classic Gold Box games when they were younger. FR would be a better, safer, and more viable marketing setting than Eberron for the MMORPG. But, I'm willing to bet within the next 10 posts I'll have people shouting down my suggestions, insisting the FR is out, and Eberron rules because of the War Forged and other quirks it has. [/QUOTE]
