[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 5451885, member: 6957"] I suspect, but have no real proof beyond personal experience, that more people came back to D&D because of 3e - I was one of them, and I know maybe another dozen or so old timers who did the same. 3e resonated with our tastes and added the support via skills and feats that was lacking from 2e. (I had quit by the time Powers and Powers showed up - not a negative comment about those books, I never played a game using them, they could have been awesome and I would not know.) 4e... not so much - I know more folks who stopped playing D&D completely than I do folks who switched to 4e. I know even more who either switched to Pathfinder or are still running their 3.X games with the tottering mountains of material they picked up before/just after 4e was announced. And I know two who are retro-converting Pathfinder adventures to 3.5. I think that I know one person who converted to 4e, and he plays Pathfinder too. Ages, for the most part, 35 plus.
