[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6670398, member: 7006"] You're kidding, right? It "couldn't hurt"? Yeah, sure. They can just pop on to say "We're considering doing Eberron, Planescape, and Al-Qadim at some point"... only to have the psychotic masses not only post a thread asking "WHEN IS PLANESCAPE BEING RELEASED?!?", but then NECROing said thread every month to allow people to rant and vent and claim WotC is lying to them when they said they were considering Planescape as a setting. (Hello 'OGL' and 'PDF' threads!) And when it was accurately pointed out that not only might WotC *still* be considering it as a setting, but also that they [i]never gave a timetable for when the setting might actually get released[/i]... those salient points would just get ignored and those people would continue to just scream about how WotC sucks and isn't it too bad D&D couldn't be owned by some independent company who would listen to the fans? So yes... it *would* hurt for them to just suggest something that they're casually thinking about. Because some people would get bent out of shape that it wasn't then being released IMMEDIATELY, others would get bent out of shape that they were considering X setting and not the Y setting they thought WotC should be making, and the rest of us would have to wade through all this muck in multitudes of posts and threads banging our heads against our desks as people keep insisting they are deserved something because WotC off-handedly mentioned it. ;) [/QUOTE]
