Ok, so we know from noises and mentions in rules that lots of D&D settings are possibly returning in some way. The question is, how?
Many people found that setting books in 3e were too much (for example, there were loads of forgotten realms books, some were great, others less so) but many also felt that 4e's fire and forget approach (a campaign setting and a player's guide were wanting.
So, how would you guys like Wotc to approach handling its multiple settings in a way that would ensure, at some point, people got "their" setting.
For example, I would like to see them ape Pathfinder's approach. Paizo release 2 APs a year, if one AP isn't your cup of tea, you'll only be out 6 months before the next one (and two back to back APs are usually very thematically different).
I would like it if Wotc would release their settings and support them on a 6th month basis, so for the first 6 months, its all forgotten realms, campaign setting, player's guide, monsters and adventures. Forgotten realms not your bag? No problem, Greyhawk is only 6 months away. When they finally do all their settings, they could rotate back round with new material and adventures and such.
How would you guys like it done?
