[QUOTE="Nymrohd, post: 4027249, member: 59126"] @Mr. Wilson You are absolutely right in my book. In essence they are facing a big dilemma. They have so many changes (whether they are good or bad is not what I am debating) and they want to preview them all. On a less detailed world, a fast article like those we have gotten so far, would probably be enough to descibe said changes. But on the Realms, with their staggering level of detail, they can sound positively moronic. They could skip some of the changes and post articles that detailed well (not even exhaustively, not possible in an article) each change that happened in the Realms. And if it was well written, or if the writter was not Richard Baker (He who must be stopped, it seems) but Ed Greenwood, or George Krashos, or Steven Schend (just some names), there would be little outcry and many loregasms. I mean I personally dislike Greenwood's novel writing, but when the man spins some fluff on a random location, he can make it come to life. Will we get that level of detail on why the changes happend on the FRCS? I am not sure and frankly I don't think so. I would very much love a book like Eberron's Forge of War (I loved that book made my love Cyre even more) that detailed what happened during the Spellplague. Or a couple of well-written novels on that timeframe. [/QUOTE]
