We can only hope they do it well.  And if they don't - well, at least it was just a few elements of Greyhawk they messed up rather than the whole thing.To me, it has potential for a cool mashup.  I see no reason to go in assuming a bad sequel, when we have not even seen it yet.  Why not be optimistic, or at least cautiously neutral, rather than repeatedly assuming the worst and telling others it's going to be bad?</blockquote>
