[QUOTE="Tyrian_Spellstealer, post: 3713564, member: 36470"] Don't forget the digital content they're offering, which seems to be turning the dnd game more into an MMORPG then an exploration of the imagination (the words "monthly fee" keep popping up all over this digital dnd content thing, but that might be only for certain aspects). And here I was arguing not but a month or so ago that ISRP was clearly in need of an Eberron room because (in part) of the amount of support wizards was putting into the new product... and here they go slapping me in the face by probably not releasing a 4e product for Eberron till at least 2009. With only one more product release due in October this means theres going to be a very dry 2008 with practically no Eberron releases besides novels. (That said, I still think there is a need for the setting here in ISRP and am not done trying to get a room up yet for it, but thats a subject for another thread). That said, wizards does appear to still be backing the setting strong, even with the release of 4e, so I can only hope that it will come back bigger and better. When 3.5 was released I promised I'd never play the system (it was only until Eberron was released that I went back to playing dnd again because I just fell in love with the setting). I don't think 3.5 has had a good enough run yet (3.0 certainly hadn't), and I once again get the feeling wizards has lost touch with their customer base by releasing 4e. At this rate, I give them 3 years till the announcement of 4.5. I'm going to stick with 3.5 till they re-release Eberron, but I'm not going to completely count 4e out till I've seen it, some of the concepts they've been pitching are intriguing, some are not. My only concern will be weather or not its been tested enough to get all the 'bugs out of the system' so to speak, and hopefully not warrant any new rule systems for a very long time. 4e has been announced, and they're not going to pull the idea. Instead of complaining (which they have every right to do, and I agree wholeheartedly with their cries of foul vulture-money-grabbing accusations), I hope the dnd community instead pulls together to make sure WotC get it right this time so we don't have some cheap .5 edit released mere months later.
