[QUOTE="bento, post: 3704075, member: 36597"] The biggest stumbling block WoTC has to overcome with 4E is the fact that most people have dropped out because of scheduling constraints. When we were teenagers we could always find time during the weekend to play for hours, and in the summertime play for days. Now that we're adults with jobs and families, when we have the urge to play the difficulty is (1) finding a group and (2) getting everyone to agree on a time and place. WoW has picked up millions of folks like me because #1 & 2 are limitations like they are with pen-and-paper. Game play itself is an important consideration for CRPGs, but if a PnP game can't help me overcome the first two hurdles, CRPGs look more and more attractive. If WoTC can come up with a better way for players to connect with players and provide a platform to run the game, I see good growth potential. Otherwise games like WoW or the new LoTR will continue attracting players who have always liked to play fantasy RPGs. [/QUOTE]
