[QUOTE="MartyW, post: 7664291, member: 6776795"] Give that man the cigar. It's all about cross-promotion - MMO, novels, core product, etc.. There are no Greyhawk novels and there is no D&D video game set in Greyhawk. All of their "other media" content has been set in the Forgotten Realms. Their most popular characters (read: money makers) are Drizzt and Elminster. They chose the Realms as the default setting for all their content for now (but they just won't admit that it's the "default" setting). Even D&D Online is getting the shaft due to its Eberron setting. No official Elemental Evil storyline for Turbine. Interestingly enough, Turbine is still going to release an "Elemental Evil" dungeon based loosely on T1-4, but it is Turbine's internal efforts alone and is not being promoted by WotC as part of the larger cross-promotion. I actually get the feeling WotC wishes DDO would die so they could get the license back (which is also why "Neverwinter" doesn't have "D&D" in its branding). [/QUOTE]
