I would venture to suggest that the reason most people play Third Edition is because they consider it the best edition, or because they play with people who do.There's no reason to believe that Fourth Edition won't attract the vast majority of D&D players. Perhaps not the vast majority of people currently playing First Edition AD&D and other older editions, but the vast majority of D&D players as a whole.There's likewise no reason to believe that EN World, as a whole, will not adopt Fourth Edition.I just don't see where you're coming from with your "we'll all be in the same OOP basket soon enough!" statements. Indeed, after all the venom that has been spat by players of older editions toward those playing Third Edition, I would imagine that diehard Third Edition players who refuse to switch to Fourth Edition wouldn't feel much solidarity with their supposed "comrades".</blockquote>
