D&D 4E Do you think WotC rebooting Forgotten Realms for 4e would be a good idea?

I've been thinking about it and I've come to the conclusion that a "reboot" would be ok IF (and only IF) they cut back the power level. I have little confidence they're going to do that given that it seems like they're going to ramp it up even more in 4e, but that's what I think will make a reboot a good thing.

I say that as someone who has been a realms fan since the 80s. In fact, that's one reason why I say it. I think the 1e and early 2e stuff "felt" a lot lower-powered than what they're publishing now. That's not to say it was all that low-powered, just not as high-powered.

As a long time FR fan (19 years), at first I was hesitant, but come to think of it, the Realms has become a bit polluted.

I just listened to the Green Ronin Podcast. Chris Pramas & Erik Mona briefly talked about the high entry barrier for FR DMs. What they said was close to what we've been discussing here.
