Our group initially tried 4e over 3.x because of the "grass is always greener" cliche that we fell for rather hard. It was new, different, streamlined, that meant it had to be better right?A years long playtest drove our group to the conclusion that it was not better, just different. Sometimes just the opposite of what the OP posted happens. Sometimes when you play a new game, you realize that you were not really unhappy with the game you left it for.In our case we went back to 3.x and eventually integrated Pathfinder into that experience. Oddly enough 4e is still played sometimes, but no longer as an RPG. We have a DM who loves boardgames and converted his Heroquest scenarios and some of his Descent scenarios to use 4e rules with some pregens and streamlined character leveling options. It has been great for our group as a board game experience for days when we are missing a player. Our group is actually really looking forward to the Castle Ravenloft boardgame coming out next year as it will likely be another 4e-ish Board game we can play on off days.But for our group, the games we have been playing for years are all still loved. Sometimes you have to put them down for a little while and let the need build back up. Hell we still play 1e and 2 stuff every so often. When we finish the Age of Worms Campaign we are in right now, one of my players is going to run the Darksun Boxes for us from start to finish (those ones with the cool flip books) using their original ruleset.love,malkav</blockquote>
