[QUOTE="Thornir Alekeg, post: 3812158, member: 15651"] I think the other thing is that the Eberron changes were only going to advance things by a few years. This would create more havoc with ongoing campaigns as they would be in "recent history" and the PCs would be more likely to survive to the see the changes. I assume as a result, the changes were not going to be quite as world shaking, and WotC can probably slowly introduce them over time. FR on the other hand is a massive change. They are almost wiping the slate clean. It is more of a shock to people, but those who want to keep their campaign going have space to do so without running into conflicts with the new material (of course they don't get any new stuff of their own). People who want to play the current publications pretty much have to restart new campaigns, or jump their PCs ahead in time and cut the connection to their own recent history. Since I haven't played the realms in years because I didn't like the way they were taking them, I don't have much interest in keeping the staus quo. I don't know if the changes will bring me back to the realms, but if your petition succeeds, I know I won't go back. [/QUOTE]
