[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 4381339, member: 22779"] The split according to the poll that this thread was forked from is 60:40, with 60% having made the switch. We're only one month into 4e, so, including that second batch in your numbers is a bit premature. Wait a couple of months and see what happens. There are no facts that suggest the opposite. SIXTY percent made the switch already. Which is IDENTICAL to the numbers presented here. In two more months, I'll be willing to bet thath the number will be about 70% as well. This is what I don't get. The numbers are EXACTLY THE SAME. 50-60% making the switch immediately. We won't know for a couple of months about the others, but, I have no idea why there is this huge assumption that it will be so different this time around. I'm more than willing to bet that it was the same when 1e went to 2e as well. People are making a tempest in a teacup. There is no huge divide other than in some people's minds. There is no "dropping off" yet. Heck, the fact that they've already gone to second printings pretty much points to a decent success. 3e didn't go to a second printing until months after release. Now, granted, we don't know the print sizes, but, considering this is WOTC, I'm going to guess that they're print runs are around a couple of hundred thousand. Not to bad for a game that growing numbers of people hate. [/QUOTE]
