Both were OOP by the time 3.5 rolled around and essentially rendered as useless as Song & Silence or Tome & Blood. The Living Greyhawk campaign was very popular until the end of the 3.x era. The real gauge for WOTC is Saltmarsh in the same way that CoS was for Ravenloft. If Saltmarsh was huge (and it seems to have been) then they may carry that over to a setting book (and they probably are for the anniversary). The surprise is more that people love to dump on Greyhawk as being “not popular” when it really seems to have actually been… it was Gary’s baby when you look at this data. By the time Carl’s work came out it was dying off for sure but they’d emphasized the Realms and pushed out intentionally bad GH products like their Castle Greyhawk and was it “Puppets” or something? So bad. These sales numbers just show that it was more popular, than some of the popularly believed to be more successful settings like Dark Sun or Ravenloft. It was more successful than Dragonlance. Very surprising to see.</blockquote>
