What do you expect them to do? Create new material for old editions? You do realize that creating such material costs money, right? And the stuff that doesn't is fan-created and can be found in the Previous Editions section of their Community Boards. I think your expectations of what WotC should deliver to fans of older editions are a bit too high.Nope. But this is what happens when an originization that was previously run by fans (organized fans, but still fans) becomes an arm funded by the company. RPGA used to run events for games produced by other companies too.Again, creating the content or code would require resources that any sane company would not want to spend. Your expectations are to high.No. Nor do they allow the sale of new PDF's. This isn't older edition-hate on their part, it's PDF piracy hate. The fact that the majority of us don't agree with their decision does not make this issue one of edition.Support Directly? No, for the reasons above. Indirectly? Yes, through the allotted fan space on their servers to discuss older editions. Promote? Yes. The recent highlights of fan bloggers does not disriminate based on edition. They have showcased DMs who play any edition.So you understand that an RPG company is not going to support older editions of their game. But that is not the same as not having a goal of uniting players of all editions of your game. Well them why take it negatively. They're reaching out and you bite their hand. Does ICE actually support the older editions by producing new material? Has Rolemaster changed enough between editions that a new supplement would be useless for older edition games?And many of us have shown that they have extended support (you have no inherent right to post older edition material on their messageboards) and promoted older editions (through article spotlights).</blockquote>
