It's a great change IMO, and I know this is edition related, but I think 3.5e is great also. My group has two campaigns, one of each edition and we like them both. I liken them to chocolate and vanilla ice cream. I like both, but they're different flavours of something I like (ice cream <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ).I never went on Gleemax, but if it was as bad as some of the posters make it out to be than it's for the best, the concept sounded great, but execution was poor. I know I'm anxiously awaiting the DDI and am willing to give WOTC a chance (which I'm not sure why people aren't willing to as well)... didn't "New Coke" fizzle mightily? If everyone said "Well Coke is dead, they suck, etc. because a past product failed" we wouldn't have Coke Classic (my personal favourite soft drink). Everyone's in a no-lose situation with DDI, as they're at least offering a free trial (assuming that sitll holds true). If you try it and like it, then subscribe, & if you don't, then don't pay.... it seems like a no-brainer to me. If you subscribe and it doesn't end up working out & WOTC pulls the plug on it then you're out some cash, but you also received something in exchange for it by using the product for the number of months you've paid for. I wish all fellow gamers and fans of D&D the best and hope that our hobby can continue in the face of WoW and other competitors. We can all continue playing whichever edition fits our particular group, whether it be OD&D, AD&D, 2e, 3e, 3.5e, or 4e (or whatever other editions I'm missing), but at the end of the day just have fun. Anyways my two coppers.</blockquote>
