[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 9452417, member: 7635"] Consider this. D&D is a house WotC has lived in for the past 10 years. They have made it a home and added little things to it over the years, but now they want to tackle a major renovation project because the house isn't working for their needs as well as it used to. They have two ways to do this: 1. Strip the house down, move a few walls and add an addition, and then redecorate with fresh paint and such 2. Knock the house down and build a new house using ideas of the old house in the new blueprints. You're still going to have the same basics (bedrooms, living room, kitchen) but the first updates the basic structure of the old while the second is a fresh start from scratch. And where you fall on this Reno is dependent on what you feel about the old house and what needs changing. Some people are happy that the house isn't changing except for that weird closet being fixed and the new family room on the back. Others want a brand new house that better fits their evolving tastes and trends. (And a non zero number would be content to burn the shack to the ground and move to a different neighborhood). The problem comes when (like an HGTV reality show) the people can't agree on which plan to do. Remodeling keeps the good parts but not every bad part can be fixed. A whole new home brings with it unforeseeable complications and a far greater cost. Neither is perfect. [/QUOTE]
