[QUOTE="Orius, post: 3949051, member: 8863"] A lot of people also said "Advance the timeline", and I guess it makes sense. Look at some of the other D&D worlds. They already tried the Reset Button at least twice with DL ([i]Dragons of Summer Flame[/i] and that SAGA stuff, then the new 3e stuff) and presumably once with Greyhawk ([i]Greyhawk Wars[/i] and [i]From the Ashes[/i]). And we all know how well [i]those[/i] turned out. I think they've learned from the past; a big radical change to the Realms probably won't help it. Same with a new continent. Was Taladas ever popular in DL? And how many people in the Realms want to keep playing in Faerun, and not somewhere else? FR is a big seller, and the stuff that sells it is either in or under Faerun. Al-Qadim was fairly popular, but that's got it's strong Arabian flavor, and it's not necessarily a "core" type of setting. Same with Kara-Tur and Maztica; neither are core settings, and are they really popular enough? And would a new continent be able to build enough of a fan base? They already went into the past with Netheril and Cormanthor. They can judge by how well those did as to how well a past setting may do. Of course a great option for the past would be in the centuries after the fall of Netheril, lots of POL in a situation like that. [/QUOTE]
