[QUOTE="Khairn, post: 3484347, member: 20153"] For WotC it would not be a good idea to start DI with 4E. Just consider the emotions that went wild when they decided to dump the magazines for online content. That's nothing compared to the strife that will ensue when they introduce 4E. That's why I think its important to WotC to have as many campaigns and players using the DI as possible. That way when they convert the DI to 4E, you can either continue to receive the support you've depended on to help run your games by switching to the new system Here are a few fun similarities between the new DI and the many MMORPG's that are raking in ooodles of money monthly fee's ... check regular updates, new quests & adventures ... check developers / programmers who gather player info for future updates ... check dependance / reliance on a central site to play the game ... check vocal players who are upset at rule changes that "nerf" their character ? ... check company / player co-operation in the development / playtest of new material? ... check paid expansions / new systems .... check The 2 are getting more and more similar every day.
