I like advancing the timeline within reason but skipping a whole hundred years I didn't like. Though I'm not a fan of the world-shaking events that come with each new edition. I'd be cool with them doing a hard reboot back to the initial 1E timeline, but I don't think that's likely. I stopped incorporating timeline changes in my FR game, I haven't used anything since the end of 2E. Actually, I don't even use much of any timelines in FR anymore except what I make up. I just don't have the inclination to read and remember all that stuff anymore and my players could care less. I never played Greyhawk in the 80s or 90s. I read the section in the new DMG or at least a good portion of it. It left me with the same opinion I had about it after playing in a Greyhawk campaign and reading the Greyhawk Gazetteer and the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer in the early 2000s for 3E. I'm not going to say it's a bad setting; it just didn't wow me and almost seems kind of sterile IMO. Maybe it's because I didn't play a lot of the early 1E modules set there. I'm just guessing but I think the appeal for a lot of the fans is nostalgia for the setting as opposed to the setting being really good.</blockquote>
