Your post seemed a way to patronise another poster by suggesting that they have made a valueless comment, and yet your post also tries to sound like you're very respectful, quite an odd mixture. Maybe if you had engaged with the comment, rather than just decry it as irrelevant?Forgotten Realms has - to my knowledge - always been the big dog, and its mixture of hyper detail and a Tolkienesque tone (though in practice quite a different world) must surely be seen as parts of that. Eberron is a fun setting, and has a lot to offer, but even in the rarified world of D&D settings it is niche. I cannot see why anyone would look at historic D&D sales - books, novels, etc - and conclude that any setting other than Forgotten Realms was worth focusing on. The exception would be Dragonlance, but mostly because the actual novels are worth adapting - simple, popular, short, iconic. I wouldn't imagine that the setting itself was all that important in the grand scheme of things, though.</blockquote>
