I have noticed a slow down of interesting topics that do not directly address 4E, the end of 3E or anything of that nature. At least it seems to be that there is a distinct lack of general RPG ideas being discussed as opposed to, say, 3-4 months back. I haven't really read anything I've felt the need to comment on or brainstorm about because frankly, I got tired of D&D long, long ago. My own opinion of this new MMRPG (just dropped the 'Online') is that it sound even more limiting instead of less and I already find D20 too limiting. For me.
I must emphasize that this is all IMHO. Its just a feeling I have with no right or wrong or attempt to sway the opinion of other placed upon it.
Time will be the judge as always.
