Dire Bare said:A lot of people are saying this, and maybe I missed something, but I don't remember any Wizards folks categorically stating, "we are not working on 4e."
Dire Bare said:I think you are misremembering and/or misunderstanding the early pre-3e research Wizards did that Ryan Dancey talked about publicly. It was pretty clear that "splat" books, like the "Complete" line in 2e, were BIG sellers and quite successful. Multiple settings supported at once and tons of monthly output did create a situation where D&D was competing against itself.
Dire Bare said:Um, they actually DID tell us that Dragon and Dungeon were moving to online formats pretty much right away. They just didn't give us the details until this weekend.
Dire Bare said:Why is marketing the D&D Insider hand-in-hand with D&D 4e a bad thing? If you don't care for the online component, you can ignore it regardless of when it is released. Their stated reason for 4e being released now is that their work on D&D Insider prompted the decision to role out 4e at the same time. They actually had very similar plans for the release of 3e (remember the "Character Generator" CD included with the 3.0 PHB?), but all sorts of crazy disaster struck and it never materialized.
It is a revised hat
F4NBOY said:The same way you said they need to prove that the rules are new, you also have to prove they are revised.
Since we know very little about the rules, and none of the sides can prove anything to the other side yet, your statement is completely flawed.

Your revised hat of 4E know no limit?DungeonMaester said:It is a revised hat but they say its a new hat.
Will the D&D Insider authors be considered "canon"? Yes, it is our
intention to treat this material as integral to the game and to the
campaign worlds.

Why do you dislike it? They've said since before 4E was announced that DI stuff would appear in books, too.carmachu said:Not enough information at this time, yet. There are things I like that I hear, but things I'm seriously disliking...like:
How is that any different from how material in Dragon was presented as 100% official content? Articles about the different campaign settings were close to canon as well. Now it just gets online instead. The material stays the same.carmachu said:Not enough information at this time, yet. There are things I like that I hear, but things I'm seriously disliking...like:
