I also believe there's a point at which the rules differ so much that it's no longer D&D. But it's also a very personally subjective threshold when that occurs. I believe that "D&D" is impossible to objectively define. Although not an edition I prefer, 4E has enough familiar elements to for me to still consider it "D&D". For others, not so much. Personally though, since I feel that all RPG's are just houserule derivations of Original D&D (including all editions of D&D other than OD&D), then they are all D&D (which should make Diaglo...and Mearls...happy<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />).<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />  1) - Fighting happens regardless of subject or motivation. People like to fight. If it wasn't 4E vs. xE, it would be something else. 2) - The current conflict's ending is not predicated upon 4E fading into obscurity.  Despite the kumbayah vibe of Mearls statement, different editions and their players can coexist peacefully...and even support and enhance each other. 3) - I can't say if Mike Mearl's statement is sincere or not, only he can. But, such statements are completely useless without actions. Until Mearls and WotC put their money where their mouth is, and start providing real support for all editions of D&D on DDI, such sentiments are simply a whole lot of sound and fury...signifying nothing...<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/erm.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":erm:" title="Erm    :erm:" data-shortname=":erm:" /> (And a VTT that can be used for other editions, is not support of other editions...) @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=7507" target="_blank">mike</a> Mearls and WotC: Make no actual changes in DDI support and WotC philosophy, and it'll just be more of the same...and what a lot of us have come to expect from WotC.   So, what's it gonna be Mike...? <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/ponder.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":hmm:" title="Hmmm    :hmm:" data-shortname=":hmm:" /></blockquote>
