I personally believe Greyhawk is gone. Any product that would fit Greyhawk fits "better" in Forgotten Realms in the sense that the audience and thus profits are much higher. And indeed this is what we have seen and probably will continue to see.Wotc is savvy enough to never publicly acknowledge any of this. But I belive Greyhawk is clearly dumped as a setting in the "clearly defined destination for product".In less kind words, hoping for official support for Greyhawk is... Very optimistic indeed.Any time Wotc is going to deviate from their genericized FR products, they will want to take a much bigger step away (to Dark Sun, to Ravenwood, to Eberron etc) than the, frankly, miniscule step that Greyhawk represents for all the gamers that aren't aware of AD&D era products.Put simply, I think some of you allow nostalgia to cloud your estimation of Greyhawk's brand value. I believe that value (of Greyhawk minus generic D&D) to be near zero, I'm afraid.</blockquote>
