Like Greyhawk, its primarily remembered for its modules (Keep on the Borderland, Night's Dark Terror, Isle of Dread, etc) than for anything unique to it. As a Mystara fan, its hard to say this but I think Mystara and Greyhawk probably need to just enjoy retirement. Both have heavy online fan communities and need little in the way of support material outside the core rules. (Well, maybe a few races, spells, or items converted. Easy stuff). The core brand of D&D has heavily mined what was great about those settings (the adventures), and the rest isn't unique enough to warrant development. But it'd be nice if rakasta made the jump to generic D&D. Why D&D has always reinvented the cat-folk when they owned a perfectly good version is beyond me...</blockquote>
