You see back when 1e became 2e it was alot of little things adding up. Infact many people where useing house rules for 1e simalar to 2e. (I have even herd it ssaid that 'true' D&D is in mixing those two systems.)How ever it lasted for a long time. Back in the early 90's or mid 90's it was still going, and new products never looked like they would stop. I know my group at the time WotC anounced 3e laughed...how could you improve on perfection. Then I started reading previews in Dragon. I was one of the first to buy the 3.0 book in my group.As of last saterday when we were all talking about it (me, 3 people from my old 2e days, 2 people who only played 2e a little, and my brother in law that skiped 2e, and 3.0, then only played 3 games in 3.5) and the general thought was weather you liked or hated 3/3.5/4e none of us could go back to thac0 on a regular basies...Now how is this a problem...people expect 2e life span on all edtions...how ever it just is not hapening...My guess is we will never see a true 10+ year edtion again...and I am very split on how I feel about that... Aren't Gurps and Cathulu both eaither in double digits or close for edtions...and both came out AFTER D&D....some how D&D was the only system people thought of as "never changeing"</blockquote>
