If they don't transition the old stuff, certainly don't expect the wealth of free stuff to continue,Expect to see art budgets for the new subscription service plummet to zero over time as cost-cutting (see what happened to Pyramid for example). More value will be placed on things that don't really cost WotC anything - like subscription-only message boards and developer chats (wonder if the podcasts will be subscriber only, or even Sage Advice heh). Over time the major emphasis will be on stuff you get for free now, but once it's all taken away they can use it to get people to subscribe. Expect to see and unusual number of articles on "using D&D Miniatures in your game" or "how to use Magic cards to generate campaigns" and stuff.And as others have said, this bodes very ill for the idea that 4th edition will be opened to third parties. So long SRD, we hardly knew ye.You can get that for free now, on the WotC site. But I'm sure they are VERY happy to know you are going to be willing to pay $10 a month for what was once free content. Next up - subscriber-only errata! :/</blockquote>
