The Time of Troubles once before took away PCs' accomplishments. Sembia was once designated as a preserve for DMs to make it whatever they wanted, then that rug was pulled out from under folks when they changed their mind and decided to make an official Sembia. And it has been a longtime complaint of the setting that PCs only get to clean up after NPC mover-and-shakers get done with things. It's not new.And, IMO, it is only an issue if someone feels the need to keep their Forgotten Realms inline with everything newly published. Its only an issue for folks who aren't comfortable putting up a wall around their own version of FR. I think that is clearly a minority of fans of every setting be it FR or Greyhawk or Eberron or whatever.WotC would like folks to move up to 4e, they aren't sending in the SWAT teams to make gamers do it. WotC would like existing FR-fans to come along with the 4e FRCS, but they aren't going to arm twist people into doing it. There is enough material published out there now that people can keep playing 3.x FR, just like when 3e came out there was enough material out to keep playing AD&D 2nd ed FR.Personally, even with 3.5 books coming out for FR, I still set my personal FR in 1358. I just reversed-engineered things.</blockquote>
