[QUOTE="Midknightsun, post: 3937002, member: 46459"] Honestly, if they clean up the clutter of the realms like they promise, I may even take a look. My group and most of the people I play with currently think the Realms are far too cluttered as it is. High level NPCs abound, and honestly, if there were only a few of them, I don't think it would be as much of an issue, but I seem to remember even in second edition where every city detailed had high level wizards in the 18th to OMG! range, making PCs of less power pretty lucky to get a job scrubbing Elminster's Outhouse (which is probably self-cleaning anyway). The problem just excellerated with 3rd edition. The density of the different cities was also a problem, as well as dealing with anyone who was a [I]rabid[/I] realms fan who would utter "It didn't happen that way, read Novel XXX where so and so the uber magnificent was actually in <Blank> city at that time . . . . . *sigh*. So yeah, I'm one of those people who may give the realms a second look of they deliver on cleaning up the extraneous crap. . . .along with emphasizing more of a separation between the novels and the setting.
