In particular there seems to be a policy of trashing realms that people don't actually play in much (which includes most everything south of the Sea of Fallen Stars) -- which I think is a huge mistake. Even if I never set an adventure in Unther or Mulhorand or Halruaa, it was good to know they were there as exotic far off-locales from which you could draw interesting characters and plots. They lent character to the rather more bland Northern nations.Simply put, the changes that I've so far heard of seem to make the Realms a much smaller place than it was before. Without the depth that attracted me to the Realms in the first place, I'm not sure I'll be making the switch. Of course, they could prove me wrong -- and I hope they do.</blockquote>
