I got into the setting in 3.x, and so did several of my players, and now we barely recognize the 4e version - but none of us had 1e/2e experience with it (though I and one player/DM have heavily used 2e fluff).As for longer term / earlier edition fans and their reaction, I'm largely going off of what I've gathered from fans on Candlekeep and elsewhere online, and some seriously hardcore Realms fans I know locally. A lot of them seem to have gotten into the Realms because of the massive amount of fluff (be it catagorized as bloat or not), and now they've either not touched the 4e material and continued playing in earlier periods (one of my players ran a Netheril era campaign using 3.x rules, using 2e fluff which was quite fun) or moving on to other settings entirely.My experiences may not mirror others of course, especially 1e fans of the setting that I don't have any experience with given my circle of gamers.</blockquote>
