The Realms WILL Be Updated!

WotC's Chris Perkins and Mike Mearls both mentioned the possibility of Forgotten Realms updates on Twitter today. A chap called Montgomery Headstrom tweeted at both of them - to Perkins he said "I don't understand why you guys did the Sundering if you weren't going to update the Realms. Can you clarify that for me?" and the Mearls he said "if WOTC isn't interested in updating the realms would corporate allow kickstarter drive to let Ed Greenwood do it?" Both replied to his his comments, confirming that they do, in fact, intend to update the Realms. Thanks to Adrian for the scoop.

Montgomery: if WOTC isn't interested in updating the realms would corporate allow kickstarter drive to let Ed Greenwood do it?
Mike Mearls: who sez we aren't interested in updating it?

Montgomery: I don't understand why you guys did the Sundering if you weren't going to update the Realms. Can you clarify that for me?
Chris Perkins: The Sundering allowed us to bring back things that the setting had lost over the years. We ARE updating the Realms.

You said that I brought up Mearls tweet but I did not.

Now are you going to double down or just retract your claim?

You made a reference to the tweet. You said "You can't cancel a product that isn't announced". Which is a clear reference to the tweet. Which is, indirectly, bringing it up.

Doubling down it is then.

Just for clarity, I'm not Majoru Oakheart. But if you weren't referencing Mearls then what did you actually mean?

I mean that you can not cancel the FR campaign setting when you do not announce the FR campaign setting.
