You might risk alienating some of the 4e version fans, but possibly at the benefit of bringing a large number of fans back.  Given the hypothetical situation of no more edition wars and such - I think a revert to the Gray Box era could at least be considered a possibility and worthy of evaluation.All hypothetical situations of course.  As you said the likely real occurrence is that FR DMs will continue to adapt and mold the bits they like from any edition and still give FR the feel they want - even without supporting content from WotC.</blockquote>
