[QUOTE="Dinkeldog, post: 384231, member: 195"] They did. Some != All. There will always be those who hate something because it's new. I have a friend from college who still won't listen to any music that was recorded after 1986. How many left during those years? For years I had no game because 1e/2e were abandoned. You know, honestly, I don't think they could do anything about it. Some people want to be alienated. I remember wars fought on e-mail lists over the differences between 1e, 1.5e, 2e, and 2.5e. TSR and then WotC never forced fast edition changes. When 2e came out, it was really time for it. First edition had become bloated after Unearthed Arcana and then the Wilderness and Dungeoneer's Explorers Guides. You keep compatibility where possible and ultimately accept the incompatible parts that come as the system evolves. The end part of 2e was worse with the Player's Option and DM's Option books. Those that have chosen to be alienated can continue with the ESD's for 2e that WotC has up. I disagree. You don't consider the campaign settings (Cthulhu, Wheel of Time) that Wizards put out last year, nor the campaign setting search competition early this summer. No comment. Would require information I don't have. Harm? It provides information to competitors about WotC's business. [/QUOTE]
