I don't. Midnight is awesome and I don't think WOTC would have produced a product that good. Not saying WOTC can't produce quality, but Midnight diverges from the core rules a good bit, and WOTC wouldn't have done that.
I think we are better off with Midnight the way it is.

There's a lot more to Dawnforge than power-gaming, though you can certainly play it that way if you want. WotC must have seen something they liked, since Dawnforge was one of the 11 semi-finalists.
Umm, let's see...
Code of Unaris, from GoldLeaf Games, was one of the 11 semi-finalists. So was Morningstar, from Goodman Games.

Well, I'd say you're missing the point of Dawnforge if you think it is just a "powergaming setting." Dawnforge takes place in an age of legend where the PCs are larger than life heroes. It says in one of the early chapters that the races are mythical versions of the ones found in the core book and from a later time when the age of legends has passed. Personally, I think Dawnforge is one of the best D&D settings out there.
Morningstar by Goodman Games is another semi-finalist.

I think Code of Unaris is still in production. Its is designed from the ground up to be played online as a chat game. See their website.

Never heard of Code of Unaris before. I checked out the preview - has anyone played this yet?
I know that Atlas is publishing the old online Septentrionalis setting soon (they changed the name to something like "Northern Crown" or something). I'm not sure if it was entered in the WotC setting search, though.

It is possible. I don't run the game, I just play in it. I understand the premise behind the setting, I guess it's because my GM just runs it as a standard D&D game (no epic style adventures). I even if we were playing epic style adventures I think the power characters would get old, it always seems to whenever I play in higher powered games. But hey, that's just my opinion. .

Another reason why going to GenCon is so cool! I and my friend Søren headed to the airport in a limo - cheaper than a cab - and got to share it with the guy who wrote Code of Unaris! He gave us free copies of his book. It is indeed a chat-based system. He turned it into a source for chat games. His idea, if I recall correctly, was that folks love the idea of chat games, but don't always know how to get started.
The book looked decent. I leafed through it, and eventually gave it away to a friend because write now I'm writing for three different publishers and am running three Play By Message Board games of my own. With my work, ain't no way I can schedule a chat based game for the next five years. If I could, I'd certainly have kept the book.
But yes, in answer to the question, Morningstar is a Goodman Games product. And the author, RSKennan, is from Connecticut! Yeah.
