[QUOTE="Aristotle, post: 3859233, member: 5885"] So, 3E brought in new blood but 4E can't because of MMO games that make pen and paper gaming obsolete? Those of us left in the hobby should cling to the games we have and guard them against any change for fear that the vocal minority among us who dislikes them will splinter away and quicken the demise of our beloved hobby? Wow, that's really bleak. I saw a lot of people return to gaming, or start gaming, in the 3E era. I saw a lot of people (including a lot of younger people) introduced to pen and paper gaming through miniatures games and MMO gaming. That's right. Neither of us have done extensive market research, so neither of us can prove our perspective, but mine is that MMO games are a gateway to the tabletop rather than from it. I personally don't care about new blood, I've had the same group for a decade, so I don't necessarily want a game that is just a marketing ploy for new gamers. Luckily I like about 75% of what I've seen of 4E thus far, and could potentially learn to like another 10% depending on how they spin some things in the final product. *shrug* [/QUOTE]
