[QUOTE="Osgood, post: 5482026, member: 32792"] Interesting thought, but I doubt it will happen. More based on the fan reaction than the merit of the actual idea. For the past half a year or so WotC has made many controversial moves that have left a bad taste in many fans mouths. Such a move would almost surely be seen as a "cash grab" and lead to an edition war. The last thing WotC wants to do is risk further segmenting the fan base. Personally, I think WotC is unsure what direction to take at this point. They tried to do too many things with the Essentials (gateway for new/younger players, retro red box for old timers who haven't played in ages, and 3.5 style mechanics/presentation to try to bring back wayward PF players) and I personally think the products suffered as a result. I think WotC needs to do another major market research project to find out exactly what the community wants and what would best bring in potential players before trying something like this. [/QUOTE]
