Granted, they also kept saying you don't need D&DI to play, but for many, including myself, D&DI was the only real compelling aspect of 4e. So It was reasonable to assume that D&DI would be launched with 4e. All updates regarding the tools went from "It will do...; here's how it looks" to "It's in the alpha stage with in-house testing; here it is being used," to "It will not be ready in a month; look at our screenshots," and then to "Coming 2009 because we really want to do it right."</li> </ol>They weren't necessarily promises, but WotC was certainly stringing some of us along.And yes, there are some, myself not included, who had  gotten excited about the use of the online tools, sold all their 3e stuff, ended their campaigns, and were specifically looking forward to playing 4e with all of these fancy tools that WotC had been promoting heavily for a whole year.Again, I'm not one who is up in arms about the whole thing, but I certainly recognize that WotC switched us from hype to hope, and I understand why some are upset with the outcome compared to what was being promoted a year ago.</blockquote>
