I am a WotC employee and I've done a bit of design work for both WotC and a couple 3rd party publishers.If the question is whether or not 3.0 materials are still on the shelves - they are. Some places that only carry what they think they can sell in 90 days will probably not have many 3.0 products on their shelves anymore because they have presumable sold. I've recently visited a couple gaming stores in this area that still sell some of the first open d20 releases.If the question is whether or not 3rd party publishers were forced to switch to 3.5, they did not. The majority of them chose to do so in order to make their new products comaptible with the current version of the game. Once the 3.0 SRD was released, it remains released and anyone can go back and use it if they wish to do so. Also, nowhere in the OGL does it state that you must use the most recently released version of the SRD.If the question is whether licensed products, like Ravenloft, Dragonlance, or Kalamar were forced to switch or even revise their own existing products, I honestly don't know the answer to that, but I don't think that's the question at hand. I know Sovereign Press didn't start releasing their licensed Dragonlance products until 3.5 was released, so that really only leaves Kalamar and Ravenloft. I would suggest posting this question to their boards to see what kind of information they can divulge.I hope that sheds some light on your question.</blockquote>
