I think that comment a little false. Regardless of personal beleifs, last time I checked the Doomsday thread was far larger then the Hallalijua thread. I play in two different tabletop groups and I am rather active at the hobby shop, so I think I have a good feel for how tabletop players in my area feel as well. All that comment meant was that there are several people who feel that it was a poor move on WotC's part to release it now, especially after WotC promised a year advance warning. Regardless of both of our experiances however all we can reliably refer to however is the facts we can see. And that is the amount of people on these forums. All other facts and figures are misleading. Neither you nor I can ever hope to reliably grasp the gaming demographics of the entire worldwide D&D gamers. From the facts we can see, ie the online community we are both part of, releasing 4e would perhaps have been better advised a year or two, even a simple three month, later. That being said, I am all for 4e. I am a huge supporter, will buy the core books, and hope to even playtest it.

Look, no one wants to hear crying on this thread. Take that kind of thing to the Doomsday thread, or email wizards if you want. Don't clog our threads please.

Generally the vocal minority is usual just that.
I am looking forward to 4E, but I don't see a need to jump on the Hallelujah thread to say...Hallelujah. I am content with the decision and how things are shaping up. Those who are not content usually have a lot to say, and say it vociferously and repeatedly. The number of posts to the threads mean very near nothing as it is simply anecdotal in nature.

Dear Wizards,
Will I be reimbersed for the thousands of dollars I've spent on 3 and 3.5 books?
Dear Dell/Gateway/Asus/Intel/Seagate/etc:
Will I be reimbursed for the tens of thousands of dollars I've spent on computers that have since gone obsolete?
Dear CRT Television and VHS Manufactureres:
Will I be reimbursed for my CRT television and VHS player? They have since been obsoleted by HD and DVD players.
Dear Wizards of the Coast:
Will I be reimbursed for the hundreds of dollars I spent on magic cards that are no longer type 2 legal?
What's stopping you from using the old books anyway?

It is still better then going back and forth saying each of us is the right one. I am talking about the facts. The fact is that WotC promised a year advance warning, then gave nine months advance warning. The fact is some people did not like this. The fact is that if WotC kept its promise some people would be receiving it more warmly, because the source of the ire would be nonexistant. Those are all facts doctork.

As an aside, I think it's a bad idea to make e-books. I believe it will only lead to more piracy and a loss of profits unless you are very careful to balance out your income with pay-for products like say for example: a 4th Edition subscription service that gives you some improved gaming tools and an online magazine subscription... nah, who am i kidding.

Could I get some kind of citation as far as this "promise" of exactly one year's warning before the release of the 4th edition?
All I remember hearing was that we would probably get ample warning like, about a year, for example. I don't remember anyone ever telling me we would definitely get exactly one year of warning.
