They talk about this being the most popular setting in D&D, so why not make it the defalt setting?

Well, considering that every single novel coming out from WotC in the foreseeable future is a FR novel, the Lords of Waterdeep boardgame was originally designed for Dark Sun, the John Rogers D&D comic has been put on hiatus for the Ed Greenwood FR comic, and that the Encounters program seem to be taking place in FR now,
I`d say it already is.

no! and not only no! but hell no!!!
be better off having no defualt setting in the phbs/dmg etc.
core/default settings adds its lore to each setting and withevery body wanting the warforge in the phb, it would put a race in the setting that does not belong there.
as I said better to have no default setting in the dndnext

Dear lord no! That would be the most terrible thing that could happen to the Realms. The lore would be put through the meat grinder even more. I pity the setting that is chosen to bear the burden of becoming default setting.

Yeah, look what happened to poor old Greyhawk... not that I ever cared for it that much, but it didn't deserve what 3e did to it.

This. They should keep points of light as the default setting as it has no lore to be crushed into dust.

the flaw with keeping pol around is that we still get stuck with pol trash lore shoehorned into the realms again.
no to any defualt setting. besides default settings take uup too much space in the phb.

Well, the Realms were the deffault setting in 2nd Edition (in the sense that "If it's in D&D, it's in the Realms," which was TSR's policy at the time), which saw the most massive expansion of Realmslore under any version of the D&D game and the Realms were also picked to feature the customizable nature of the new (at the time) 3rd Edition D&D rules and later the Epic Level rules for same.
I wouldn't mind so much the Realms being the default, provided the game designers didn't neuter the setting for the sake of keeping the game bland...er, I mean "easily accessible".
The Forgotten Realms: It's an ugly baby, but damnit it's our ugly baby.
WotC, please don't wreck the Forgotten Realms a third time in order to introduce the latest version of the D&D rules.
Give us back 3rd Edition's Magic Television concept instead.

I believe they planned to do this in 4e, but discovered reasons not (i.e. they wanted a 'generic' setting that anyone could use, and they also wanted to sell more books). But as mentioned: FR pretty much is the default setting.

Well if this D&D Next is as is what it is described as being I am sure one could play most any time period within the Realms without feeling an edition stamp on the game. That should work for Greyhawk as well or any of the settings. At least, I have my fingers, toes, and bat like wings crossed for that kind of game.
