Plus I am still pissed that I spent so much money only to be abandoned by WotC.
TThats casual WotC though. 2e fans felt that way when 3e was released, 3e fans felt that was when 3.5 was released, and 3.5 fans felt that way when 4e was released. ITs a vicious cycle that won't end until the support every edition.

Actually, I was happy with each new edition.
Until Essentials.
After that, the quality of content went way down.
Really, 4e needed some quality control and PROOFREADING. That said, I still enjoy it.
And I will be one of those boycotting Next.
I mean c'mon. "Next"? It's like those software marketers that keep changing the numbering system on software. Whatever the system is, stick with it. Macromedia created the MX suite, so we went from Dreamweaver5 to DreamweaverMX. Then MX2. Then the company was bought by Adobe. So now we have CreativeSuite numbering. Ug. Totally unnecessary.
"Next"? Just call it "5". Otherwise, what will the following edition be? "Next Plus"?

I haven't been posting because I don't like the direction D&DN is going, and I'm tired of arguing with people who share a totally different idea of what good game design is. I'm going to be playing 4e with or without official online support for a while.

"Good!" said the Baron, sitting in his hall, "But Iron -- Cold Iron -- is master of them all." -Kipling Defenders: We ARE the wall! I've replaced the previous Edition Warring line in my sig with this one, because honestly, everybody needs to work together to make the D&D they like without trampling on somebody else's D&D. Miss d20 Modern? Take a look at Dias Ex Machina Game's UltraModern 4e! I am a hero, not a chump.

I'm currently on hiatus from the forums and the game. Once DDN gets closer to release, I'll check back in more regularly. In the thirty years I've been DnDing, this is the first significant break I've ever taken. Our playtests have fizzled (nobody's even interested in a 'pick-up' game of 4e). I've let my DDI sub expire for the first time since launch. I'm ready for a break, need time to re-ignite my enthusiasm for the game  .

I found it very odd at the books store today to see brand new re-releases of 3.5 books. Huh?  Guess they're being nostalgic for a system that they ended only a few years ago? Or are they trying to cut into the Pathfinder sales? Oh well.

No, they're just desperate for SOMETHING to sell. I mean imagine you're the D&D product line manager and you have NO CASHFLOW. lol. I mean I don't know what the last 'generic' setting book they put out sold, but I doubt it was much. The DSG was a pretty crappy book TBH. They have nothing but DDI for 18 more months? Yeah, the reprints thing is just sheer desperation.
That is not dead which may eternal lie

Plus- it costs them nothing to release crap that has already been created. The upcoming S and A series is silly. I'd rather keep my originals.

i remember the boards around the time of the PHB3's release and prior to that, jeez the edition felt so prosperous then, the posters so nice, and everyone so excited- i still love 4e to death, even with the essentials stuff and HOS, i still love it- but it's felt like a depressing story since then in regards to how it's been treated by newer staff.
