I vote for "Maybe, on upon seeing the final result", but that apparently wasn't an option.  |
One usually has far more to fear from the soft-spoken wizard with a blade and well-worn boots than from the boisterous one in the ivory tower.

| Maybe, depending on how it will look like. However, it has to be very, very good to reverse this feeling of indifference that I currently experience. |

| Sorry, no! Ihave no intent to use that materiel. I might take a look into it at the local game store but will not spent one cent on it. |

| Add: Buy only FR products which intrigues me!, and you get my vote. Editions as such have never ruled my love for the Realms |

Maybe the FR staff... but I want to see the changes first and then I will decide if I will buy the Fr books...
So i will vote the third option (because is the option more similar to my opinion) |

| It should have been a Yes or No poll focusing only on the FR, not the whole DnD 4E. |

| Yes. I'm definitely planning to buy 4E Core products. In fact, I already have bought two of them--the two preview books. |

Working on the video game side of things, the rules are not much use to me, they're hard coded into the engine. The lore, though, I'm sure will be of use to me. If I like a particular aspect of 4E FR, I may make a small module focused on it. My next project I've begun planning a bit will be using lore from all times in FR history, ancient past and 4E time jump future, using small story arcs. It will be fun to explore it a little bit doing that, and doing so will require buying some 4E materials for just the lore.
I might not like it all, but I'll cherry pick the things I do. |

Interesting, the general attitude seems to me quite different from the "official" fr board @ wizards
For me the 4th edition of FR does not seem very promising so far, but I'll for sure give it a chance,
the ruleset for 4e will be a definitiv buy for me - sounds quite promising as far as I can tell. |

That's why I've called this "THE Definitive 3E Survey" -- there's no tricky wording, just yes, no, and "this item only."
What is the "official" attitude over there, anyway? I never bother to check.

| I have no plans for buying any newer products, so I guess it is alternative two, even if it is formulated a bit to bombasic for my taste. |

That would be my choice, as well. I don't think something can be considered a definitive poll when viable choices are excluded. |

I don't think there is an "official" attitude where fans are concerned. |

I'm guessing you can't really have an official attitude until the final product comes out and then we can sorta base it on people's reviews and sales.
I mean, right now it's sort of basing a movie on just trailers and screenshots. Lol. |

| Well probably the core ones and the FR stuff (for now at least) but my 3.o and 3.5 edition library was expensive, so WOTC you suck |

I think we're going to be seeing an increase of downloads of FR products in pdfs when 4E arrives...
Who knows? Maybe this will be like the music industry, where people get fed up and just go illegally download stuff. |

I'll probably buy them for "research purposes", and then filter back the best bits into my 3e Realms. ;-)
I am aware of course, that such a course of action (giving Hasbro money in this case) will render any criticism of Hasbro rather moot. |

Or Hasbro should sell the PDFs and see how much money those bring in.... |

| I reserve the right to change my mind, but at this point, I'm def not buying anything 4e (FR or otherwise). The ONLY thing I can foresee myself buying are the occasional novels. However, if they manage to spin this into something good, I may buy... but it doesn't smell like any of that is going to happen. |

SO wait a few months to find them used online, then you do not have to worry about "voting with your wallet." |

| I've already bought my last Realms product from Wizards - the timeline book. (Great product, BTW.) The next time I visit the Realms, it'll be with HackMaster rules, and I'll be rolling the timeline back to that of the Grey Box. How much of what's been published since then (short of FR1, FR5, and UM) I can't say. (I'll keep what I like, change what I don't. The way Ed's been urging us to do since the damn thing came out.) |

At this moment in time, no.
WotC is taking 4E in a direction that doesn't appear to support the type of game that I enjoy playing. Add that to the butchering they did to Faerun, and I have very little incentive to buy any 4E books.
There is a different set of hands at the helm and they have a new target market in their sights that unfortunately doesn't include me. |

I certainly have no intention of buying the 4th Edition Realms book simply because my players and I are very happy playing the Realms as is. I may take a peek at the new book in the Game store but only out of idle curiosity.
As regards the 4th Edition rules themselves; again, myself and my players are happy with 3.5 and, as almost everyone in the Group has a PHB and one or more other 3.5 books, we dont really feel that there is any need to change, just because of a "new and shiny" edition.
Lets face it, it'll be 5th Edition in a few years, and everyone will be back to square one. |
