A year ago I was afraid that the Realms would be victim of over-enthusiastic young designers. It's turned out even worse; they didn't even want to try hard.
This really strikes home.
Not only was the God-name taken right out of Star Wars, but the lore itself was lifted wholesale from World of Warcraft - so much so, I almost feel like sending an E-Mail to Blizzard's legal dept.
I played a warlock in WoW for two years, so I know a little of what I'm talking about.
These 4e warlocks use Shardsouls, and in Warcraft, the warlocks use Soulshards... I kid you not.
Its like they are not even trying anymore. 
I feel like this stuff gets written ten minutes before they have to hand it in - You know; like those reports I used to write in HS on the bus on the way to school the morning they were do - and you just know the teacher knows you did just that, but you don't care because at least you handed something in.
(Large font emphasis above by PDK) Mark, if you're correct about the above, I really do suggest you email Blizzard. This is serious plagiarism. |

I completely agree with you! There seems to be no thought or care taken in the slightest. Maybe as the designers know there's only going to be a couple of books for 4eFR it doesn't matter what they're like.  |

I'm very much correct about this.
Their editting dept. is letting too many 'things' from other settings - blatant rip-offs - get through to the final published copy.
However, considering that the last time I actually played in WoW I was in the city of Silvermoon helping the Elves recover the Towers of the Sun and Moon, I think this works both ways, and these two companies can't really afford to start pointing fingers at each other. Hasbro might have the financial power to squash 3rd party P&P companies, but Blizzard is a peer, and might even be able to eat THEM for lunch. I doubt either wants to open that can of worms.
I posted a comment over at WotC that it looked like these excerpts/plothooks were "scrawled on cocktail napkin", but it was deleted by a Mod. In fact, the mods have been rather over-zealous with their deletions since yesterday, so I guess we can thank Gleemax's cancellation for the new, stronger Mod presence on the FR boards.
Something must have ticked them off recently.  |

The pagination of this preview says "Chapter 7: Threats". So we'll get a whole chapter about the dangers PCs may face in the FR? What lore then can be found in the other chapters - is the chapter about the regions detailing sight seeing tips?
But why should we expect at all that they link the threats with the associated regions?  |

As much as I hate to defend WotC.... Similar names don't imply plagarism, particularly when those names are nothing more than compound words. And it's also common, in fantasy, to name something after the sun and/or the moon.
These shardsouls (a name that doesn't seem exactly fitting, considering their origin) have a different origin than soul shards. The concepts are suspiciously close, and had it been me creating them, I would have renamed them just to avoid the comparison.
But... With the popularity of MMOs, it's likely that Blizzard is now bigger than WotC. And with it being this easy to catch, only an idiot would deliberately steal from someone bigger than them.
WoW's warlocks and soul shards may have inspired this, but insiring is not the same as directly copying. At worse, I think this is an unfortunate coincidence. |

You really think so? I seriously doubt it, since even the numerous posts with constructive criticism and negative/disappointed comments on several forums seem to have no impact at all. I'm certain that they honestly believe that all the "whiners" represent a small minority of the FR fans, and once FRCG is out, even the most hard-core FR fans will "see how cool stuff it has". |

I wonder if they are ever going to reveal what happened to all the of deities, and who is left like they promised way back when...not that I expect them to honor their promise... |

Might I rephrase? I did not mean that they meant they would reveal on the fate of every deity, but both Chris Perkins and Rich Baker said that there was going to be a "Countdown to the Realms" article on the deities (at least telling us who was left, if nothing else). They had a schedule for the release of various info and everything. The problem with finding the quotes is that they date back to December and January, and from different places on the whole Gleemax mess (forums, interviews and blogs); so I do not know if I can find them. That, and by "promise" I meant "official statement(s)."
Maybe RF and/or MT remembers these statements as well? |

They also said we'd all like the new material. Now, did they really think they could please everyone or was that marketing-speak? At one point I got tired of trying to figure it out and stopped paying attention.
Two points: What does this have to do with the Realms? (Not a sarcastic or rhetorical question.) I thought 4E was supposed to end the era of pages of stats. |

I just can't bring myself to care anymore. I'll take a gander at the FRCG when it's out but if the excerpts are even remotely representative of the product then I'm likely to have to bring one of those bags you get on an air plane. You know, just in case.
But really, I just don't believe WotC will put out good content. There will be some flukes here and there (Brian's stuff, Ed's stuff) but, by and large, I expect it to be a big, steaming pile of dung. I hope I'm wrong, I really, REALLY hope I'm wrong but I've only seen a couple of "points of light" in this bubbling morass of blasé material that shares almost nothing in common with the Realms that I've come to know.
I think MT's comparison to the good old "do the homework in the 5 minutes before class" analogy is pretty damned apt too. That's almost exactly what it seems like and as I read these previews all I can think is that the author doesn't care and the editor doesn't care, either that or their tastes are FAR different from my own.
Anyhow, the fact that they decided to bring in some random stuff falling from the sky, rather than use perfectly established lore (Zhengyi or Orcus work perfectly, there also could be some mention of Eltab and work in a story about Eltab's growin influence or a story about how Eltab was kicked out of . . . Narfel was it?. . . whatever, wherever he was and had to relocate to Vaasa, maybe even under an assumed name, to rebuild his power base)
Damn, three different hooks to already established lore right there and I'm not even trying.
And THAT'S what makes me the saddest. |

Such things "work" if they are rare and thus special, but not if they become common and everyday stuff. |

Well, considering they're marching around in FelIron Armor and looking like a bunch of Stormtroopers, I think the 'Empire' analogy is apt. 
As to 'the promise of god-lore' thingy, what Rich said, way back in December I believe, was that he was hoping a Realmslore article about the deities would be availble in January, or perhaps February (not the EXACT words, but that was the gist of it).
There was never a promise - just a 'hope' - and there were no details other then it was to be a 'deities article' - so we still may not have gotten any hard information about who's still around and who's dead other then what we already know (although back then, we new FAR less).
And Rich has been very forthcoming about the proposed articles and the scheduling problems, so I don't think that he, personally, was attempting any subterfuge. In fact, he almost sounds as disappoined as us that they did not appear...
After all, he's the one that gets hammered for every little thing, and any info given is about 100 less questions he gets asked. |

They seem to have had some problems that have been building up over the last few months, which has lead to the disappointment that was Gleemax and the poor quality of the DDi output (including the proposed articles).
The guy who was running their online initiative was having personal problems that ended tragically, so right now I think it best if we cut them a little slack when it comes to anything online (including their forums, Gleemax, content, crashes, etc...).
If you really need to know more about it, see my post in the Glemax thread - very sad news indeed. |
