This is something I spoke of to the staff, and as it would be part of any reboot campaign, I did not want to provide too many spoilers about that campaign. BUT, I think for the sake of discussion and trying to ease fears, I am going to mention it anyway.
If a campaign should occur that will culminate in a setting reboot, we can do massive, wonderful, and terrible things. Tam can fall. Thrul can fall. PCs can rise to take their place. Cities could by besieged and destroyed. Leaders of the various organizations could be overthrown. PCs could reach their loftiest goal, and then some (who has what it takes to follow in Velsharoon’s footsteps?! :) ), and the world literally could be transformed into a burning pile of rubble. The possibilities are endless, it would be one helluva ride, and I would be totally on board with that - believe it or not!
Why?
Because I would know that after 3, 4, 5, 6+ months the craziness would come to a (hopefully) satisfactory conclusion and the players and DMs involved would have had an (hopefully) amazing time and will be able to send off their PCs in a truly world-shattering way.
Then, should the reboot occur, we could start anew after maybe a short couple-month breather, and dive right back into ‘official lore’ craziness. I truly, honestly, and firmly believe that we can end our current 'beginning', start a new beginning that everyone here can enjoy, and we would have a year or more of incredible storylines and D&D fun. And just as when Thay was coming out of Beta testing and starting the world the first time, those that stick around for the brave 'new' world of the past I would be more than happy to give some type of compensation for a new PC(s).
