Dungeons and Dragon 5E

As many of you know by now, the death of 4E reigns has tolled....it ends this year. For what ever reasons
that 4E has been back shelved....a new versions of Dungeons and Dragons is coming 2/2013.
It promises to incorporate any style of game play (rules systems) and support the many editions of D&D.
As many of you may have come to know that 4E split the Dungeons and Dragon fan based down the line, where many people where upset that the D20 and 3E were being canceled. There had always been hold outs, keeping the previous editions alive... but 3ED&D may have succeeded to well in convincing and producing the ultimate compatible game system in RPGs. 

5E glimpses are appearing all around the web, most you can see here at the official message board for WOTC.
They are promising that all ages of the timeline will be available for play and the first campaign setting supported will be the Realms aka Faerun. Although each edition had its flagship Campaign Setting.....

D&D : Mystara
AD&D: World of Greyhawk
2ED&D: Forgotten Realms
3ED&D: Eberron/Pathfinder
D20 System: Everything and Anything 
4ED&D: Conquest of Nerath

It would be great for them to final flesh out areas of these campaign worlds. Oearth stills has the western half of the continent to be filled out... Chainmail did a wonderful job setting the stage for a new Campaign Setting based on Greyhawk. The Forgotten Realms still have to address Osse and update some of the other continents before the odd shift to 4E. Dragonlance needs a Taladas Update.... Mystara need more in depth exploration of the other continents beside the info from the Voyage of the Princess Ark...even Ravenloft has a few more domains to shed light upon..... even bring back Star Frontiers! Heck perhaps finally do what people what.... make the 5E Official Campaign Setting,,, Magic the Gathering!

There is so much I hope for.....yet... at this point... they are only dreams..
