I got lost on some of the tangents going on this thread. But the idea of Greyhawk disappearing is silly to me. I have been in the RPGA's Living Greyhawk (LG) campaign from the very beginning.
Its so huge its divided up into differant regions around our world. For example the my region is the Bandit Kingdoms (comprised and developed by Oaklahoma and Texas).
Some people don't like the way its structed, but it works for the most part. Some classes and P-classes are limited or restricted.
Granted, its likely that every time you sit down to play it you may not be playing with the same people, or even the character. Many people have mutiple characters. But you can take the same character with you to where there is an LG game. Say you move from Florida (Principality of Ulek - I think thats right.) to Texas (the Bandit Kingdoms). Since the rules set is still the same, you don't have to worry about learing somebody elses "house rules".
People seem to forget that Greyhawk is the default setting for anything WotC produces that is not campaign specific. The RPGA (supported by WotC) uses only WotC Books (not all of them mind you). And, several of these books are considered core for the campaign. The campaign continues to grow in members (RPGA membership is free).
I have been playing in the campaign since the beginning when 3.0 first came out (I actually helped premire it at GENCON 2000. Was one of the Premire Jugdes. Wish I still had my beta copy of the PHB). 3.0 & 3.5 Cleric (didn't change at all) is still a broken class that is very underestemated. I won't go into that now.
O.k. I took the long road, but, the bottom line is that Greyhawk is far from disappearing.
