Most players are still loyal to FR . . .I'm not sure that this is the case. Without sales data from WotC I can't say for sure but I think Eberron has been doing very well. In fact as a manager of a bookstore I can say that at least in my corner of the retail world Eberron seems to sell just a little better than FR, even among old guard (I know that is not necessarily a national trend either but interesting).
As an aside (although it's probably been addressed somewhere) what's the deal with the picture of the warforged in the Grand History of the Realms? The book is on my shelf at work but haven't had time to do more than flip through it very briefly. Did WotC think the Realms needed an injection of Eberron? *shakes head*
I agree totally.i will be starting a new FR campaign soon probably coinciding with 4e. and my players want to game in the realms. so I have agreed. but i have always disliked how the realms is too fleshed out. bear with me. everytime we go to a town and i dont have all the precise details memorized ie whos the mayor what are the guilds etc... i may have a player who does know and calls me on it. and that ruins the realism of the game. so its good as a dm to have the freedom to make things up on the fly.
