I´m a second edition man regarding the fluff, and a fourth edition man regarding the rules. I miss the metaplot.

the writers have been preoccupied with bringing the crunch up to speed with the new rules system (and the delays in publishing from certain economic issues didnt help) but i think the recent corp guide is a nice indication that metaplot will be back as more books gets published.
