Why I want RQIV is this:
There are parts of RQIII that do not work or work VERY badly. I CANNOT get my hands on RQII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Remember, folks, not EVERYBODY ON THE WHOLE STINKING PLANET HAS BEEN PLAYING RUNEQUEST SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME! (End of gratuitous capitalizations and exclamation points--loud and rude, but the point has to be made OVER and OVER and OVER AGAIN to some people.)
Other reasons:
I hear that RQIV is going to be a "great-big-o" book, like Ars Magica third edition--why? NOT for more rules, but to load as much of Glorantha into a "basic" set as possible.
I LIKE this idea. It is one of the things that got Ars Magica sales to pick back up. People got sick of having to buy oodles of supplements just to get a campaign off the ground!

Finally: RuneQuestIV is actually being playtested out-of-house (by me, I hope and pray, as soon as the RuneCzar finishes looking at the latest version. Oliver, you have my name--PLEEEEEEEEEEZ, can I, huh? PLEEEEZ? I've already given you bunches of comments 'n stuff--oh, PLEEEEEZ? I've got players all ready and willing--there's the pair who want to play an Uzko and his Enlo "hunting dog", my fiancee wants to play a Chalana Arroy Duck, and more).
Anyway, this is why I think RQIV sounds like a good idea.
