Forgotten Realms 4E Question

So, whats the deal with Forgotten Realms 4E? A few months ago I saw a Dugeons and Dragons 4E players manual and noticed that certain classes were no longer in the book. I only glanced through the book, but I wasn’t really impressed with it. So I wondered how that was gonna effect the FR franchise, or even Eberron. I haven’t seen anything to support it except a few hints here and there online but what I’ve heard about the FR world in 4E I wasn’t exactly excited about. Does anyone have the skinny on the changes? I’m at work at so I can’t get to the WOTC site right now. (its blocked here for some reaosn.)

(EDIT: I probably should have posted this in the game room. Sorry, folks.)

There’s going to be Players Handbook vol. 2 that will cover some of the missing classes, and others will likely be covered in vol. 3.

Some days, the urge to turn to piracy is nearly insurmountable.
