Not by TSR.  The "old" settings are, IMHO, Blackmoor, Greyhawk, Known
World, Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms, Lankmar, Hyboria (sort of).
I'd've loved to see the Suel Empirium stuff expanded--it's an
alternate part of the same planet as Greyhawk that, AFAIK, only saw
cursory coverage in some Dragon articles.  Anyway, those are what i'd
consider "back to the roots".  Along with City State of the
Invincible Overlord, Atlantis, and some other non-TSR settings of the
era.
