So...anyone still play on Bnet?  I haven't logged in of late (no time), but I'm going to soon so my account isn't deleted.

That 2 week period where we all played was a lot of fun.  We should try to meet up again.

I'm waiting for the expansion to come out before picking up the game again. I simply can't stand the game balance as it currently is.

True Tage. I'm in the beta and I've seen some improvments made. I think the addition of another hero balances things a bit as well. But I've been having some trouble with my copy or Warcraft 3, in that after a couple hours of no play it gives me some CD-ROM error that it can't find the disc, even though the disc is right there. Bah, so its come down to me having to uninstall/reinstall each time this happens.

Hey yall!
Lets just say ive played Warcraft 3 alot since its release and im actually pretty good at it.
Ive played alot with top players (and beating them too!) so i got a pretty good scope at the game so if you want some tips feel free to ask ;)
But my days are over.. im gonna try doing something useful for a change..  ;D

Anyway.. ive played blizz games since Warcraft 2 and enjoyed them all, especially the Diablo series, so im hoping for Diablo 3.
Looking forward to WoW also!
Other predictions... maybe an FPS but im sceptic on that.. perhaps theyll make something completely new?
Like creating a new genre?
No matter what they end up doin it will probably be great!
Regarding Starcraft Ghost.. im not the biggest fan of those kinds of games.. but it looks pretty good!

woops long post  :o

Uh, welcome to our forum. I don't think anyone here has played WC3 recently, but the expansion looks cool. We are fans of the Blizzard in general, though, as this week's poll shows.

Ok, so i just bought the expansion.
New tilesets? I wont say no.
New Orc hero who can actually heal people? I'm all ears brother.
5 Neutral heros and transport boats? It sounds good.
The ability to set the ground on fire with the Orc catapult? Gimme!

Oh, you can now start clans that have their own channels and clan-ratings and stuff. We ought to start a TWG one. But you need at least 10 people...
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

I've only played a small bit, since my computer enjoy's annoying me anytime I try to play Warcraft 3 and now its expansion, but I must say the addition of boats is what I'm sure everyone's been waiting for. I've used the transport ships and galley's or warships, I'm not sure if you can get the warships in multiplayer mode.

I won't be playing this full throttled until I get my new computer soon.

The boats are meh. Most maps do not use them. I like the new heros - they all seem good, and i cannot wait to try out the Elven Blood mage, with his Phoenix (i wonder if blizzard likes harry potter?). However, in the one skirmish i have played so far, i used the Tauren/Farseer combination. So the new orc hero remains a nifty backup, but non-essential new hero. The campaign missions so far are pretty much the same level as last time. Maybe a bit harder. It has a lot of small gameplay tweaks as well.
