And the game depends on Battle net server, requires Internet connection to play even singleplayer. Yeah there is a temporary offline mode but it will still require to login every 30 days which is a joke, to me this means the game is unplayable, I boycott such games.

      I believe there is something truly special about this game, to keep it surviving through time, and I will be trying my best to keep it survive for a long time to come.
      But to survive you need to evolve, That's why I fully support alternative things like community editions of the game and so on, blizzard can't shepard this game forever and they don't necessarily deserve too nor know how to so...
      In the grand scheme of things, with the new modern gaming industry, there is absolutely room for old school games with safe havens that stand the test of time, and Warcraft 3 is one of them, it would be an absolute shame to let it go to ruin or waste.
      As for your somewhat unlucky experience in making maps, My experience was different I found out a lot of Warcraft 3 mapmakers have made incredible work that indie games and mobile games steal from... Or take inspiration.
      Make no mistake, The Warcraft 3 mapping scene is a center of unique creativity. It's just sad that with the release of reforged mapmakers got put on the back list in terms of priority.

    Why making new games when you can just become a god in Warcraft community? I like what you are doing my man. I mean, my god.

    Remaking War3 in Java is as crazy (and based) as those madmen that remade Morrowind in Lua

    All these years for bigger bobs - and of course you will share this version for just 99.99$ (with the bob enhancement feature - hopefully).

    This sounds awesome, but I'm not sure about what it actually is. Is it it's own fully-fledged game engine ? Could it be modified to create original games ?
    The Warcraft III engine was so good it remains relevant even 20 years after the first release. An open-source re-implementatino would be awesome.
