So, do any of you computer wizards know how to play classic Warcraft III online now? Hosting games, etc.? I mean playing online by completely bypassing Blizzard servers.
Any help around this would be much appreciated. I am Über, the craziest Über ever.
The ENT one isn't as good as a full private server like http://eurobattle.net/ the only issue is there is no priv server with 24 player support yet. best ones are on 1.28.5 patch which isnt bad.
Bond, do you know of other private servers? Links please?
I haven't played a whole lot on ENT and Eurobattle. Both have their issues for sure, but I'm just glad that there are alternatives out there that work. Eurobattle has a really cool version of Legion TD that I haven't seen before. There is a "FOOOOOOTY" game hosted on it too, but whenever I try to join I get "disconnected from Battle.net".
What I would really like to play on these private servers, apart from CHF and footmen games, are Legion x20 maps (Legion TD Mega 4.5 x20 2vs2) and Custom Hero Survival maps. So far I haven't seen anything where I can play them. And I can't host them.
My hope is that with the clusterfuk that is W3:Refunded, there will be enough pissed of players who'll still want to play good old W3, so some resourceful computer wizards will make even better private servers. In a few months maybe. I wouldn't mind paying for a good hostbot/private server, a small yearly fee or something like that. I am sure there are plenty of other gamers out there who feel the same way.
Btw, if people can't see Russian text in Eurobattle, then installunifontto see Russian symbols.
Onwards comrades! I am Über, the craziest Über ever.
I am not touching a link with "blizzard" in it. And I sure as hell am not installing Battle.net again. I got rid of it for good. Because fuk Blizzard. Not the old Blizzard that made Warcraft, but the new one. Fuk'em.
As far as CHF goes, I guess I am just going to put AI enemies into an offline game and fiddle with myself. Until something better comes along.
Comrades, come join the Russian servers! Because in Soviet Russia, Warcraft plays you! I am Über, the craziest Über ever.
How did you make this work? Every time I try it just tries to update the Battle.net client, then tries to update Reforged, and ultimately opens Reforged instead of tFT classic. I loved the old look and would really like to have it back.
Wish we could turn back time... To the good old days... When Blizzard cared and we could play CHF all dayyy... Warcraft is no game, Warcraft is my LIFE!
