We are currently deciding whether to start http://tft.w3arena.net/ private server, ICCUP, or keep trying for Battle.net, as Garena has limitations, stay tuned
Edit: Well guys, I'm officially ceasing operations running this thread, if you guys would like make a new thread or group, be my guest
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WarCraft III is a good game, tell the truth, im terribly bad at it and when I tried playing someone I got destroyed to oblivion, but still it is a good game, its challenging, and I hate to see it die like this, for goodness sake Brood War is a older game and is still running. So I was thinking if there are any people that play Warcraft III and any other custom games on Garena, B.Net, Bored Aussie, ICCUP, I please ask you to maybe start a stream for the community to see how much of a good game it is.
Note: Im not saying stop playing your other games, play them they are all awesome, but how about we just try it out yeah? There is quite a few people who would like to see this happen, I shall share what information I can from the research I have.
To get the game: You can pick a copy for a really cheap price at most game stores and even ebay, not saying you HAVE to buy it.
Websites:
wcreplays.com Probably the best English speaking community around.
Also try checking the server forums of whichever you pick.
http://www.waaaghtv.com/ has apparently broadcasts of games
http://war3.replays.net/ Chinese website that broadcasts replays
there's still an active FFA scene too:

You don't need a flame shield, it's a good initiative.

I think someone who would fire at sight a W3 thread would be banned very quickly.

Looks like you spent too much time on the SC2 forums to be turning on a Flame Shield. I always wanted to try WC3....I only knew WC3 tru the form of DotA(which is overly popular in South East Asia T_T).

I got 1 friend who plays warcraft and hates sc2 (a very conservative gamer :D) so i had to pick it up.
My experience is that the blizzard servers are always plentyful and has a relatively good matchup ladder system. I actually won the second game i played there (under my friends watchful mouth however). The issue with hacks i did not know about, but what kind of hacks do you mean? I think as long as it's populated we just got to assume that the hackers are a minority and just report (if that exists) and move on. Just as on sc2 ladder.
As said its a nice initative and i think its an awesome game. Personally i don't play it too much since i enjoy sc2 and broodwar too much, but still. the blizzard ladder is pretty occupied and i like to think the better of humanity and say that a minority hacks :D
GLHF
EDIT: Yea, the blizzard forums are hell to be in. I basicly get angry every time i check out that forum since a minority of posts are actually something else than balance whining and trolling. But i guess we are just spoiled with the awesome moderation of TL :D

Thanks for that, and I think the hacks are most likely map hacks and stuff like that.

Im on if anyone who sucks at it wanna start playing customgames against me Tried some ladder a while ago and got smashed.
Love the game and the campaign tho
Would be cool if anyone could give away some strategys to use aswell cause im lost!
|
It has been a while since I was on warcraft 3, I kinda assument that the game would be mostly dead. Tell me that I am wrong! Are people still playing lots of custom games? Or is the custom game list empty these days?

Keep in mind Bored Aussie is an Aussie server so you're probably gonna get 350+ ms from Europe.

if they have a good latency reducer it will still be far better than bnet

Hey I'm in, I always wanted to play more, the most I ever used to do was 3v3, and 4v4 because I was humiliated every 1v1 game by how bad I was. Haven't played in years, though.
|
I actually started to play WC3 with some friends again, WC3 3v3 is a thousand times better in every aspect than shitty SC2 teamgames.
Even considering the fact that atleast half of the players hack it is a better experience than SC2, and that says something :p
|
iCCUP is always superior if you're avoiding the hacking on b.net.
sigh, another moment when I wished i was at home with my custom rig and not at uni with my 6 year old mac tt.
