Hello friends,

So I was scrolling through the cyberspace once again and was trying to find dank memoars to no avail. Then I stumbled on something I cannot remember seeing myself, but I'm sure a lot of others have; namely pre-release materials for WarCraft 3. I found it on Hiveworkshop.com where someone, sometime around 2010, compiled a list of all the vids and articles they could find and here it is: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/the-warcraft-3-prerelease-material-thread.155117/ (That said, all creds to the author of the original thread.)

With the HD-remakes announced I really hope there will be a WarCraft 4 at some point, but I'm note sure it will ever happen. Today Blizzard has grown so big and the RTS-market in proportion has shrunken quite a bit. 

The main reason for this thread is actually just to share this with all of you. Cause I literally had no clue WC3 by the time of 1999 looked more like Dungeon Siege, Never Winter Nights or what turned out to be World of WarCraft. It's like the remnants of WoW are much older than you'd think.

Enjoy!

Comon, how does this not smell WoW:Bossfight?

I have hope for the RTS genre to say hi to warcraft again.

Blizzard saying that RTS games won't sell anymore will be stupid, since we've already seen that pattern with 2K and Xcom, sure it's not the same genre but it's fairly similar.

I think it would sell quite a lot. But I wonder if it would sell more than let's say another WoW expansion? Hard to say without the actual data.

Wait, what HD-remakes? Or are you referring to the SC2 mods?

Nopes!

I'm referring to this!
