Note: I like "official" threads
Note #2: Make this sticky

Anyway, to start things off, the link is http://www.blizzard.com/war3x/

It's updated often with new info, so check it occasionally. So far, two new heroes have been announced: The Blood Mage, and the Crypt Lord (both are shown on the site).

Also, this is copied from the main page:

One new Hero per race, each possessing powerful spells and magical abilities

A host of new units, each equipped with new abilities and spells, giving players the opportunity to create diverse strategic and tactical forms of combat

Player-built shops, unique for each race, equipped with items carefully designed to improve and aid the units of every race

Neutral Heroes, available for recruitment by all players, that can supplement and strengthen a player's army with all new spells and abilities

Expanded multiplayer options over Battle.net® including multiple new game types, clan and tournament support

this expansion sounds awesome. hopefully it'll convince some of you weirdos to start playin wc3 :I it's better! better in every way! arrrrrg O.......O!!

James · #3

I play WC3, dammit. You're just never around.

Anyway, yeah. The new additions sound really cool, especially personal shops and NPC heroes.

Hey, asshole! I started a thread on The Frozen Throne first. It's still up on the old board here! I demand that you acknowledge it as the first official WarCraft III expansion thread!

i just have to wonder why the hell they are releasing a beta for it??

I mena i can understand for a full game but a beta for the expansion seems a bit ridiculous.

Damn, I was really hoping they'd add in a new race for the expansion, not just new heroes. :/

The game is really good, I just don't have the time to learn it. Everytime I play online, I get SLAUGHTERED. I need to just shutdown I-Mockery for 2 months and play the game nonstop so I can get good enough.

Rog, you can just make up fake vacations to go on, and just play WC3. And Carni, I do acknowledge you as the original finder of this information.

Moving on, I'm glad they didn't add a new race. That would probably have ended up coming off really bad, just throwing in a bunch of units for a new race. I was kind of thinking they might have added the Legion, but they said that they were just too powerful to have as a playable race.

Warcraft 3 pissed me off.

But I will probably get this expansion.

Mockery · #10

I just played Warcraft 3 for the first time in ages and Mew tore me apart. o.o

:savaged

James · #11

Well, Mew cheats, so don't feel bad.

mew barios · #12

i don't cheat you jerk.

James · #13

That's what a CHEATER would say.

mew barios · #14

no one stopped you from saving a replay and seeing for yourself. :/

James · #15

I tried, but it said I couldn't, because the cheats you used corrupted the file.

mew barios · #16

lol

Mockery · #17

Mew destroyed me again last night.

James · #18

I see. You were too good to show up for a group game, but you can get on later so you and mew can have your 1 on 1 lovefest?

James · #20

The rest of us need some Roger loving too, you know.

Mockery · #21

Nope.

Zero Signal · #22

WC3 is definitely more fast-paced than Starcraft or the other Warcrafts. Easy to rush, too.

BulletCatcher · #23

I'm glad they made the game more fast paced and force you into attacking and scouting. I hate those BW games where 3 people fight and the 4th *cough* MEW *cough* sits back and lets them attack each other and moves in on the weakened forces.
