DoW was removed because of a lack of support. (Really, it was... ) Now, if you can honestly tell me with a straight face that you can get more ppl to join DoW than DotA locally, then I will concede my point. Like it or not, DoW is still a niche title locally, and unless you can get more mindless zombies to actually try something new (The only reason Warcraft 3 was so famous was simply because it was from Blizzard), you're never gonna get it mainstream... This is the fact of the Malaysian gaming industry, I've quit trying to introduce lesser known (But marginally better) titles to the masses already since its an exercise in futility since most gamers locally play what others play and not really for personal enjoyment.
well, its true. Getting malaysian gamers to try new games is like talking to the deaf.

...or....maybe what they need is super-marketing strats, like P&G ...
If the guys in newera can get one CC to really market DOW. Like have tourneys and making sure u can play the game online and promote the game to the users in the CC. i think it might bring all the DOW players to the CC and have monstrous battles. This will then be awareness to those who havent tried DOW. (King_Kong, im not flaming newera. Just suggesting)
Well i do believe that the CCs hold the key to the game's popularity in malaysia.

I not even see 'a' person playing DOW in CC at my area....
Wei, call lar some DOW players first then meet there and frag. BTW we still have to have our match.
When i get some time off, we will see to it.

haha. looks like this thread is now moving to becoming anti-dota.
well, New Era is currently planning for a tourney and we're looking at it sometime in October, a month after the launch of WA.
we're trying to make sure the logistics is well managed...
Youre God-sent man.

Aw, that's a sad reality, the CCs in Subang still had their versions in 1.2
Irregardless of the masses' current madness for DoTA, DoW is still special in its own way.
Now the pertinent question is, will WA be here in MY this month?
Well, im trying to talk to the owner in GamesWorld to get their original DOW game copies updated, thus allowing us to play online and expose the game to those who hasnt played it yet. But he seems to be a hard person to catch
