Blizzard had alraedy made up a plan that they WILL not succes in their original gaming BUT gain the profit in the Warcraft MAP EDITOR.

Well, just for ur info, it is nearly impossible to get pirated warcraft III cd in western countries. To my amuse, i found it very hard to get an original one so I have to buy it in ebay. I think it's only m`sia or sg where ppl can buy pirated cd and dvd easily. In western countries, it doesnt exist at all. Btw, back to the topic, warcraft III definitely wont die becoz of dota, warcraft III itself is already intriguing enough, the story line, the heroes and etc.

I just sayed tht BLIZZARD wants to keep it's fans in touch of the game. So, MAYBE Map Editor is one of their plans. And war and melee games are a map right?-- THTS wat i saw in the manual.

you remind me the Starcraft map editor...
i hear my fren say it is very hard to make a map, coz it need coding much
and unlike the war3 map editor, which got option to select what event to do, and what will happen next

>>>>>> GOD, if they do that, there will be no need of having other RTS gaming around anymore, players could just create thier own RTS GAME!

>>> Im saying tht if some1 let the RTS engine spoile out for players, thn players could create thier own RTS game, isn't it?I mean lots of possibilities.

>>> I know that other RTS are better than warcraft, like ages of empires, rise of nations/legends, lots more. LOL!!! Quake realease it's FPS engine, truly that creating games are tough, but there are still many people willing to take a try on it, maybe tomorrow u'll saw a new FPS game created using Quake FPS engine.

>>> I didn't say map editor made W3 the best game. My freind-- an RTS dummer, says tht W3 not so good, even red alert2 better than it. But he plays W3 again, err.... well DotA.

Say, I could agree that W3 is a great game, coz i've played the game, and found storyline quite interesting, evenmore that it had it's own W3 History, something like Burning Legion.

>>> I could really agree that if DotA didn't born out, maybe there are still many gamers don't know W3, even the W1 & W2. Beyond myself is an example, if it's not DotA, I REALLY dont' know what is WARCRAFT III.

>>> As the above, even though Blizzard says that the MAP EDITOR is not under it's control. But BLIZZARD DID made a nice move that to present the editor along the game, this make it even MORE popular than be4.

>>> W3 gets the result:
