Ultra Magnus writes "Looks like Blizzard is releasing an expansion pack to WC3. I've always been pleased with their expansions before, so I hope this lives up to expectations."

Or am I off on the weekly schedule? Because I could swear this was the week we're upset over the DMCA server stuff.
"The Frozen Throne"...
Now, that'll wake you up in the morning!
Blizzard promise that this extension to WC3 will allow the standards body to resolutely approve new web standards well within a year of their being suggested.
Oh, hang on...

Aren't we still hating Blizzard?
Yep, you'n'me both! As for everyone else, they made it one of the best-selling titles ever, so I think that was a pretty darned ineffective boycott...
Ooh, a sarcasm detector. Oh, that's a real useful invention.
Wanna know what I'm looking for?
A patch that allows a WarCraft III player go up against an Age Of Mythology player. Better yet, make some sort of a patchwork quilt where you've got Sims Online to the north, Command & Conquer to the south, EverQuest to the east, and WarCraft to the west.
THAT would be fun.

I found it interesting that some outfit called 'Swords and Sorcery Studios' has partnered with Blizzard to put out the Dungeons & Dragons WarCraft RPG too. I'm sure there's a couple of geeks who still get off on spinning 20 sided dice for kicks.
Story is here. NOTE: This is NOT a computer game, its the same D&D we all had a crack at/obsessed over in our teens. Although a video game version would be pretty cool to see in the future.

"I hate blizzard; screw WC3!
"Oooh, shiny."
In my defense, I dualboot OS X to play it and not winshit.
You can't judge a book by the way it wears its hair.
About time too!

The WC3 Expansion is upgrade from WC3. When it is completed, it brings about an increase in gold production, fan loyalty(like "Blizzard rocks"), and opposing commentary(ex: "This is unoriginial"). It also extends the life of WC3 for 4 to 6 months.
When I was skimming the front page a few minutes ago I saw the "WC3" there and thought "Wing Commander III? What's that doing getting mentioned on Slashdot, it's 9 years old!.... well, I guess it could be a re-post!" :)
Seriously though... am I crazy, or are there other people who still associate "WC3" with that space-combat sim that, at its release, needed just about all the computing power a then-new 486 could muster?
