They've added new classes for rogue, priest, and paladin, as well as hero classes for high-level players. There's a few new races as well, such as trolls and gnomes.

Re:After the freecraft incident?

[hibiki_r]

You seem to be confusing freecraft, a RTS pretty similar to Warcraft II, to bnetd, an open-source battle.net server.

It is pretty likely thta bnetd, despite having legit uses, was in some way hurting Vivendi's bottom line. However, I don't see how freecraft can hurt their bottom line at all. What do they gain by killing a Linux freeware game?

They're never go after wine or starcraft emulator because you need a working version of their games with a cd key that you PURCHASED from them. The reason they went after freecraft is because it was easy to play on without a cd key. It hurt their bottom line, and I say good for them that they shut it down. Blizzard is one of the few conmpanies that produces quality games on each and every release (wel, almost, Diablo 2 didn't really do it for me) and they deserve every dime they make. I am glad they shut down a service that allowed freeloaders to profit off their hard work. hed.
