Nasrudin and Freakazoid left on their own will and still do not wish to rejoin the Wc3:WoW Team. Freakazoid has quit Wc3 all together and I haven't been able to get Nasrudin to contact me back. I believe he has left as well.

We will keep the partying system the way it is. They follow you and help you level faster. And in the next version, if we include some instances, they will become very handy and required.
If you don't want anyone in your group, don't bother inviting them...

A shame that this world is made of capitalists, that makes me sad
Not u, but that u cant even make a little online game without having to pay for it

Well we don't have to pay. But for a good one, we do. Anyone can start their own server really, but ours (the official ones) will obviously be faster. And if we pay for servers, it'll be ten times faster.

As you may have read in one of the threads, we promised to have some things such as a Talent system and an advanced character inventory system. However I am afraid that some of these things will not be in the public beta due to our JASS scripter TripX being called by Blizzard Entertainment for a new game they are making that I will not reveal. So until she returns, those systems will probably not be added to WC3:WoW unless if we find some one good enough to make what she attempted.

If you believe that you have what it takes, then please, feel free to E-Mail the team. But please note that you must provide evidence that you are capable of making systems in JASS.

Whaaaa...?

Got my attention.

Just wondering, how far ahead is your movement system? Can you straft or use the WASD keys yet?

No, it would fuck it up completely. [A] == attack, [s] == stop
We will use arrow keys, unless RtC is complete.

How are the skills working? I DL an old beta a while ago (You had one up for like a few days I think) and I thought it was very uncomplete and not that good, but it was a beta.

The priest class has been revamped almost completely and I think the Rogue and Warlock had about 10 abilties revamped. Shados said he was going to finish the Warlock, but things have been moving very slowly with abilities. Closed Beta testers won't have very much new stuff to test for bugs at first, but as we get deeper in the making of WC3:WoW the testers will be needed to find more bugs more often.

I've been studying the terrain of WC3:WoW and comparing it to World of Warcraft's terrain and have been trying to find the flaws. And for a while I couldn't figure out what it was. But now I know exactly what it is: We need to elevate the terrain by making hills much larger and mountains much taller. We'll have to exadurate the height of things and this also includes rescaling everything in WC3:WoW a lot larger such as buildings and trees.

What keeps the terrainer(s) from doing this? Well the main problem with making the terrain like WoW is the camera system we have for WC3:WoW. Although it is very similar to WoW's, the camera system is limited and can get glitched at times when you walk on top of a tall hill or get too close to a mountain. So due to this problem, we're going to have to get our JASS scripters onto the camera system and try to make it adjust to the terrain in a special way, perhaps in a way that won't require the terrain to be done first and have the camera adjust on its own naturally at proper times. We are not positive if this will work, but it is something we'll be trying to engage in the triggering and terraining field for a while now. If it proves to be a failure, we'll confirm that it either isn't possible, is too much work, or that we need a very skilled JASS scripter to do such a thing.

The only bad thing about us having to scale things larger is that the terrainers will have to make either each zone compact together, or make numerous terrain maps, each a different part of a zone. We'll try to avoid having to do this but hopefully if we find a way to extend the size of the map from 256x256 to perhaps maybe 500x500. If we could do this, it'd make it a lot easier on our terrainers and we'd have to import less maps. But in another sense, it may make terraining harder for the terrainers because they will have to make a replica of the terrain as exact as they possibly can, which would take even longer in the terraining process. So if you have any idea how to increase the size of the map past 256x256, please contact us and let the team know. Or you can post here! We would appreciate it very much.

500X500?! Are you mad? 256X256 in third person already lags!
