I wonder if the creator will release this map as "open" so someone can continue development.... in English. I fear that Blizzard will be closing Battle.net in the next year or so, and everyone who loves WC3 will resort to private servers or Private Networking over the internet, like Hamachi and such. That will put a huge break in map sharing and such.
And, yea, it is epic long to finish. But, still fun, for some reason.
