Opening...
with Rui (Development Director)
Hello folks. We apologize for not having brought you the news batch sooner.
Archian, our Art & Site Director, made this wonderful image you see above(check the bottom right of the image) but nobody took the initiative of actually posting the news, so I guess I will, like last time.
I thought of bringing a topic of discussion to the news batch, which concerned the moderator status. However, it's Christmas, and I'd rather have less serious matters today. In this news batch we bring, as always, the latest updates of the Hive's hosted projects!I'll take the chance to thank Hawkwing on behalf of the administration for his job here on the Hive Workshop.
Merry Christmas, and (if that's the case) happy vacation!

"
Wc3:WoW" is an artificial World of Warcraft using the Warcraft III engine. Like in the MMORPG, you are allowed to choose your race and class, and you can visit places of the world of Azeroth as you well know it!So far, the leader, Craka_J, has been remaking Orgrimmar yet again, to make it "
fit a more actual size". You can view screenshots
here!
EDIT: P.S. – We forgot to inform: Bob27 and MadseN have joined the Wc3:WoW terraining team! Craka_J also said the team was pushing hard to release something on Christmas Day, and that they're needing a JASS coder to replace BoneBreaker, who's quiting sometime after the end of this year.
The award-winning "
Reinventing the Craft" aims to add functionally to Warcraft III, and make it less limited, such as adding new natives and destroying the player limit!Unfortunately, the 1.22 patch destroyed most of the work done by MindWorX and SFilip. However, SFilip told the Hive news that RtC "
has been worked on in the past few months", informing also that the RtC team "
already fixed most of the stuff patch 1.22 destroyed". The project still needs, however, a proof-of-concept map, which shouldn't take long depending on how well the tests run.
The other projects did not contact us until the closing of this edition.
