Hey all,
I'm Lag_reviews maybe you know me, maybe not.
Anyways, I am going to teach you how to play Warcraft 3 online without Bnet!.
Here it is, How to play war 3 online without Bnet!
Okay, Firstly you have to: Fully install Warcraft 3 reign of chaos and Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne (Frozen Throne is required as you won't see many people playing Reign of Chaos)
Secondly you have to have to latest Warcraft patch so you can play other peoples games, the patch can be found and downloaded here: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=en_US&articleId=21224
Secondly you have to have to latest Warcraft patch so you can play other peoples games, the patch can be found and downloaded here: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=en_US&articleId=21224
Now that you have the game installed I will tell you the steps of how to play Warcraft online without Bnet!
Okay, Firstly: here you have to install a free program called Game Ranger which allows you to play a series of games online but you must own the games to play them.
You can download and install Game Ranger here: http://www.gameranger.com/
Secondly: once you have installed it and used its step by step install/register guide you are a few steps from playing Warcraft online without Bnet!
Thirdly: Once you have Game Ranger open, scroll down through the list of games until you see Warcraft 3 frozen throne. Double click any of the listed ones to join it, one with locks will need a password and some are friends only and if they have a green dot the game is in play and can not be joined. If you join it may prompt you that it can not locate Warcraft on your computer so tell it where you installed the exe of Warcraft then re-join a map.
Fourthly: If you get a router error just hit continue or portforward if you can not play a game.
Fifth: Once you are in the lobby of the game (make sure the description has your version of Warcraft in it or you may not be able to play it.) You have to wait for the host to click start and a dialog will pop up that says waiting for host (This means the host is choosing the map) then it should say joining players and your Warcraft will automatically start, it will auto click on LAN then the hosts map will be listed there and it will click on it and click join.
Sixth: Once you are in the game lobby, then you are right play the map and all you have to do is sit back and wait for the host to hit start

Troubleshooting if you can not see the hosts map in the LAN section:
1. If the game does not appear in LAN than you may not have the same version of Warcraft as the Host.
2. You may need to portforward to join if you can not see the hosts game in the LAN part of Warcraft, Game Ranger's website has a guide on Portforwarding.
3. If all that fails then Game Ranger has got an error and you may need to exit the game and re-join the hosts game.
4. If that fails then Try contacting Game Ranger for more help (You do not need a legit cd key to play Warcraft on Game Ranger)
