... but if you're a Warcraft III: Reforged player, you can eat dirt. Apparently.

Edit: (As others noted above, was this specifically not mentioned?)

Hopefully they take care of us!

I have one need from this company. Don't take any steps to shut down the Warsmash Mod Engine project, which notably has no users and they have no reason to care about.

So, by not caring about me, I suppose they will take care of me quite well.

Huh.

Can't say I really have any hopes left to leave up, but what the heck

... What are you guys talking about? They didn't mention Warcraft 3 specifically, but they also didn't mention Frozen Throne, Reforged, or Warcraft 2 for that matter... They were just covering the broad categories, and "got started with Warcraft: Orcs & Humans" covers all the RTS ones.

As others have pointed out, the absence of Warcraft III Reforged mention gives some reason for caution.

And indeed, visiting the official site for news tickers does give a slightly grim impression: The 'Save the Date' is a pinned news banner on the top of the news listing for Warcraft Rumble, World of Warcraft and Heartstone.

What about on Warcraft III Reforged section? No mention of the event at all, so this really makes me doubt we're going to get considerable attention.

I don't expect much, BUT..

If we get another absolute nothing burger, without even a mention of the game or it's current situation - or at least some sort of plan, I'll probably leave WC3 for good.

Massive props to the map devs for keeping customs alive.
Random Tower Defence games or Direct Strike are the only reason Reforged still hasn't been uninstalled. I try to play the game every now and then, but it just becomes less fun with every log-in..

Do yo have Reforged? because thrall's wolf is the most obvious one, but thrall, tyrande and jaina are pretty much reforged, medivh looks classic tho XD

Also: Warcraft 30th Anniversary Key Art
I looked more into this and found the original image source, which is Blizzard Press World of Warcraft's promotion of the upcoming event. So, indeed, it's not actually Warcraft III Reforged art but general art to advertise the event.

Thrall, Tyrande and Jaina indeed look pretty Reforged-ish, so we shall see.

Nice anniversary (plenty of Buy Now "micro" transactions)
90$ mount...
Well - no one forces you to buy brutosaur (especially if you already had wasted 5.000.000 gold in the past to buy a normal brutosaur).


In terms of announcement I would say next:
Don't get enchanted and you won't get disenchanted.
 
Maybe that guy who messaged me on hive 6 months ago and said I had to change the Warsmash license from MIT to GPL because it has a GPL dependency, which in his mind meant that Microsoft is not legally allowed to use Warsmash for anything... Maybe he was secretly a Microsoft employee looking for what to do on War3 even though I asked him and he said he was not a secret Microsoft employee.

It would be funny if Reforged 2.0 was built using Warsmash. That would be so dumb and funny.

"This time, it's actually a remake of the entire software, so it has been truly Reforged."

But it's more likely that what we will get is a patch to Reforged that breaks CSW and offers its own WC1 or WC2 remake made in house, that upsets the fans by destroying the fan content and providing a worse replacement. That would be so fitting and funny at this point.

(Note: I'm kidding, they haven't the potential at Activision Microsoft to remake WC1 on the Reforged engine. They don't have enough know-how.)

Right but their reforging was based on WoW. Also, there's characters in that image like the obvious War Within Xal'atath.
Also Anduin, perhaps Deathwing or Alexstrasza and of course Hearthstone cards, as well as perchance Warcraft Rumble grunt and footman or Heroes of the Storm ones?

thrall's wolf design is reforged exclusive, same with tyrande's sabercat
