Does anyone actually still play or do people just come here out of nostalgia?

[Arcisal]

That's very much the case for me.

Warcraft III games will always hold a special place in my heart; the memories made here throughout the years will never be recreated. But my first love that brought me here was my love for custom maps - a love thoroughly supplemented by the Hive. Now, after years, Warcraft III just does not have the same appeal any longer and the Hive is just an occasional trip down memory lane.

Do people here still play Warcraft III maps?

 

[Rex.]

Yes there are still people playing War3 like there are in C.S 1.6. Just look at our huge community.

 

[KILLCIDE]

People in the community still play the custom games. Check out the Multiplayer, Clans and Arrangements forum. We also have this occasional thing called the Funmap Evening Event.

 

[Cherrymage]

Well, to be honest...

neither. I come here mainly for the Roleplay and friends like @WhiteFang !

Though at times I would indulge myself in the Maps and Models sections and try to rummage my way to find a good enough singleplayer/AI map and also, window-shopping at the models

 

[Chaosy]

I mod the game. But I do not play over battle net or garena etc.
It happens that I play some single player maps though, still, it's rare.

 

[LordDz]

Still working to finish a campaign I started a while ago and post on the forums from time to time.

 

[Deleted member 219079]

I play my maps when I finish them on MP. Though it's been years since I've finished one...

 

[Mr. Gameplay Knowledge]

How bored do u must be to ask such a question?

 

[AditTechno]

I still play it but i have to re-download it again.

 

[Idaero Ace]

I do nothing.

Interesting question.

I haven't legitimately played Warcraft 3 in... Years? I mean I've tested maps I've worked on, I've run through the projects of others... And I'd be remiss if I didn't include, at least once or twice in the last 5 years, a quick jaunt onto Battle.net to keep it active. So sure, I may have played a map or two in the last (half-)decade. But other than that?... Nawp.

Don't get me wrong, I love this game. I love so much about it, but the hard facts of life (for me) are that I am terrible at RTS's & don't really play them much for fun. I really love the campaigns & do that OK, but past that, I barely if ever play f'real.

I mod, though, still to this day (though it's increasingly slow, increasingly off-and-on, and all that). So I'm here on the Hive pretty much entirely for modding purposes. I'm here because this is where people are; all the other big modding sites (I know of) are long gone. If it wasn't a ghost town, I'd be @ Wc3C.net still. But alas.

Lol

 

[TheKurt009]

i do, mainly because the website is good.
i have uninstalled war3 years ago, nowadays i just come and dump my artshits on a thread.

 

[Zombie]

I haven't turned on WC3 since 2009

 

[DaneTheBeast]

I rarely play, if I can get a friend or 2 to play then it's much more fun

Well warcraft is.... timeless I guess

there will always be people who still play it but at the same time it can only be played a few hundred times before feeling black and white

I know the whole reason why me and my friends used to play lan was for warcraft, but then after about 3 years of that it got boring

now we play warhammer, shooters and racers

 

[Mr. Gameplay Knowledge]

To prevent the death of warcraft 3,i highly suggest to delete this threader.
The game itself isnt boring,just the gameplay is boring,so if someone makes a map with an gameplay that is good enough to beat a gameplay like Dota's,then it would bring warcraft back to new life.
So do a map with an awesome gameplay,before i do it.
Just saying,dont forget to share the gameplay on every gaming site u find.

 

[deepstrasz]

,so if someone makes a map with an gameplay that is good enough to beat a gameplay like Dota's,then it would bring warcraft back to new life.

You know gaming life is much more than the brainwashing DotA, right? Have you even taken a look at what maps this site has stored? There are so many game genres here... Heck, even Vampirism, Tree Tag, Elevator Murderer and other maps of this type became a game (eg: Dead by Daylight).

wish any of those actually grew back then. moba killed wc3 just as good as blizzards

@deepstrasz ,
This is what for me Vampirism, Tree Tag, Elevator Murderer,campaigns,Sunken Ruins and other maps are:

So dota is something that become a real game,not just a part of warcraft.

Are you a professional moron or just a gifted amateur?

Yeah, somewhat it's sad. What I'm saying is that, these days a lot of gameplay ideas and mechanics seen in Warcraft III maps have become actual games and I doubt that the original Warcraft maps authors had anything to do with it except for those two that worked on DotA.

This is what for me Vampirism, Tree Tag, Elevator Murderer,campaigns,Sunken Ruins and other maps are:

Well, I'm glad I've read that again. I really thought you were generalizing. If it's just about you, well, I and many others don't care.

 

[Mr. Gameplay Knowledge]

Hmm...,i would never call myself moron,some people say that i am a ice cold person,a bastard,a legend,a king and my bff told me once that im an asshole.
I know no one that called me moron before,so that would be new for me.

Well, I'm glad I've read that again. I really thought your were generalizing. If it's just about you, well, I and many others don't care.

@Speaker of Many Others
Welp,it makes me happy when u dont care.

I play it on Game ranger almost every day, well if I find people. You see in Game ranger there are A LOT of rooms but they rarely extend over 5people (except for dota rooms). There are a lot of people playing thought, if someone knows another platform where people play please inform me
