These forums are now easily accessible and noticeable to the public eye thanks to Ralle - So we'll tidy up all the - for lack of a better word - 'crap' and start posting some worthwhile material in the days to come.

This..."mod"...is it really Warcraft III?...

 

[HFR]

No, it uses the Starcraft II engine.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

It continues the story of Warcraft III (unofficially) in the Starcraft II engine.

It continues the story of Warcraft III (unofficially) in the Starcraft II engine.

I assume you ignore all WoW crap right?

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Select bits and pieces from WoW will be present, characters, factions or events but yes for the most part it is a separate storyline.

 

[Razosh]

So this will not follow the WarCraft lore?

 

[Grey Nightmare]

It will follow on from whwre Warcraft III The Frozen Throne left off.

 

[Razosh]

Will you use WarCraft characters like Alexstrasza, Tyrande, Jaina or Malygos?

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Both Old and New characters will be making an appearance

 

[Razosh]

Nice to hear, I really hope you'll finish the story of Alleria Windrunner since Blizzard never did.

 

[Whitewolf8]

Or the rest of the WCII people just the same.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Whilst I will admit WCII chars/story-ties have crossed our mind, I shan't comment on specifics just yet!

 

[Whitewolf8]

Well, either way, you've my support on this. This may be the thing to get me to play SC2, hehehe.

 

[Razosh]

Well I think it would be intresting to see Turalyon since he got some fun family members now when he and Alleria is togheter. Who dont like one of the greatest paladins of all time that has the queen of the dead as his sister in law. And to not mention that most human paladins see mages as cursed souls and now that Veréesa Windrunner is married to the leader of the Kirin Tor he would have some family bussines to intend to.

Alexstraza Tyrande and Jaina all existed in WC3 so why wouldn't they?

Only Malygos was never mentioned in WC3, and was killed off in WoW.

 

[Razosh]

WRONG, he was mentioned by Saphiron in when Arthas went to Northrend to save Ner'Zhul.

 

[Teelo]

True, forgot about that. Ysera was mentioned by Tyrande, were Neltharion or Nozdormu ever mentioned?

 

[Razosh]

Malygos was mentioned by Saphiron, Alexstrasza and Ysera was mentioned by Tyrande, Neltharion was a main character of WarCraft 2 and was mentioned in WarCraft 3 by Malfurion when black dragons had infiltrated the cave where the druids of the claw rested and as for Nozdormu he was not mentioned as far as I know until WoW.

 

[Teelo]

As far as I recall from having read about 50% of the warcraft lore books, Nozdormu was first mentioned in Day of the Dragon, by refusing to help Korialstraz. So he would have been essentially "written in" to the WC2 lore post-game.

 

[Razosh]

Well if we should count that theory every aspect was mentioned in WC2 because believe it or not I've also read Day of the Dragon and I know that all of them were mentioned more then once in that book also all the aspects were mentioned in War of The Ancient trilogy and that was 10 000 years before WarCraft.

 

[Teelo]

War of the ancients was more of a WoW book, and good lord knaak is an annoying author.

 

[Razosh]

You should probebly explain beter because you make it sound like you think that the book is more like an MMORPG book and besides how can it be more of a WoW book then a WarCraft book when WoW is a part of WarCraft?

And do you really think Knaak is annoying I think that his work is brilliant specially the way he makes stronger characters like Veréesa Windrunner and I really loved how he made Rhonin ally with the raptors in Night of the Dragon.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

To be brutally honest, lore isn't our primary concern. It's a big one but we'd really like to have the basics of the game nailed down and dished out before we start designing/leaking and asking for feedback and input on the lore

 

[Razosh]

Ok hope to see something soon.

 

[MogulKahn]

When we can expect this to be finished ?

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Your guess is as good as mine, this is a very ambitious undertaking and with Starcraft II far from what I'd deem a modding prime time, help is hard to come by.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Quick update on a side-project by one of our team.
It's a model library which was built with WCAND in mind, but has become a project in its own right. More details and download links below!

[Amargaard]

Looks interesting, subscribing

 

[Codric]

hmm me 2 but I find a problem to me lore is everything in the game the game may be crappy but to make a game good you need to nail all the specifics of those characters anyway just my thought.
