Is Warcraft 3 Dead?

@neo - how can you remake a game you haven't played?

not yet but as an esports game it's definitely dying. Many pros retired and/or are trying their luck in sc2, hackers pretty much killed my will to play on bnet, orcs are annoying as hell, teamleagues are done, organizations are not interested in wc3 players anymore, same old maps, same old strategies, no newcomers, most tournaments are online. Well you can tell the current state of wc3 is not looking that good but as funplayer said, as long as the game remains competitive for 1 year or 2 i'm satisfied.

Well i have lots of videos about the game.

Basic Movements. Player Stats. and i have also some video game playthrough about the game. So i have lots of idea on how to make them.

But wc3 engine can't do 100% of dark souls game mechanics... just for inspiration..

In our place Warcraft III is totaly... 100% dead.. even 1 person don't play Warcraft anymore.. they play dota 2 and i am very sad..

It's not a remake then... it's more of an adaptation

Chewii!, its been long.

I have to say its pretty much dead, only a small amount of community survives, unless you play in Asia (China has a lot of players still.)

I don't know how I stumbled upon this depressing thread.
But for a fact, even Garena has plans to stop hosting servers for Warcraft III for the long term.

Good to see that you are still active.
