Tester for private server wc3 1.26a

[Wlizer]

Please have legal version of wc3 1.26a and come test my pvpgn battle net server.
(I am not 100% sure if its legal but its only way to play the classic game I love..)

You can download game from here and then patch to 1.26a.. only this version!!
ladder + custom awailable, account creation and leveling need also test!

Warcraft 3 Legacy Installer (1.21b - 1.27a)

Hi people, This year is being a very special one since Blizzard has shown renewed interest for the Warcraft 3 community, making up new game updates as well as giving continuous support for both the core game and the editor. Unfortunately, Blizzard does no longer distribute old versions of the...

when this is done and if youre unsure of how to connect private server ask more help on this thread

edit. I am not recruiting anyone, I did not originally put this thread into map recruitment but it was moved by moderator.

I'm sure there are other 1.26a servers available. It doesn't help to fragment the community any further in my opinion

As far as I know there arent many 1.26a servers that are warcraft III only. Maybe just one.. I think I have pretty good ping, and my server is focused on ladder instead of custom games. But do as you wish. Im not going to touch the thing you call reforged after everybody called me retard and after bad balance + mmr lose bugs and such.. I only like to play 1.26a now

Blizzard had deprecated the official Battle.net server for Warcraft III in favour of Reforged:

There's no official way to go back to non-Reforged WC3 for playing online with PVPGN servers.
Nowadays, playing the Reforged requires an official Battletag.

I have read now End User License and it says something like this:
"
(v) host or provide matchmaking services for the Program or emulate or redirect the communication protocols used
by the Licensor in the network feature of the Program, through protocol emulation, tunnelling, modifying or adding
components to the Program, use of a utility program or any other techniques now known or hereafter developed,
for any purpose including, but not limited to network play over the Internet, network play utilising commercial
or non-commercial gaming networks or as part of content aggregation networks without the Licensor prior written
consent.
"
So I suppose I am not allowed to host battle net emulation even for the older versions.. I dont understand thought how W3Champions
can do the same? Did they get explict permission from blizzard to do so?

 

[Luashine]

W3Champions only changes the in-game web UI, all games are hosted by Blizzard's Battlenet still. Afaik the lobbies are created as hidden, the matchmaking is done by the scripts that run the web UI.

 

[Wlizer]

Exactly, that would excplict the rules like
"modifying or adding components to the Program"
and
"redirect the communication protocols used by the Licensor in the network"

 

[Luashine]

It does not give them much reason to take W3C down. It's not used for cheating, nor stealing players from official server (technically they dont participate in official matchmaking though), nor allowing to play without a CD-Key (license).

 

[Wlizer]

How annoying can a person be.. Well fine I am allowed to break TOS too because they are doing so.

I want to say it now unnicely, can you just f***ck off.. I dont care ur thoughts

all games are hosted by Blizzard's Battlenet still

Is this true? Just a random passerby wondering the truth, here. I thought I read somewhere that WC3Champions dropped support for Battlenet in favor of their own servers because of how it drastically improved their gameplay ping and performance and stuff. I might have misread.

@Vendro the Wind Mage Yes looks like my info is out of date by at least a year Incidentally after writing my post above, I read something to this degree on Hive's Discord. Pretty cool.
