What version do you play?

[ProlRayder]

With the massive amount of maps that exist today in warcraft, not always having the latest version of the game is the most fun for those who don't always play the normal rts mode. This form can be very useful for map makers.

So the question arose, which version do you play?

More than one vote should be allowed imho.

Also for the record, there exists a difference between 'play' and 'run'. Maybe you will want to disambiguate it?

Most Chinese play 1.24, 1.26 or 1.27(custom map)

Yea now I'm curious actually, what counts as playing? This will affect my vote

Glad you asked.

The difference lies in the fact that one can also use the game to watch replays, for example.
By having only three 'Base Versions' of the game which can each be downgraded up to a point, one can watch (almost?) any replay he/she wants.

Watching replays is like watching games on Twitch, but with some level of interaction added. Therefore, one is not passive while watching them. Hence why that way one is running the game, and yet one is not playing it stricto sensu.

"More than one vote should be allowed imho" does not mean that votes have to be arbitrarily limited to two at best.

Interestingly, nobody is running / playing v1.29.x so far

Also, as a reminder:

Which Patch(es) are people Primarily Modding On?

(Not sure this is the right place; move it if need be) Without diving into the drama of things, I think we can all recognize that the release of the Reforged Patch (& to some degree, the various issues with Patches before, in the Modern Patch Cycle) has resulted in a community which is somewhat...

Does that mean there are (used to be?) more modders in 2020 than there are players in 2021?
