Where's the population?!

[Googlieeyes]

So lately I feel like no ones actually playing on battle.net. So where is everyone playing at?

 

[Super-Sheep]

Europe but I am playing mainly Dota-league that is restricted to private games so the games wont show up in the custom game list.

And some people are playing @Garena but the loss of people might also be cause wc3 is getting a bit old.

You still find ladder games pretty quickly if you queue up to random 1on1 so its not that dead really.

 

[Orcnet]

more in asia

but I don't know the rest

 

[GhostThruster]

Add Garena option if you can.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

To me, there are many players in Battle.Net, and the number has been recently increasing too, so don't worry, it's very highly populated on every server

There are several other servers too (I usually get on Battle.Net though, I find it the best option):
Ranked Gaming Client
Bored Aussies
Garena
Hamachi
Other Small Servers

But yeah, the most 'legal' and best place to be for me would be Battle.Net, so rest assured Warcraft III is still very much populated.

 

[Skycraft]

I rarely open Warcraft 3.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Although, you can find me on US West most of the time, but I'll just choose the rest of the options since I do play on those servers a lot too.

Whenever I play (I rarely do), I'll play on Northrend / Europe, or Azeroth / USEast.

i am on US west when i play

Azeroth [US East]. I'm noticing fewer people each time I log on. Not just in the games, but also on the entry screen telling you how many people are online playing WC3:TFT vs. other BNet games. I assume the players have moved to SC2, died, or are as good as dead.

That's how I feel about it. Is sc2 really worth the money for the map making portion of it?

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Depends really, if you're actually serious about game making I'd suggest working with a legitimate standalone engine, with all the legalities surrounding Sc2 they've made sure that there can never be another Dota case (game turning from wc3 to standalone while the creator gets the actual credit for the game).

 

[Adiktuz]

but if you just want to make maps, SC2 would be worth the money...

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Well note game making
Sc2's quite powerful (almost too powerful for some people) for someone who'd like a fairly simple portal into game creation, but if you plan on ever taking your idea to another level it's probably best to skip (but really, if you were that serious you'd most likely already been learning to tools of the trade anyway).

 

[SA Dashie]

I play in Asian forums but dont play very often anymore . Also it sucks my note pad is below the requirements for Sc2 and can't even install it(what a dilemma).

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Don't you mean your notebook?
Anyways, whether it's map making or game making, as long as one is committed to it, I'm sure the map'll turn out great
Oh, and the good news for the day is that Warcraft III's population just increased.

 

[Ironside]

When I play I host via GHost, which is linked with the battle net username GHH.
