You can also check out Internet Archive for a download as well. You can install any of them, even cracked ones or legitimate CD copies you still own. There are a bunch of ways to get it, whether it be direct download, torrenting, etc. I won’t link any downloads, however its not hard to find (just google warcraft 3 download).

Reforged is a forced downgrade for classic usersįind a download of Warcraft 3. If you want a comprehensive list of things removed in Reforged, take a look at this guy’s post. If you refund the game, you lose access to the Warcraft you initially purchased as Reforged is the only client.Animation Variety / Quality is Very Disappointing Lazy animation work on Blizzards part results in missing animations for certain units.The main menu is a web app running on chrome which runs worse than the actual game.(Dryad’s “I’m so wasted”) Not too sure what else has been taken out. Some voice lines have been taken out of the game.I believe you need to be “online” to play offline. ?No LAN functionality? Correct me if I’m wrong, but there is no LAN menu in the Reforged Client.IP of your maps belong to Blizzard and there is now a report function, making me believe censorship will be rampant.

No copyright material, custom models are allowed (anime games, basically any games with custom models) as well as maps deemed inappropriate by Blizzard.

World Editor and Custom games have been effectively gimped.

If you account is banned, you lose access to the keys.

Your CD-Key is now linked to your account, meaning it cannot be reused or shared.

Forcing the Reforged client on us (some of which are still having issues playing) even though we didn’t pay for it or don’t want it is tyrannical.

Many of us were playing Wc3 fine for decades without issue.

(Note: this guide is not for playing on battlenet, only LAN.)īefore I get into it, for those who do not understand the motivation for wanting to play on the old Wc3 Client, I will do my best to convey my arguments and feelings below. In this post I will explain how to download and setup the classic Warcraft 3 client so you can all revert and play with your friends again as well as some options for playing LAN over the internet. Hello and salutations! Due to some oversight on Blizzards part, it now falls upon the end user to fix their mistakes!
