Hello my dear WC3 Community:

Today IS the day, 28/01/2020 is the day when Warcraft 3 starts a new era: we're now in Reforged mode!!!

If you haven't bought Reforged... what are you waiting for??

After a long time been in beta mode, and taking more time then promised, we have this new awaited version with a huge hype for testing the old and well remembered WC3 campaign, with new cinematics (hopefully), new interface, new model style and much more to get impressed (we hope so)...

(Psst... probably you can notice I haven't finished downloading the game)

What's the new stuff? let me show you:
