Nothing has happened in 20+ years, I came to the game at the age of 13, and it lived. Online practically does not change here, everyone is ours. But I also came up with a system to simplify the adaptation of beginners. The stars must coincide here. A large number of new players must enter the server, because there is no one to play with. There are always high-level players online, as well as average ones, but beginners leave because they are not ready to endure what I endured when I got here. You are banned, you are called names, but I was interested in becoming strong and defeating everyone, because their words mean nothing after your victory. Beginners have to play either with average players, or not play at all, since it is almost impossible to enter at the same time with a player of the same level, they do not exist here. Masters and GrandMasters ban them and this is naturally correct. According to their concepts, beginners understand this too. And they leave. So, considering the overall online growth of the game, it is necessary to adapt the resource to new people, which is what I have just started doing.
As for Warcraft 3, I have not played this crap. I am not interested in such things. The game is frankly bad. Warcraft 2 is legendary. Nothing compares to it.
