*Update* HOW TO: Play Warcraft 3 Over the Net sans Battle.net

Posted by dandriff on Friday November 17, 2006@10:46AM

I have found a few more good resources for playing Warcraft III sans battle.net (I'm interested in setting up private games between my younger brother and I). I have also decided to host a few of the files and other warcraft-related utilities on the off chance that there are other people interested in doing this! (and also because they're relatively small so why not? ;)
