Warcraft3 Race Yanked
by Steve Gibson, Feb 14, 2001 3:35am PSTThe War3.com guys got a quote from Blizzard on them yanking one of the races from the lineup for the game. (Now NPC's). "It really boiled down to we felt that we could make a better game with them as a powerful NPC race then if they were a playable multi-player race. The loss of any part of the design pains me, but sometimes you have to leave features on the cutting room floor :(" Thanks Stomped

"We had to yank the netcode, it was getting too strung out. We'll concentrate on the single player experience though, and make a game like no other you've seen!"
