New Warcraft 3 Site

May 23, 2001 7:53am CST tags: Blizzard, Warcraft 3
Blizzard has made a pretty big update to the Warcraft3 website, redesigning it and including new information and screenshots (in wide screen format even). Mostly just stuff that was seen at E3 I am guessing. We glanced at Warcraft3 while at E3... looked uh.. a lot like last year. Ship it!
Meanwhile WarcraftIII.net has the final part of a big Q&A with the Blizzard guys asking all about this RTS. This 3rd part focuses on gameplay, tech and misc elements of the game.

- Anything new on seasonal and day/night effects on races?
This is still very much a work in progress. Yes, the Night Elves and the Undead have advantages at night. Do the Humans and Orcs have a proportional advantage during the day? Or do the Night Elves and Undead suffer a balancing "penalty" during daytime? "We're not sure yet how that's all going to work," say the Team members, "but we're going to make sure it's fair and balanced."

- Has Blizzard made plans to include the canceled sixth race in the Warcraft III expansion?
Surprisingly enough, we didn't get a brush off on this one, like "Who says there is an expansion?" But we also didn't get a "yes" or "no." What we got was an interesting, "We have had so many races developed for this game, we could do a bunch more and still not run out." Before you capture that as a "confirmation" of an expansion pack, though, it really is not. Quite. :-)
