Doing some nostalgia tonight.

"We never paid any heed to the Ancient Prophecies. Like fools, we clung to the old hatreds."

Warcraft III Collector's Edition Posters still hanging on my wall since launch day, and next few weeks of nothing to do got me thinking.

I miss the old days. I really ******* miss the old days.

Screenshots of Reign of Chaos playthrough below, can't remember if these are my OG shots from the month or two it launched or if it was one of the five or six replays of the campaigns, but enjoy some nostalgia.


For those of you that have never ascended to such glory, play it, play it now.

I can't believe these cinematics are almost 24 years old... 24 ******* YEARS AGO AND ITS STILL THE BEST **** TO THIS DAY


the female vocals at 9:25 until right when Arthas walks in my God on some good headphones, planar hopefully, you will transcend... **** THIS IS GOAT THE CINEMATICS THE MUSIC ITS ******* GLORIOUS MODS PLEASE LET ME CUSS YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS KIND OF GLORY!!!!!!!!!!!! my God those were the days, on launch week... so ahead of its time, hell it surpasses everything to this day still

I remember seeing this for the first time and the 2002 version of me went fucking wild. lmao

@Sithaer will you add it your sword collection someday?


I will never forgive Blizzard for taking away my original manual download link. My keys are still shown, but the manual download only makes you download the launcher, and its just a worse version than the original. Damnit all!!!! How many decades must I weep, for I will never know it in its TRUE FORM ever again?!

Good ol' times. But... I tried playing RoC a few years ago and honestly, I couldn't do it anymore. It didn't have the magic spark it used to. Kinda like how Starcraft 2 lost it over time, I think. Just been there done that. And its not like the campaign is great to replay time and time again, even though its great initially.

The real glory here was Bnet. Even just the chat was worth buying the game for lol.

I replay both WC3 and SC2 once every few years, and if anything I think they get better.

This is literally what "piracy" is for, not that I consider getting a game you own to work piracy...

Thank the gods I still have my copy of WCIII from high school, the "special south of the border" version that didnt need the CD to run, if you catch my drift. Came with sweet mouse drivers too!

Pure nostalgia this game is !
I replay both WC3
I have it on my to-do list. Got a CRT and i want to replay the vanilla Warcraft 3 campaigns on it. I remember playing it for the first time on a summer vacation, back when 3 months felt like a year, now the feel like three weeks :)
Anyway, i could have sworn it was back in 2000-2001, but after checking Wiki, the game came out in 2002, so i must have played it then or in 2003 :wtf: Probably my first ever game set in a fantasy realm, and i got hit hard by it. Stuff like Neverwinter Nights, LOTR, The Witcher, Dragon's Age, Warhammer all came after Warcraft III's universe.

I remember getting made fun of in school one day, when I was like 15 or something. Got super depressed cause well I was an idiot teenager then, threw away my collectors edition box of Reign of Chaos with the CD's in it cause I just felt so alone and I blamed games lol oh how the times have changed...

Oh younger me, if only I could go back and stop you. Luckily the posters were already on my wall and will remain there until the day I die, alongside my Sid Meir's Civilization III Collectors' Poster, which is still the best Civ imo.

If I still had my CD's I would just play it that way with usb disc drive to install them and input my original keys which are still on my Blizz online account.
