$75 US. I think the normal game runs $55-60 US, still a lot though.

No. I think there were 4 limited edition covers, and the people who preordered could pick. But the collector's edition is sold to regular customers, just gotta find one.

It costs €80 here. Not sure if I'll get it... perhaps the normal version one day... although the collector's edition looks super cool. :)

Is there a demo??

Umm... Warcraft 3. That way we can play as a clan. If you plan to play online, Warcraft 3 will last you a lot longer than ED. Might as well get started while it's still new.

ok... sounds good... i dunno when i'll get a chance to get it tho :(... I hate living in a town :mad: where u have to buy your games in a city a hour and a half away :mad:

I'd really like to get the game, but I'm not sure how much I can play it when my dad needs his PC for his work. :( I'm going into town tonight... who knows...

Angrist
07-04-2002, 06:33 PM
Blast. I (we) decided to get the game, so we went into town. But.... we couldn't find it anywhere! :( So I guess it'll take a while before it's released here... :unsure: So now I'm DLing some illegal version to keep us busy until it finally arives.

lol, I just played WarCraft 1! It's terrible!! You can't just right-click on the ground to send the selected unit there, you gotta click 'move' first!! Same with attack and everything else! Conclusion: I'm not going to play WC1!! :D

If ur asking if it's a RTS like starcraft or made by blizzard like starcraft than yes. But Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos is about a million times better! the whole world is 3D!! its really cool, and you got 4 races. U harvest resources, build your villages and armys to concour your enimies like starcraft, just a diff story and world all together and more units and specials, and you can even build up hero units levels and they get new and better specials as they get higher lvls. and did i mention? its 3D!!!
