How the Warcraft 3 community is reforging the classic RTS

How the Warcraft 3 community is reforging the classic RTS

Warcraft 3: Reforged's players have been in limbo since its release back in January 2020. Promises of multiplayer fixes and features have gone largely unfulfilled in that time, with developer updates halting in August 2020 and the original Reforged team being dismantled around the same time. It seems unlikely that Warcraft 3's multiplayer community will ever get the game they hoped Reforged would be.

Devoted players of the classic RTS weren’t fond of the revival, which fell short of the version promised at BlizzCon in November 2018. The massively improved cinematic cutscenes were quietly done away with on the lead up to launch, leading to widespread backlash. But Reforged also retroactively removed features from the original game when Blizzard merged the two clients. This included player profiles, match history, ranked ladders for all five multiplayer modes, automated tournaments, clan support, and offline play.

But a group of passionate fans is taking it upon themselves to revitalize the RTS game's competitive scene by building their own ranked ladder that's hosting thousands of matches every day.
