So, do I technically need to own a license?
No, it's the officially distributed Warcraft 3 installer as of 2012 until 2017, the code of the executables has not been altered. Is this some kind of repack or homebrew software? I have made this thread so everyone can play any desired map without fear about compatibility issues, nothing more nothing else. Many custom games have been broken by the newest patches, some of them will take weeks to be fixed and others will never be since their makers left Hive long ago. I've been exploring the catacombs of an old HDD and I've just found what happens to be one of the first Warcraft 3 digitally distributed installers, so what better time to share it than now? Hope you find it useful! Wait, why should I download a prehistoric version of the game?
Unfortunately, Blizzard does no longer distribute old versions of the game through, consequently the current installer app automatically patches the game while setting it up.
This year is being a very special one since Blizzard has shown renewed interest for the Warcraft 3 community, making up new game updates as well as giving continuous support for both the core game and the editor.
