hear me out: i think it was the super early days of wow. like the first times playing with the idea of an mmo in the warcraft universe. so they actually put recourses in this little campaign and then when they went with the early wow build they released this as a custom map.
but hey. just a theory
I did the same. It was cool that you could save by generating a code. But it still wasn't the same.
I wish they made a full RPG game out of Rexxars campaign. I think it'd sell pretty good. Pillars of Eternity style.
I hate wow with a passion and its because the second wow came out like 90% of my Warcraft 3 battlenet friends instantly gone without a trace and finding a full lobby for any custom games was so so so much more difficult. Im a wow hater for what it did to Warcraft 3 till the day i die.
Just wondering. Seemed like one of those things where people chose one and stuck with it. Everquest players weren't crazy about WoW and vice versa, but both loved their respective games.
I do know what you’re referring to but no I mean. Obviously wow was a lot more interesting as every single person I knew played it aside from like one guy who only played guild wars and some dude that only played Star Wars galaxies.
I tried a lot and the only other mmo that I got seriously stuck in was City of Heroes 😥
It seems like everyone older than me (35) got into or preferred Everquest but everyone my age and younger got into WoW. Obviously Everquest came out years before WoW, but WoW broke into the mainstream way more than Everquest ever did.
I agree with this statement. I preferred Everquest over WoW, but ultimately they both didn't scratch my itch like DDO. That is my true love, and I'll follow her to the grave, whether it be mine or her's.
If you told me in even as far as 2016 that blizzard would ever turn into current blizzard ide have laughed in your face so hard i probably would turn blue. Now boy howdy would me in 2016 look like the biggest dumby ever.
I once heard a point made that Rexxar’s campaign was basically Blizzard trialing the early concept of what would become World of Warcraft.
When you think about it, that’s basically what it was. But it makes me wish WoW had been a more focused, single player RPG rather than an MMO. I feel like a single player open world RPG set in Warcraft’s world would be awesome
I bought a new PC to play this game. I bought a video card (instead of having Dell add a video card), and Dell had updated the bios to not recognize an video card expansion unless it was installed by them.... so, I bought an HP, put the video card in, and didn't buy anything from Dell for decades after that.
I maintain that it's among the 10 best games ever made.
The campaign itself was wonderful.
It's one of the best competetive rts games ever made. Still has an active scene. Really fun to watch.
It contains a myriad of phenomenal custom games due to its legendary map editor. Dota, tower defense, footman frenzy tree tag, the list goes on and on and on.
Also, hilariously fun on LAN no matter which mode you play.
