Hmmm. I don't remember quite well. I remember someone pointing me to download a map here. But, in fact, this was the first site i had registed. I was just gathering information about dota (watching the discussions of kokujo and nantuko too -.-). Then the first time i posted was... in the topic of Vexorian "I'm getting tired of this". Then i wanted to reply but... lol? The comment wasn't there. Only after some time i realized that Post Reply was actually a way of commenting in the forums lol. I was quite a newbie. I just downloaded some crap but then i visited the forums. I already had some wc3 knowledge, so i decided to help some peeps in the forums, but i learned many things; thanks to all this people. But i was still a newbie. I was applying the skin on the icon lol <.<. Only then i realized how to work with it. Pity that skins replace the original textures, it would be cool if we could use different skins but still use the original models. Anyway, i'm happy with this site, through I know it could be much better Darky's soul wasn't consumed by WoW. I hate WoW because i lost almost all my friends.... my best friend isn't online for 1 year, but i still didn't remove him from friends. I still hope he comes back and stays permanently some day, like you all hope Darky comes back some.... day...

Just happened to be while looking around for some nice maps to play, I came upon the Spider Queen. Then hearing about his sequel Return of the Dragons, I came to his inactive site and watched the news. And guess what? I had this site on the news forums. Of course I could've been among the first to register, but meh I didn't feel like it.

U.Vhow did get to know about wc3search?
it was written in the loading of first map of the first Nature's Call campaign - how else???? :D


What do you mean "how else????" :?


if you cant understand the meaning behind that sentence, that's too bad, seeing as i have to go and work soon, thus i have no time (nor the will) to explian it.

think of this sentense as a compliment for Darky, rather than a very serious sentense.

Well I thought Darky wasn't too skilled at campaign making, since i wasn't much impressed with The Spiderqueen, but i admit i was wrong after looking at Return of the Dragons. Really, the only two buggs i found was the board of the invasion on Map 8 (The nerubian empire) and the ice shard and tree seeds have the same description (ice shard bugged). That's why i wanted to talk to Darky himself but... you know... :S

I played some map at Battele.net (think it was by Panto, a really cool map BTW) and inside it was the wc3c url. I checked it, but the only thing interesting was the "files" link which lead me here. The only thing I cared about in the start was models, but later I saw the spells section and I though: "WOW, can me make new spells? Do we need a program or what? Anyway, I'll download some now". And then I learned spell making, and later JASS myself.

I registered at the end of march (to submit my first JASS spells) but actually I've been a "ghost" user long time before that.

Very interesting topic... I remember I was looking for warcraft3 addons. I walked to campaign creations and downloaded few models and spells by Darky26 :). I looked for more models and found wc3sear.ch. From wc3sear.ch i found wc3campaigns... I downloaded few spells by Daelin [i don't remember the name]. I thought "WOW... i want to make spells". I tried to make gui triggered spells but i didn't quite understood them. I read Daelin's JASS tutorial to learn JASS syntax. The rest was easy, function names taken from Kattana's JASS Editor. And now i'm making spells and working on Blender3d mdl exporter :O...

It all started back in WoW beta...

I was checkin through the forums, and i found a thread called "Awesome Video" I watched it, and then explored the site it was on.... i can quite remeber what it was called....

Anyway, someone was workin on a campaign there, and they posted a link of a modle they wanted edited, I checked it out, and it was on this website :).

No! This site has been popular for long, at the moment it's loosing it's popularity greatly, because the ocean of bugs it has, for having no active admin, and for being pretty slow.

No offence, but I would say that this site was great, but it's constantly falling, that's what happens with sites without admins.

How I heard about this site, hmmm I was searching on google for a place to upload my first map Maze Of Evil because I heard from another guy that there was this great upload site but he forgot name of it. First I found worldofwar which I quickly got bored of, then next one was this. :)

I first heard about this site in May of '04 but I didn't feel like joining for some bizzare reason. I ended up joining maps.worldofwar.net in June of '04, awful site which I left really quickly. In July I joined WarCraft 3 Mod Forge but when it went down in September of '04 I needed new places to go. I wandered into wc3c at that time, in november for some reason I joined a lot of differant forums, this being one of them.

I love how these threads always end up with lurkers typing far more characters than the total of characters they submitted to the site before that post
