Well, WOW isn't mod-able, but the game itself is designed to contain several hundreds of ways to achieve success, lots of different locations ... And i like the "Raid" idea (large player groups gather and attack enemy towns) ...

THis site will most likely slowly die down once World of warcraft starts
Just Like Starcraft did

It would be alot better if you incorperated the two instead of making a whole new site

I don't think you'll be able to do two sites at once (three when including DotF)

Theres also not much to talk about in world of warcraft besides weapons and strategies

It will cost to much for me to play online wow so I don't buy it: http://www.blizzard.com/support/wowbilling/?id=abl01025p

I think that free online play would more than double the number of games sold. But still Blizzard will earn more money by making these monthly payments.

Wrong, You can talk about creating groups, guilds, making the members of groub Veterans (ranking) item trade and a loot of more... and yes I think it would be good to create a WOW site.

You would have a lot of competition with thotbot because everyone knows about thot and used it in Beta and will be useing it in GOLD. www.thottbot.com

i say no cuz den u wont b able to work on this one as much
#22
I'm afraid I will have to go with no on this one for a number of reasons.

First of all, there already is a lot of WoW sites that are succesful. I see no point in having another.

As Panto said, WoW is not moddable. There isn't too much you can do with the site.

And finaly, as many people have said, if you were to start another site your attention on this site will drop. That's not good.

Then the options are next:

1.don't create it.
2. create it but make someone else the administrator of the site.
#24
I think, instead, you should just have a WoW section of the normal site. Really, the only modable part is the UI. And you dont need a whole new site to create forums for it.

Hey Darky

Hmm. I used to play BF1942 a lot, and i was on the www.bf1942files.com all the time. Then when BFV came, they created a site called www.bfvfiles.com. I guess this is a very similar thing. I still havent figured out how much you can "edit" WoW. Is it as much as Frozen Throne?

I think that if you want to cover WoW too, then do it on this site. Maybe do it like the "Switch to Wc3C Style"-button. Have a button called WoW. That way it wont feel like it is too far away.

How similar will models/icons/skins be? If they are very similar and thus you can use models for both games, then i really think you should do as i wrote above. If not .. uh .. i dont know :?

I would have to say no as well. WoW is still warcraft related and could be discussed here, a warcraft site. Its not like it needs its own file archives since the game is not moddable (no skin, models, ect to submit). And the last thing you need is ever more stuff to take your attention away from wc3sear.ch, which already hardly ever sees you anymore. :cry:

But what you guys don't relize is that once WOW comes out for retail....the amount of people doing modding and map design on WC3 will drop significantly......this site will eventually die out. So yes....I would like to see Darky create a WOW site. :D
#28
Hmm... Darky wants to keep his sites up-to-date with new game releases (WoW). A good idea for ensuring player interest, but there are some problems. As now, wc3sear.ch is a site that supports a creative modding community by providing a database of modding tools, graphics, etc. It provides gamers with maps. There is little need for such functions in WoW, because you cannot create your own games. WoW sites are most likely much more strategy article oriented, with some technical mechanics stuff.

I think you should stay where your roots are. If you want to expand to WoW, do it from the modding community perspective. Perhaps you could combine both WC3 and WoW, as the latter cannot be modded.

- A database for WoW graphics and sounds usable in WC3?
- Discussion about using WoW developments in WC3?
- Discussion about how to customize WC3 to look like WoW?

I dont like the idea. WoW is not a game where you can create maps and stuff like that. I dont even think I will buy it (at least not when it is newly released).

Also you would give less time for this page if you create it.

Better add some new functions like when you upload a map you could automatically attach a comment (the descriptions are very short). You could also add some kind of top list with the most popular maps to download.

Sorry this may be a bit off-topic but what I mean is that you should improve this site instead of making a new.

This is gonna be a no from me...
WoW is not what Warcraft III is, and never will be...
It is a massive online RPG,
War3 is a strategic game, not an RPG...
We are War3 fans that love this site,
Do not abandon it for some game that charges 16.95$ per month.
