Warcraft 3 is great, loved the story campaign and it's one of only a few RTS campaign modes I actually completed but yeah the custom maps were amazing. I'd say the game has the greatest map editor ever released with a game. You could basically make anything. I played a whole lot of maze defense maps back then. Never replayed Reforged, but heard you couldn't play the original on Battle.net anymore. Is that still the case or have they gone back on that?

Well the unfortunate thing about Reforged is that they basically built in on top of the original which in theory was nice because it allowed people to play together across versions and didn't leave the original game behind, but in reality in means that when they screwed up Reforged they screwed up both versions in terms of menus, bugs etc. (though the majority of bugs have been fixed now so in-game things work fine). But yeah if you have the original on a Battle.net account you can still download it from the Battle.net website and play it, have several friends who have done that (though the download is fairly huge since it's actually Reforged you're downloading, you just don't have access to the new graphics).

Mmm sounds like a mess. A shame, Blizzard used to be one of the best.
