Hundreds of hours played in this. For me this is perfect combination of rpg and strategy elements so far. Game is just great, also the mods like tower defense gave birth to couple new genres of games. The Blizzard probably won't allow it because they forced people to install reforged which has absolutely hideous menu (pre rendered high def movies instead of actual 3d) and a creates new problems in classic version.

This game was one of the memories I've had with my cousins. Many good time together. Many screams of bloddy murder and custom games. You can get the one from Blizzard, but knowing that company and what they did to a virtual national treasure is something the is incredibly off putting for me to even attempt to consider purchasing their version of the game. Though the company is worse than a spectral evil that grew out of the earth, The OG Warcraft 3 be something I can purchase the moment GoG makes it available. Me, as well as others that feel nostalgic for the old, non-live service version of the game that doesn't need Blizzard's launcher will never let such a game die as a unrecognisable corpse.

This is one of the games of my childhood... And it gave me one of the most stupid stories about psychological therapy of my life, but that's another thing for another time. I finished the game the last year if i remember correctly, and it was a nice experience... Sadly Blizzard decided to retire this game from digital platforms and replace it with his remaster, a really wrong choice considering how it ended. So yeah, i think it's about time we get it back.

The OG Warcraft 3 experience is what we want preserved. It has no bad graphics, it has a style. It is enough for us who harbor nostalgia for the legacy edition, and I'd be glad to have it in my GOG library.

If I could vote this to the top of the list I would. The game itself is amazing but the custom map support and multiplayer spawned literal genres of full release games. This is one of the most iconic games from my youth and would be an instant hit with the friends I still game with today.

I spent so much time playing this game as a kid, either in the amazing campaign or at lan parties with friends. Warcraft 3 introduced us to a whole new universe, with fun factions, an interesting story, hero abilities and for me one of the best nature sound design. All the Warcraft games need to be in GOG.

In the realm of real-time strategy (RTS) games, few titles have had the cultural and industry-shaping impact of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos. Released by Blizzard Entertainment in 2002, Warcraft III didnā€™t just build upon the legacy of its predecessorsā€”it reshaped the genre, redefined expectations for storytelling in strategy games, and gave birth to entire new genres through its modding tools. Yet, in 2025, the classic version of this landmark title is difficultā€”if not impossibleā€”for most fans to access legally. The original version has been replaced by the controversial Warcraft III: Reforged, and the standalone classic is no longer officially available. This makes Warcraft III a perfect candidate for preservation on GOG.com, a platform known for treating gaming history with the care and respect it deserves. This essay will explore why this game matters, why its current digital unavailability is a problem, and why GOG is the best platform to host it going forward. A Genre-Defining RTS At its core, Warcraft III offered a revolutionary blend of traditional RTS mechanics and RPG elements. The introduction of hero units, which leveled up, gained items, and learned new abilities, created a unique experience that hadnā€™t been seen before in a real-time strategy game. The gameā€™s four playable factionsā€”Humans, Orcs, Night Elves, and the Undeadā€”each featured distinct mechanics, units, and lore that made them feel completely different from one another. What really made Warcraft III stand out, however, was its focus on narrative. The campaign mode was cinematic, emotionally engaging, and deeply immersive. Players followed the rise and fall of Prince Arthas Menethil, a noble paladin corrupted into the terrifying Death Knight, and witnessed the formation of alliances, betrayals, and epic battles that laid the groundwork for World of Warcraft.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
