I haven't even payed any attention to all the add-ons they have been doing. I have had trouble playing WC3 for months. I would get 3-5 minutes into a game and it would crash, claiming that the game wrote into somebody else's memory and had to be terminated. Turns out that this problem, along with a lot of other annoying seemingly random problems, were all due to my computer drastically overheating. When I built it, I used the stock CPU cooler. This ran a little hot, but seemed to work fine. Well, over the months it became completely clogged with dust, and as a result the CPU would heat up to 70 C and turn itself off. That's a nice built in saftey feature to prevent chip burnination, but I had no clue this was happening. Anyway, now I bought a new CPU cooler (a Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu), installed it, and it runs beautifully. It's very quiet and my CPU now runs at 45 C. The motherboard is down to 27. Both are lower than ever before.
Anyway, all this to say that now I finished the Human campaign and am halfway through the Undead. I hate playing as them, but the sooner I finish the sooner I can get to the Night Elves! So it's cool to see that when I someday finish all the great stuff in WC3, and Frozen Throne, there will still be more to enjoy. If I get that far before WoW takes over...
