Warcraft III: Frozen Thrones Downloads
How to get in Warcraft III: Frozen Thrones Beta, if you weren't one of the chosen ones.
Ok well to get started... Blizzard had given all chosen beta testers a cd-key by email, and a link to download the Warcraft III expansion. To get on battle.net you need a seperate cd-key for each person on, wich you don't have.
So what we are doing is giving everyone the link to download the expansion and what's going on is that someone else is going to host a server for everyone to play on. The server is called Warforge. It is completly differen't from battle.net,
it's a whole other server which everyone will be playing under the same cd-key because they wont check it. As time go by they will have most features battle.net has. Out of the 100,000 people who signed up for the Warcraft III: Frozen Throne Beta Test only 10,000 made it.
The 90,000 left, maybe more, want to get in and most of them will join Warforge. So I'm assuming that Warforge will be bigger than battle.net:) I will post all the new patches here and repair any broken link so keep in touch! Note you must download each patch, you can't just
download the last one, you need to download the v300 then v301 and so on. Well that was a brief explanation on what was going on, now lets start the real work!
