Warcraft III's New Expansion Pack (PC) (6/18/03)
According to Blizzard spokesperson for their "Warcraft" series there will be a new upcoming expansion pack for Warcraft III. Due on June 1st, "Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne" Is due to be a hit to most role-players. The Frozen Throne will have bug fixes for Warcraft III (can you say "multiplayer"?) and will have a new hero for each of the races. Although the names of these heros and their physical descriptions havent been released yet, their stats and special abilitys are meant to balance out each of the races imbalances. For example, you know how the Night Elves were huge projectile people, but not very skilled in close combat? Well That has now changed, thanks to their hero who is extremely sucky with a bow, but one of the best fighters in the game for close combat. Aside from the new heros there will also be a new story line (duh!). Several months have passed since Archimonde and the Burning Legion were defeated at the battle of Mount Hyjal, yet a new threat has arisen throughout the land. The evil Lich King Ner'zhul has been imprisoned inside the Icecrown glacier, deep within the arctic continent of Northrend. Although the former Orc Shaman lacks physical form, his soul lives on, forever seeking a means to escape his icy prison. As the saga continues, it is revealed that both the Night Elf renegade, Illidan, and the traitorous Death Knight, Arthas, seek the Icecrown glacier and the mysterious powers found inside. To save all of Azeroth from the forces of darkness, the players must traverse uncharted lands and battle treacherous new enemies while uncovering the schemes of these nefarious beings.
The game includes:
-4 single-player campaigns
-4 new race-specific Heroes
-2 new units per race
-3 new tilesets
-Player-built shops
-5 neutral Heroes
-New neutral buildings
-Expanded multiplayer options over Battle.net®
-Numerous new multiplayer maps
& -An enhanced world editor
It looks like this game is gonna be a whopper for the PC world. It also looks like Blizzard out-did themselves this time. and... well... thats about it. Over and out.

(Editors' Notes: "WHAT IS THIS CRAP?!?!?! I never really enjoyed Warcraft III anyway! they're having a major idea overload if you ask me.
~Captain Obvious
But we diddnt ask you!
~Mavava Monster
Oh shut up!
~Captain Obvious
I actually happen to like the game. It has lost of action, and it has an RPG factor in it.
~Pac-Master
But seriously look at that list! Its longer than "Star Wars: Galaxies 'Big List Of Delays'"! And that things, like, 20-pages!
~Captain Obvious
I actually agree with you there!... whoa... that was weird...
~Mavava Monster
Yeah thats a first!
~Pac-Master
I mean COME ON! First it was "Reign of Chaos" with the Burning Legion. Now theres "The Frozen Throne"! Theres fire, now ice, whats next "Warcraft IV: Forest of Big Green Things"?!?!?!
~Mavava Monster
Yeah and it will have a new race called the "Banana People" who instead of using magic or mechanics, they enslave monkeys to do their bidding!
~Pac-Master
They would also fight with zucchini guns, and coconut bombs, and... um... well... yeah.
~Captain Obvious
That was stupid.
~Mavava Monster
No duh.
~Capotain Obvious
