A major update to Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos will add clan support and many interface features created for The Frozen Throne expansion pack.

Blizzard has announced that many of the interface and Battle.net enhancements created for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne will soon be available to players of the original game. The 1.10 update will make several enhancements to the Warcraft III interface, adding a minimap view that shows creep locations, the ability to queue buildings, and the ability to put both units and upgrades in the same queue. The update also adds clan support and a range of other Battle.net features, such as a new "referee" observer type and new filtering options.

Rick Finkelstein, president and chief operating officer of Universal Pictures, said he did not expect this episode to significantly alter the studio's marketing procedures. "We are constantly evaluating our internal security measures, and we are always seeing areas where we can improve our security," he said. "This will have a significance, but we don't want to blow it out of proportion."

Gonzalez entered his guilty plea to United States Magistrate Judge Gabriel Gorenstein. He is scheduled to be sentenced September 26.

An insurance underwriter, Gonzalez told the judge that he knew what he was doing was wrong. Asked by reporters afterward whether he liked the movie, Gonzalez said: "I haven't even watched it."

Good for the Warcraft fans. The current version is 1.07. It looks like they are skipping 1.08 and 1.09. This also kind of looks bad when you have top patch a game right after it's released. After Blizzard pushing off the Diablo 2 1.10 patch for close to 2 years, I will never again buy another Blizzard title. Diablo 2 is their best selling games and they can't even support it. I don't have anythingk more to say.

Isn't the current version 1.06?

Yes it is. Not quite sure what that guy is talking about...

I think that he believes they are going to release a patch for WC3:Frozen Throne (the expansion pack) which comes out on the 1st. Rather, they are releasing a patch for WC3:Reign of Chaos (the original), which has been out for over a year.

v1.07 is the latest version of WarCraft III The Frozen Throne.

Actually they are simply backporting user interface enhancements made in Frozen Throne.

I was about to say the same exact thing...those changes have all been made in Frozen Throne. It's nice to see that Blizzard is maintaining their code that well that they can just backport stuff though.

He is right about the D2 patch though, it has been over a year and a half since the last patch, they need to update it desperately.

this is great for Warcraft III Classic players who don't wish to buy Frozen Throne yet... it doesn't matter to me coz i'm buying the expansion anyway

as for D2... ya... they promised on the patch a long time ago... but u should be happy that they still care about a 3 year old game though... not to mention that the patch adds quite a LOT of stuff, which is worth the wait though

I agree - Geez, it's not like we are continually paying Blizzard to update a 3 year old game.

Err..I am not sure do you guys know ... But I have read several articles / interviews saying that the guys in the Blizzard actually HATE Diablo 2 ..... Well, they don't hate the game itself. But the people playing it with bot/hack. So .... they just give it up ..... and promised would never make another game like Diablo ..... Blizzard still rules ......
#8.1 pHuzi0n on 28 Jun 2003 - 08:06
Considering that they keep deleting/banning huge ammounts of D2 accounts... I'd say YES, they hate having to write code to stop all the cheaters.
#8.2 antareus on 28 Jun 2003 - 16:47
I doubt they hate D2 itself.

They probably do hate the immature and selfish way the players play it: cheating/hacking in order to get better. The official SC ladder is ruined by WinBot hacks.

Great now I get to uninstall Frozen Throne Beta and reinstall W3.
