Hidden Treasures of The Frozen Throne

In my recent journey through the history of Warcraft 3, I mostly paid attention to main chuck of the game and its development. However, as you're probably aware, that's not all this game and its expansion have to offer. There're a plethora of community content made by talented (and not so) people. From many maps that deviate from actual gameplay of Warcraft 3 and became popular choice amongst "Custom Games" to full on Custom Campaigns and even Total Conversions with the release of The Frozen Throne! This time around, I would like to talk about the latter and there are many good reasons for that.

Back in "True Tragedy of Warcraft 3: Reforged", I was straight forward regarding my view on a couple of current community projects that relay on its disastrous art style. While I admire and wish all the best for everyone involved, it doesn't change the fact that all these people waste their talent and passion on flawed content that's never going to work. In order to fix the mistakes made by public and media, I want to highlight a few works of the past in order to showcase what Warcraft 3 actually has to offer. This will be a surface level preview, however: I encourage you to take a look and give them a try on your own.

November 2021 Update

Improvised "Hall Update" Thumbnail.

I'm back after taking another month off this blog in order to deal with a bunch of typical problems outside of Internet. It has been a wild ride, but right now everything seems well and calm enough for me to step back into my Hall and talk to you about many things. Hopefully, monthly updates like this will become more regular (as much as the word "monthly" allows me to) in order to help me open up more to the word and not limit myself to nonsensible rumblings on Twitter that portray me as paranoid idiot in constant meltdown.

In this update, I'll just go over my current plans for blog in next month or two, thoughts on my personal endeavours and updates on some things mentioned in previous posts.
