After WoW had been around for a year or so, were you still unhappy about it?
Nah, I enjoyed WoW well enough for what it is. When WoW was announced there was a lot of skepticism on whether or not a company that was primarily known for their RTS games could make an MMO, along with a decent amount of “Who asked for this”. In hindsight I’m also a bit bitter that we never got and never will get Warcraft 4 though. To some degree Blizzard basically stopped developing games for a few years due to WoW’s success consuming the company.
Were most WC3 players unhappy about the announcement?
I think most of them would have preferred another RTS game.
