So this newsgroup is solely for a 13 year old game? Nah. It's generally accepted that it's here for all things Warcraft - and like it or not WoW is still Warcraft (it's in the name).

There is no game called Warcraft. Period. There is however a franchise called Warcraft that until today contains 4 games: Warcraft Orcs & Humans Warcraft II Tides Of Darkness Warcraft III Reign Of Chaos World of Warcraft The fact that the word Warcraft reoccurs in each of these titles might be a give-away, but it might be worth stressing it out for you. I agree it is kinda tricky because the Warcraft word appears at the end of the last game, as opposed to the first three games, but I hope I clarified it now for you. Should you still have trouble figuring out what WoW has to do with Warcraft, feel free to mail me and I will send you a 30 page resume that goes a bit more indepth than my previous explanation. >> Stay informed about: why so much discussion about WoW when this newsgroup is NO..

If we had a seperate WoW newsgroup, then any post in this newsgroup would probably go unseen by anyone. At least if you make a Warcraft O&H or WCII or WCIII post here, you'll probably get a response by a WoW player that played Warcraft and knows what you're talking about. -- Doc >> Stay informed about: why so much discussion about WoW when this newsgroup is NO..
