does warcraft III use 2 buttons like diablo 2...if it does, how does it work? i play diablo 2, and i NEED both buttons!

Guess who hates MMORPGs?

Believe me by the time I get enough money for a Mac,  I sure as hell am not spending $13 a month to play a game.   :mad:  

Good news for all you rich kids out there though!

13 bucks a month aint that much, especially if you have a job. So I have about a year to find a job before this game comes out. I've never played an MMORPG and I've heard good and bad things about them, but this one is gonna rock for a fact!!!

You mean the mouse buttons? Yes, as long as you're playing in OS X both mouse buttons work (maybe OS 9, I wouldn't know since I haven't used it for a year).

It's Everquest with War3 characters. Don't get your hopes up, ALL MMORPGs are just EQ clones. You kill stuff, you get phat lewt, you level, you repeat. Not my kind of game.

If you knew anything about it you'd know that Blizzard is learning from other MMORPGs' mistakes including EQ. Yes, there will be a purpose besides killing things and leveling up, that's one of the major things they've made sure of.

From an article written by someone who visited Blizzard HQ:

 

quote:So as I was saying, I was thinking to myself, "How can this get better than it [Ever Quest] was?" Boy was I in for a surprise. Aside from the gameworld being way, way more developed, this time they showed me their UI, Quest Engine, Tradeskilling Engine, you name it, it was rolled out... All those complaints we've had in Everquest, and other MMORPGS were addressed. Essentially, you could look at the game and see that this game was built by people that LOVED to game. People that had faced the same damn frustrations we face and have faced daily. No more carpal tunnal syndrome tradeskilling. No more 45 hour Jboot camps. No idiotic quests, instead quests with meaning and meaningful rewards starting at lvl 1 and moving onward. To top it off, an intricately designed combat and spellcasting engine that didn't look and feel like absolute crap. Even PvP seemed like something people would WANT to participate in - something I had previously deemed impossible for an MMORPG to combine into a PvE oriented world with success.

I'm pretty sure that exact same thing you just posted was said by Mythic when they made DAOC. And look at how DAOC turned out.    :mad:   (god that was a waste of money)

I remember Mythic RANTING about how epic their quest  system was, and it was worse than EQ's. They also ranted about how easy it was to level up, and how great realm combat was. Both of those were total crap. If anyone can make a good MMORPG I'm gonna say its Bethesta. Blizzard is good but I'm afraid they're just gonna jump on the EQ bandwagon.

If they tweaked up the walk speeds Morrowind would own as a MMORPG.

I second that.

I have always had a fondness for blizzard. When I finally got my dad to get an iMac the first game I got was starcraft and I'm still playing it.

This also reminds me of when I met one of those everquest addicts and he was trashing the mac because it only had 22 everquest servers (this same guy lived with his mother and he looked about 45) he then went on and on about how windows XP is the greatest operating system to date
