SPECIAL: State of User Generated Content
Warcraft3 is wildly known for the content that came out of the World Editor, namely funmaps like DotA, Funman Frenzy and Tower Defense.
Today, we interview three of the most famous and influential content creators of this day and age, coming from the project Re-Reforged and Chronicles of the 2nd War.
What did Reforged change for them? What drives them to do Blizzard work? Why is the new graphic not as bad as the melee community says - and how can we make them fit better for melee matches?
This and many more from InsaneMonster, Shadi & Eugene.
