And not only is the War2combat client superior, the server itself is EONS ahead of the garbage that GoG uses. What they released was as close to the original as possible (which was the goal I believe).

It includes a TON of patches that the GoG client just doesnt but should have. In fact, it's far superior to the GoG version and it's 100% compatible with the GoG servers as of yesterday. There is absolutely NOTHING illegal about the War2Combat version of the game. It should also be noted that the RU server has been around since I think 2005/6? Been so long I lost count. Now, if it were charging it's users, Blizzard would probably have a problem with it. Blizzard has aboslutely NO issues with the War2Combat version/server because it's NEVER asked for money from it's users. If you're not already aware, KHB (A longtime War2 vet) worked for Blizzard for about 10yrs and he helped build the War2Combat server by testing it. The Question was, if ppl will be able to activate their CD-key here, so they can download it legally There is a simple answer to this. In addition to that: Post 2 doesn't answer the TO and since Blizzard never allowed any private servers, this version's illegal. as far as I know is a private-server community. MavByte: idk if it's ever been stated but. Warcraft III can no longer be redeemed but you may downloaded the updated client and use your CD key to log into the game from playwar3 website. Your original Blizzard CD was related to Blizzard Battle net server, so it would not work here.Īs for Blizzard side, only Diablo II still has the ability to have CD key redeemed on you Blizzard Account since the game is still active on their own battle net. Warcraft 2 and Diablo both share the same global. GoG uses a Global Battle Net the made for their game. They don't offer the ability to download the client either, even tough they do let me download Starcraft, Diablo 2, WC3, go figure. I tried the key on, but it doesn't work. Thus I'm wondering if it would ever be possible for us to 'activate' our old physical copies of WC2 B.net edition using the CD-Key provided? My CD is so badly preserved I can't even install it, and beside that, the old version of WC2 uses CD as a DRM, you had to play with CD in the drive.

Obsessor: I own a collection which includes Diablo, Starcraft, and Warcraft 2: Edition.
