Dear Reforged Team,
First of all, I’m sorry for all of the non-constructive negative comments about Reforged. I know you guys poured a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into making this a reality for us, and we really appreciate that!
With that said, I’ve always played purely custom games on WC3, and for the custom game community, there really is no need for a reforged update. We actually prefer everything to stay exactly as it used to be! Call us old farts but we’ve been playing the same games for 10 years now! We love things as they are.
As another thread has pointed out (link below), the Public Test Realm currently allows us to go back to the old Bnet interface to play custom games. My worry is that Blizzard will withdraw support for this client, and take the server down in the near future.
So, I’m creating this thread as a plea to provide long term support for the old Bnet client (in the form of the public test realm) or another realm.
As I’m sure you all know, we are very passionate about this game. And, I think that translates to dollars. I, for one, would be willing to generously fund the ongoing maintenance of the public test realm. And, just from talking to people in my community, I’m not alone. If this is a financial decision, let us know how to support you!
Again, thank you again for your hard work. And, I hope you consider this request seriously.
Very Best,
Dumdedum
