How do I play the original Warcraft 3 now?

I have limited space and now it’s asking for a 30gb update to play my original version, is there no way to just play the classic game?

One has to install the full update. This is because even without buying Reforged, the World Editor can show Reforged models.

If storage space is a concern consider investing in a 512 GB SSD to act as a gaming partition. These cost £50 for reputable ones from Samsung and possibly less from lower quality vendors. 512 GB SSD is more than enough space for a few games.

I’m not even prompted to update to a new version, I just straight up can’t play TFT anymore.

Try uninstalling the existing version. Then from the BattleNet application installing Reforged. I would imagine this as a work around as it is effectively re-installing Warcraft III.

I am on a Mac, the battlenet app does not work with wc3 and i had to do weird workarounds to get it to work as it is.

Check there is not a new mac installer for Warcraft III. Otherwise if there is no native BattleNet application then you may want to consider making a topic about it.
