So I wanted to get my friend prepped for the new remaster by introducing him to the original game, but guess what? You suddenly can’t purchase it from the store anymore.
What’s up with that???
Just google “warcraft 3 blizzard shop” to see what I mean, both links 404.
yes they need to address this asap
Looks like they’re going to make us buy the remastered to get the originals. How stupid is that.
They are merging the games together, so you don’t have to buy all the games separately. It’s not stupid. If you think about it, you save 20 bucks. Or alternatively, Reforged really costs just 10 bucks, which is the same what RoC and TFT cost.
I voted ‘Blizzard process disappointed me’ on the Blizzard Support info.
This is just absurd, they oblige people to go on Ebay, Amazon and other physical retailers or secondary marketplaces (or even pirate…), War3 Reforged is not available now, they just announced it and instead of getting some extra money from the Classic due to the new Hype they remove it ‘until it becomes cold in hell’ … wtf ?
What the heck? That’s ridiculous !
Can confirm that if you buy the new “Warcraft III: Reforged” you have the option to login to your account and get the “old” games that way, otherwise just use the codes you have if you bought them before. Just sucks if you had brought the “Reign of Chaos” and not the “Frozen throne” expansion, because it requires both key…
Does it? can’t you type only the RoC one and it will be enough?
Warcraft 3 and frozen throne should be accessible if you buy remaster said grubby and on november 6 which wasn’t eventually. So now i can’t even but warcraft 3 great…
I am fed up with blizzard, i don’t have mood for this anymore…
You can buy WC3R and you’d need to download the WC3 client in order to play it from 1.30.2 Patch Notes
When launching the game you’d be promted to link to your battlenet account to see whether or not you own WC3 Reforged

1.30.2 Patch Notes - click your OS.
Very helpful post and all, but dude, this is a 3 months old thread - I’m pretty sure the problem has been resolved already.
JohnOstrowic cover the important bits.
For those who don’t know yet the reason why you can’t buy or install warcraft 3 the old way is because reforged is using the same engine as the original and they’re making them compatible. This means they’re making major changes to the old game as well. They simply don’t want you to waste your money. Just buy reforged and you receive both games in one (literally).
So If I have WC3 FT already Then will i get reforged?
No, next question please.
No but you will forced to test everything coming to reforged because these updates will add and strip things away while you will be forced to beta test the work for the devs. Don’t worry knowing you did all this for everyone will help you sleep at night!
ok so i just got back from military training and now have access to my computer, i had the old versions of warcraft 3 via the battle.net but now they are gone…
Sorry but what exactly is the problem here? Why would you want an old version of WC3?
Thank you for posting this, could not find any where else how to get the download
Remember guys, when sc:r was like few weeks away, they also took the old verions down from the shop. Lets hope
