    A couple of things:

    #1) Where can I find good tutorials for the world editor? It looks very promising but I'm having trouble with some features like making in-game movies, creating new races and stuff.

    #2) Are the 128 MB of RAM on my PC enough to actually achieve something with the editor?

    Achtung! Spoilers!

    #3) Saw Arthas beating the crap out of Illidan without breaking a sweat? Man, Illidan is a freaking demon, getting smashed like that isn't like him, I was disappointed seeing that sorry fight.

    #4) Many points of the story are on hold, think we'll have to wait for warcraft IV or maybe another expansion set for WC3?

    #5) Am I the only one who sees huge parallels between the plot of Warcrat III and Starcraft?

    Thank you for your time.

    1) Try playing the orc bonus campaign. I've heard it's a tutorial on how to use the World Editor, and a fairly good one at that.

    2) 128MB RAM should be servicable, although more RAM always = good.

    3) Hmm. Take a Level 10 Death Knight versus a Level 10 Demon Hunter? I'd say the Demon Hunter wins everytime with manaburn, immolation and metamorphosis.

    4) The plot in the WC3 game/expansion has always been rather screwy. Perhaps another expansion pack will come along. Or WC4 sometime in the future.

    5) No, you are not the only one. Arthas is frighteningly similar to Kerrigan. Although I would rather be a mighty Death Knight imbued with unholy power anyday rather than an ugly thing in charge of a bunch of disgusting bug-like creatures.

    I've played the Orc campaign. "To be continued, download the rest on battlenet when it becomes available". No signs of a world editor tutorial...yet.

    My advice is to check at www.gamefaqs.com for an editor guide. There is a pretty good one for WC3 vanilla, and you should be able to figure what the new stuff is about when you understand the vanilla editor.

    Thanks, Muffin.

    I found out about strange theories saying the universes from WC and SC are actually connected. Some say the Zerg is yet another plague sent by the burning legion. Also some parallels between Xel'Naga ("Naga"???) and the Titans mentioned in WC. Puzzling.

    actually it would take more than that Shura. One has to bear in mind that Illidan story wise quaffed a heavily loaded artifact and thus increased his powers considerable, making it an even more horrid fight.

    and no, I noticed the parallels to starcraft (and broodwar) as well. The more you think of it, the more the story seems the same. Even though it's a good story, it's limited how many times you can keep it good.

    I heard rumors of another expansion, but b-net is full of rumors. Hopefully we'l see another, but to be realistic I think we have to wait till world of worldcraft.
