I think as a RPG/RTS hybrid, Warcraft3 very much succeeds. The problem is that WC3 fails as an RPG or RTS seperately. I have always believed that WC3 was designed as a platform to help push World of Warcraft -- essentially Blizzard "sold out" to push WoW.
Considering Blizzard killed a Warcarft adventure game to prevent it from harming the license, I'm not sure that I'd accept that WC3 was simply pushed out the door to sell an MMORPG two and a half years later. Certainly, it appears that you're in the minority in thinking that WC3 wasn't a very good game.

Have you read our current Zad/Wizardru's New Story Hour (Updated 9/8)

or our older WizarDru's Story Hour?
You Should.
I ain't linking to Piratecat's story hour...no sir, I just won't do it. He can just get the next half-million reads on his own.

Did I mention that I have a Livejournal? It's possible that I have.
