Though Blizzard has removed the requirement to have a Warcraft 3 CD in the drive while playing the game with the latest patch they have not removed the requirement that every game have a unique CD key - if you want to play on Battle.net.

You can play Lan games with copies but you have to buy the game if you want to play on Battle.net. If you want an official answer though you should ask in the Official Blizzard forums.

There are ways to host on wc3. Even if you're using 2 cd keys you can connect the games on LAN and load up pkpListChecker.

So...basicly it doesen't matter if i install it on 2 computers using the same CD key and battle.net will work(sorry for the stupidity of my question but the day was too long and too tiering for me to make any comcluyions)

You won't be able to get on the same server, on both computers at the same time.
One on US East and one on US West will work, two on US East will not.
In order to play online with a friend you need to connect to eachother VIA LAN, then host it online through a program that does this. pkpListChecker does.

If you still have your old version installed, you can play on the same server. Since the old version still has another cd-key. You can even play with your new disk, since CD-key doesn't have any connection with the disk, only for installation.

Just because your set got broken (i'm assuming the disk broke) doesn't mean it's useless. You have two options once you buy the second set of CD's.

First, you can use the new CD's to install on both computers. Then enter in the CD-Key from your old set of broken disks on one computer. Then enter in the CD-Key from your new set of disks on the other computer.

Or

You can visit http://www.blizzard.com/store/ ,register, enter in your CD-Keys, and download the setup file for the game.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
