This raises a question for me. Is it legal to use wow models in WC3?

I assume it is just fine, since wow icons are used by many custom maps, including DotA, which is played on battle.net, and Blizz does nothing about it.

Is it any different for models though?

It's not legal, no. No one's going to come sue you for it though. You might not be able to upload your map on sites with strict moderation.

The real problem with WoW model is the size of them. They are heavily detailed in comparison to WC3 models.

Nothing about it? blizz loves dota, recent patch notes even fixes some dota bugs..

And the worst thing that could happen is that ur map gets rejected, but i dont know from where

Well, I don't know if icons are legal to use or not, but DotA got Blizzard's permission for a lot of things, including icons.

Models, however are not legal unless you ask Blizzard for it.

In order to use WoW Models in a WC3: TFT/RoC map legally, you need to ask Blizzard for permission. You can either make a thread somewhere on the WoW Forums, or you can call a help line and request to speak to someone about Model Extracting.

There is a fellow who got Blizzard's permission to extract the icons.

Ok,

So I posted at on battle.net for permission, and I was directed here by the Blizz employee.

Also, they have had discussion about this before at the battle.net website.

Looks like Blizz has no problem with using wow icons/models as long as they are not used for commercial use, redistrubuted as forgery, and they are within other blizz games.
