I think that WC3 it addictive if you stay away from it for like two weeks, wait for new games to come out and then play it for like three weeks straight. If you just play it all the time than you are playing like the same games over and over again (DOTA, Footmen Freenzy, TDs, Mauls, Mastercrafters).
Every summer I am away from WC3, but by the time i get back I am hooked!
Used to be addicted to WC3 1 year ago before my studies got too tough.
Now im busy with sch work so i seldom play.
Wc3 is still one of my favourite games but im more addicted to World Editor
Map making is fun
Well, I wouldn't say that the main game is addicting. It once took me about 6 hours to do a FFA on a full house, 12-player map. And that was against the computer (I ain't that good at the main game).
I find the custom games fairly addictive - that is to say, Footman Frenzy. I don't really try the others, though that's 'cos they kick downloaders.
I only use wc3 for the campaigns and footy now.
But I think the editor has its moments. I like to tinker with it, but can never really get a project off of the ground. I tried makin my own version of Footy, but got sidetracked by an RPG idea that keeps comin to the surface of my mind. Today I spent an hour makin 24 variations of the serpent ward, amkin sure everythin was parfect. An I'll probably never finish it, so it's all pointless, but that's the strange addictive nature of the editor for you.
So it's all fairly addictive, but Footy is like Heroin to me.
Even if I know I hve'nt got a cat in hell's chance of winnin a game, i'll still play that game till im defeated. Though most of the time I win cos im just too good.
Ghan has said he has fixed this. Monovertex please confirm this fix. This was only a problem with people that had signatures in the upper levels like not the special members but the respected members.
