  yes, defense of the acients, a popular custom map of the frozen throne(warcaft 3 expansion)
  Startup costs: $90(est) no monthy costs
  World of warcraft startup costs($25 per month plus import $): 6months:$400(est)
  
  WOW has a higher opportunity costs, as compared to warcraft3 and the frozen throne in price.
  just revising my microecons

  What is "nerfed"?

  Nerf is an expression used to signify a hero becoming lousier,it could be his stats went down,or his skills got tweaked like maybe it used to do 500 dmg now it deals 450..thats nerf..Buff is the opposite..

  huh can give more details?well if your disc is original you can log on to bnet and play,but if its pirated you have to download a program called lancraft..Den go mirc #lancraft find people who host games,copy down the ip paste it in the program and you can get a connection with the host..

  You can also use Zion. Which is an Mirc script. Zion is better and more convenient.
