After an endless search spanning one full day, and effectively taking 12 hours, we're so close, yet so far, to owning a full, no-problems version ofWarcraft III.

Starting from after dinner yesterday, I searched until 2am for cracks and other tools to beat the system. I had to risk adwares, but luckily Firefox prevented it, and my Microsoft Antispyware as well as Symantec Antivirus caught it while I was running IE. There were fixes as well as serial numbers. I had to wait like 30min for a game patch in a public server queue. But finally it could work.

Then Ryan informed me, that while Ben was online, our ROC CD key would clash with his, and we would not be able enter Battle.Net. So I embarked on another 6-hour search, ploughing through viruses and graphic pictures of penetration to look for CD keys. I was lucky to get hold of an ROC key changer. And the CD keys were totally useless. In the end, Ryan and I decided that we would have to get hold of the CD keys of other players who did not need it anymore, either because they are on Eurobattle.net, which does not require CD Keys, or they don't or very seldom play Warcraft anymore. Or else we would have to resort to Eurobattle.net ourselves, which apparently causes problems in the other servers of the original Battle.net when you try to go back in.

And so the search ends. But hope continues...

Yawn.
