Rats maps or the ones with a ton of vehicles were the most fun before the game got way too serious (before 1.5)

I ran a server that was primarily rat surf maps with a Warcraft/RPG server mod for years back then. It was super fun and something that modern games just can't touch in terms of that kind of niche.

Surf maps were so strange as a concept. Dunno how stuff like that can become such a big thing.

I miss the custom games of Warcraft 3 and the likes. The creativity was running wild.

It is sad that hats, loot boxes amd dlc has killed modding in commercial games.

I still remember the name "gimli", a creator of high-quality maps around 1.3.

He still publishes maps!
