Hey everyone , since we all know that Blizzard is not going to create Warcraft 4 , I've decided to make new campaigns , with new lory , new champions , new enemies , and much more ... There will be 4 campaigns for different race and a bonus campaign .

About the campaigns :
Human Campaign - The Relics
Storyline:
After Archimonde's defeat humans were living in peace and harmony with other races . King Leoric , known as the "greatest and kindest ruler of all times" has done many great deeds but , even the greatest humans are aging and becoming weak and vulnerable . But king Leoric's wizard Naotradus has told him about a relics of power to grant immortality , called The Relics of Life . So King Leoric sent Zink , most loyal of his Royal Champions , to find those relics and bring them to him . But what he doesn't know is that humans aren't the only ones looking for the relics ...

Undead Campaign - Fall of the Lich King
Storyline:
Banshee's Sylvannas's plan to destroy The Lich King was successful , but , for a cost - her own life . Soon Council of the Undying appeared , and they awakened Hazzeroth , the evil hero , who lived for thousands of years , to do their bidding . But even with The Council being active , the undead were weak without a true leader , so young , female warlock Shanna'Ann has decided to take the throne . Everyone accepted her , except The Council , which ordered Hazzeroth to assasinate her , before she finishes the Trial of Blood , which was the only thing left for Shanna'Ann to finish .

Orc Campaign - The New Alliance
Storyline:
Orgrimaar , the great city of orcs and ruled by Warchief's Thrall's Great Grandson Thak'Norak was attacked for hundred times , but it still stands . But orc greatest enemies , Night Elves , found a secret passage to Orgrimaar , made by orcs thousands of years ago , and the orcs needed an alliance . So Thak'Norak himself has requested the alliance from one of the greatest enemies of the orcs - the fel orcs , corrupted orcs , imbued with demonic blood . But fel orcs had one condition - they asked for an ancient relic , one of the "Relics of Life" , called Grom's Soulstone . That's where war against humans has started ...

Night Elf Campaign - Return of Cenarius
Storyline:
In these times of war , 7 Druids have begun a portal to revive ancient Night Elven demigod Cenarius . But in the middle of the ritual , orc headhunter came on a wind rider and stole the Horn of Cenarius - an ancient horn , in which Cenarius's essence was held . The Grand Arch Druid Trembark has begun an operation to retrieve the horn . What he did not know , is that the stolen horn was just the beginning of terrible things that were about to happen ....

Information about the "Extra" campaign will be released soon .

Team I am looking for:
Terrainers (to make campaign's terrain excellent)
Artists (for loading screens , icons and etc)
Modelers (for new heroes , races and etc)
Voice actors (not only for dialogs and cinematics , but for in-game hero voices also)

PS.: Extra info about the project WILL be added.

Fuck that, you don't know, but anyway it seems like a good solid project...at the beginning. I say you're aiming way too high (4 campaigns, are you kidding? Focus on one and only one race at a time or you get too ahead of yourself).

Otherwise, although I don't understand how the Lich King died and the Archimonde death happened QUITE a while ago, it's alright. Perhaps you want triggerers too? This is too epic, you need a heck load of time with the proper team, proper enthusiasm and proper/art terrain, so all I can say is good luck!

EDIT: Isn't this the wrong forum (Project Recruitment should have this)?

I doubt they'll make a new warcraft considering that WoW has such a huge fan base and makes blizzard so much money. But that still doesn't rule out the possibility. You have a very good idea here but its a massive project. I would leave the extra campaign... maybe use it as an expansion if this project is ever completed... as it is (with four entirely custom campaigns) you have enough on your plate.

If you did some research you'd know that Blizzard Entertainment is not yet sure if they will continue making a new Warcraft RTS. One of the topleaders of Blizzard said that Warcraft 4 will definately be on the table for discuss when Starcraft II is done, but that will atleast take about 2 more years before anything will be sure at Blizzard's side, let alone the time it will cost to produce the game..

For details and "proof" just check the internet, alot of crap is around so be careful

They're definitely going to make Warcraft IV.

It make take them 10-15 years though.

The Dark One
You've got an excellent idea going there , but you have a couple of problems, first ,even though blizzard abandoned their fans by making the game online and denying us the right to play our favorite game, the copy rights are theirs and you must take their permission to make a warcraft 4 (if you don't thy can not only shut down the site or get the administrators to kick you out but also put you on court ) because it may ruin any future plans thy have for the game which leads to the second problem, your story line just gone with the winds (sorry ).

If you want to go on with this then this is what you've got to do:

Since you have no legal front you have to contact blizzard through the administrators of this site and convince them to submit an official offer to make a warcraft 4 as a support to the world of warcraft online game for the sake of the fans who can't afford to play online and that you will agree to their terms.

Then you present your plan which falls along the lines of:
Warcraft 4, the strategic campaign pack conversion of the world of warcraft for all the fans who still want to know the continuation of the epic tales of warcraft.
Warcraft 4 features the eight races of the world and campaigns for each of them that tell how the history of warcraft is being written.

You will have to make the storyline in the same era as the wow and include the same characters e.i. Thrall is the orc leader and Jina is the human leader and so on and then show it to Blizzard and wait for their approval (blizzard will probably not agree to anything else).

You can also include the benefits of allowing this like: it'll serve as publicity for the game and say that Blizzard didn't forget the fans that can't play online games and bla bla bla ect ect ect, and say the magical words "no founding required" and see what happens.

If thy have plans for warcraft 4 (which I doubt) then we can offer them to start the project on this site so it can be released faster (we help them make the game) and it'll save them money and time.

If this works I'm in and with you all the way (no way I'm letting this happen without me), and if you think it's too troublesome then let me take care of this project cause it has a lot of potential .

As others said, you would need a good team to complete this. And loads of time. And loads of motivation. I don't think you would need all that that The Dark One, honestly I don't think blizzard would care. I just skimmed through the World Editor License Agreement, and as long as you don't sell whatever you make, it doesn't matter. You could just write down that the production of this campaign is not endorsed in any way, shape or form by Blizzard Entertainment or something. Although, I agree your storyline is very bland.
By the way when you said

First of all, here it says Thrall was born in 2 ADP http://www.wowwiki.com/Thrall

Orgrimmar was founded between ADP 26 and 29, When the Frozen Throne was happening, which was also the same time of Rexxars campaign, and he discovered newly constructed Orgrimmar. See http://www.blizzplanet.com/content/175/

So this would mean thrall was between 24 and 27 years of age. Orc usually die of old age around 100 yrs (See http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread....86763195&sid=1) Now thrall wouldve probably died later, around 120 since hes such a powerful orc. So thrall wouldve died around 145 ADP. Add that to the years of his Son, his Grandson, and his Great Grandson (who lets say is 80 years since hes not dead yet). So at most, if thralls descendants didn't die of a cause other than old age and died all around 110, the year would be around 445, so this would mean orgrimmar was founded around 430-435 years ago. This isn't even near a thousand, not to mention thousands of years.

Why I went through the time to post that? I have no idea. But Lern2Lore before you make a WC4.

Also for the Forsaken campaign why would Shanna'ann go through a Trial of Blood if shes undead? Just sayin'. And its pretty hard to imagine the Forsaken defeated the Scourge, unless of course they finished that anti scourge plague they've been workin' on. Because the Forsaken were waiting for that plague until they would attack the Scourge, and the only reason they're fighting in Wrath of the Lich King is because the Lich King is waging war.

For the Night Elf campaign, instead of there being 7 random druids who try to summon Cenarius, how about it be like Malfurion Stormrage (Archdruid), Fandrel Staghelm (Archdruid while Malfurion was in the Emerald Dream; Malfurions greatest lieutenant), Remulos (Son of Cenarius and Malfurions Chief Advisor), and Hamuul Runetotem (Druid Leader of the Taurens and High Ranking member of the Cenarion Circle).

For the Orcs, I don't think there should be "Relics of Life", it should just be an ancient relic. And I like Grom's Soulstone name. Also, the Horde would never ally with Fel Orcs, because they are once of their biggest rivals. And if Thak'Norak is like an evil emperor dictator character, you should make it so there is a civil war within Orgrimmar, between Thak'Norak and the Orcs who oppose allying with the Fel Orcs (Maybe a great grandson of Saurfang!). If the Fel Orcs were to ally with them, they would also need Thak'Norak and the Horde to become Fel Orcs as well. Also, if the Horde did need help they could always rely on the Mag'har (Unless this campaign does not recognize WoW)

For the Humans, again just say King Leoric was told of an ancient relic that could grant immortality, dont call them "The Relics of Life". That just sounds so... Just dont call it that.

Now, if you fix up this campaign a good bit, I will be your Terrainer/Idea Contributor.


EDIT Blizzard will make a Warcraft IV! I know it! http://www.blizzplanet.com/?action=news&id=1625 and you should also tell what has happened between your Warcraft and Warcraft III TFT/WoW if your recognizing WoW in your campaign.

EDIT 2 Hey! King Leoric is from Diablo.

I thought King Lear was Shakespeare... And then I realised I'd misread the name *slaps forehead*

I do camera work for a power-metal band, wouldn't mind helping you out with voices. Maybe get the band to do a theme song or two...

"The New Age" ? Are you kidding me?

Personally, I would say that its 95% probable that Blizzard will make a warcraft 4, heck, they are making a DIABLO 3 AFTER THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON WoW. From what Ive seen on WoW, the unit models, and the terrian is awsome, the bolt spells are great, but most other effects suck, like flamestrike for instance (Its more of a light show with 3 cylenders with ribbons for the aftermath... does not even resemble fire).

I would say, Upgrade warcraft 3 to use WoW models in it, and add improved spell effects.

The engine isnt really able to handle that, idiot. You could transmute sc2 to wc3 though but it'd be a titanic waste of time.

I don't think this project is active. Why doesn't someone close it ?
