[edit] no joke, I just read December 2002.

(first guess was summer 2002, if ya missed it )...but knowing Blizzard I would say Summer, then factor in the Mac port...delays...etc....hell MWSF 2003?

I don't think it's going to be that late, but maybe... with Blizzard you never know. As for factoring in the Mac port, I'm expecting a simultaneous release for both Mac and PC. The Mac version of Diablo II took a week to come out while the Expansion Pack was released simultaneously on a single CD for both platforms. I'm expecting Blizzard to follow this trend and release Warcraft III for everyone on a dual CD.

[EDIT:] Actually, I just read on MacGamer's release date list that Warcraft III is set for a winter 2002 release. This doesn't mean December of 2002... it actually means Jan/Feb of 2002, which is what I remember hearing a few weeks ago. I have vague memories of reading that Warcraft 3 is supposed to come out early 2002, while Worlds of Warcraft is heading for a year after the release date of Warcraft 3. I'm guessing a mid 2002 for Warcraft 3 and a Q4 2002/Q1 2003 release for WoW. Again, just guesses.

Well, it does say Winter 2002. So if you want to get your hopes up, you couldtechnically say it could come in January or February seeing as it is still winter and just entered the 2002 year .
