What is Warcraft III : World of Warcraft(Wc3:WoW)?
=========================================
Warcraft III : World of Warcraft(Wc3:WoW) is a new type of campaign project which will use the Warcraft III engine to make an artificial World of Warcraft, originally created by Blizzard Entertainment. You'll choose your own race and class. You will venture the lands of Azeroth which contains well terrained landscapes that aim to look very similar to the landscape in World of Warcraft. Wc3:WoW uses a special 3rd Person 3D camera which is almost exactly like the cameras in World of Warcraft. Moving from map to map to get further in the lands of Azeroth, Searching and doing as many quests you can find, some will be quests from World of Warcraft, others will be made up and totally new quests. We also implemented the "Wandering NPCs" System which allow you to see the NPCs wandering around the world and act as real people playing with you and you can even add them to your party to join you in your epic questing or help you grind for experience And their A.I. is amazing and like something never before seen in Warcraft III history... Wc3:WoW also plans to become a monthly fee free MMORPG and will require no payment to play either (Except to buy Wc3:Reign of Chaos and Wc3:The Frozen Throne). Wc3:WoW is already known world-wide and we hope that by the time it becomes an MMORPG, that our reputation and number of fans grows much larger!
What makes this mod seem/look like World of Warcraft?
==============================================================
Many things make it seem like the original game, World of Warcraft. For example, you can invite NPC heroes that wander around and grind and sometimes try to fight against alliance NPC heroes that come onto Horde/Alliance territory to pick a fight. They can also join your group if you ask them to. Once they join your group, they will follow you wherever you go until you or they die. You can also tell them to go ahead of you and attack something. You also have professions such as Herbalism. The Alliance also comes to Horde territory and will try to gank you and your group-mates! A controlable camera, giving you the ability to change the camera angle and camera distance. There is also a Keyboard Movement System, which can prove to be more useful than clicking everywhere on the minimap and on the terrain. And of course, the great in-game A.I. making it seem almost as if you were playing the the game with other people!

Will the next demo or a demo soon to come afterwards support multiplayer?
==============================================================
Due to WarSoc still not being released yet and being announced to the Wc3:WoW Team that it won't be done for quite a while, expecting one any time soon is definitely out of the question since we haven't even started preparing for the multiplayer version. Another reason why it won't come soon, even after WarSoc is released, is because we will need to recode just about everything in Wc3:WoW, however the terrain will not be needed to be replaced.
Warcraft III : World of Warcraft Progress and Project Planning
==============================================================
Almost all of the basic triggers are already done, but we still need to fix a lot of bugs. If you discover any bugs that have not already been reported, please report any bugs you find in the game at our forums and it will be fixed in the next demo. About the next release, we are focusing the project primarily on the Western region, which is Kalimdor and Teldrassil. However, talk about bringing Lordaeron into the mod is at hand as well. We may also include Tirisfal Glades, The Undercity, Stormwind, and Elwyn Forest in the next version, so stay tuned and keep checking the News page for the latest updates!
How many quests are included in the next demo?
==============================================================
In the next demo, there will be five quests per newbie zone. Ten quests in total for each race. Example: Orcs recieve quests from Orc NPC's in the Valley of Trials, but must venture to Mulgore and into the Tauren's newbie zone to recieve Tauren quests by interacting with Tauren NPC quest givers.
What is the estimated filesize of the currently released demo and the demo still to come?

The previously released demo was 18,633kb (Demo has been removed from website.) and the upcoming demo will be around 30-38mb.
