Warcraft III Frozen Throne 1.24b Patch Log File Review

Last August, there has been an update on Warcraft III Frozen Throne 1.24b on the blizzard website. Warcraft is one of the best games that Blizzard entertainment had created. There are many modifications and enhancement from its core game. I remember playing Warcraft (the first ever Warcraft) way back in elementary. I was really into it - the chopping of woods, mining for gold and, surviving from attacks and just completing the preset campaigns. Now Warcraft have revolved in many other modifications. There is this Dota Allstars and World of Warcraft (the ever popular MMORPG - with 9 million subscribers, can you believe?)
