Better yet, Warcraft III introduced “Hero” characters, bigger and more powerful units that gave modders a perfect way to separate rank-and-file armies from named characters like Gimli, Legolas, and Aragorn. Then you get Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne in the summer of 2003, and The Return of the King in December 2003.īoth took place in fantasy realms populated by humans, elves, dwarves, and orcs. The Two Towers released six months after, in December of 2002. Peter Jackson’s The Fellowship of the Ring released in December of 2001, a mere six months before Warcraft III. There’s a “student becomes the master” aspect to it, with the fairly rough Defense of the Ancients mod eventually spawning two of the biggest games in the world, Dota 2 and League of Legends.įor me it’s always Lord of the Rings though. People tend to remember Warcraft III’s custom scene because of Defense of the Ancients, which makes sense.
