Warcraft

I have a question, say I have Warcraft 3 on my macbook and I want to play online with my friend who has a Windows operating system. Will I be able to play with my friend online or only with mac users..?

It should work fine, AFAIK Warcraft is playable across platforms. Blizzards WarCraft III pages don't mention anything about it not working, just that "Multiplayer games played over a LAN require an active connection to a TCP/IP network."

Unfortunately I cannot myself confirm this because I don't have the game, but hopefully someone else can spread some more light on this

US or European

Hey Boo310,

If your friends are already playing then ask them whether they have the European or US version. Both versions are for sale in Dubai (I found this out the hard way) and if you buy a US version you cannot play on the European servers and vice versa.
