Parents blamed World of Warcraft for sleepless nights of their geeky kids grinding quests in Xoroth world instead of grinding their world literature assignments. Geeks blamed World of Warcraft for the swine flu outbreak too (story here). Now, the Blizzard’s own geek has revealed that the World of Warcraft can be blamed for long time delay of StarCraft II release.

Though the initial  development of StarCraft II started on year 2002,  Blizzard’s VP Rob Pardo explained that one of the reasons that StarCraft II have been delayed for for these past 6 years is because the original design team concentrated on finishing up the development of World of Warcraft.  Nonetheless, he continued that they have have brought their long run experiences in WOW to the current StarCraft development as it nearly perfects the class balancing.

“It’s been a long project for sure, but if you look at say World of Warcraft, or Warcraft III – or even the original StarCraft – there was a halfway point where we took a dramatic left turn and took a different direction. We haven’t done that with Starcraft II.”

Here’s a compiled detailed guide for the Warcraft 3 Version Switcher made by GG.SphinX in Garena Gaming Community. This will make easy for newbies who don’t have any idea of what it does since many of the Warcraft 3 TFT users have expressed difficulty in version switching. This Warcraft III version switcher app is legally distributed by Garena and you need an original license of Warcraft 3 to be able it to work correctly. Here’s the complete Warcraft 3 Version Switcher Complete Guide after the break.

WARCRAFT 3 VERSION SWITCHER (WVS) – COMPLETE GUIDE

1.20e to 1.21 and back :

• This is mainly for the Philippine and Indian gamers of GG Client, where predominantly 1.20e version games are played.

• Everybody else in the WORLD has 1.21.

If you want to play in the PH and Indian rooms with 1.20e but at the sametime you want to retain your 1.21 version as well. Then you need nothave 2 separate game versions installed in your Hard disk drive(HDD).
Instead you can use this simple tool. Its called the :

“Warcraft 3 : Version Switcher” : It is a simple tool which is used to switch between 2 versions of warcraft 3:

• 1.20e
• 1.21

Download the “Warcraft 3 : Version Switcher” from here :

Backing up current version using wvs:

If you have an older version of warcraft say 1.07 and if you wish to have a back up of it so that you can switch to it just in case, then you can do it using wvs. Follow thefollowing steps:

Step 1 : Once you have downloaded “wvs” to your HDD extract the zip file using WINRAR or WINZIP
Winrar : LINK

Step 2 : Then double click on the “wvs” icon to run it

Step 2 : Then double click on the “wvs” icon to run it


Step 3: Presently if you’re having version 1.07(say) for backing it up : click on the “Store current version” button



Step 4: Select the version which you have from the drop down list box :

Step 5: After selecting the version number of your war3, click on the “Make zip Package” to make a back up copy of your current version.

Step 6: This helps you to switch back to the previous version, if in case you face any problems with the latest patches.

Patching war3 using wvs:

Step 1 : Click on the “Switch Version” button :
Step 2 : Then double click on the version to which you would like to switch :

Step 3 : Click on yes and the game will be patched :

Step 4 : Finally click on exit when its done.

NOTE : Do not run the game by clicking on the icons in the Warcraft version switcher and search for games in  LAN, for games hosted via GG client. You wont be able to see them. Make sure you start the game only from  GG client by clicking on the “Start game” button found in the room. You can check how to setup Garena for Warcraft 3 The Frozen Throne Online Multiplayer here.

I hope this guide can help our section viewers, some of whom find it difficult to switch between versions.
