The game\u2019s servers are unstable, key features are missing, and many fans feel that Blizzard misrepresented the product, with some even calling for the return of the 2003 version. Blizzard address Warcraft 3: Reforged backlash After a few days of silence, the American company finally replied to fans via a post on the game\u2019s official forums \u2013 tackling many of the issues players have highlighted. \u201cFirst off, we want to say we\u2019re sorry to those of you who didn\u2019t have the experience you wanted, and we\u2019d like to share our plans for what\u2019s coming next.\u201d They began, before getting into the key issues.
