    ... and now Warcraft 3 has it too!
    Warcraft 3 just got a no cd patch:
    February 6th, 2008 - Patch 1.21b is completed and should be available online today. Patch 1.21b will not break any of 1.21's replays.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Patch 1.21b
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    FEATURES
    - The game no longer requires the CD to play.

    ...and more is coming:
    February 14th, 2008 - The Dev Team will be shifting the testing of Patch 1.22 to a test Battle.net server, inviting various feedback perspectives on these final changes.

    Rest of the info: http://www.battle.net/forums/war3/thread.aspx?fn=war3-general&t=1877805&p=1&tmp=1#new1877805

    Doesn't it update automatically anymore when connecting to battle.net with the game anymore?
    I haven't played Warcraft 3 for weeks now, but I might give it a try again now. :D

    Hehe, so you were playing with your cd inserted, but you didn't really needed to do that. :p
    Didn't you notice that the cd wasn't making any sound anymore? It shouldn't check for the cd anymore after a patch like that, so if I am correct, it should be really quit now.

    You should keep it in a case when not in your comp at all times.

    It drives me nuts when ppl don't returns discs to their cases then bitch that they don't work. Not saying that you do this.

    It wasnt because of that, it was just because the drive was to slow (4x)

    I've never had problems with my old 4x one, the comp it was in stopped working yes, but my discs are all fine, I have had my sc copy for 4 or 5 years now and it is in almost perfect condition.
