I stopped playing after 1.10 got old. What's new in the patch? Any specific announcements or is it just more balancing?

12/11/2009 2:40:52 PM

did you install using the carbon installer off of blizzard's website. then you can copy the mpq data files so you wont need a cd

12/12/2009 1:45:56 AM

all that happens is a box saying the program had to shut down
