First of all, let me tell you how glad I am to see so much support from everyone to W3Arena! We really do appreciate it!

Update

Here's an update about the current situation.

We will do our best to keep the server ONLINE! But there is something we need from you to achieve it. And that's donations. We will need 120 Euro a month to keep the Chatserver/EU bots/US bots/Website running. We already saw that alot of people are eager to donate around 1-3 euro a month. Now heres the thing.

You can donate by PayPal:

BUT! PayPal does charge about 20-30 cence for each payment + another 3 procent. If you donate 1 euro; We will receive 62 cence. So, if you are going to donate, please make it count!

Another option we are thinking about, is opening a free online bank account. However, it seems there are no free accounts in The Netherlands.. So we hope to find a cheap one. Right now, we found one that costs 15 euro a month, and thats just too much.

Forum

I have opened up a new forum thread in where I update the amount of Euro's we have right now on the PayPal account. You can find the link by clicking HERE!

*PS: There is a 'Donate' button on the right side of our homepage on 'News'. Its below "Support W3Arena".

*PPS: If you'd like to share the PayPal adress for friends to donate to, its: PayPal@W3Arena.net

I'm not in a very good mood that I have to write this news item. But it has to be done.

In some weeks for now, we will have to take W3Arena - the server, the website and the chatserver down. This is due to the fact that Pad, who runs W3Arena on the servers of his company in webhosting, has sold it to someone else. This means that everything personal of him thats located there has to be removed from it. This means, removing W3Arena.

Since neither one of us, Pad or myself, earns enough (we are both students) we will be forced to take it down. The costs per month are €120,- and we will be unable to provide them for ourselves.

We make one final attempt to write a news item about this, in order to draw attention to this matter and hopefully be able to get support and find a sponsor somehow, even if chances are small. The sponsor would have to be willing to donate around 100 to 120 euro a month for us in order to keep everything going and improving the system.

Pad sold his company since he is really overworked the last months. After some weeks this will mean he will have alot of more freetime which could possibly be spend into W3Arena. But ofcourse, we cannot put those hours in it if its not possible to host it.

Hopefully we have informed you enough, if you have any other questions, feel free to post them in a comment below. If you'd like a more private way of contacting us, you can reach me on DeathWing@W3arena.net

Regards,

SC2 TV - StarCraft II TV

Replayers.com owner aka 'NitemarE' started a new project in the late 2012 for StarCraft II. We usually don't post about SC2 on this website, but in this case we're making an exception!

We'd like to inform you about the release of this new, awesome website called SC2TV.Com

It will have the same basics as Replayers has for WarCraft III, only not with Replays but with Videos on demand. Something different here though, will be that 'approvers' will upload games and other 'approvers' will watch them if its top quality or not.

Perhaps in the future, you'll be able to upload your own casts as well.

The goal is to get high quality videos all together for your pleasure to watch!

You will be able to follow users on our website, to get notified whenever adds a new cast. The site will have many great new and exiting features. The release date of the website is tommorow on the 22nd of april.

Don't forget to visit: SC2TV.Com

W3Arena is now a selectable server when uploading a replay on Replayers.com

You can see right here that it has been added:

When you're finished uploading, the playernames will link to W3Arena profiles on the website there.

Ladder-reset!

The server will go down in about 20 minuts, at around 23:00 CET. It will be down for around 10 minuts. In this time-frame, the ladder will be reset for the W3Arena server.This means that you will lose the stats/rank/level for Solo(1vs1), 2vs2 RT & 2vs2 AT.
Icons and total stats will NOT reset. They will remain the same.
