Cool, I didn't know stars[aries] has posted such a great post here. Please allow me to introduce myself, I am also a "warlock-holic" from Indonesia, and frequently play warlock in IDGS Free or rgc (in (SA)/(EU)warlock server, since I have just moved to US, I have good ping there).
I managed to make more Indonesian player to know, learn, and love warlock through making clans (for three years, until now, I have 9 clans with member of 650 user IDs in total, but of course not all of them are still active because 3 years is a great period of time). This clans are really useful to gather players; usually we play with 6-12 players (37 gold, 15 gold, and 7 rounds). For now, I don't think there's any Indonesian server with decent event managers left, so I created warlock events by myself through collaboration with private BOTS owners (players are attracted to win the 1 month BOT price).
In my opinion, there're quite a lot of players from Indonesia who are decent enough to compete in rgc, but sadly (asia)warlock is now not so popular. Probably because Asia is a big region, there're really lots of players from China and Korea, but we never play with good ping because of the server range. Everyone in Asia prefer to play in their own country's battlenet. I know that there is still a server with daily warlock games in Korea called M16 server, and a server in China.
Last but not least, as I mentioned earlier, there're still lots of warlock players in Indonesia, but we are using the late 099c patch. This is because it is the only stable map that we can play there. Indonesian battlenet uses the warcraft 1.24b patch, which patch later than warlock1.00b are not playable in this warcraft 1.24b patch; while the 1.00b patch has a bug that players are kicked out unvoluntarily. If it is possible, I hope that the next patch after 1.01 will be playable in the 1.24b patch, so that we can also enjoy the new maps.
Thanks, I really love this game!
