Managed to grab it first. Long been curious about this game. Glad I got the chance to snag it.

Well... A torrent will be great lol
I'm sure it will appear somewhere again. Once it's leaked there's no stoping it : D

Does this mean we only have to wait until 2029 to play Prey 2?

PC Gamer posted a detailed article about Lord of Clans development history:
The inside story of Warcraft Adventures: Blizzard's lost point-and-click adventure
The inside story of Warcraft Adventures: Blizzard's lost point-and-click adventure
Quote
Trying to rework puzzles and story without heaps of new animation was obviously no easy task. With Meretzky's help, Blizzard had a plan to redo the UI and reshape other portions of the game. In his opinion, despite their focus on the puzzles, the scope of their changes couldn't have turned Warcraft Adventures into a great game. He called Thrall's story "interesting and even a little big moving" and praised the voice acting, particularly Clancy Brown as Thrall. "Being able to get up close to the characters, weapons, and vehicles of the Warcraft world, and go inside buildings like the aviary and goblin workshop, was such a fun experience," he said." But the art was only serviceable, hardly great, and their changes would've made for okay puzzles, but certainly nothing that stood out from the other adventure games of 1997.
Still, with a potential roadmap for improvement, Blizzard took the unfinished build and those plans to E3. And that would prove to be the end.
"Someone called me, I think it was Bill, to let me know," Meretzky recalled. "He said that they'd shown the game around at E3 to a select group of people they trusted, and the consensus was that it was so far below Blizzard standards, that even with the improvements we'd designed, it still wouldn't be good enough to release. They decided that their choices were to invest a LOT more in the game, or kill it, and then decided to kill it. ... I think Blizzard made the right decision to not release the game, although it made me sad at the time. It wasn't a triple-A-quality game, and Blizzard was known for triple-A games. I'm sure it was a hard decision for them to make. They loved adventure games and wanted to make one, but instead had to kill their baby."

Is this still available for download anywhere? I wouldn't mind checking it out at some point.

I'm sure it's somewhere, but you might have trouble finding it.
Just in case you find a copy and want to validate whether it's the same file as was originally posted, the md5sum was aad362ab6fa74ffde9211f84570831df.

Here's an updated link.

Thanks TerminX, at least I've got something to work with now if I do discover it somewhere. 
Edit: Man you guys are quick! I''ll give the link a shot.
Edit 2: It seems to require bitcoin to be able to download, which I don't have, unless I'm doing something wrong here.

You can't download it until someone buy some "credited traffic" for that file, since its "Current available traffic" isn't enough for download now.

Sorry about that. When I had tried that link a month or so ago that wasn't the case. Luckily the file's now hosted over at Archive.org.

Warcraft II is one of my favourite games, and I would probably enjoy Warcraft Adventures it it were to come out in the 90s as originally intended, even though the genre isn't exactly my cup of tea. Now, I'm unsure, and not very excited about it (I've heard about this leak a while ago).
