Hey guys,

Would anyone like to play a round of Dota, or Dota 2 with me? just let me know when you think you have time.

I might, but first you would have to tell me what dota is. :P

Defence of the Ancients.

The game that made the MoBA genre of gaming. games like LoL and HAN are off-shoot variations of the game.

Dota was originally made as a mod to warcraft III: (and can be played in Frozen Throne expansion) by blizzard(a gaming company).
Dota 2 is a standalone game made by Valve(another gaming company).

Both games can be played for free at this point in time.

At some point in the future Valve could add some kind of cost-structure to dota2 I guess.

Ill play.

k, the old warcraft III version first than? Would probably be the quickest to download.

the dota maps can be found here: http://www.getdota.com/

And you can get probably get warcraft III from anywhere you like.

i have warcraft 3 at home but i broke my CD >.<

ive installed it before since i broke it but its a bit of a faff

which games are free? LoL and HAN?

I have LoL as i said in a previous post, depending on what you want to play on would make a difference to how easy it is for me to join you, but im up for it if i can find time - been very busy recently :/

Wtf, never new valve did dota2 lool.

yeah the warcraft 3 version I'd say. Colt's downloading it, so we'll be able to get a small group together, and can just play through IP connection.

1 important thing though is that we'll need the same (patch version) as well. if we can't all use 1.26a it could also be a problem. I'm pretty sure I can get a 1.24a version installed too, but would prefer the 1.26a, as that's the standard patch these days.

how to dl dota 2 mate? its only add to wish list on my valve... they delayed it?? or what? i see on there main website it talks about updates so i was guessin it was already out?
