sure, play some dota, the more people playing the more likely it'll still be active when i have time to play it again

DotA -> WoW -> Pokemon -> LEGO -> Origami

Don't do that, or you're doomed.

DotA to me isn't the game I would set devotion time aside for everyday. But it is a nice saturday/holiday matinee.

Do not buy Warcraft 3 to play a 2 hour boring fest. Seriously. Play starcraft again or stop playing video games all together, both are wise choices.

Problem is, majority of the places sell the pack together. Although it's been awhile since i've purchased a new game, I don't recall stand-alone Reign of chaos for sale. It's all been the WarIII/Frozen Throne packs. I would like just the stand alone as well, seeing as I have two Frozen Throne keys but no Reign of chaos.

Would you care to elaborate on that, please? I only recently started playing DotA (~1 month now, strictly for fun), but I'm getting sick and tired of the leavers and the mass BMs I get in pub / allstars channel games...I was thinking about stopping completely, if my friends wouldn't be playing with me ocassionally...

DotA is fun if you're playing with a group you know. Otherwise, every pub always has some jackass who won't shut up (like this one kid I laned with once who blamed me for everything, including his own mistakes) or people who leave in -ar's because they didn't get the hero they wanted, or people who leave after getting absolutely owned two minutes into the game which then ruins it for everyone else.

I have more fun playing bots. They're better than pub players, they don't complain, and they don't leave. I say play DotA if you have people to play with, otherwise just go back to owning progamers.

There's also not much money in being a DotA pro as compared to a Starcraft pro T_T

Although DotA is fun

www.dotapickup.com

join #dotapickup.euro on IRC Quakenet (same as #teamliquid) and follow the steps you get pmd to sign up. Leavers and flamers get banned... It takes a bit of work to get signed up (They have to auth you), but it's so worth it.
