hooray for subscription to icefrogs blog :P surprised not more people have hopped on this

and i'm surprised a pricing quote wasn't included in the Q&A, although I'm sure he was spammed with that email - even though it's too early to tell.

LOL, I actually checked DotA2.com a while back and one of my questions for the Q&A was, "I've noticed Dota2.com isn't taken, is playdota.com going to be the website for DotA2, or should I register that now?"

in b4 free to play with buyable heroes.

srsly though, this is one of the two games i would call day one purchases in the next year.

the Q&A stuff looks exciting as well, you can see direct jabs at the important questions blizzard short-sightedly did not address like resume support, resolving lag issues(if you live in NZ and play on SEA, you know what I mean), and region lock.

Yeah, seems like every game that I want to play will get released at the same time. Will I play dota2, diablo3 or starcraft 2? Maybe I won't play at all!

from l4d's developer commentary though, we know that valve is one of the best developers when it comes to understanding the importance of suitable graphics in gameplay. Based on this I think we can rest assured that it will have the least 'messy' graphics of all dota clones.

Haha, that's pretty cool, if you're a player who for whatever reason hates the laning phase, just join a game that's already pretty far in.

^ HoN's true hook right now is the 'Dream' hero creator. at least that's the way i see it. With these two titans having a throwdown over DotA right now, that's the only thing stopping them being swept away.

Admiral, it's a FAP!

No, seriously, fucking awesome! I can't wait till it's released. Though I gotta say, no buyable heroes. It's gay. And also, no "Valve" time please. Give the community a real release date.

the only thing im worried about is that this might make leavers think leaving is ok...... like "ILL JUST LEAVE BC SOMEONE COULD TAKE MY PLACE" or "I CAN LEAVE BC BLAH BLAH BLAH" i hope they come up with a way to punish leavers. punish them hard. unless u sub in someone directly like a friend or something.
