A staple in the DotA community is shut down and plastered with ads for League of Legends, a giant fuck you to anyone invested in DotA. This is what fuels our hate of not necessarily League of Legends but how it is run. Dota 2 begins production soon after.Įarly 2010 Heroes of Newerth is released, Allstars is dropped from the filenames for DotA, Icefrog is still developing content for DotA, Eul is hired by Valve. Soon after, Valve approaches IceFrog about creating a sequel to DotA Allstars titled, Dota 2. The DotA Community is alright with this, because they had input on the game, early beta access, and enjoyed the idea of a new ARTS/MOBA.
Late 2009, League of Legends is released, is used to advertise the game, offering perks to people coming from the site. and become the major hubs for DotA as well as his blog,. League of Legends Beta is given to users of the website and asked for their input.Įarly 2009 Demigod is released, the first commercial ARTS to be introduced to the market. They ask for his permission to develop a game based on their previous Newerth games, but in an ARTS/MOBA setting. I'd imagine also around this time Pendragon was hired on, but maybe it was some time later.Įarly 2007, Icefrog is approached to work on Heroes of Newerth, a game heavily influenced by DotA. DotA Allstars appears at Blizzcon as well, popularizing it even further.ĭotA is being developed by Icefrog, Pendragon, Guinsoo, Eul, etc until Guinsoo leaves the team to work for Riot Games. Jump forward to mid 2006, IceFrog takes over development of DotA Allstars and has since been in control until this day. Eul then declares Reign of Chaos DotA Open Source.ĭ, the site that later causes drama between DotA fans and Pendragon, which ultimately fuels the feud between us DotA/Dota 2 fans and League of Legends, is launched becoming the main hub for anyone playing DotA style games. In late 2004 Eul and another developer, Song, release Dota 2: Thirst for Gamma which flops in a few months. Guinsoo takes to refining DotA Allstars and releases his own version DotA Allstars. Time goes on and eventually we see Guinsoo take to the scene and help with the development as well as some other less known developers that release DotA Allstars, Meian and Ragn0r. These versions include DOtA DX, DotA Allstars, DotA Outland, TFT DotA, DotA EX, etc.
In early 2003, Eul released Defense of the Ancients, Eul as many may know works at Valve now along with Icefrog whom we'll talk about later.Īs time progresses, more people jump on to help develop DotA and even create their own versions, Eul also toys around with other versions, faster paced games, etc.
#Aeon of strife mod#
When Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos was released in 2002 there was an AoS mod released for it but it didn't do too well. That was the originally created by user Aeon64, and I believe that game was handed off to someone else that later worked on DotA but I'm not too sure. In 1998 there was Aeon of Strife for Starcraft.
