Most dotA player Ignorance ..

I saw many filipinos believing that dotA and warcraft3 are the same, so what do you think on how to educate them and persuade to play warcraft 3 melee maps or other custom maps ..

Make the official Warcraft 3 free and make them get it. Then, they will understand DotA isn't everything. Or you can campaign throughout Garena, Gameranger, social networks, forums and what not.

In all seriousness though, I don't think we can do anything about it to notice a significant change without putting time and effort into our proposal.

Its because of how they portray the game, the render of the bigger picture becomes void, thus dissociating the mass from the actual story or criteria.

I remembered Warcraft III did not became a good pop-culture among the filipino community or in the Philippines back 2000-circa 2004 (yeah, my psychic mind can travel through the globe with the blink of an eye), its mostly the rising peak of Ragnarok, Counter Strike 1.3, and the conflict boom fest of Battle Realms and StarCraft and other more. And through gameplay, they rely or turn into "Pioneers", its a gaming slang from a filipino RPG that means "players stay long, true and locked into a specific game"

When Dota 1 was in its younger stages, it started out as a free-time playable custom maps, while it keeps updating and more people are getting along with it, that is were the game diffuses the original from the custom.

I first played Dota when I was like 10 that time and I'm proud to say that I never thought Dota is War3 because I finished RoC and TfT campaign before finding Dota! .\,,/ yeah bitches!

So fucking true, I spent my childhood days with this games a lot specially Battle Realms and Ragnarok.

Battle Realms hated my computer... I always get a BSOD when playing it...

Warcraft wasn't big back in '04 since it was already the age of the MMORPG games, everyone was playing Ragnarok, Ran, Flyff, Mu, Rose, Tantra, Gunbound, etc... and WC3 wasn't given much love. I remember back then that whenever we asked kuya bantay if they had dota, the reply was always "Ano yun?". That was back when the recipes were still called 'tissues' lovingly lol.

Yeah, we always played FFT on Big Game Hunters every weekend lol. That was the time when starcraft made PC's hang lolol.
