An odd problem
Here's the deal... you want to play DotA, you have your cd-key ready, your frozen throne is patched, banlist is up, and you've got the latest map from getdota.com. The only problem? You're in China.
Okay let's get it straight. Yes, people have computers in China. Yes, people play DotA in China, probably better than you (thanks to the pan-asian gaming skills)! BUT, no one in China has an actual legit, paid version of Warcraft 3!
It's kind of weird being the odd man out. I paid to play the game, but can't find any other players.. lol. Where are all the DotA players you wonder? Well here's how you do it. In china, because everyone pirates their games, everyone plays using a VPN client called G-arena to set up games over Local Area Network. It's really slick actually. And actually way better than playing games on battle.net due to the built-in banlist and reputation counter. Also, you can chat with your fellow gamers using the G-arena client so if your connection/VPN drops, they'll know that it wasn't your fault.
So now you know...
