Have you ever wish you could launch a DOTA game or play any Warcraft III custom game from your web browser? You dont have to wish no more! Because this wish of yours has been turned to reality, now you and you friends can play DOTA right from your browser, be it on a Windows PC or Mac. This new game-client system is called DotaPod, which means DOTA-Play-On-Demand. Dotapod is created from the makers of Zion, they’ve built DotaPod so you and your friends can have the games that make a difference to you, every day. It’s easy to use, plus step-by-step help guides to get you started.

It works just like any other form of game client, such as Zion, Garena, Battle.net, LANCraft, Battle.Lan or Farsight. Just that this client loads from a web browser, saving you all the hassle of installing all these other forms of game clients, also for those of you who do not like to install too many things on your PC just to get you going for a game of DOTA. Below are the requirements of running this client on your web-browser.

  • Java JRE 5 (1.6+) with Java Web Start. (Download Java | Do I have Java?)
  • Modern web browser – Internet Explorer, Firefox recommended.
  • Internet connection – broadband is best.
  • For smooth gameplay we recommend a computer with at least a 1GHz processor, 256 MB RAM and of course a copy of the Warcraft III: TFT game.

The good thing here is you can host multiple games at once and you dont need to have a  valid CD-Key. One more cool thing about DotaPod is that they have a tracking system for you to track your gameplay, so you will know your wins, losses and more statistics about yourself than you can imagine. Share & compare them with your friends world-wide!

I have tested Dotapod out myself and found it very useful to have quick games with friends. This system is very user friendly and easy to use. If you still need help on running it, worry not they do have a comprehensive guide here to help you out else you could find help through the forums which they provided as well!

Now head over to DotaPod.com to give it a try. If you already have a Zion account you need not have to register again, you can login right away and play. Please also bear with them because they are still in beta stages, trying to fix bugs and latency issues.
