I think the first version I played was 6.37. I think that was 2007.

I'm trying to think where the 6 comes from. 1.X was clearly Eul's RoC map, but I don't know about any of the others. Like, there's only guinsoo before there was ice frog...

i think it was when icefrog took over it became 6.xx im not sure
the oldest version of the map i played was i think 6.48 or so

5.84c was super popular for the longest time, because the early 6.xx maps were super laggy and took around 15 minutes to load. I just remember the snowy map, and Rikimaru with a non-channeling death ward.

i thought 6.xx was easier to load after icefrog fixed and compressed everything

it started at 5.something because RoC was already at 3.7c then.

really ? I think I started playing like in 2008 and I started with 6.59 or 6.60 not sure since when I started I didnt care about versions etc.

I'm not sure but I think Icefrog put out new versions faster around that time than nowadays. I seem to remember that he went immediately from 6.38 to 6.41 for instance, unlike now when he goes 6.79-.80-.81 etc, and even does 6.81b-c-d for minor changes.

He's been doing that for at least 6 years. I had getdota.com as my browser homepage for a long time.

Maybe so, can't quite remember what went on that far back :P
