BuffMePlz Retires From Developing DotA AI Maps!

BuffMePlz, The DotA AI Map developer has recently announced on his blog that he will no longer be developing AI maps. This is a very sad news for the DotA community as he was the AI Map developer who was keeping the DotA AI versions alive for the past two years. He did a tremendous job for the DotA fans and we thank him for it & good luck for his future!

Here is the last update from BuffMePlz:
After much thought and consideration, I have decided to no longer continue my work on DotA AI maps. Between my increased work responsibilities, advancing on to the next stage of life, my waning interest in DotA, and the frustration from both dealing with the community's demands and the community having to deal with my absences, I believe it is best for me to let this project go and move on.

It was a fun two years, with updates on almost every version since 6.49 (we're up to 6.66b now, crazy!), but as lazyfiend/RGB said when he left, I find that working on this map is no longer enjoyable to me, and is in fact quite a burden.

I've contacted GoD-Tony (killerbee) about taking over, and if he decides to, I'll try to help him get up to speed as much as possible. If not, I hope whomever takes my place will have as much fun as I did these past two years learning the ins and outs of JASS and the WC3 engine.

My passion has always been with the Fun Taverns, and though I will not continue AI development I may occasionally release some maps on my blog with old heroes and/or original creations, so feel free to visit and leave comments for me here.

Thanks for the fun times guys!
As you can read above, he metioned that he will ask GoD-Tony (killerbee) to carry on with the DotA AI. We hope that someone will take BuffMePlz's place & start developing the DotA 6.67c AI & DotA 6.68 AI Map.

Again, Thanks BMP for a great time!

Update: Harreke, The New AI developer.

I know ur burden man,,
makin' AI is so frustating but u still can make good AI even only with that JASS..

I respect ur work for this 2 years.. Ur AI is a good place for me to try new hero n new skill without being afraid to be called a "noob" (it's happen if u try it in BNet :D)

btw,,thx for all of time that u used to make Dota community better n better.. Great Job BMP

I have been waiting silently for months.

The fact is that most of those IDIOTs are making map makers suffer, keep begging them to make maps asap.

BuffMePlz, well done, I understand what kind of pressure you are facing, consider the fact that WE ARE GETTING MORE and MORE TERRIBLE people on Earth who are EXTREMELY SELFISH and INCONSIDERATE.

Look at the kids now! Those are the sources of trouble! Those are the noob players/leavers etc. There are less reasonable players in dota. Some players just started with GG then left after his first death.

Honestly, I have stopped playing DoTA for a while already. Seeing more and more UNFRIENDLY and AGGRESIVE players, this game is being torn apart (I still remember the good old days when players would suggest ways to improve instead of blaming one another for being stupid, EVERYONE WAS ONCE A NOOB, no one was born to be the pro of all pro)

If IceFrog is going to stop making DoTA, let it be, there is no point in answering ALL THOSE INCONSIDERATE PEOPLE. IceFrog gets nothing for making the map and why he should get the blame if he can make the map on time? (He DOESN'T get PAID!!!!!!)

Try making your own map whiners (I've tried it out and I CAN GURANTEE THAT IT'S NO EASY JOB)! Beggers should go begging on streets not on Internet.

(I would have been using TONs of not-so-nice language if I were BuffMePlz) (Why should he be so nice to apologize? HE DID NOTHING WRONG)

Any retards would still complain BuffMePlz for resigning, we all should boo that person off stage.

very sad news, i personally feel that BMP help me a lot...

and for you all who can't appreciate BMP, if you talk like that, can you make the AI yourself, do you know how hard it is, do you know how hard to make AI who think like human?? and he(BMP) always said that AI can't be as good as human, think it over, appreciate him for what he had done, you all just leeching for him., i don't care who you are, are you a big fat boy with your dick standing out, but for your record, BMP has done a great job, even a greatest master of DOTA itself will longing for him..

BMP did a great job.. because of him,, I was able to play dota.. good job for BMP.... why should he be blamed when hes done nothing wrong?.. Ive decided.. if ever therell be a clan on GG or BattleNet ,, i hope there would be a clan named after BMP.. id be glad to join.. and to the Haters, most of them are the greedy losers or should i say... the FDQ's.. first death quitters... My GG name is 102292.. and i challenge those haters.. I promise those haters theyre not going to enjoy
