The Origin of Mobile Legends

You must hear the term MOBA?
What do you think it means?
 Then, how the history until the genre MOBA can be as popular now?
 No more daze! This is the history of MOBA games that you should know!

MOBA is an extension of Multiplayer Online Battle Kancah. Literally, it can be termed a battle in an arena run by some players online. Sounds weird? Such is the case, because until now the term "MOBA" is still being debated by some people, where they prefer to apply the term ARTS (Action Real Time Strategy).

Why do the pros and cons of terms that applied such things? Such things will be discussed in the next session. But the answer of such a thing will be seen by re-opening the history of MOBA game to find out!

If we pull back far, the history of MOBA game actually pioneered from the genre RTS (Real Time Strategy) which attracted it had begun before the 90's! One of the "fathers" of the RTS game itself is Herzog Zwei which was launched in 1989 for the Sega console.

Herzog Zwei's own game does have some elements of MOBA, in which we play a unit and aims to destroy the enemy headquarters assisted by some units controlled by AI (artificial intelligence).

The next development of MOBA game history took place nine years after Herzog Zwei, where Future Cop game: LAPD was released for Sony PlayStation in 1998. The advantages of this game are compared to Herzog Zwei is the use of a symmetrical map, controlled units have different abilities, as well as the ability to collect various power-ups and objectives from the map.

In the same year, Blizzard launched one of the most popular RTS games, is Starcraft for PC. Armed with the ability to create a custom map, a player named Aeon64 embodies the Aeon of Strife folder which first tells how to map with three different lanes. Aeon of Strife is considered the forerunner of modern MOBA game that we know now.

The popularity of Aeon of Strife continues with the history of the next MOBA game rolling when Warcraft III appeared: Reign of Chaos in 2002. Armed with Warcraft III World Editor, Eul embodies the first custom map given the name Defense of the Ancient (DOTA), referring to Aeon of Strife.

It was not until 2003 in the release of Warcraft III: Frozen Throne, a modeler named Median trying to combine various DOTA folders and name DotA Allstars containing various heroes from DOTA map types ever produced in 2002.

DotA Allstars exploded and became really popular in his time. At this spot, one of the most important figures in the history of the MOBA game is Steve "Guinsoo" Feak who at that time agreed to optimize the DotA Allstars folder with the method of realizing new heroes as well as improving the game.

The popularity of DotA Allstars is increasing as Guinsoo left when IceFrog took over the development. In the IceFrog era, DotA Allstars has been played by a million people every day!
