BUFFMEPLZ IS THE OFFICIAL MAKER OF THE FAMOUS "AI" OF DOTA SINCE THE PAST TWO YEARS AND HE RECENTLY POSTED ON HIS BLOG THAT HE'S NOT GOING TO PUBLISH AI MAPS ANYMORE. THIS IS A VERY SAD NEWS FOR ALL THE FANS OF DOTA AI.

THE MESSAGE OF 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'PUBLISH POSTRE 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 AIDEVELOPMENT 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 HE MENTIONED ABEVE, HE WILL BE ASKING GOD-TONY (KILLERBEE) TO TAKE ON HIS POSITION AND LET'S HOPE THAT GOD-TONY WILL BE THE NEXT FUTURE MAKER OF THE DOTA AI MAPS. AGAIN TNX FOR UR TWO YEARS OF NON-STOP SUPPORT FOR US BMP! GOD BLESS U IN UR LIFE.)
