Had his dog run over by Blizzard's CEO
"10000"
{
"name" "Free Trial Premium Upgrade"
"prefab" "dota_player_item"
"item_class" "upgrade"
"item_type_name" "#DOTA_Item"
"item_name" "#DOTA_Trial_UpgradeItem"
"show_in_armory" "0"
}

Was added in the patch.

what does this mean? they thinking about experimenting with premium items? or am I misunderstanding?

It essentially confirmed F2P and implies its system will work like TF2 where free accounts are 'limited' and premium ones can access every feature of the game.

Since when does TF2 operate like that?

Since it went free to play. You don't get hat drops if you don't have a premium account. You buy something from the Mann Co. Store, you have a premium account. If you owned the game before the F2P update, you automatically have a premium account. If you buy a hard copy in stores, it's a premium account too.

"That's not what miggel wanted" up there with "Doom is back run, run" in hilarious dota 2 commentary history. Need a sound clip of it asap. Really bad Pudge play here, must make you cringe Milkman.

that's a bit oversimplifying the process, methinks. I mean, it's not like you actually get anything by having paid for it. Just the option for things, some of which you still have to pay for (fuck those keys).

It's really not analogous to two tiers of players...

You can't trade on a free account.....That's a pretty big deal to some people.
 
There really should be a glossary for all of the terminology and acronyms used in this game. Who wants to take on that task? It sure would be helpful for players new to this genre.
