    A moba is a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. They're also known as dota games.

    its the other word for dota-like :p and stands for "Multiplayer Online Battle Arena" (wikipedia).

    I am really not interested in this game, busy enough with dota and lol and that action view seems strange to me: it looks like some WoW PvP

    I think there's already a 3rd person type moba on steam called Monday Night-something-something.

    I remember watching the gameplay videos and it looked like a cross between DotA and Team Fortress.

    I posted this on Reddit, but since the most recent patch, anyone can invite people to Smite (no keys necessary). Just use the "Send Beta Key" button in game. If you're still looking for beta access, feel free to PM me your email address for an invite.

    Smite is now in open beta, meaning anyone can play for free! Extremely fun game imo.
