Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Heroes of Newerth or HoN is a team-based strategic multiplayer game where you assume the role of a hero on the Legionnaire or Hellbourne alliance. The game is currently in closed-beta and is largely based on the popular Warcraft III custom map Defense of the Ancients, making several improvements in match making, graphics, hosting, and support.
The game runs on Windows, MAC OSX, and Linux.
IMPORTANT: For those of you in the beta, feel free to TALK in this thread, but kindly post no screenshots or link to videos. Savage has asked that we refrain from such activities at this time, and it's in our interests to comply and not get several of us kicked from the Beta.

Thanks guys!
I haven't actually tried the beta yet either.
I guess if we can get a bunch of PAers it'll give me a good reason to try it out.
So first 13 to PM me.
Protip, putting your email in this thread is just asking to get spammed by bots.

I haven't played DotA ever! I've only watched it.
So you're better off than I am.
PM if you need a key. One per costumer and you can't be a lurker/new account.
EDIT: 4 keys remaining.
EDIT: 2 keys remaining.
I never asked for this!
S2 gave everyone in the beta 3 keys today it looks like, so many of us have keys available.
I never asked for this!

would be fun to give this a try. I plan on playing League of Legends when it comes out as well.
Also, built in voice chat means you can be called names in a dozen languages, and with such colourful accents. Good times.
@page- you know, if i could get some people from new zealand in there bitching me out about how suck i am, i wouldn't care, because i'd be laughing so hard the tears would prevent me from even playing :lol:
/played WoW with a group from NZ, it was freakin hilarious to listen to their conversations.
I gotta say, this is exactly how I would describe my experience in playing DOTA. bravo sir... i've been chortling to myself for the last 10 minutes thinking about it.
I'm glad there is some form of match making.
I love how earthshacker got replaced by Behemoth, which was the siege unit of the beasts in Savage 1. I just noticed that now.
I did think it was funny that some of the heroes are so similar that people actually refer to them as the names of their dota counterparts. I guess its a matter of matching up who is who in the new visual style. The interface seems strong at a first glance, albeit a bit confusing.
I never got WC3 so I missed out on DoTA, but it always looked interesting. Plus I always was a fan of the savage series.
e:got one!
