Hey ya'll. There's a new game in the works called Heroes of Newerth that's currently in beta and I've got a couple spare keys just lying around so I figured I'd hand em out at my favorite gaming site. I'd prefer to give them away to people who'd actually use em considering the game is really fun and these keys seem to be in short supply.
Pretty much the game is an updated clone of DotA w/Ice Frog's blessings. If anyone is interested please post in here with a quick why and I'll give what I can to the first couple who seem genuinely interested.
Great croud here =)

New DotA Game Beta Keys
Hello, i've been playing DotA with my friends for a long time and now, when i saw HoN, think this game can replace DotA. I watched videos on youtube and they were really good! Please, give me a beta-key to test this game! I have much free time to play it! Some of my friends have already got the beta-keys and i want to join them to test this game altogether! Please, sent me a beta-key! My e-mail: tf-91@mail.ru
I'd been interested in getting one. A bunch of kids I know play it, and I have no idea what they're talking about when they talk about it. I would be interested in playing something other than Battlefield Heroes all day too. I don't know how many you have left though.
Been playing Dota for a long time :P i also know one of the guys who made it
if you do have any Keys left send one my way :D

Done and done. I've still got a couple more laying around, I'll be sure to check back tomorrow sometime.
This is a PC game demo and you download the thing to your HD and play it after creating an account w/the key you receive in the mail. If you've posted ur e-mail and haven't received the key, then there's a good chance it's in your junk filter.
You can go ahead and add me to ur friends list if you want. My account name is, surprise, Fobwashed. I've also got some friends who play that wouldn't mind showing you the ropes if you're on and don't know what's going on. For now actually, just add Deybwah, the rest of my friends are kinda dicks.
Hope you have fun. Oh, btw, try not to disconnect even if you're doing bad. The game keeps track of how many games you leave and everyone can see your leave percentage and if it's high, you'll get booted from future games. And be wary of games that are titled "noobs" or such. Be sure to check stats before the game starts because a lot of those games are started by ppl who know how to play that just want to pad their stats.
Have fun!

Seriously, HoN is a 99% rip of DotA. Sure it's a good game consider that you don't need WC3 to play it, but com on. At least LoL will be just based on the DotA style, not a complete rip of. And LoL is also made by people who have worked on DotA before. The better versions.
hey man i love dota and cant seem 2 get my hands on a key whch led my search here much abliged for the help email me @ bmz_ohio@yahoo.com
Guys, I'm in both the Heroes of Newerth (HoN) and League of Legends (LoL) Betas, and while I can't go into specifics due to NDA's, I can say that my gut says that LoL is the better game.
Right now HoN is just a straight-up rip-off of DotA... and why would I pay for it when I can just play DotA? LoL, on the other-hand, plays more fresh and I just like the stylized graphics more as well. Also, the Developers of LoL actually play games with us, are super fucking nice, and actually listen to us hardcore DotA players for advice. Lastly, I just feel really disconnected from the HoN Beta community (probably cause there's over 30,000+ of these motherfuckers "testing" in Beta right).
I may hand-over my HoN Beta to someone, if it's allowed (not like anyone will care), but I'm going to give it a few more builds to see where it goes.
I will say though, that even in Beta, they both kick the shit out of Demigod. That game was a steaming pile of crap.
iGames is also going to be offering up a beta for HoN, so check with your local iGames-related gaming center or visit http://www.igames.org to find out if your local center will be featuring the game.
Not only will that help build a bigger community for it, but it'll give you a chance to check it out.
Haven't checked here in a while. If anyone is still interested, I've got plenty more to go around. I think as the game is nearing release they're upping the amount of keys they're making available to us to hand out.
In any case, anyone who's interested shoot me a PM or go ahead and post in here and I'll try to send em out in a timely fashion.

Alright, sent out another batch. Once you're in the beta, you periodically get keys to give out yourself. Share the love!
I've got like 6 friends playing and that's how I have all these keys to send out to others.
I think I got everyone covered, if you want some for your friends, you don't need to make new accounts and ask for them under different names, just give me the e-mail addys you want them sent to and I'll go ahead and give em out if I've got em =P
Have fun and I'll check back here in a few to see if anyone else requested.
