The Heroes of Newerth Beta is no secret any more as people are breaking the NDA left. This is partially related to the fact that they’ve been opening up the beta more and more, I have now seen over six thousand people on at one time. Games went from 2-3 a weeknight to 85+. S2 Games have stated that they’re stress testing the server and are releasing more beta keys to the existing players and publicly to every dumb mother fucker on the face of this earth. They don’t even have replays in the beta yet and they gave away 700 to gamereplays.org.

Now that everyone can pretty much be in the beta if they want too we now have even bigger assholes that are selling beta keys? The auction has ended now and I don’t know if it’s because they’ve actually been sold or S2 had ebay shut it down.. but I can’t fathom anyone wanting to pay money to play an unfinished game. Heroes of Newerth still has a huge bug list, balancing issues, sound problems, usability issues, new heroes need to be added and game mechanics tweaked… and you want to pay 15 bucks to deal with that?
