Playing it now. Wish I could say more.
http://heroesofnewerth.com -- a linux client is coming as reported on Slashdot Game News
The article is light on details but I quite enjoy Demigod (a game in the same vein) yet I would much rather play it on linux. Hope this will satisfy my Demigod fix ... must click click click.
Playing it now. Wish I could say more.
I am also looking forward to that game. Just a few days ago if found out, that the dota team is doing a game their self, i was quite unhappy that they dont seem to be interested in a linux port (while mac users might be lucky).
BUT now i am happy xD always loved dota (and wc3 in general)
checking the whole net to get a beta key xD... lets see ^^
They've mentioned on their facebook page that once they get 10,000 fans they'll open up the beta testing to everyone that is a fan of HoN.

Discussions about HoN are also allowed now but no media.
Finally I have a couple of invites if anyones interested, pm me with an email addr. that I can use to send out the invite to.

Edit: All my invites are gone. Have fun with the beta!
P.S.:
So it is quite a nice game, and runs without a hitch on Linux already. However for me personally it is maybe a but too close to DOTA (even graphically). And it is really annoying that you currently have to wait for 10 players to join a server.All HoN testers free to talk about HoN
All participants in the HoN beta test now have express permission from S2 Games to communicate and discuss Heroes of Newerth publicly. This includes forum discussions and talking to friends and family. Our embargo on media relating to HoN (videos, screenshots) is still in full effect and we'd kindly ask our testers not to disclose any game related media to those not actively in the Heroes of Newerh Beta.

i'm also interested in having a key too...
thanks
@Julius: You still got Keys? I'd really like to try this, since I used to play Dota quite a lot.
@topic: Looks almost like they took Dota 1:1 and added fancier graphics. But I've already read on some other sites that there are presumably more maps than just the classical Dota one, so I'm looking very much forward to this game.![]()
