In a few months time, S2 will be announcing/releasing an expansion for Heroes of newerth. In this expansion S2 will be littering you with a new client. The expansion will cost an estimated value of $15 to S20 USD. In between the period of now and then, S2 is marketability preparing legacy users with Early Access by giving them the process of "Purchasing for the use of a hero".

The core ideal with this expansion is to bring legacy players at the same level with previous free to play users. S2's speculation is to remove legacy players ownership of all the playable heroes and bring them to the same level as free to play users. Although everyone will have the ability to play an endless amount of games, you will have to purchase every hero with the only exception being that you will not have to re-purchase skins.



Surprising? Nope.

brush up on the FAQ small son

Q. I already paid for HoN! Was my money wasted now that it's Free-to-Play?

Not at all! Legacy accounts are now a rarity, part of our old business model – you're getting additional new content (outside of any potential pay for content expansions) for free, which is a perk no longer available to new accounts whom have to unlock new content.


I wouldn't put it past them. You make bank when you first go to pay for power. After a while the player base resents the game. Could be a sign that dota 2 beta is coming soon.
