Hi,
I have created a czech fansite, it's quite popular among czech players.
http://www.heroesofnewerth.cz/
The problem is many more players, usually quite experienced from DotA, want to try HoN. And when they can't get HoN invite they usually get LoL (League of Legends or so) invite and play LoL.
What do I have to do so S2Games will give me some more beta keys? I would send them to czech (ans slovak) players to increase the czech player base (which is unfortunately not so big now).
Another question: what do I have to do so this site will become "official"?
And I would like to let people download the game client and listen to the in-game music, but I am not sure if it isn't against the ToS, copyright or something like that. I think S2Games should approve this first, but they don't communicate. I realize they have a lot of work with the game, but don't forget the players, they are also important!
Also I have some questions concerning translation (which is complete, but some characters are missing and updating is quite difficult).
I would really appreciate if S2Games could communicate with players, especially with those "important" ones who translate the game, have fansites or help to improve the game in any other way.

PS: I wonder, does anyone from S2Games read the forums or is this post worthless?

It will be, at least until this disappears:


The site is currently not available due to technical problems. Please try again later. Thank you for your understanding.

the webhosting provider was updating MySQL database, he didn't tell me in advance, i was suprised too. because this site uses Drupal, it requires database to work. and so does phpBB forum. but now updating is finished, everything is fine already.

Well, fair enough, more than a thousand forum users.

Still, the domain is not even a month old, I think you should wait a little more until you file requests like this one. Or is this really (don't get me wrong ^^) the whole Czech community?

there are over one thousand posts in the forum, just about one and half hundred users (but this number increases every day).

i think this is not the whole czech community, but i rarely meet a czech player who doesn't know about this site. and if i meet such player, i tell him about that site immediately.
but yes, czech community is quite small and that's why i want some beta keys, to increase the czech community.

and that domain is about one and half month old, but does it really matter? i think this site is better and contains more information than most of the HoN fansites i have seen.

PS: use google translator if you browse this site, it's not perfect but it should give you an idea what is written there.
