Bad move s2.
You wanna expand? Expand with your own legs.
Buy a office in Korea and another in LA and host your own game there. If you look for excellence do it yourself instead of renting sub companies that will not deliver the same product standarts that you care so much about it. Also, you state that you are becoming a large game company... first look around you, to the others large game companies on the market... They all have region servers to better attend their costumers but NONE OF THEM force you to play on a specific server by ip blockin you from all others.
As a HoN Beta Player I must say I still really enjoy playing this game but within this 2 years I kept gettin more and more disappointed with the decisions that s2 makes to "manage" it.
Languague barriers?
You have to come with something better than that... Canadians speak English and French are you going to release another 2 servers for them also? I have friends from Miami who cant barely speak english... dont they diserve a sub spanish server in United States? Brazilians speak portuguese and not spanish and they represent 40% of South America! But creating servers with people who ONLY speak spanish is ok, right? What about making a server where Spain can play with latin america cuz they are the only one in Europe talkin in Spanish!
Wake up S2 we live in GLOBALIZED world.
Finally but not least... Ip blocks? Shame on you s2.

S2 should make Customs maps for validated accounts only and let the community create maps for people to play.You would see a lot more accounts becoming validated. TD maps,Hero Defenses, Survival maps AND SOOO MUCH MORE could be added to the HoN world.S2 underestimates how popular and sustainable HoN would become if they supported custom maps.It would bring a new player base back to the game and many more validated accounts.
Marketing & E-Sport: The Korean and Latin American competitive gaming scenes are about to find out what Heroes of Newerth is all about. We will be better able to reach out to gamers on a global scale and foster growth in the HoN community. Gamers in both regions can expect localized tournaments and prize pools that will dominate some of the most emergent E-Sport markets in gaming......................................... WHEN IS NORTH AMERICA GONNA FIND OUT ??????????????????????
And thanks for letting me know i wont be able to play with ANY of my South American friends.

Anyone else not following their logic here? By segregating the players, seperating friends and preventing them from playing with each other, is going to improve their HoN experience? Since it's a team based game, am big chunk of the player base are playing the game solely on the fact that their friends are playing it. Your move is really counter productive, to be honest.Originally Posted by xanderK
Sure, I get that you want to spread the scene, but was this really the most efficient way to do so, though? If there's a lot of people playing the same game, the word will spread and more players would eventually join in. I can buy that. But in all honesty, why would you region lock it? It goes against all sense and logic why you wouldn't have the option to choose whether to be locked or not. You can clearly see in the comments that there are always people disagreeing or agreeing on this, which would mean that if you would have an option to be locked or not, there'd still be people choosing to be locked. And the rest will still enjoy playing with their friends. That's a textbook win/win situation in my eyes.
The scene will spread and thrive, you'll get more players in, and cut the bullsh*t, you'll get more out of it. Financially speaking. "It's about improving their HoN experience and growing the scene in those areas. More HoN players is nothing but a good thing!" - reeks of greed. I'm not complaining though, I'm sure you could use it. More tourneys and more competative play.
My two cents.
So now most players on Latin american server will speak Portuguese? may i ask why spain is not getting moved, makes sense because they speak spanish too...
I'm done. Just done.
Huge mistake, bye s2.
Hey S2, are you there? What about the answers?
When will be the release date?
There is something no one is taking on consideration about the Latin American IP Block: Axeso5 games are being played by 10year old kids on cybercafes. This will bring a lot of NEW and BAD players... and seeing the amount of Latin American players is so reduced at this moment (since per game i get paired with only one latin player, roughly) we are gona get stucked to play with a lot of new and bad players.
Also, this kids dont have credit cards and just play the games for free.
I don't really know, but I think S2 don't realize that in LA, Brazil is the only country that speaks PORTUGUESE and not SPANISH... So the brazilian people do not talk the same language like all the other countrys in LA.
Why just not give us an option? We can go to the LA or stay here... IP block is such a failure.
I wrote a private msg with this...Hello,
My name is Patrick, i'm from Argentina, and i have been playing HoN since 2009, since it was closed beta. Then i played when it was PAY-TO-PLAY.
I have been supporting HoN since 2009, so i think players like me, that made HoN possible MUST be take into account.
I have read the news about the new change coming.. But is this really good? No, it's not good.
As i said i been playing hon since 2009, so over all that time i have been making friends to play with. And all of them are from US and EU.
With this change a lot of users lose their TEAM MATES. People who we are used to play with, know how they play and that is what makes HoN experience better.
I read that some users complain that some people of Latin America doesn't understand English and that makes hard and if not impossible to comunicatte with, during games. My solution, add a simple test to verify that the user knows English and will be able to comunicatte with.
A simple example about region division would be World of Warcraft. In my case, as default the game will be in Latin-american spanish and the region would be Latin America, but Blizzard allows me to play in US region...
Another very important thing is the game style of players. When i first came to play HoN and started to play with US players i notice how different they played, their game style is more aggressive more dynamic.
How do i know this? I play dota since 2002... and as you may know WC3 engine made impossible to play with people in the US, EU and ASIA. So i had to play with ONLY argentine and with the time made it very boring.
I think this new change will make S2Games lost a lot of people dude to this change as also you may know Dota2 will be released in December 2012 and allows you to play in any region, no matter where you are.
Last thing to be take into account, is that users Axeso5.com are all little kids from 9 to 13 years (This is very well known). So...
Why would we all want to to play with immature players that makes HoN experience worst?
Please take into account our opinions.
I wrote this whole "letter" because i care about S2Games, because i want to keep playing and enjoy this awesome game with my friends, no matther were they are.
Sincerely yours,
Patrick F. Hamann.
what the hell S2, so stupid :S
make an option to enter these servers for them at least, i got a friend from br whom i wanna play with and im eu, what's with these barriers :S
DaddyMeander, protector of all the HoN players, is my father.

hi lulu, can you pls tell me something about HoN in China?
I heard that Sgamer.com had obtained the distribution right for HoN in China a long time ago. But where is it? where is the future of HoN in China, we got millions of players here. We want it ! Can u tell me when will HoN comes to China?
Great change, sick of losing games due to people unable to communicate with the team, **** language barriers.
To all of you crying about not being able to play with friends, deal with it. this is for the greater good.
best part is you have more lag from say peru to chile or argentina than to the usa
so basically u saying future plan is to leave only us/eu market in s2 hands ... garena sea was pretty good choice, rus on the other hand ...
its worth it only if new regions will have similar population as int hon, otherwise u are killing hon, because no1 will play a game without enough players to actually play it
List of HoN streamers

Not every Latin people can't speak a proper english... So for this, that I belive is greater than the one's who can't speak, we could choose to move for not.
no thanks, this sucks, latin america server sucks
I just find it funny that they call this "international" HoN. Oh well.
