Got this in on mail yesterday, thought I would share it here:

HoN Fans-

You can now play Heroes of Newerth for FREE! Come join us for a Free To Play Week starting Monday, August 2nd at 1:00 PM EST and ending on Monday, August 9th at 1:00 PM EST. Set up your free account and download the client here. It's fast and easy to do. You'll be playing HoN again in just minutes! And, for FREE.
Come see what you've been missing. You will have access to the full game and all 68 heroes, including the newest hero, Doctor Repulsor. You will be able to see all game replays, but no cumulative stats will be available for F2P accounts.

See you in-game!

enjoy.
 
How big is the client? Probably huge it will take me a week to download.
 
Ill play this game just to listen to the nerd rage going on. :D
 
I actually haven't played it yet. But did play my fair share of dota.

Are there any single player AI mods/maps available for it? /I would like some practice first...
 
When the free week is over how much does it cost to carry on playing.
And is this just a client or can I lan with it as well
 
Install the client and play for a week. If you like it buy it it is only $30. i personally put in more that 500 hours in this game already, it is worth every cent i paid for it!

@ pooky you might get a 20 mb patch update!

@ Park@82 There are some mods out already but the SDK editor isnt out yet so don't expect much ot the current mods outthere except for all the UI mods

Download is taking slow - anyone know of anywhere else I can it quicker???
 
these guys must be really struggling if they opening the game (after launch) for FREE for an entire week...

All I know I WONT be playing during that week! :D
 
I am trying it but it is so hard and I don't know all the terms and whatnot and everyone just calls me a retard. :(
 
I just got into League of Legends, which is a free to play forever dota style game. And I'm loving it!!

You only get free champions on rotation and you earn points with which to unlock heroes permanently. You can buy them with real money if you want but it's not necessary.

shame man pooky, yeah some of these guys are real jerks. that is why i wanted to get a AI map/mod first to practice on my own...
 
League of Legends

It's the "hello kitty" of the dota world.
More newb friendly, less depth, easier to get into. Extremely colorful and cartoony graphics.

For instance you don't loose gold when you die. (Making death less punishing).
You don't have to deny creeps.
It's more about who can kill the towers the fastest than it is about killing heroes.

I would almost recommend it above HoN to new players, can return to HoN later on when they want something less "shallow" and more challenging.

I'm picking up a lot of LoL-hate on these forums. Having played DotA in my varsity years I actually kinda enjoy LoL. Sure it's not perfect, but it seems to me that HoN is a lot more competitive, which I don't appreciate when I'm trying to have a casual game.

Granted, I've not played HoN, and I'm not prepared to try it just yet. But I have made a note of it and will be sure to check it out in future. I like the fact that there is a SA server, because my latency in LoL is just killing me at the moment, literally. Another reason for sticking with LoL for the moment is my varsity friends that are now in Korea that got me to join it in the first place and it's kinda cool to get to play with them again.

Also, my PC is the bare minimum for running LoL, and my intel tells me HoN is slightly more demanding. So when I've upgraded my rig, I'll give it a look. In the meantime, I might check out the gameplay vids and the lore etc and drool a bit.
