As announced earlier, Heroes of Newerth will be going to retail on Wednesday, May 12th. This means that players need to purchase a paid account to be able to continue to enjoy the game. However, Garena has decided to keep the game free-to-play for its target countries and gamers in these locations do not need to purchase a paid account. Due to this, we have to restrict the access of gamers from Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines from playing in our international servers.

Garena is currently still setting up their dedicated servers for the South East Asia region, so there is an expected lull time for users in these four countries wherein they will be unable to play the game. The Beta Testing Phase for Garena servers expected to start before the end of May.

At the start of closed beta, gamers from these countries will be able to redeem a Beta Key immediately if they are Garena Gold Members, while other keys are given away in other community efforts. Please note that countries not stated here (e.g. Indonesia, Thailand) will be unable to play on Garena servers, and would require purchasing a paid account to enjoy the game in S2 Games? international servers.

nah, even you play it for free, you still cant play well

Garena gives you high ping channels and when you connect to HoN you still have high pings so you'll expreience massive lag.. lol

Im from the Phil. so I have experienced many of that even before HoN has been released.
Even you play DOTA, you still experience lag and delay. Other players also are quitter so its not interesting to play the game in Garena. :P
