Heroes of Newerth Thread

[Crazy Diana]

I just wanted to give everyone an update:

Programming:

- Netcode Optimizations (fixes map hacks)
- Automated Replay backwards compatibility
- Multi Node Chat Server & Optimizations (our last major system upgrade to remove this possible bottleneck)
- Gameplay / Mechanic fixes & General Bug fixes (larger priority at this point)

Art:

- Heroes (Maliken, Magmar (Sand King port), Succubus (Bane Elemental port), Mercurial port, Queen of Pain)
- General Clean ups including some effect optimizations

Website:

- Preparing the site for launch, almost ready!

I know it doesn't seem like anything too exciting (but new heroes should be coming in quite regularly). Once the chat server is stabilized we will be finalizing the clan operation systems and then moving on to the automated match making.
