After working on the title for over three years, HoN went retail with over three million beta subscribers. We worked tirelessly to make HoN the best online, multiplayer game of its kind and haven't slowed down since then. Over the past year, we've accomplished many milestones. HoN now averages 30,000 concurrent players at any given time, daily concurrent peaks over 50,000 and an impressive 420,000 unique active players!

^^ sets the shop to the old one

Someone give this guy a medal

I don't get it my shop looks the same as it always did

I like some of the additions to the shop but hate it mostly.

true i dun understand why everyone hates it haha, i find it to be so much quicker/smoother

I absolutely hated the new shop but after a few games I like it

I hated it until I set the transparency slider to max, disabled hero guides, and set shop icons to simple. Then I didn't mind it.
