Find old Heroes of Newerth friends & teammates
A pioneering DotA-style MOBA, HoN had a fierce ranked community and clans before the servers shut down in 2022. The matchmaker's gone; your old teammates aren't. Share the player name to reconnect with a former duo or clanmate.
Often it isn't the game you lost — it's the MSN, AIM or Xfire that shut down, the old forum or IRC channel that got deleted, the Skype or ICQ that no longer exists, the TeamSpeak, Ventrilo or Mumble server whose IP stopped working. Usually a nickname is all that's left — and that's enough to start.
Post what you remember
The nickname or character name, the clans and ranked, and roughly which years — small clues are often enough.
The community helps
Anyone can share your post or recognise the player. A Cores bounty rewards whoever makes the connection.
Reconnect privately
When the right person claims the post, you confirm it and you're connected on XCORE.GG. No personal data is exposed publicly.
Finding old Heroes of Newerth friends — FAQ
How do I find someone I used to play Heroes of Newerth with?
Create a wanted post with the Heroes of Newerth nickname or character name you remember, plus the clans and ranked and roughly which years you played. The post is public and searchable, so anyone who recognises the player — including the person themselves — can respond.
I only remember their username — is that enough?
Often, yes. A distinctive Heroes of Newerth username plus the server and era is frequently enough for someone to recognise. Add any memory you have (a guild, a team, an inside joke) to improve the odds.
Is it free to post?
Posting is free. You attach a bounty in Cores — XCORE.GG's internal points — which is paid out to whoever helps you reconnect. Cores are not money and cannot be withdrawn.
