More Dota 2 beta invites are going out this week
Did you get an email inviting you to tell Valve more about yourself? If you had previously signed up as being interested in the Dota 2 beta, you probably did. Those who fill out the survey may get an invite when the next wave gets sent out. Perhaps best of all, every beta invite comes with two more that can be gifted to friends. Let's face it, not everyone is obsessively into playing MOBA games competitively, so this is terrific news. And, in typical Valve fashion, there's a comic for us to peruse. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.

You can fill out the survey there if, like me, the email link doesn't work for you. I stopped taking the survey when I found out they wanted experienced DotA players. I barely played the first one, so I was lost while trying to answer the questions Since I am already in the beta for a month I can tell that HoN, right now, is still the better choice for people who like these types of games. But I guess Dota2 will improve over time (that's what beta is for anyway) and might overtake HoN at the top spot. If the link in your email doesn't work you can copy and paste the link into a Windows Explorer tab and it should open it in Steam for you. That's what I had to do to take the survey. 5:00 PM on 05.13.2013 The Anno Online open beta starts tomorrowAnno Online will cease operations for its closed beta tomorrow and will enter a full, public open testing session.
