Project "Money comes and goes, but Heroes are eternal!"

This is a completely different matter... Only for those who want to... Those who want to will help, and those who don't want to, that's fine...


So, you only get expenses from your portal? Then what's the point of all this? What's the meaning? Unless you're Bill Gates...

Yes, I think it's better to wait for the expansion. I think there will be many more people interested in it. And I think our portal won't refuse to participate in it... Personally, I definitely will!!! The offer is very tempting...

You're provoking me to go off-topic... :(
I apologize to the administration. I'll answer one last time, and I won't answer any more questions in this thread about the Heroes Portal.

So, on the Heroes Portal, EVERYTHING is FREE! And if we receive money, we convert it into virtual money, i.e., we RETURN it! This includes shipping costs!

Virtual money is earned by PLAYERS/VISITORS PRIMARILY IN TOURNAMENTS! We also pay virtual money for new maps, drawing attributes/avatars, etc. There are a total of 5 affiliate programs for earning money, which we can then cash out! We pay for the work of people who spend time visiting our resource.

Regarding my expenses... The Heroes Portal is a HOBBY! And a hobby requires expenses. Yes, I started with free hosting, like many others, but now the resource has outgrown that hosting.
I admit, I wanted to quit this more than once... but my friends talked me out of it :)
My team helps me a lot with everything and reduces the expenses for the Portal as well.

Regarding cashing out, I don't throw words around. I send money once a month! And this is also written so that players don't rush to cash out en masse. I haven't cheated anyone yet, and I don't plan to.

Currently, the Heroes Portal is fully self-sustaining through advertising and donations from players. And we use the profit for prizes. Here are some of the prizes I sent out this year.

The distribution of these prizes itself cost a lot, not to mention the creative work on the statuettes.

To close the issue of permissions, I want to say that I VERY much respect other people's work. For example, the picture of Heroes that you see on the "front page" of the Portal and is used on the Portal's t-shirts was used with the permission of the Buka company at the time, as it was the copyright holder of the brand in the CIS countries. And it was taken from the company's closed FTP.

Once again, I apologize to the Admin for going off-topic. I won't answer any more questions about the Portal. Let's discuss a joint tournament for Heroes 5 after the expansion.
