I read that, its really too bad. I know there are other games who are having their servers shutdown also.

But any post involving Holy Grail is good

Well just like starting up a small business, most will fail.

As for Hellgate, it suffered greatly from lack of polish (too many bugs etc.) and lack of content to justify a monthly fee.  Put it next to a free-online game such as Guild Wars and Hellgate just doesn't make the grade.
