Hellgate to relaunch?
« on: November 04, 2008, 02:47:37 AM »
I just saw this article and wondered about LM's collective thought.

I'd be happy if they just didn't delete my online characters. The update it talks about would be nice but they should finish up the Abyss Chronicles also.

Well, if Hellgate actually goes away at least I got Spore, STALKER Clear Sky and Fallout 3. And soon GTA 4.

I kinda figured that if anyone was to try and pull it out of the grave it would be HanibitSoft since they were the korean distributor.

Not on PC and that's what he's talking about.

I bought a copy of Vice City when it became cheap.  Didn't even get 1/4 of the way through it. The best part of the game was running over mobs of gangsters while the radio was playing Katrina and the Waves. Ho hum.

Well, it's official, Hellgate: London is dead, the web site is gone and the servers are offline.

Throbble and I got shafted out of $400 dollars (two copies + life time subscriptions), I wonder how much it would cost to put a hit out on Bill Roper...

They got me so good there was a word invented for it: "flagshipped".

That is such fucking bullshit. I never gave the game a second look and yet it still pisses me off.

Looks like Namco were just being a bunch of lying hypocrites when they claimed that they kept up the servers as long as they did because they wanted to do everything they could for the Hellgate community.

From :gamasutra

Apparently HanbitSoft wants to serve Hellgate to the US and Europe but Namco won't allow it. Fucking fucktards, I hope they all burn in hell, and not the cool Hellgate type of hell but the boring Dante type of hell.
