Post by: Anheg on November 04, 2008, 02:47:37 AM: I just saw this article and wondered about LM's collective thought.

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

Post by: 420 on February 01, 2009, 02:24:42 PM: 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" (http://www.flagshipped.com/).

Post by: 420 on April 03, 2009, 01:46:36 PM: 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 (http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=23027/)

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.
