Well, the servers have closed down. As they are only supporting single player from now on, as an MMO, this game is dead.
Thanks a billion Flagship. To any others out there who paid for a 'founders' account, my comisserations.
Can we get another …
Lineage II is an awesome game, no doubt about it. But I have to echo the OP's comments, it needs more content, it needs 'something'. The design, and atmosphere is pretty much still the best I've seen in any MMO. Pretty amazing that's its a couple o…
Where's RedCap these days? I miss the ranting and fanboy apologising! Kind of funny in retrospect.
Anyway, my condolences to anyone who subscribed to this game. I do miss playing Mythos though.
Sad to see Mythos go.
But as for Hellgate, it will join the ranks of Daikatana. Bill Roper can sit down and have a coffee with John Romero, and comisserate over the careers they once had.
...and now the final kick in the face to the community.
In 24 hour the official Hellgate London forums will be closed.
That's it folks. Honestly what a bunch of douchebags they are, no respect for the players, whatsoever.
Flagship getting really flagshipped, now: HANBITSOFT'S REPONSE (LINKY)
Should be fun to watch. I just feel sorry for the devs of Mythos, Travis Baldtree, etc. They did some amazing work, with what was originally basically a tech demo.

The fact is that the 'subscription' plan was a real con. There was little if any meaningful content for the first couple of months, absolutely no reason to be a subscriber. Subscribers were left frequently wondering what, exactly, were they paying …

I'm sorry buddy, i'm going to have to call you out there. This game IS crap. Biggest disappointment of the last couple of years of gaming. I don't think any other games have t…
Of course they had every right to ban him from their boards. Still doesn't mean they're stupid eediots for releasing such a buggy game. Can't believe they use those high res textures throughout though...
...oh wait, I can!
I found this review a little light on details. It was obvious with quotes like 'in depth' plot et al, that the reviewer had not really played the game in question enough to put together a comprehensive review. Still, Hellgate London is such a lightw…
Anyone still playing this game is guilty of letting the industry know that consumers are prepared to pay for an unfinished, buggy and overhyped game.
Shame on you.
Vanguard failed, let it die.
Zorgo, there are plenty of other games that are 'breaking the MMO mold' without the failure of VG unmotivating them, or providing an alternative game model to draw inspiration from. The problem is, of course, is that VG failed to provide any sort o…
Firstly, there is WAY too much quoting going on in this thread.
Secondly, this game failed.
Thirdly, I will stick around to pay out on anyone who is still playing this game. You are simply propagating the idea to companies like Sigil and SOE that …
