Helgeyiteu: London, 13000 request a refund after the floods of participating PC rooms
2008-05-05 02:40:44
Yes that’s a title, cut and pasted, from a badly Google translated, but very interesting article, telling what happens to content lacking MMORPGs when offered up with the seal of Diablo dreams. Dreams die and a whole lot of South Koreans have to go back to their badly designed, but still offering near unlimited grind-filled [...]

2008-05-04 17:47:19
Welcome to month four of Flagshipped.com’s continuing coverage of Hellgate London’s adventures in South Korea .

A flagshipping on the horizon?
2008-05-03 18:10:55
I’m sure everyone has heard about the fast-approaching MMO Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, the game that is supposedly to focus much of its attention around the PvP aspect. I know it’s been on a lot of people’s minds and I rarely see it not mentioned on any forum having something to do with MMO [...]

Alas PRD Boss Farming I Knew Thee Well
2008-05-03 07:18:18
To all newer players of Hellgate London, enjoy the removal of fast paced, non-subscriber, Boss Farming and be sure to pickup your power gap created by a much slower level of grinding for equipment. As of patch 1.3, Occulus Parties are near non-existent. Which makes sense, when it now requires running down boil row for each [...]

Hellgate London Patch 1.3 A.K.A. Worst Patch Of The Year
2008-04-29 01:15:52
Is the new patch another big pile of FAIL? Survey says… Yes. Whether it was that fresh batch of killer weed or just the lack of test center players, Patch 1.3 has taken control of Hellgate London by an infestation of vicious, game-breaking, bugs. - Watch out when sending items by the in-game mail system to other characters [...]

1st stop bargain bin, next stop abandonware?
2008-05-05 22:26:55
Hellgate London can now be purchased for a measly 17.99 from NewEgg.com. Another huge price drop for a game that was only released 6 months ago. If the trend continues in another month or so we should be at 9.99.  After that abandonware and private game servers if you for whatever reason feel the need [...]

SEA Still Stuck With Hellgate London Patch 0.7

It’s looking bleak for Hellgate London Players on the South East Asia Servers managed by IAH Games. Even though IAHGames is doing what it can, up to the point of even having events, player count is down and even the most stead-fast regulars are seeing the twilight looming with such recent IAH Games Forum Threads [...]

Nightly restarts? Not any more.
2008-05-22 22:42:30
As you all remember, Flagship announced that they would be doing nightly restarts to prevent “server instability.” Of course, they didn’t say why, but those who wear blindfolds on the forum suggested it had to do with the IMMENSE player population and the NUMEROUS servers Hellgate has. That’s all cleared up now. -restarts-have-ceased  “With the launch of [...]
