Hellgate: London

i have been thinking bout playin this game but i dont want to be in game and find that almost no one plays it so does anyone now about how many ppl play it

I did play it, but I quitted 1 month after the release.

Kinda got boring and not many was playing it.

im waiting until it goes free to play xD

Ummmm....it IS free to play.

Last I heard the game has around 10k players average. 

Once again; developers need to know that they ca not shovel this crap to gamers - ship complete code or don't ship at all.  I just uninstalled the game, it was a major disappointment and I was promoting this game heavily to everyone and anyone.  Thanks Bill.

I got it this past weekend because I was in the mood for a hack and slash type. I normaly install Diablo 2 for my fix but I wanted something new. I have not had any crashes with the latest patches and it runs smooth as silk on max settings.

I am supprised by how good this game is compaired to all the negitive reviews.

It's not that the game is "bad" (ok, it was at first but it isn't anymore), it's that the game could be so much more and is positively content lacking when compared to other competing games.  That being said, patch 2.0 may very well be the savior of this game.  Will just have to wait and see.  :)

If you sub to the game then it is very fun.  For the first 3 months everyone had every right to complain and call the game a PoS.  However they have done alot of work, and its real results for us that play and sub, and even non subs.

As for how many play, its more around 20-30k then 10k.  All i will say is during primetime the channels are active, the stations are filled with players of all modes, and alot of gamers are having fun.

I agree with the above :) There is no lack of players in the game, not even close. I play the game very casually, but when I do play I have fun and to me thats what matters :)

I mostly play around 3-5 hours pr month

Yeah, they really messed the game up before the release and lost alot of players. A few weeks before the release they announced that there would be a subscribe option, and that almost destroyed the entier "free" play feature.

And after that, they released a limited number of "lifetime subscribtions" that some people bought, and they made a misstake. I think the price for a life time was 100 bucks or something. Most of the ones that bought it doesn't play the game anymore since they spent alot of money on the "extra" features that they would get as a subscriber, but seriously, the subscribe features wasn't that good.
They got access to some random places, able to equip some other things and play hardcore. But ye, that's only my opinion/thoughts about why there aren't so many people playing this game. Actually I must say I enjoyed the first month of playing it, but they had a screwed up party system.

You certainly don't play it much if you think it is fun to play.  Heck I have gone back and played Diablo, even it has better gameplay.
