*copy and paste* Namco Bandai has promised players of Hellgate: London that the game is "not going away" in a post on the game's forum. Zack Karlsson, a business development director for publisher Namco Bandai, said that the semi-MMORPG would continue to run for now."I know everyone is looking for an announcement, and we'd love to make one - but right now, many things are in flux and we don't have all the information yet," Karlsson wrote."In the short term, please do not worry. The game is up, the servers are not going away in the short term and any major changes to status will be communicated in advance. "I'd like to ask for your patience as we try to figure it all out and chart a new course... We hope to have a real announcement shortly."A question mark has been hanging over Hellgate's future since developer and operator Flagship studio was forced to shut down operations. In-development sister title Mythos has already disappeared. Namco Bandai was Flagship's original publisher for Hellgate: London, although it later outsourced marketing and distribution to EA in America and Europe, and HanbitSoft in Korea.

MMorpg - The blessing, and The curse of modern gaming. |
well i still hope to see this game rise. I was dissapointed about it, but not much about game mechanics, but the way quests are, i prefer quality to quantity. In diablo 2 we had 6 qs for act, and we knew them better then 5 fingers on our hand :D. We did those qs for actual usfull reward, not just to do it. Becouse they all had sence in them, well almoust all :D. They thought we whanted more qs, no we whanted more story, and more quality in qs.
Anyway i still got it on mine pc, and i just love go now and then and kill zounds of mindless demons with mine blade master, its just pure fun. well i still have hopes for it , lads! |

to clarify, Hellgate servers are still functioning (and were never shutdown) but the future is unknown www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/post/2223708#2223708 BR: Namco and EA are continuing to operate the game. But, for example, they can't do any development on it. They can't make new content. |
