No, they made monthly fees for the game and some people got screwed I heard. Somthing about a finder fee and still paying the money per month.

Perfect

lol i signed for 1 month sub for me and my friend about 1 week before the sub's ran out they canceled the sub n shit
so me n him have free sub from now on lolz xD

busier than it's ever been.

just like has been stated in the other 4785606 threads.

Lol you didn't play in late 07 then. 15000 ppl on each realm and 5+ pages of groups up.

Goddamn I wish this was still up Hardly finding -ANY- groups in Elite-nm at lvl 48
The game is dying, it's inevitable, and I doubt that anyone will pick the IP from Comerica, and if they do, highly doubt they'll keep HGL running. It's tagged as a steaming pile of shit in the gaming world.

yes i did actually, it's ofc not busier than it was in the first 2-3 months or so but A LOT busier than it has been in the last few months

games almost dead and i never even played it , looks like it would be a fun game no one gave it that good of a chance i need a better computer before i can play it

think thats one problem this game had really high computer requirements

but this is from the hellgate london site

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD news. Bout 2 months old... but i assume since you never played the game, that you haven't actually been following HGL news very closely...
They are not in business, Bill Roper himself gave a formal interview about the OFFICIAL closing of FSS.
Now its only a matter of whether or not the HGL IP will be picked by anyone. Funny thing is like people said, its been busier than it has been in months, since the first rumors started.
IDC< i enjoy the game and will simply play hgl online for as long as i can until the bitter end.

idc bout people's opinion about how "dead" they think this game is.
AFAIK that is completely undecided by the powers that be... so far.
cheers
