Hellgate: London, the new RPG from Flagship Stuidos, was official released in Europe today which means that the head start the pre-orders and US players got is over.
Don't think that you can install it and start playing. There is a 30mb patch to download previous to actually playing the game.
Despite this patch, players in Europe who did not have a pre-order code can now enjoy the full, content rich game that Flagship has offered. So far, critics have recieved the game very well, with it receiving an 8.9 on IGN.com.
See you in game!

First of all, this isnt an MMORPG, this is an RPG game with and expanded online system, much like diablo's, just that you can move around in stations with people before going out on missions with them.
And secondly, this game, like every other game, isnt for everyone, i love this game and so do my friends, we've been playing alot now, and still enjoying it. :)
i can't really understand why this game should be rated anything but avarage. the npc's are bland, annyoing at best, the interface is clumsy and the quests are boring. you can clearly "feel" the split from 3 character classes to 6 (even some item descriptions haven't been corrected by now in this regard) and the skill tree is boring and unbalanced.
the only good thing on this game, is the item system, which is a game in itself.
it's an half assed mmoArpg and not too much fun either. i wouldn't buy it before trying it out first.
