Never played this game.. infact i just wacthed a video on youtube to see what it was.. anyway i read about te servers been shut down in an email i got... ill quote some of it

"This week Namco Bandai announced that the Hellgate: London servers were to be shut down come January. It's a sad end to a once promising product and a powerful lesson for the game industry"

If true, that sucks to see a game with such potential go down like that.

I'd been excited about this one way back in 2005, even kept up with the news religiously whenever I went checking for it, but weeks before release I decided that I'd not get it until I saw what it was like, and a few friends of mine told me it might be worth not bothering with at all.

Which was really unfortunate. It was all excited purely from a cinematic, and that is a rarity.

The game is still pretty fun, though support is probably lacking at this point. It was one of the only games I ever bothered to beat twice.
