HellGate: London : Hellgate is cursed... in a good wayOct 03, 2011 02:00:00 PM News Item: 17756

Just when we thought we'd be stuck in London forever, Hellgate Global took us across the world to the ravaged vista of Tokyo late last month. To celebrate the good times and charred corpses all across virtual Japan, the resurrected MMORPGFPS is bringing a set of new challenges for gamers to overcome.
For those who scoff at curses and camping out on top of primitive burial grounds, Hellgate dares you to activate your Curse of Dawn mode and attempt to take out Imhotep and Anaksunamun. Those who do so will be on the receiving end of rewards beyond imagination. Also, in-game currency.
Other challenges heading into the game include a guild battle system, and the return of Boss Time Attack. It's not all work and no play, as gamers will enjoy bonus supplies, free gifts at specific levels, and XP boosts. For a limited time champion monsters will drop lucky coupons, which can then be exchanged for rare items. These will only be in the game until the end October 15th, as luck can only last for so long.

HellGate: London : Hellgate expanding to Tokyo on September 22ndSep 15, 2011 01:00:00 PM News Item: 17755

If you were wondering why HanbitSoft and T3Fun rechristened Hellgate: London as Hellgate: Global prior to resurrecting it as a free-to-play title earlier this summer, now you know.
The action-horror MMORPG is expanding to a new burned-out husk of a metropolis, and on September 22nd, you're invited to partake in more grisly demon-slaying action in what remains of post-apocalyptic Tokyo. The city features 24 new levels as well as new monsters and boss mobs. There are also a couple of new game modes on tap, including Cow Room (which pits gamers against hordes of zombies) and Base Defense (which is exactly what it sounds like).
Finally, Hell Mode gets an encore, and hardcore types who want better loot, more XP, and more it'll-put-hair-on-your-virtual-chest challenge are welcome to queue up and prove their e-manliness.

As the legions of hell march on the doorstep of London, Hellgate finds itself in need of powerful heroes to defend the last bastion of humankind. Thankfully, the month of September is strewn with events that will assist gamers in rising to meet the growing demonic threat.
The festivities begin with an event simply called Join the Ranks. For this event, existing heroes will have the opportunity to recruit new gamers, which will effect in delicious rewards for the the recruiter. Once a healthy regiment of soldiers has been recognized, it's time to begin training. The Condition System is back in full effect, and it grants each toonfive hours of bonus experience each day. In addition to the experience bonus, specified dates in September will see the onslaught of a Hell Rush, "effectively doubling the experience earned on those days."
As gamers level from these bonuses, they will be eligible for the Level And Be Rewarded event. This event... well, it is what it sounds like, citizens. At certain leveling milestones, gamers will receive a variety of rewards ranging from inventory expansion to stat-boosting capsules.
But what good is a hero without heroic equipment? Throughout the month, the Tools of the Trade event, which provides gamers with the chance to receive "premium items that aren't obtainable in the cash shop," will be active. Players will also receive two free Resurrection Scrolls daily, in order to keep them fighting on their feet. And to top it off, once gamers feel prepared for a challenge, they can take part in the Boss Time Attack event, which is a special challenge mode to kill a dungeon boss within a certain time limit. Succeeding, of course, will effect in fine rewards. So suit up and move out, heroes. London isn't going to defend itself.Hellgate announces September events Thu, 01 Sep 2011 18:00:00 EST.

No matter how bad the environmental conditions might be in Hellgate, that's no factorto eschew one of the time-honored traditions of MMORPGs everywhere: Player vs Player. But the game's recommence won't just be including the original Player vs Player elements, and one of the newer additions has just been highlighted -- the Duel Areas. This new addition allows gamers to face off against one another on specially designed maps, complete with dynamic elements on each map to keep battles unique.

Killing opponents will reward gamers with Player vs Player experience, heading to valuable rewards for future Player vs Player matches. Check out the video previews for two of the new arenas just after the break, something that should be enough to get Hellgate gamers excited as the game moves toward release.Continue reading Hellgate shows off its new Duel Areas Hellgate shows off its new Duel Areas Fri, 10 Jun 2011 21:00:00 EST.

Horror fans and MMORPGFPS aficionados have been setting their clocks back a few years courtesy of this weekend's Hellgate closed beta event. You may recall the original Hellgate: London as something of a dud when it originally debuted in the winter of 2007.
Not to worry, though, since HanbitSoft and T3Fun have revived the franchise and converted it to a new free-to-play title called Hellgate Global. MMORPG Culture has a trio of videos chronicling this weekend's event, and you can glimpse tooncreation as well as a bit of the shooter's demon-slaying gameplay.
Hellgate intrigued us with its blend of action-horror and apocalyptic stylings the first time around, and we're just as curious for chapter two. Have a look at the videos after the break and share your thoughts on the beta while you're at it.Continue reading Hellgate beta videos show off tooncreation, gameplay Hellgate beta videos show off tooncreation, gameplay Sun, 05 Jun 2011 13:00:00 EST.
