In Hellgate Global, 60% of the created characters are male, and 40% are female.
The marksman class is popular with people who are new to the game, being the most created class, but the least likely to progress.
Meanwhile, the veteran-friendly guardian is the most-progressed class.
There is a gender divide in terms of progress too. Female Guardians noted as the most highly leveled, and male marksman players are at the bottom.
Flagship Studios' Hellgate: London has a checkered past to say the least, but it's an action RPG that is near-and-dear to many gamers' hearts. With the closing of the original servers and T3Fun's own Hellgate Global servers, though, we have had no means of playing the game's excellent Stonehenge and Abyss content or go on any party-based boss runs. That will be changing soon, as a team of dedicated modders is close to releasing a fully working multiplayer server.
Such a troubled game... but truthfully a rather iconic one. Also one I'm happy to raise from the dead.
Still have my GFWL version, the game mechanically it has everything needed that makes a loot shooter rpg great , it just feels empty when it comes to npc's and story, tons of potential this game it had.
It's been over 9 years since Flagship Studios launched Hellgate: London, 7 years since the original game was taken offline, 4 years since T3Fun re-released the game as Hellgate Global, and a month since the latest iteration was officially shuttered.
And yet, the drama continues.
I completely forgot about that game. What a disappointment it was.
It's a shame to see a game made by the guys behind Diablo 2 do so badly.
