Hellgate Returns

Many hated it, but nonetheless Hellgate London appears to be continuing in the guise of Hellgate: Ressurection. The first new act is being released in March 2010 and will be called Hellgate: Tokyo, available only in Asia. Much of the malaise that HG:L accrued was due to the Founders Offer that forewent the monthly premium service but failed to provide a break-even before it was shut down. I purchased and played the collector's edition, both online and off and the initial game was... disappointing. It did however perk up with the patches that were provided and could have been much better with a little more time on the stove. There have been many allusions to the fact that HG may return to the US if the licensing can be worked out, but how welcome it would be is questionable.
