While many players lined up to download the game client, fans were surprised to know that the game is not actually free, as had previously been announced. Many were outraged at the last-minute change, especially some players who had also purchased the "lifetime subscription" to the old version of Hellgate.
All in all, it was a rocky start to the Hellgate Global launch.
From the press release (take note that the official press release calls the game free to play):
Hellgate will celebrate the Open Beta launch with four special events to reward and entertain the growing Hellgate community - the Guild Reservoir event, the Daily Supplies event, the To Level in Hell event and the Level and Be Rewarded event, each awarding top players with valuable prizes. Additionally, the Open Beta will feature two new game modes – the PvP Duel Area and the zombie-infested Cow Room.
About Hellgate
Hellgate is a free-to-play, online, action RPG that allows you to play in a first-person or third-person perspective. Set 27 years into the future, an ancient prophecy made centuries ago has come true and the gates of hell have opened. Demons have overrun the world of man and roam our lands, destroying, pillaging and killing humans. With the world above ground abandoned, dark and burnt to hellfire, humans are forced into hiding to protect what remains of their race while making plans to take back a world that was once theirs. In the game, mankind escapes to the underground system under the sprawling metropolis of London. Prepare for a struggle for survival in a world that has become hell.
