Does anyone else play this?

I remember playing the original years ago and just recently found out they relaunched it again as a F2P game. If anyone wants to play together, just add me on steam.

Oh, lawd... I thought London crashed and burned horribly enough it'd never be tried again? I seem to recall there being good reasons behind it too (though I can't remember what those were).

It uses London's engine. It's just renamed to Global since it is all online based now.

its Global because they added Hellgate: Tokyo to it.

I think it's a totally different company doing it these days.

Yup, it got taken over by a different company too.

I liked it a lot for a while. Wasn't too hard to earn enough IGM to buy the additional content.

The same company is launching Mythos Global, which is the old Mythos that was being made by the former Diablo guys but then went belly up. They're launching the open beta for that on Feb 2nd.

It did, the game is actually fairly similar, but... free now. You need a 'ticket' to progress past a certain point, but they can be bought from other players for in-game currency. (Or were, at least, very affordable as of a few months back when I tried it.) Not sure if they added more for the Tokyo bit or not. It really is still a 3D version of Diablo 2, very grindy. People complain about that, but they forget that it takes several thousand hell mode baal runs to hit 99 from the mid 80s.

If you've got the time, it really is/can be worth the 'ticket' which is ~$5 iirc. (or, just save up a little in-game and get it off another player.)

It can be a lot of fun, but is a lot like most MMOs or Minecraft, where you really have to make your own fun out of it. If you aren't interested in some aspects of it.... Wait... you're asking about Mythos... balls.

Yessssssss. Just started Hellgate 3-4 days ago. Loved it back than, still pretty awesome. Have been doing a bunch of quests and 'dungeons' with Timon7 and are already lvl20. So far, from what I've heard/read, is that it really is free to play. All the cash shop items are just added conveniences (auto-disassemblers, identifiers, bag expansions), except for the skill respec which is $13~? but supposedly can be farmed from a boss later in the game or bought in the AH. Bunch of new features I'm sure you've seen like PvP, AH, Tokyo, Stonehenge, The Abyss, Hell's messenger minigame, secret cow level, mail. Only problem is I wish I found out about it 7 months ago when it was released.

You can get the Steam overlay working with it with a quick script download here.

Thanks for the heads up. I might install it and try it, although only after I try Aion Free.

Wow, thanks for the heads up. I loved the original game (I never owned it, but I played it at a friend's house) and I was sad when I heard it had gone down. It's so good to know that I can play it again.

I'm thinking of getting a Steamgifts Hellgate group together. If you are interested in arranging party time together, just add me to friends and I may make a group for it.

I used to play this. I might be willing to try again, think I remember having a level 30-ish summoner or something. Can't remember. If you play two characters to where you can't progress any further, you should be near rich enough to unlock the rest of the content using the marketplace. Just sell nanoshards for 3k (Can't promise they still go for 3k, but yeah) and voila. The Tokyo content shouldn't take too long to earn up for either. Otherwise it's just 4$ if I remember correctly.

EDIT: I shall take the time to re-download it, I think. When and if I do I'll send off a friend request. :D
