Hellgate Servers Packed with an International Audience

Hanbitsoft reveals user percentages by country

Seoul, South Korea – August 1, 2011

Hellgate Global, the exciting rebooted MMORPG in which players fight to fend off the legions of hell, has been received with thunderous popularity since it released in Open Beta on June 30th. Only a month after its release, the servers have already been saturated, and every day there are hundreds of players from all over the world waiting in line for a chance to play. Fortunately, Hellgate Publisher T3fun has accommodated their fans’ needs, and users are now able to log in and play with minimal wait time.

Right now, 28% of Hellgate’s user base resides in Germany, closely followed by the United States (13%), Russia (11%), Brazil (9%) and Australia (7%). However, American users may soon be given the opportunity to step up in this ranking: a YNKi channeling service will be provided in the United States starting on August 1st, giving still more players the chance to take part in this epic battle.

(This game is only able to exist because of all of its outspoken supporters,) Hanbitsoft CEO Kee Young Kim said. (Hellgate was a fantastic game, but it was only with the support of all of its fans that we were able to bring it back from the dead. Hellgate Global is a testament to the idea that you should never give up on a truly great game.)
