Hellgate: London Subscription Q&A

CVG has posted a very short Q&A they did with Flagship Studios’ Bill Roper about the justifications behind charging a subscription fee for Hellgate: London.

“We want to be able to stream things into the game continuously – additional gameplay modes, mods, quests, monsters and environments, special events for special days, weekly events, things that are ongoing and that go above and beyond balance fixes and bugs – even up to including new factions and character classes”.

Roper explained that a fixed, regular schedule won’t be applied to such updates but provided an example of how “at the end of every quarter or something, we do a big thing such as adding a new character class or some story”.
