| Somehow Hellgate London is Korea's Most Successful Launch
Quote: |
From worst to first! Just last month, Flagship's Hellgate: London made 1UP's list of the top five botched PC game launches of all time, with regular server crashes and people being billed multiple times for premium subscriptions. The Southeast Asian launch went even worse, with Infocomm Asia Holdings nearly wiping all player progress within the first 30 days of launch. It's amazing what a few months can do, because now Hellgate: London is being touted as Korea's most successful online game launch in 3 years. There are over a million active accounts, and the game is the 9th most-played game in the country. Sheesh. "To become the most successful launch in Korea for over three years is an incredible achievement," said Bill Roper, CEO of Flagship Studios.

By far the most horribly launched US title ever. Koreans have some weird tastes in games. Honestly though, I loaded HG:L back up last night and pretty much all the major bugs have been squashed. It's actually playable now.
