Hellgate London Beta - Sept 17 - Page 57

Didn't Diablo come with a comic like this that was once worth a good bit of cash to diehard Diablo freaks?

...yeah I went ahead and got it. Love the oversize box though

Thinking of installing, but I'm working on Shivering Isles right now, so meh.

...oh yeah! If you played Oblivion but you did not play Shivering Isles, then I highly recommend getting it, even if you hated Oblivion. 90% of the stuff y'all complain about Oblivion is completely different in SI, and the story and dialogue are hilarious. Just to give you an idea, you're working for the Sheogorath, the god of insanity. One of the first choices you make in the expansion is whether to join the manic or demented faction. (demented all the way! -- manics are fags in SI)

ATTN Beta Players! UPDATED
Hey everyone. Sorry for the short notice, but in the next 15 minutes or so at 1:30PM PDT, you'll be able to hop into the game and start creating characters. At 5:00PM PDT, the game will open up to everyone else. This goes for both the US and EU servers. Get to it!

More updates to follow...

Is anyone able to connect? I get 503 errors.

Neat, my preorder arrived, didn't expect it for days.

edit: managed to connect and pull down the update, looks like there are two US servers (Shulgoth and Abbadon) I suppose we should pick one. I vote Abaddon, because no reason.

EDIT AGAIN: abaddon has disappeared for the time being, Shulgoth is your only server option.

Abbadon it is.

Suineg · 10-30-2007, 04:47 PM

Abbadon it is and my character name will be Taggor

Hachima · 10-30-2007, 04:50 PM

Hmm I don't have that server on the serverlist. Could someone post their updated Hellgate London\Data\serverlist.xml file?

mek · 10-30-2007, 05:02 PM

Abbadon was on the server list on my first login, but after I updated it was gone, only Shulgoth and Test now. hmm.

We’re aware that some retailers have started selling Hellgate: London a day early. While the game had shipped to stores, they were not supposed to start selling copies until Wednesday, October 31st. This means that while some people have been able to get their hands on the game a day early, they aren’t able to get onto the multiplayer servers. This is because we are not starting the "official" service until Halloween. We apologize for any inconvenience and frustration that has been caused trigger-happy stores. When the servers go live, we’ll make sure to post a notice on Home | Hellgate London and Flagship Studios so that there is no confusion. Thanks for your support of the game and we’ll see you online very soon! The Hellgate: London Team

So who do you think it was? My bet is Wal-Mart, they always manage to screw that up.

Got my pre-order delivered earlier today too. Gonna hop on later tonight; I'll keep checking back on this thread to see where everyone decided to go.

Hachima · 10-30-2007, 05:08 PM

So maybe they are trying to get beta players to make characters on Shulgoth then open up Abbadon on release?

Twobit Whore · 10-30-2007, 05:14 PM

Wednesday is a fucked up day for initial sales. Nearly everyone goes with Tuesday which is probably where the fuckup occured.

mek · 10-30-2007, 05:14 PM

Mmm, well, I guess we're all on Shulgoth now!

Sharmai · 10-30-2007, 06:11 PM

Ok Abbadon is only avaible pre patch. After the patch you can only access Shugloth so our official FoH server will be Shugloth.

Server: Shugloth

Also I haven't been able to reserve the names Malikai and Malik (It says they are not allowed) But I have been able to reserve the names Vtech and Sharmai so feel free to add those to your friends lists. If you want to keep the list going the just copy the below and add your name to it in your post.

Reserved Names:
Vtech
Sharmai

Also does anyone know how to get their mantra wraith from the collectors edition? I don't see a code for it anywhere...

Oh and I'll be playing under Vtech initially and yes I had to create a normal character first since elite characters can only be created after you have beaten normal once.

chu · 10-30-2007, 06:12 PM

Are you sure the servers won't be wiped tomorrow?
