Hellgate: London To Be Closed, Possibly Saved?

Posted by Soulskill on from the to-be-or-not-to-be dept.

Namco Bandai recently announced that Hellgate: London would be shut down on January 31, 2009. They'd been supporting the game's servers since Flagship Studios saw massive layoffs in July. Now, a fansite has located an announcement on the game's Korean site suggesting that it may be picked up by a Taiwanese company called Redbana. The English version of the announcement says, "In the meantime, stay alert: the Hellgate will soon re-open, and your valor will be needed again."

    With traffic lights, green means "go" and yellow means "slow down." But with bananas, it's the other way around. Yellow means "go ahead," green means "hold on." And red means "where the fuck did you get that banana at?"
