Hellgate: London release date set for Halloween
Clever! What immediately springs to mind when you hear the word "hellgate"? Simple: it's a gate leading, ostensibly, straight to Hell where all sorts of freakish ghoulies live. Tack "London" on the tail end of that and you've got one scary-ass video game title. What better day to unleash Hellgate: London upon an unsuspecting world than October 31st, All Hallows Eve, Halloween! Unfortunately, despite having one of Europe's premier cities right there in the title, Europeans will have to wait until November 2nd (oh, that's not so bad) to play Flagship Studios debut title.
That date is all they're sharing for now. If you're looking for details about that $10/month optional subscription-based service – featuring "huge amounts of content on an ongoing basis in the form of quests, character classes, demons, items, etc." – you'll have to wait some more. That information is "coming soon."

That and you can't make as many characters or something. Anyway, it sounds like they're handling this well, but we'll see.

You can play the whole game you bought online, with your friends, for free.
As flagship makes more content you can choose to get this content by paying for it (monthly fee). You want them to work for peanuts? Get a life.
Wonder how the game plays in co-op pve? Here is an early preview. They loved it.

I have heard that the items will be available for both free and paid accounts. The paid accounts will just look "cooler". It sounds like the stats on the items will be the same.
I am not sure if is still true.

Otherwise, the free version will be just fine :D
