Wow! Well I didn't think such things could happen. But it seems to happen alot now. This game and Autoassault. I still wonder why SWG and Dark And Light still are active though, anyway, I hope this is a lesson for everyone to make better mmorpg's in the future! |

Well, the multiplayer servers will shut down at 31st January 2009, because the current owner Hanbitsoft wants to run it only in Korea. Yes, HG:L will go there further, they already have the 2.0 patch too - but NA and EU will get nothing. |

The game feels like diablo in a lot of ways, but the biggest thing they did wrong was try and market as a mmo, if they would of marketed it a lot bette, with a free to play multilayer, they game would be on of the most successful games of the 21st century. There is so many cool things going to waste in this game... the dx10 work is brilliant and the best of any mmorpg thus far. |

I think that if they didn't ask a monthly fee they would still be in bussiness |
