Premise section

Is it just me, or does the Premise section sound a lot like a description would be in-game instead of sounding like an encyclopedia? I keep reading it, and some of the word usage sounds POV ("unfortunately", "heroes", etc)...point of view of the humans, instead of an outside source. Please let me know what you all think.

Just to clarify, the article is written in-universe, which is not recommmened by WikiPolicy. I'm going to try to rewrite it when I get time, and using Wikipedia:WAF and WP:Fancruft for help. If someone else gets to it first, please do. QuasiAbstract (talk) 14:41, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:VG/GL I'm going to rename it 'plot' and put it below gameplay. I'll remove the excessive sub-headings in gameplay where possible and try to integrate text into paragraphs, 'flowing prose' and all that. The way the articles contructed, in bullet-style lists, masses of subheadings etc. means that the scaffolding is still up, we need to collapse it back down into a typical article.

At a quick glance, the whole article looks a lot better. ~QuasiAbstract (talk/contrib) 15:28, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures

Not a singe screen-shot, not to mention picture, can be found in this article aside from the cover art. I think that a few should be added. Xeysz ☼ 01:43, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Diablo series

Same people who made the diablo series. Not blizzard Entertainment, people who had worked for them and made their own company. I dont know why no one bothered to say that on the actual page of the game, It says it on the game cartridge.

The game cartridge? What the hell are you playing it on?? 59.167.51.87 (talk) 05:23, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because it wouldn't be fair to mention the venerable Diablo in the same article as this garbage, also known as Hellgate: London121.209.147.229 (talk) 17:53, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SEA support summary

Is there a reliable source (i.e. not the flagshipped blog) that can we can use to get a summary of the current status of SEA server patch levels and support by IAH? I think it would be good to include this information in a NPOV manner, supported by reliable sources and without being too axe-grindy. Does IAH maintain a page that lists their current patch levels and their update plans (if any?) thanks, --guyzero | talk 07:56, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Found sth like this [1]. I think it's best now what we can find about server problems (and patch) in SEA :) Sir Lothar (talk) 10:16, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Flagship Studios loses ownership of Hellgate: London

http://digg.com/gaming_news/Flagship_Studios_No_Longer_Owns_Hellgate_London

Obviously quite big news that should be incorporated somehow, but I'm just leaving this on the talk page for now. Feel free to add something on it. There's not much info on how this will affect the game released yet, or if it will somehow affect Mythos as well. For the gamers, it doesn't bode well though, as this means the actual developer supporting this game with patches is gone, and left is only HanbitSoft -- the publisher. This is still speculation, but they could well consider this being too much of a drain on their resources and kill the game. — Northgrove 18:36, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Follow-up: http://www.warcry.com/news/view/84964-Lowering-the-Flag-at-Flagship-Studios

This has now long-since been confirmed, as well as HanbitSoft now owning the IP rights and planning to shutdown the US/EU servers and wipe the accounts on them.
