HellgateLondon.com - Patch 0.7 approaching

Kaiser Hwang posted this news a few moments ago to remind us that Patch 0.7 is almost done. It will include changes to memory usage, UI and even skills ! Subscriber-only items and quests will be included in the package too.

Howdy everyone! Work on the upcoming 0.7 patch is nearly done, and should be
heading to our test center by early next week. We have a nice list of fixes in
this patch, including improvements to memory usage, UI changes, and general
skill updates.
Also included will be a number of really cool subscriber
items and quests that should please many old D2 fans. We’ll detail this content,
as well as the bug fixes, when the patch goes live. Thanks, and hope everyone
had a great Thanksgiving!

PS Patch 0.6 is on the Test Center server now,
so if you wanna help out, feel free to hop on and check it out. Also, the Party
Portal issues should be resolved now after last night’s reboot.


This will be the first time subscribers will get quests and items outside an event, this ought to be interesting.

The Negotiator Sword - In the flesh!

Paul Macdonald of Macdonald Armories has just contacted Hellgate Guru about the completion of the first Negotiator Sword, created in full steel and bronze. The sword follows the exact detailing and proportion of the Negotiator Sword from Hellgate: London and is entirely handcrafted by a Highland swordmaker in Scotland.

Windows Vista Magazine Hi-Res Screenshots

Having produced a multitude of benchmarks for us, Windows Vista: Das Offizielle Magazin has posted some high resolution screenshots of Hellgate: London.

One of my colleagues just linked our benchmark-pc to a 30”-TFT-Display. The
result: some nice-to-look-at High-Resolution-Screenshots (2560×1600 p and DX10
plus high details). They´re really looking good.
