Hellgate:London

[Thecla]

If Hellgate was unlimited in single player but limited for online that would be a different story but from what I see that isn't the case. I could be wrong I haven't looked all that hard at it.

As I understand it (I never actually tried single-player HGL at all -- with a decent internet connection, and a subscription account, you might just as well play solo-multiplayer in HGL, even more so than was the case with Diablo), HGL gives you an unlimited number of character slots in single player. The game severely limits the number of online character slots to 3 if you're a non-subscriber, but it allows a very reasonable 24 character slots if you subscribe. It doesn't allow you to make multiple accounts the way D2 did, so there's a real limit on subscribers also.

I actually like HGL a lot, much more than GW say, and perhaps it will attract some fraction of disaffected WoW players (like me), but I also don't see it as putting a dent in WoW's popularity. Too bad Bliz didn't produce a MMORPG for antisocial players like me, because they made such a wonderful world.
