Hellgate: London is now on Steam

If you want multiplayer all you need to do is get a retail copy of the game with the CD Key/manual (which you can get from amazon or ebay) so you can install it and then follow the instructions on this site for a fanmade HG:L server: https://london2038.com/

There are plenty of people playing on it too, although mainly on elite mode. I get random party invites all the time while I'm playing.

And just fyi, the server is still in beta testing so there will occasionally be character wipes, but in my experience they have been very far apart from each other. Plus making a new character is always fun anyways.

Those models, my god. I knew when I went to make a character on that version that something was wrong. And the graphics are just flat-out downgraded to run on shitty machines...

Why?! Why not keep the high-res versions in the game as an option? An extra couple GBs of space was unacceptable? Then why not make it a free DLC like Skyrim or Shadow of Mordor did?

I can understand not bothering with better graphics when your target demographic doesn't need them / can't afford them to begin with. But downgrading what you already have... It makes my brain hurt.

those are extremely cheap, especially if you get a USB external drive which is best when you dont have one in your pc. and even then you dont need the cd drive once you've installed everything. Stop trying to be negative. its a very fun experience and great nostalgia trip

I second the notion of just buying the one from Amazon,etc. The one on Steam is a butchered version of the Korean-MMO attempt of the Game.The Londo2038 mod might require a new license key though.

A used key will work for it I believe. I used my key from my 2007 copy of Hellgate London which was used to make an official account when the game was still live. Although I'm not sure if it will still work if it was used to play on the London 2038 server, but I would guess it still works because you can still install the game with a used key and I think as long as you did that you'll be able to play on the London 2038 server.
