Hellgate: London Publishing Deal Q&A

What worries me, is that when I listened to the Flagship guy (tech lead, don't remember his name) speaking at the nVidia launch party in San Jose yesterday, he referred to Hellgate as an MMORPG and could not rule out the possibility of monthly fees.

He said a lot of good things about their desire for PvP support, online ladders, etc., and said they wanted to be able to provide excellent support post-launch... and when then asked about monthly fees, basically stated that they were considering their options (given the goal of post-launch support) and that he couldn't say more. He also made a side mention to Blizzard's support for Diablo/D2 being low after launch, which got a raised eyebrow from me... what kind of support are they considering if D2:LoD and the latter patches is considered poor?

So, heads up if monthly fees get announced later. I hope I'm wrong, or misinterpreted what he said, or so on...

Maybe it's like Guild Wars does it with just charging for the new and extra content.
