Hellgate: London US, EU Servers Going Up NOW
The hellgates are opening! This just in from HellgateLondon.com:
Hey everyone. Sorry for the short notice, but in the next 15 minutes or so, you’ll be able to hop into the game and start creating characters. This goes for both the US and EU servers. Get to it!
More updates to follow…
Community Manager Kaiser also posted a similar heads-up on Guru a few minutes ago. Go, go, go!
UPDATE:
Bit of a delay.
Hey everyone. Sorry for the short notice, but in the next 15 minutes or so at 1:30PM PDT, you’ll be able to hop into the game and start creating characters. At 5:00PM PDT, the game will open up to everyone else. This goes for both the US and EU servers. Get to it!
Will update again when more information is available.
UPDATE 2: I managed to contact Ivan Sulic to ask if Flagship Studios had something to report to the community.

We’ve got 238 members in our IRC chatroom all asking for updates about the servers. Is there something I can pass along to them?Ivan Sulic
From Bill [Roper]…We’re aware that some retailers have started selling Hellgate: London a day early. While the game had shipped to stores, they were not supposed to start selling copies until Wednesday, October 31st. This means that while some people have been able to get their hands on the game a day early, they aren’t able to get onto the multiplayer servers. This is because we are not officially starting service until Halloween. We apologize for any inconvenience and frustration that has been caused trigger-happy stores. When the servers go live, we’ll make sure to post a notice on www.hellgatelondon.com and www.flagshipstudios.com so that there is no confusion.
From me… We’re all working to get things up as soon as humanly possible.

Will pass this along immediately. Thanks.
The US servers have since come up while the EU servers are still pending.
UPDATE 3:
I’ve just received a call from Flagship Studios telling me that the EU servers are up as well.
