South East Asian HGL Gets Wiped
Kotaku reports that the version of South East Asian version of Hellgate: London will be getting wiped, as after numerous attempts to apply Patch 0 to the servers it was discovered that the only way to apply it would be to perform a complete character wipe.
IAHGames has issued a statement apologizing to its players, and compensating them with 4 weeks of free subscription benefits. Here’s a snippet:
The implementation of Patch0 and subsequent character wipe will occur at 1200hrs(GMT+8) on Monday, November 12. After the Patch is implemented, a comprehensive test will be run to ensure there are no further problems. The process will take about 8 hours.
We would like to repeat we are sorry for the delay and the frustration it may have caused you. Please accept the game time as compensation, and thank you for your support until this point.
It’s unfortunate that the wipe has to happen, but it’s good to know that Hellgaters will be receiving a fair compensation for their loss. Endure, in enduring grow strong.
Update: The wipe and subsequent implementation of Patch0 have been postponed.
Dear Gamers,
We have decided to postpone today’s maintenance exercise.
Another announcement would be presented tomorrow to inform all our valued gamers further on the implementation of Patch-0.
We apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused you and we wish you a good day ahead.
