At the event, visitors could take part in a quest event that when completed, will enable them to walk away with another exclusive dye kit code. There was also a first to level up to level 5 contest and a cosplay contest were also held where winners would walk away with various prizes ranging from a Chimei LCD monitor, Microsoft gaming peripherals.
There is a lot more pictures available at their gallery.

IAH, the SEA (South East Asia) publisher for Hellgate London posted up an interview that their members got to conduct with Phil Shenk, who is the Art Director of Flagship Studios.
There is questions about items, level variations and the map designs. Here is a snippet, head to our forum to read the rest of the questions which provide some interesting information on what’s to come in future patches.
5) Are there any plans for set items and if so, would they unique designs/models/textures to them or would they just be rehashed normal items?
Yes, set items are on the list. They are something we always wanted to do, and we just ran out of time. Expect to see them in one of the next Chronicle updates.
We’re talking right now about what we can do to make them look different and special. Ideally, we’d make new models for everything, but that takes a lot of time. Haha, ALL the art in Hellgate takes a lot of time because we shot for the “next gen” normal-mapped look. Sometimes I wish we had gone the “hand-painted” look and then we could make more stuff!
But anyway, for set items, we’d have to make something for each gender of each faction at least… and ideally for each class. That’s a lot of stuff! And we don’t want people to have to wait too long to see them.
So, we might mix it up. We can do fancier, special textures for them, or at least color sets. Maybe a few pieces will have special models. We’ll do what we can.

Saying that people were looking towards this announcement would be an understatement. Finally, the 0.6 single player patch has been released ! Lots of fixes inside
And to introduce the new patch, an updated version of the Hellgate: London launcher has been released. Just click on the “Updates available” button and this all-new launcher will install itself. Here is what it looks like (main menu, patch menu, patch menu while downloading SP 0.6):
Just in time for Patch 1.0, with its 300MB which would have been quite a hassle to download through the previous system !
Au revoir 
For those players from South East Asia, IAH (The SEA Publisher for HGL) has just published a press release that states that the servers will not be wiped. There is also a message from Bill Roper and Roland Ong, the IAHGames CEO.
Dear Gamers,
We are elated to announce Flagship Studios has given us a green light to implement Patch 0 with NO character wipe.
Flagship Studios has investigated the major character issues, including missing skills and statistics, and have found methods to resolve them. They will also be performing a server upgrade to Patch 0.1 for our game service, making it equivalent to what the US gamers are enjoying now.
The process of implementing these improvements should be complete by 22nd November, 2007.
We are also working closely with Hanbitsoft and Flagship Studios on a program to reward our gamers for the patience and perseverance shown during the recent turn of events. Please stay updated to the forum and website for more news from your community manager, Angelace.
Thank you for your attention and have a good day ahead.
Sincerely,
Team HGL

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.
Swordplay over at PlayHGL has posted up the first few photos from the South East Asia launch which show Max and Erich Schaeffer (Hope I spelt that right) as well as the heap of people waiting for launch.
There is also a cute Cabalist and Templar cosplayers in the crowd!

Swordplay from PlayHGL reports that they finally got their hands on the templar figurines that will be given out to SingTel subscribers at the IAH Hellgate London launch.
We just got our hands on one of the Templar Guardian figures that IAH Games will be given out at the Hellgate: London launch to SingTel and SingNet subscribers.
It comes in a really cool box featuring pictures of the Templar Guardian figure as well as rendered images of the Templar Guardian on the front and back of the box.
The skulls come seperate from the Templar Guardian and the black base, and some self assembly is required. The sword, skulls, Templar Guardian and base are all seperate pieces and the Templar Guardian can stand on its own without the black base too. The sword can be removed and positioned in an up or down position.
Enjoy
