At around November 5th, 6AM - 9AM PST, Hellgate London servers will be taken down for maintenance. After the maintenance, a new patch that will introduce a new theme (Guy Fawkes day) will be available for download through the launcher. The patch will introduce new items to the Hellgate London, as well as fixes to issues that players encountered during the past week. Hopefully, all those memory leaks and random crashes will become less frequent after the 0.1 patch.


Howdy, everyone! Just a heads-up, that on November 5th, 6AM - 9AM PST, both the Shulgoth and Sydonai servers will be coming down for maintenance and patching. We’re shooting for our total downtime to be no longer than a few hours, so please, be patient. It’s also possible that one server might be up before the other, so don’t worry if you can log onto only one of them - both will be coming back up.
During this downtime, we’re deploying a new patch that, amongst other things, has a new themed event: Guy Fawkes Day. Hellgate: London is celebrating Guy Fawkes Day. The holiday which is still celebrated in England, is held in remembrance of Guy Fawkes, who tried to kill King James I what in what became known as the Gunpower Plot. This story has been referenced in numerous pop culture media, from the Harry Potter books to the film V for Vendetta to the song Remember by John Lennon. It’s time to add Hellgate: London to the list! Here are the details:

Run Date

November 5 – November 11

Nemo ~ Master of Festivities

He has moved to his permanent home inside Templar Base with several surprises for adventurous souls.

Guy Fawkes Quests

There are bigger demons out there, and perhaps they’re being drawn to the flames that erupt on Bonfire night. Track down a series of named monstrosities and explore new areas as you seek to keep these horrors at bay.

Bonfire Nightmares

Parts of the city have been made even more fiery than usual by the culmination of increased demonic activity and the explosive nature of the times. Keep an eye out for these rare locations.

Grenades

What would this celebration be without explosions? Lots of explosions… so many, in fact, that everyone gets in on the fun of hurling the Marksman’s staple – Grenades. Now, imagine what else you could do with them…

Guy Fawkes Recipes

Making things is a big part of the remembrance of Guy Fawkes for the survivors in London. The ingenuity of Guy Fawkes is represented in the numerous recipes and schematics that crop up during this time.

Guy Fawkes Treats

BonfireToffee, Toffee Apples, Baked Potatoes – all of the expected foodstuffs (and more) to keep winter’s chill at bay and bolster characters with a wide variety of beneficial boosts.

Fawkes’ Flameguards

Handling explosives can be tricky, so you’ll want to make sure to find the right pair of gloves to keep your hands safe and sound.

The Legacy of Guy Fawkes

The techsmiths have been busier than usual, so you’ll never know when gear might drop that has a thematic tie to the celebration.

Thanks everyone, and hope you’ve been enjoying the game!
