From what I have read this is not a WoW clone.

Yo guys!  After consideration, we do not believe that Hellgate: London meets our requirements as an MMORPG.  While it is online, it is not a massively multiplayer online game.  For more information, please check out our list on what qualifies a game as an MMORPG.

 Thanks, maybe we will finally have our own Hellgate forum soon :)

 I would also like to know on what point Hellgate disqualifies and how it differs from Guild Wars and DDO (both of which are on the list) on that point.

Honestly, why isn't there a section (read:sub forum) on Hellgate:London? I realise this is going to become a ''It's not/it IS an mmorpg'' discussion, which is probably good because...well we need it? <_<

Look at some other games that have there own section tho. 2 Games that can be considered Vapourware for the western market/global market (Darkfall and SUN) have there own section, Huxley which to me seems as a lot less of an MMORPG than Hellgate:London, and the several Guild Wars series which come quite close to what HGL has to offer. Would it really hurt to make a sub forum on it?

Personally I'de just love to discuss HGL with everyone here on the forums =D

EDIT: CRAP, my apoligies, failed to notice the suggestions forum. Mods you can delete this if you want^^

I think there is a game that needs to be added to your list. How do I submit this?

First, please make sure that the game is not already on our list.  If you know the name of the game, make sure you sort our list by "Title" (click on the Title column name) and look for it alphabetically. 

Second, make sure that it completes our definition of a MMORPG:

• 500 or more simultaneous players in one world.
  • The game must include some form of graphical common area. This distinction means Diablo II is not considered an MMORPG, while Guild Wars is.
• It must be graphical...so no text based MUDs.
• Persistent characters.
• Some form of character advancement.
• It must use a true client/server connection.  In other words, no HTML or "web" based games.  Games that run in a browser using Java are OK.
• Five or more screenshots from inside of the game engine itself.
• A professional web site free of annoying pop-up ads or Spyware programs and access to some kind of support system.
• Must fully support English.  This means the client interface, in-game chat, help system and support website must all be in English.

NOTE: At this time we are no longer adding 2D/Isometric games to our list - we will add these again at a later date once we adapt our list to allow feature filtering.

If the game fails to meet any of these criteria, we do not include it on MMORPG.com. Occasionally, we will cover high profile games that have not yet met the screenshot criteria, but they will still not be included in the “Game List”.

Ultimately, MMORPG.com reserves the right of final judgment on whether or not a game should or should not be added to our game list.

If you know a game that meets all of the criteria listed above, please email it to editor@mmorpg.com.

 

Thanks, I couldn't find that FAQ myself (or I wasn't looking properly, lol). I e-mailed the adress listed below with the request.

Good job JaeSwift hopefully we will get a London Hellgate section soon.

Has anyone emailed editor@mmorpg.com regarding London Hellgate?

I am waiting for this one as well, strange that it is not listed here.
