Flagship Studios som består av utviklere bak spill som Diablo, StarCraft og WarCraft-serien, er nå godt i gang med deres store actionspill - Hellgate: London og i dag har det blitt bestemt at det vil koste 10 dollar pr. måned om du vil spille online og i tillegg ha tilgang på alle godbitene som er gjemt i spillet. Hvis du ikke betaler, så får du heller ikke til å ta i bruk godbitene skriver bladet Games for Windows. Denne betalingsvarianten kalles for Elite Subscription og som i følge utvikleren vil sørge for å få penger til videre "store" oppgraderinger.
Her er en liste over fordelene du finner i Elite Subscription:
* Elite subscribers pay $9.95 a month
* 24/7 phone- and internet-support
* No (server) queues for elite subscribers, with preference over non-paying customers
* 3 chars per account for non-elites, 12 for elite-customers
* Elite subscribers can store up to 40 items (instead of 20 for non-subscribers), which can be accessed from any char in an account-wide item vault.
* Visible distinction from other players. Elite subscribers are recognisable from their equipment and may trade subscriber-only equipment to other elite subscribers.
* VIP-Shuttles to remote areas
* Housing and founding of guilds are enabled for subscribers. Elite subscribers may attain officer/leader priviledges within their guild.
* Elite subscribers have access to additional game modes, including Hardcore mode.
* Elite subscribers and non-subscribers can play with each other.
* Costs actually depend on where you live. Subscription fees in the Asian market will cost considerably less, in accordance to the market conditions and expectations of the players and local publishers within the region.
