Hellgate: London Open Beta Test News & Elite Package Details

While I haven't seen any dates listed for the US open test date, September has been announced as the Open Beta Date for Korean testers according to MMOFAN.

I paid a visit to the Hellgate JP site and found the following info, though the US site doesn't show the following list. Anyhoo, it seems that there will be services provided dependent on whether or not you are a "regular" or "elite" member. In previous gossip from May it was said that Hellgate US would run a on "free out of box," (purchase the box only and play for free for $49.95) and pay plan (a monthly fee of $9.95 in addition to box purchase.)
