Hellgate London to cost $9.95 a month

Not required, but does give players a more complete experience and less waiting in queues.

Flagship Studios and EA have finally decided on the pricing structure for gamers who wish to get more out Hellgate: London, the promising single-player and massively multiplayer online role-playing game.

$9.95 a month will enable the use of 12 character slots (nine more than non-subscribers), access to a hardcore mode, the ability to bypass server queues, account-wide storage for 40 items (20 for non-subscribers), permission to create guilds and attain officer status, 24-hour customer support and a bunch of other bonuses.

This doesn't mean guilds are a no-go for non-subscribers, it's just that you won't be able to create your own.

Hellgate: London is expected to be released later this year.
