I’m a sucker for a good MMO. There’s something about the combination of questing, loot dropping, leveling up, and hanging with friends that just hits me in the right spot.

In 2007 Flagship Studios and EA teamed up to release the game Hellgate: London. Hellgate: London was a 3-D FPS Dungeon Crawler that much like an MMO had enemies that dropped loot, delicious color coded loot. There were rare enemies, hard to find items, bad ass weaponry that was unique to your character, and yes XP grinding.
