What is Revival?
Revival is a Hellgate: London PORT. It is developed in the Unreal Development Kit (UDK
http://www.udk.com) Our purpose is to develop a modification to bring LAN play and the all MP content up to and including 'The Abyss Chronicles' (test center v4) patch. An SDK will be available for community based modifications and content expansions into the future.
What do I need in order to play Revival?
You will need a copy of Hellgate: London and updated with the latest MP patches. If you do not already own a copy of Hellgate: London you can get a digital download copy from
http://eastore.ea.com or get a hard media from
http://www.amazon.com. The patches are available from this website.
When will Revival be finished?
We plan to have the first alpha in February 28th 2011. We are hobbyists and most of the developers either work or study full time. Watch the news page for updates, we will try to give a heads up every 4-6 weeks because we know many anticipate a release.
More information about the time line can be found here:

Can I sign up for a beta?
We plan a "closed beta" and only the "goldmaster" will be released to public.
Will Revival contain Stonehenge and Abyss?
Yes, all multiplayer content is included for both SP and LAN play.
Can I play my SP characters with Revival?
Unfortunately not. Revival will be too fundamentally different to the original version. Although it is possible it would require the SP saves be reverse engineered.
Can I play my MP characters with Revival?
No, that is not possible.
Can I run my own server?
The UDK has good framework for MMO implementation.
The Unreal Development Kit supports:
- Internet and LAN play
- Client-server model support for up to 64 players
- Support for non-dedicated listen servers
Will I be able to farm bosses? FSS kept trying to close the PRD trick.
The PRD trick to farm bosses was an exploit because PRD's were never meant to behave that way. We won't be intentionally replicating a bug, however I will include a /reset function to quickly reset any instance.
Can you implement Stonehenge and The Abbys into Hellgate: London SP ?
We are focusing our efforts to create a new engine for Hellgate instead of trying to reverse engineer the old one. The long term benefits of porting Hellgate are limitless.
When does the next Revival SP patch launch ?

What can I expect from the Revival SP patch in the future ?
Our plan is to include Item transfer and Hardcore mode with one of the future Patches but our main goal is still HG: Revival and the patches are only intended as a "time killer" while you wait for the main game and wont be developed further than the inclusion of Item transfer and harcore mode (at least by the official Revival Team)
How do I get the Revival patch ?
Go to the above given link and download the desired patch. Installation help can be found in the "read me" file in the patch file.
How do I become a founder ?
To become a founder you'll either have to donate a small amount (we take big amounts too) or you contribute a noticable part to the Revival project. More info here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=42
