Also from 1UP, Flagship employees may not be leaving in "droves," but at least one is suffering enough burn out to vent on his blog about the state of Hellgate: London.
I fired up HG: L last week to see how well it ran with my new 8800 GT. Night and day difference from the 8600. I had the settings nearly cranked to max and beheld nice, smooth 30+ fps. And the game is still damn fun. It's really too bad they bungled the release. That and charging a monthly fee for "subscriber" content isn't doing them many favors either. Lord of the Rings Online charges $10 a month too (if you pay three months in advance), and it offers waaaaay more content than HG: L. In fact, the only new zone HG: L offers since release is Stonehenge, and that was back in January.
