Some further details from another source:
While the launch of Hellgate: London was a disaster in the West, the East seems to be eating up the game, as Flagship Studios today announced that it has become the most successful online video game launch in Korea of the past three years with over 1 million accounts registered within the first two weeks of its open beta test. It is also the first online game in over three years to use a monthly subscription business model.
Hellgate: London quickly rose to the ninth most played online game, fifth most popular RPG and most popular online beta game in country’s PC cafes. Additionally, upon release on February 22, the game achieved record sales in its first week of presales.
