Good news for folks who were hoping to get more freebies out of Flagship Studios' Hellgate: London. They've just announced that, contrary to earlier information given, Achievements in Hellgate: London will no longer be a subscriber-only feature. Instead, it'll be made available to everyone who's playing the MMORPG.

Not sure what these so called Achievements are for Hellgate: London? Then here's a quick recap: Achievements are long-term goals for players that can be unlocked through normal play. For example, after killing a certain number of zombies, your Achievement log shows a potential achievement for zombie killing that can be unlocked by killing more zombies. Rewards are numerous and varied, ranging from a tag you can add to your name to particle effects that can be made available for your character.

In any case, this news is certainly delightful, as it can motivate players to have more fun in the attempt to fulfill a goal they've set. Hellgate: London will be made available to players everywhere come Halloween.
