I was lured back into an old friend today. It’s not really a great game, but there’s still something addictive about the type of gameplay Hellgate: London has, as seen in the far-too-large number of hours I’ve put into Diablo 2, Titan Quest, etc.

I complained about slow leveling before, but since then I’ve discovered that the trick is to be hunting enemies three levels above you for the maximum amount of xp per kill. Following that guideline, and making a list of zones by the level of monsters found therein, I managed to gain two whole levels today. That’ll let me get a bit further on the main quest, and there’s only three more levels until I hit the cap at 50. I’m not really sure where I want to spend my last few skill points, so I’ll hold on to those for now…
