Server Coming Down on the Hellgate: London Website announces plans to take the servers offline for an update that will offer their promised Halloween content for all players. Also, this forum post (thanks Hellgate IncGamers) has word that the beta grace period for the game is extended for another week, and there's a transcript of the launch IRC session on Xfire (formatted with nifty retro 90s-style HTML). Here's word on the downtime and patch:

Howdy folks. We're taking the servers down just for a bit at 5:30PM PDT. We're going to add a patch that opens up the Halloween content for everyone, subscriber or not. We should be back up shortly. Thanks!
