Fansite HellgateGuru recently conducted an interview with Ivan Sulic, Community Manager on Hellgate: London. A fairly short and sweet interview, worth reading as the questions are composed by players and fans, focusing on gameplay details.

Ivan Sulic: We do have PVP planned. Right now we're considering whether to bind it to specific servers or to designated areas that would be analogous to arenas within all servers. We've yet to decide upon a final course of action in that matter. But there will at least be PVP and it will not impose upon a player's solo or coop game in the least.
