its closed because people fight over helga too much and causes too many problems
if they can't share the toy, no one can play with it

If they're fixing/tweeking helga, then I believe be turn into an instance dungeon. This way, everyone get their "fair chance" at helga. This mean, no controlling or bickering over helga. Since they're turning it into an instance dungeon, farming can get out of hand.
OS should as raise the lvl req and slightly raise the stats of the helga equips. But in exchange, they should make helga harder. Because it is also an instance dungeon, every guild have a shot at helga. Maybe make a quest that can be repeated once every few day or week by the guild master. This quest allow the guild master and his guild to enter and fight helga. To avoid certain member to leave/quit the current guild to join an alt guild for farming, give the participant the same waiting time as the guild master.
This is just my idea anyway :P.

I just have this feeling that this is what's being negotiated with OnSonSoft right now.

It's closed because they don't rely on it as a money-maker anymore. They want us to focus on leveling now. Helga's tomb will reopen after people stop buying exp boosts, leveling packs, and charms. They don't need Helga's Tomb right now, they are creating a demand for Helga weapons and when it does reopen it will be strong enough so it requires a lvl 105 to use 70% charms and cs pots just to stay alive.
Also, I'm sure they will boost the exp. rates in DT soon after they are done milking the players who buy the exp boost, charms, leveling packs...etc.
It's thier game, they can do what they want but i've seen enough of these content additions and removals to see the pattern. They remove something, people complain, they stall, then they play dumb, tell us bold faced lies...when it's good for them, they promote what they are going to do, ppl say "oh OS, you're my hero...finally you listened to us..thank you thank you thank you." Then, after whatever it is that's been promoted, it's not really what they claim it to be. "but that's ok, we know you have nothing to do with content, you couldn't possibly have known what to expect from a patch coming all the way on a steam ship from Korea....the world is so big and communication is so slow these days...we understand."
edit: Helga will never be an instance dungeon because everyone would have a hellgait within days and the rarity of the weapon which is a huge factor in peddling thier trinkets in the cash shop would be gone too fast.

Ermmm they DID close it cause it caused problems. People were hogging and caused fights not because they aren't making money. -.- Sheesh. Guilds pretty much farmed them and hogged the area.
And not making money from HG? They make TONS of money from HG, the more HG, more ppl buy, the more people will +9. And HG is not meant to be rare anymore, a level 100 weapon has pretty much teh same. If Outspark wants to make Helgaits an END GAME weapon, it has to be 105 and super rare. And you 're saying it should be rare? when a level 100 +9 is pretty much a Helgait. And no offense but right now Helgaits aren't even rare anymore. Most level 9x have them from the past opening. So what you are saying kind of doesn't make sense LOL
Plus Outspark wants to make this game fair, that's why they nerfed HGs b4. And supposedly there is a high level boss named Karen :P better then helga. So Helgaits will never be end game ;)

Fair... lolz. :3
I see the nerf as a way to~
1. Shut up the whiners.
2. Make it so we have to stack charm in aoe parties [like in ToS, AR, etc etc~]
->If they weren't nerfed we wouldn't need to stack, or maybe not even charm at all to get a good aoe going in the above mentioned places~
:3 Just my own opinion though.
I kinda miss the Tomb though, I loved going there just to jack the T4 pots I saw shining on the ground. 8D

If problems were the reason HT was closed, it would have been closed LONG before cap-raise. Nobody else finds that the least bit fishy?
I didn't say they didn't make money from HG, I said they have another source of income now and don't need HT like they did before cap raise. They will keep it closed until the sc purchases drop off enough. And yes, Helgaits are still rare. Why are so many people asking for HT to be open again?
As far as nerfing is concerned...I'm not against it either but when the GM stays up all night lieing to us in real time as patch is being worked on, I was kind of mad. Also, why keep the fact that they are being nerfed a secret until we log in after cap-raise patch? If, in fact, like you are giving them credit for having them nerfed, they knew about it all along.
I see you have 2 level 3 characters on this account...I don't know what your history wiith this game is and i'm not going to assume you haven't been here for very long, but when it comes to this game, I do have a clue and I know what i'm talking about.

Helgas Tomb was closed for several reasons. One was to investigate the balance since Helga was so easy for players to kill.
The other was because we could not share. Look at it this way, picture the company as a mother watching her two children play. One child has a toy that the other wants to play with, but the other child will not let him. The other child pushes the kid that wants to play and a fight ensues. The child that was pushed cries to mommy.
Mommy says 'If you cannot share, you cannot have it' and takes the toy away.
EDIT: To correct my previous statement Helgas Tomb, the announcement regarding the closure of helgas tomb takes place around the time of the first half of the cap raise. The second half of the cap raise was completed may 19th.
If you'd like to read Outsparks announcement regarding why Helga's Tomb was closed it is stickied at the top of the announcements section. However, here is the link:

On Topic: As we all know by now, Helga's Tomb has to be manually closed after each server restart. As its now closed, I'll do the same with the thread.
