Flagship has just announced that they will be holding the Beta period in grace for yet another week. 21st of November is the last (last) day of the Beta. Accounts that has not been activated by a registration code by then will be suspended. I would assume it is still possible to reactivate the beta account after 21st, but it will at any rate not be possible to play without registration.» Read More

Hellgate London
According to the latest statistics released by online community and data aggregation tool Xfire, the number of hours spent playing online PC games by its community of over 8 million players fell further in October.
"We think that the most reasonable explanation is the release of major console titles - Halo 3 came out September 25th - which shows that a lot of Xfire users are console gamers too," says Xfire's senior director of marketing, Frederic Descamps.
"However with the release of the widely anticipated titles Hellgate: London (October 31) and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (November 5), we have seen a 10 per cent increase in daily gameplay for November as compared to October."

For anyone having problems running Hellgate: London (or other power craving game) there is a competition up on the Unofficial Hellgate: London Site to win one of two new PNY 8800 GTX graphics cards.
"Over the next two weeks we'll be running a competition where two lucky winners will be souping up their system with a PNY 8800 GTX 768Mb graphics card. We thought it would be fun and beneficial for everyone (even those not entering the competition) if we focused the competition on Hellgate information. What you can do to be in with a chance of winning is simply contribute. The contributions can be news posts, movies or guides."

Via Ripten:
"Unfortunately, the launch of Hellgate: London in Asia didn't start well and it has taken a turn for the worse. Crashing problems wreaked havoc on the servers early, and all attempts to patch the issues failed. This left the Hellgate team with only one option, a complete character wipe. Apparently some areas of the world have easier access to hell than others."
Official Comment after the jump.

Hellgate: London's experienced a rocky launch. Problems have ranged from players levelling criticism at the game mechanics to a percentage of those opting to subscribe for extra content finding credit cards double-charged (an issue which has now been resolved, according to Flagship).
In response to the upheaval, Flagship has outlined its current top priorities for the game and promises that it's working hard to address issues. A forum post reads as follows:

During the last few days there has been reports from the players that the fans wanting that "little extra" in Hellgate: London, have sometimes gotten more than they hoped for. Subscriptions eroneously entered in US/EU instead of the opposite, multiple charges of the monthly fees, and no subscriber content for paying subscribers. "Founders" (life time subscription members) seems more commonly having problems than others. Representatives from Flagship Studious / Ping0 has been asked to comment, but have not yet replied.» Read More

While you could complain a bit about the launch and "Patch 0" in the US/EU region, with the hassle, and a few hours downtime, the Southeast Asian fans have gotten it a lot worse. They didn't receive "Patch 0", so they missed the whole Halloween content. They were to receive "some other" patch today, to at least give them the full game (lvl 22-50, and later areas of the game), but it seems that have also caused problems. If this error is due to something that Flagship Studios are responsible for or if it is the distributor IAHGames of the region is unknown. The fans of SEA are still hoping for a quick solution, but for how much longer will they wait? One week in "internet time" is a year in "real life time".» Read More

The "Patch 0" that was supposed to be available on launch day for all Hellgate: London players has been slightly delayed, and the Southeast Asian members of the community forums has made vocal complaints at the lack of the Halloween content as well as being able to go beyond lvl 22 (lvl 50 for US and EU players). While they are still behind the patches of the US and EU servers, IAHGames have now release Patch 0.» Read More

The fans of Hellgate: London have been quite upset on how the launch and services of Hellgate: London has been handled in South East Asia. As the game's dreaded "Patch 0" needed recompilation before local release, it has been delayed, at many fans dismay. For one thing, all fans missed out on the Halloween content, and the patch that will be released now is not even certain that it is the "Patch 0", or if it might just be some major hotfix. IAHGames, the distributor, only tells the fans that there will be a patch.» Read More

Flagship has released the patch notes for tonight's patch, which also includes a host of updates and fixes (including enabling Elite mode for non-subscribers!) coming in alongside the Guy Fawkes content. They apparently realise the need to have bug fixes as well as content updates, which is good news for their fans.
Here is a few highlights:
"Graphics
* Overall memory usage improved, especially in Stations. This increases client stability, reducing "memory exhausted" crash issues.
Engineer
* Drones stats/items now save on logout.
* Drones now properly receive Armor and Shields when equipped with armor using the Armor Retrofit skill."

Some have been worried that Hellgate: London would flop horribly (or perhaps was hoping for it), but it seems the people playing the game has gone up since release. Its hard to take any real numbers without asking Flagship Studios, who obviously are occupied with other things at the moment, such as fixing any bugs that might have "slipped" in with the game, but its possible to see a comparison between other games who use Xfire.» Read More

Apparently, Phillipines isn't the only place releaseing Hellgate prematurely. As Kaiser mentions it on HGL.com, it is probably a lot more widespread than that:
"We're aware that some retailers have started selling Hellgate: London a day early. While the game had shipped to stores, they were not supposed to start selling copies until Wednesday, October 31st. This means that while some people have been able to get their hands on the game a day early, they aren't able to get onto the multiplayer servers. This is because we are not starting service until Halloween. We apologize for any inconvenience and frustration that has been caused trigger-happy stores. When the servers go live, we'll make sure to post a notice on www.hellgatelondon.com and www.flagshipstudios.com so that there is no confusion.
Thanks for your support of the game and we'll see you online very soon!"
