Hellgate London - Beta FAQ Update @ Official Site

The official site for Hellgate:London has put up a  FAQ  in answer to some of the issues people have encountered trying to sign up for the open Beta for Flagship's upcoming action rpg. Here's an example:

Q: I signed up for the Beta using the big link on the front page but haven't received my invite yet. What gives?

A: We have literally thousands of people waiting to get in. As mentioned, we have to let in people in waves. This is, after all, a Beta test. To make sure our online service is in top shape come Halloween, we need to test things gradually. We know you guys want to play right now, and we want you all to be in the game, but this is something we have to do to make sure the game is the best it can be come launch day.

There's also some discussion about the problems people have had with pre-order codes and account creation, some of which appear to have been resolved. Also, there's no indication that they have closed the sign-up, and the FAQ states they will be testing beyond October 7th. It appears a big part of the testing involves the server functionality.
