It took me a couple hours, but I tried to write a piece that was in-depth, and hands-on.

There must be a problem on my end, because the game looks like absolute crap. Textures are blurred and choppy, lighting effects are minimal, and characters look blocky.
looks as good as any other modern game using DX9cOriginally posted by: ConstipatedVigilante

If you signed up normally (IE: without the preorder key) you should be getting an invite for each email address you have used now.
I got a couple extras that I sent to friends.

Howdy folks. Just want to give you all a heads-up with a few Beta updates. First, the US Beta will be ending this Friday at 10:00AM PST. This will include a full character wipe. Yeah, I know some of you didn't get to play as long as others, but the final game will be out in the US just a few days later.
That said, some time just before launch (don't have a specific time/date yet), we'll actually be opening the Beta server back up for about a week. "This makes no sense, Kaiser!" Well, maybe not at first, but not everyone will be able to get the game on launch day for various reasons. This way, if you're in the Beta and are still waiting for your game to arrive, you'll still be able to play Hellgate. Also, the characters you create during this time will transfer over into your retail account. Once this happens, any caps/restrictions will be lifted. Yay! The characters will still have the Beta caps on them (such as level caps and such), but you can at least get started with your characters.
Hmm, what else. Oh yeah. You might see a new server environment pop up. This is mostly for testing the Patch 0 features internally, though some of you might be able to see it. There's no guarantee you'll see it, but if you do, at least you'll know what's going on. Also, this is important: if you do see it and get access to it, any characters used on this server will be duplicates, so any changes that occur to your character will not be reflected on the "normal" servers, and vice versa.
Lastly, we'll be starting a European Beta sometime soon. This will be short and to the point, mainly as a last check on our servers. We'll be sending out invites to a select group of Europeans. If this includes you, please, try it out. Though the game will be the same as the current US Beta, one, we need you all to help us ensure the Euro servers are perfect, and two, you can get your European account name before everyone else. Worth it, right? ^_^
Thanks everyone!

OK, the demo sucks but I still have hopes for the game.
The demo is just plain boring and feels very unfinished. There is no formal end to it and the quests just sort of die off. The quests are pretty sucky too.
Why I think there is still hope:
1. For demo purposes it's difficult to throw someone into a later game stage. We are basically stuck with level 1-5 characters so you can learn things. I'm not sure this is indicative of the final product. One of the big features of this game is replayability. There is going to be a very deep item tree and we're not seeing any of it.
2. I still see some diablo in this game. The same logic applies: the "fun" is killing stuff so you are given lots of stuff to kill and they are challenging as a whole, not as individuals. There is still that tactic of "pull small groups back to you" so you don't get overwhelmed. I'm looking forward to seeing some masses of monsters in the final game. The unlimited ammo of the marksman indicates this will be so...it's the same thing you had with the Amazon in Diablo 2.
I'm pre-ordered for the full game so I'll let you know how it goes. This demo does suck tho. Bad.

At level 11 in the beta, I pre-ordered this morning.
This game is one of very few worthy to be pre-ordered.
