I will concur with this in the fact that the FOH channel has definately made my 2nd time around doing the trial much more enjoyable to where there is a good possibility I'll stay in this for the long haul. My first time doing the trial I didn't interact with anybody really and there is definately a difference just by being able to talk to people, get some feedback and some help from time to time.
I still have a gripe though, maybe I'm misundstanding something and somebody can fill me in:
Is there anything else to do other than run missions if you want to do PvP eventually?? So far my time online has been spent being bored and being less bored once I figured out some basics. The lvl 1 missions I'm doing are just a joke. I can aggro the whole deadspace area and have no problems just by sniping away in my Rifter. I tried to do some ratting this morning in a .6 sector and just flew from asteriod field to asteriod field, found 2 pirates and killed them and that was it in about 90 minutes of time. I'm going to try a DED Complex tonight, but is much of the beginning time spent just having to grin and bear it?? If I do decide to pay after the two weeks are up I'll go enroll in EVEU and maybe that will make a difference. Just wondering though if I'm missing something else though?
I can see that down the road this game can be amazing just from the small gang PvP out there, but I can also see how people can easily give up as once you even get a semblance of an idea of what's going on you are confronted with the need to do something ad nasuem to get to the point where there is fun to be had.
