Blocking trials is one thing, blocking arkhe's from entering is different.

Trial accounts can join corps in order for them to get a better idea how the game plays. If they join a beta or gamma corp, but then can't acutally join them on the island, then that purpose is defeated.

To be clear, I'm not talking about corps that own an outpost, but live on alpha, and this is especially true when we do get gamma colony's.

Arkhe's, if you ban them from Beta/gamma, then you'll need to give players that die and respawn at beta outposts a different bot.

Fresh whine-breeze, I missed that

"you're not in an MMO to make friends, you're there to make enemies "

I think all the responses from CIR and friends should be disregarded as they are the ones actually doing it heavily right now. Would love to hear a neutral voice on the matter and no neutral trial accounts please.

I think all the responses from M2S and friends should be disregarded as they originally attempted to do the same thing and failed miserably (http://perp-kill.net/?m=related&id=240521) then decided to take it to the forums to pressure Developers instead of getting some elitepvprz goodfites going.

Theres really not much difference who it is being used on. My stance on it would be the same even if the receivers would be you, or any other guy. The thread here is just because I think right now the issue got nicely highlighted.

Why can't there be such restrictions? There used to be quite a few of these a while back, some even way more restricting and people managed. Having beta or gamma access on a week old newbie is absolutely not vital.

EVE has different game mechanics in 00 and low space so theres absolutely no reason to compare these two. I didn't play EVE back in the days it was new so I don't really know much about its restrictions, but Im fairly sure there were quite a few of "mechanics" that got abused to hell and then removed before it reached the stage it is now.

0/10 attempt.

Every trial account should probably require a legally binding disclaimer if they will sub the account or not, in case they answer negatively automatically ban them?

Also would have to limit amount of characters that can be created per account to 1.

Don't ask me why the trial restrictions were lifted, I was happy with them at the level when they first came out; no market access, no corps, no passing NIC, ect ect. But apparently that provided a crappy first experience with the game.

The reason why then, is that AC doesn't want to 'punish' actual would-be players to curb casual trial useage by veterns.

By casual use, I mean using 1 or 2 trial accounts. AC always leaves themselves some wiggle room in the EULA, but basically if you have 20 trial account mining termis's and someone reports it, they'll be removed. Or if, say a corp were to create 900 trial accounts, and use arkhes as bombs to blow up a gamma base, that would probably be seen as exploiting.

1 arhke, I guess they figure you should be able to deal with it yourself, without developer intervention.

There's only 2 'free' ways into any island, if said arhke's are using inter-island TP's, then they aren't doing it 'free', they are just being creative... you do know that you can blow up TP's even on alpha right?

I so damn hope it's Jasdemi doing that! Go-go buddy!

OMG, I can't stop laughing....  This is the most fun I have had readin the forums, since yesterday when I got to see a light ewar gang get destroyedzor and everyone in Comms kept going "MYYY  TEEEEEEEE FFFFFOUUUURRRRR SPPPPEEEEEDDDDDD NNNNEEEEEXXXXXUUUUSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!1111oneone.. agahah..  I love this game!

ROFL .. that little girl must have an allergy
