Is this ANOTHER trial limitation?

Because if it is, why dont they just shove all the trial accounts in a box away from any contact of any player whatsoever, they are already 1/2way there...

I just created this account since i quit a couple months after CoV was released, wanted to see whats been going on and whats happend, sadly, the limitations of the trial make it almost impossible to get any information ingame and basically ruins the 'MMO' feeling of it..

yes, sadly trials are not permitted to join global channels or super groups

most of the limitations were put into place so that spammers dont, well spam lol

it sucks, but it prevents spammers which does help the game overall

Yep, that's another of the trial account limitations. And yes, the communication limitations on trial accounts have been put in place because of the spammers - and if you don't believe me, imagine your chat and email windows overflowing with goldfarm spam from disposable trial accounts that can be replaced within seconds of being banned.

So yeah. This is why you can't have nice things.

Ahh thanks for the replies, so how is the old girl?

When i was playing, there was costume contests and all these colorful people running around, played for 10 mins, saw 3 people...
I'll admitt that Australian timezones are rubbish, besides WoW (Needs to die off, or lose some fanbase) but honestly, i'm not so sure i want to play this game if i can't chat to a few people on the channel, see whats going on.

1 More question, anyone 25+ i think it is, i cannot see them under the team listings, is this a limitation or some sort of rule set inplace for lowbies unable to interact with anyone in the high levels?

Since GR went live a lot of people are over there running new low level characters so that's why you aren't seeing s many people in the regular game and fewer high level characters.

I'm also not sure if anyone has started running things like CC's in the GR zones yet. It may be too soon.

Super sidekicking has made it possible for 1 high level character to take up to 7 people as side kicks on high level missions so teams form a lot faster not having to balance the number of high and low level players for missions.
