Graphics and audio are stunning, and the UI and community are the best I've seen but I'm having a hard time talking myself out of deleting the game after my 8 hour trial.

In terms of grind content VO's missions, mining and trading just don't have the depth for me to want to spend time there after a hard day's work. That's purely personal to me; as an experienced MMO player I know many hardcore PvPers resent PVE content as an unwelcome complexity and I respect their point of view.

I've read a little about ironing bugs out of complex RP missions in beta, but no doubt there are other things in the hopper too:

Will it be possible to reactivate my trial account when the next patch/release comes out, or create a new one? Just a handful of simple and imaginative changes for routine mission grind would make this an exceptionally competitive game.

I wouldn't mind being able to put myself on a mailing list to be notified when the new content comes out either, if possible.

signing up for a new trial is always an option.

I agree with you on that part about a "handful of simple and imaginative changes for routine mission grind" by the way, and I think they are in the pipe.

Check back in a couple months you may be pleasantly surprised.

Heck, check back in one month.
There'll be an explosion of stuff.

Also, there is a check box when you sign up that specifies whether you'd like to hear from us. When we're more confident in the game, we intend to email those who checked that box. And adding 8 more hours to all the expired trial accounts isn't out of the question at that time, but that's John's department. Also, as Kix and Phaser say, there's a lot of new stuff coming over the next few months.
