I think the idea to stop 14 day trial accounts from going into 0.0 is a good one. What can you really do in 0.0 if you're less than two weeks old, and truly a new player? 0.1 and above will be plenty exciting at that age.
Also about the two spaces left on your account, see how effective scouting is using one account. It's too much of pain to be very viable.

Just make it so you can only run 1 eve per comp. Would solve alot as most people just run 2+ eve's when you want to scout including me . . . It's not hard to do this they just need to add code checking if the game is already running.

The acc are there, To Get people hook on the game and to let other people use and asbue it, No reason to take it out, There always something in the game, We can't stand. But they are not going to change it just because a few people dont like it. If they did that, The game would be just for them 3 people.

You miss the point, those aren't so bad since you have to log out of your main and onto the alt to scout around. You cant have 2 instances of EVE logged into the same account so at most you're still only using one. With a trial account alt however you can have more then 1 instance of EVE running, having the alt scout systems at the same time as your main.

Why have trial accounts on TQ anyway? I'd much prefer if CCP set aside 1 server and loaded it with 1 or 2 regions and made trial accounts play there. I don't know how many trial accounts are active at one time but I'm sure there are enough so they don't feel alone. A trial account shouldn't be able to have any affect on the gameplay of a live account for better or worse. The conversion rate of trial accounts to a paying customer would dramatically increase (statistically at least) as those who create trial accounts with no intention of ever paying would stop. So CCP would get a better idea of how many new customers they are attracting through marketing and how many of those convert to a paying aco****. Players get the benefit of reduced lag, congestion, isk seller spam and isk farmers to name a few. The downside is that the honest trial account doesn't get to see the game in all it's glory and splendor.

You may get flamed but that's not such an outrageous idea although I'm sure it would be hell of a logistics effort for CCP and they won't deem it worth the bother. I do agree it would give a massively more accurate picture of who's actually a new player rather than abusing the system.
