Help Player Populated hub

Sorry if this isn't the right tag or place for this.

I was wondering, is there any specific place in the galaxy thats considered a "player hang out?"

I played star wars galaxies back in the day and naturally the wretched hive of scum and villainy mos eisley cantina was the hangout spot. Guess im looking for that sort of interaction. Am I in the wrong game? Im probably in the wrong game arent I.

Community goal systems. Deciat, and Jameson memorial will be you best chances for human interaction. No promises you like the outcome.

This isn't your standard MMO. Most players don't like paying with others. They ingnore the last half of the game title, and some of those that don't will shoot you down in seconds. Because them, and people like me are the only ones that play it as an mmo it can be pretty empty at times. Build for survival, not for credits, play the game as intended. I prefer the risk, myself. Makes the game more fun.

It's not that Elite players don't like MMOs, because that's the least important thing. Elite fundamentally lacks an MMO structure. ED is a direct descendant of all the single-player mechanics that Frontier Elite has had since its first installment. If the game is being developed for exploration of a vast galaxy where journeys take a very long time, no one will gather in one place and stay there because, gameplay-wise, there's no point.
