Last option : join us on FR-201 in Moscow. Sadly, the server is in era 3, and is not an express. But otherwise, you could be part of an active corp and we are always looking for active members. You might have a difficult time catching up though, and it might not be very fun for you. Your call.
Hello sacroima,
Thank you for the invitation. I think joining in era 3 sounds like a great way to meet the group and see if I fit in well. I'm a US player, but the French server I joined was the first one starting after I discovered the game. I plan to start day one on the July 5th launch, so I'll still be looking for more immediate groups. One thing I can help with is watching videos and collecting bonuses which must be quite profound in era 3, so I might not be entirely useless.
