I might consider this, if only IGG hadn't required a fucking Social Security number just to be involved in the beta phase of Voyage Century.

I didn't bother to try. I'm quite wary of any outfit that wants my SSN that isn't a bank or government agency.

I didn't sign up for it but I remember someone saying that any old numbers would do.  I find it very, very odd, too, and I'm sure my corporate spook husband would frown at me if I gave away that sort of information.

I've heard some decent reviews from the f2p community of VCO, but I haven't gotten around to trying it yet.

It was decent in beta, a bit grindy/diku in places, but the ship combat was an interesting take. And it has PVP.
