I agree with the first aid station, although it removes the 'hook' for my EMT character, an emp/elec that is part of a search-rescue battallion attached to the Paragon Fire Dept. Many hours have I spent in the Hollows, waiting for the call for rez/evac. Now players can do that themselves.

You did that too? My tank spent a good deal of time starting in his 20s hanging around the Hollows healing and rez fallen heroes (usually blasters) who insist on "fighting a desperate battle against incredible odds". Got the Medic badge this way.

The SG i belong to Is based around this Whole Idea, except we started in i2 in Perez Park. We Also Hope that the revamp of the zone will make the zone more active so we will have more people to heal and buff. Currently (on infinity) it tends to be about 4 people in the zone at any given time.

Way back when I first started playing, there were people "parked" at the Atlas entrance who offer their Recall Friend services to anyone in Kings Row. It was one of the things that really drew me into CoH: the uber-friendly and kind people who played the game.

They made no changes to the Tunnels. So no.
Just get a map of the Tunnels and memorize the shortest distance to the trial door.

I've done the recall friend duty in the Hollows with my Defender. It's a good way to do a little charity.

Note to self: get the SG beacon for Hollows.
It will give me an excuse to hang around the area and dropping Speed Boost on everyone.
I have a question about the makeover...is it going to be easier to get the Cavern Trail?
I love this trial. Used to run it all the time. I even remember the one time I spent 16+ hours trying to beat it (bad PuGs...no stealth/tp, on some of the attempts...ect) and then completing the first thing the next morning 
However, while I still hit the hollows, I don't make the effort like I did before to not out level the contact.
So just wondering, is it easier now? Cuz that trial is still one of my favorites to do.

Doesn't sound like it will be any easier, other than having the mission doors closer to the contacts. However, I believe you can still do the various arcs with Ouroborus as Flashbacks to open up the trial.
