I am new to eve online, just signed up about 4 days ago and as all new players do, I filled up all my slots with characters to see what the different races are like, I have figured out what I want to play as now. So I go to delete my characters so I can have the slots back and start right.... why is it that I have to wait 10 hours for my characters to delete. Couldn't it just be like other mmo's where it deletes instantly. Cause I wanna play, and I don't wanna have to wait 10 hours. Could you change it or something to allow us newbs a chance to experiment? PS: if an admin reads this.. is there anyway for you to get rid of my characters fast so I can play? PPS: mabey if you don't change the deletion time, could you have an active channel in game so we can request it or something?

as far as i'm aware the cooldown time is to slow down alt recycling and isk farming.

correct!
also, i know of at least one guy whose girlfriend went to delete his 3 year old character, only to be foiled by the 10 hours cooldown!

lol what was his GF doing with access, isn't that againg the EULA.
anyways, the 10 hour cooldown is a last defence against ISK farmers, and it lets you decide whether you really want to get rid of a char or not, in the case mentioned above it saved his rear :)

This game is all about waiting for skills to train. If you can't wait 10 hours, what's it gonna be like when you have to wait 40 days for Battleship 5?
This may not be the game for you.

Girlfriend with access to boyfriends three year old character, bad medicine. Why did she try to delete it in the first place? -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase:

Edited by: Wes DiPietro on 02/04/2009 20:02:10 What I mean is more like.. for newer players you should be allowed to instantly delete your character, and then, mabey after 2 weeks that privilege gets taken away and you have to wait 10 hours. Im just saying... for us newer players who want to experiment first before we pick a character for sure.. it might be a good idea!

wes, it would take less time to crosstrain for a different races ships and weapons then it would take to delete a character and wait the 10 hours, and would serve you much better in the long run.
there are no real differences between the races. pick one you like the look of.

Cooldown is to stop: 1. drunk/rage char deleting. Thsi reduces it a LOT, so reduces petition load 2. account being compromised and chars deleted. with the cooldown it is a lot more likely this can be avoided 3. recycling alts (suiciding, isk spamming) 4. probably a server load reduction as well Guide to forum posting |
