Due to large number of inactive corporations with 1-few members, lots of good names/tickers are unavailable for public usage. What I suggest is make a weekly pay for HQ. If someone really want to keep the corp name, he will pay it. It should be a little amount of ISK, like 1-few millions, so if someone isnt coming back to EVE it will disband, and the corp name/ticker will be once again available.
Are inactive members really more important than the active?
Looking forward for CCP response on the matter. And your opinions guys.

If you want a corp name, and you think the 1man corp is inactive, petition ccp. They can kick he ceo out and close the corp..

I agree.
Paying a monthly fee to use a corp name is a good idea. ___________________________________________________ Idea: Train 3 alts at the same time solution. |

I like the idea. It should not be much of a fee. Just a fee so that the database knows that someone is paying attention.

Don't tell this guy, he thinks CCP is ripping us all off anyhow. But yeah, why not, a simple 'administrative surcharge' of 1000isk per month to CONCORD. ------------------------------------------------ You either need a punch up the throat or a good shag.

As someone who has had a broken PC for long periods I'd hate to lose the corp I started 3 or 4 years ago just because my PC is broken.
I agree that dead, zero man corps and alliances should be deleted from the DB though, which probably happens already.
The real problem though is that picking names uses the same DB table or whatever as alliance name, alliance short name, corp name, corp ticker, and character names.
So for example, because of the inactive noobcorp player names Abyss, from 2003, I could not have my first choice of corporation name/shortname...
Its frustrating, but 1 month is hardly a fair "activity timeout" for a lot of Eve's players.

HQ should have a rent just like an office, only smaller (perhaps a flat rate). Will cure a lot of this reaaaal quick. ---

I have a better idea! Corp names should be like url's, if you want an url thats taken then you would have to pay for it. If people lack the creativity to come up with something cool, then sees someones elses name and then goes "Waaaa I want that name" then you should pay for it Caveo of Minmatar , torva vacuus regimen of deus es plurrimi periculosus of bestia

Edited by: Serge Bastana on 28/09/2009 10:19:44 I was trying to think how it would affect dead corps but yeah, it does make sense, their office rents may have long expired, if they ever had any but the HQ can just sit there without an office forever.
Even with the new feature in the corp window to auto pay rents (being tested on SiSi), the wallet is going to run dry eventually. ------------------------------------------------ You either need a punch up the throat or a good shag.

Kind of agree with this, especially since the new tax "laws" are going to force a lot of players to create 1 man corporations, every name/ticker under the sun is going to be taken soon. |

i propose an alternative
the 'Hostile Takeover' a corp can put down any offer, even 1 isk to the shareholders to take that corp over. they have 1 month to decide. if ZERO votes are taken on the matter, the corp is automatically taken over. this makes sure that inactive corps are closed. the problem with having a small fee to make sure corps arent inactive is.. if someone has 100 mill in their corp wallet, they can just continue to have their inactive corp active for several years. these hostile takeovers will also encourage LOTS of corps to go out there and try to find inactive corps in the hope of taking over their assets.
I have a good feeling this would work very very well.

At the moment yes, but there is a new feature being tested on SiSi right now, which I discovered the other day that lets you automate the payment process for various bills. Those with corp access can go check out the new tabs on the test server.
This would allow someone to set their bills payment to auto once Dominion rolls around, should these features be implemented as is, and go on a jolly holiday to Pluto. ------------------------------------------------ You either need a punch up the throat or a good shag.

correct me if I'm wrong here, but if an account goes inactive doesn't the wallet go inactive also? So if someone has 100mil in their wallet it makes no difference...once the account goes inactive the funds in the wallet are frozen.
When I recently reactivated my alt's account I could not use the ISK that was still in the wallet until the account was actually active. --------------------------------------------------

Are MMO players as a whole really so stupid that they can't come up with an original name?
Is it true that the internets haz suxed ur branz out?
Sheesh... there are only about 10 billion combinations of letters that haven't been used yet for tickers.
As for names...
Darth Vader, Darth vaader, Darth vador, xdarthvaderx. darthvader1, darthxvader, etc....

Names are one, if not The founding stones of this game, it's what make you - you, your corporation your corporation.
The identity is what makes us unique, removing that no matter reason simply fails the game imo.

Why is it on every thread you always get one person that trys and ruins what has been a perfectly valid thread and discussion.
With that said id quite like to keep my employment history without it being Deleted because somone wants to reuse the name of a corp i was once in.

Agreed. Names mean much more in EVE where the actions of a single player or corporation can potentially affect everyone in the game. If names of inactive corps were freed up, the first thing we'd see is people claiming the names of all the old, famous and now inactive corporations. These corps deserve to keep their history, they helped shape EVE and had a big impact on many players.
I have an alt holding an old corp of mine, we were never particularly well known (although I still occasionally get contacted about mercenary work), if I made the corp again I'd probably choose a different name, but that name is attached to some of the best fights I've ever had. If I was to go back to empire wars, I'd definitely want to do it under that name. If you're a member of Space Mining and Industrial Corporation, you probably aren't too attached to the name, but then no one else with any imagination is likely to complain that it's taken. |

Definitely don't want people taking the names of old corps/alliances that have had a major influence in Eve, but I do agree that there needs to be some mechanism to free up old inactive names.
I have an idea for such a mechanism, but I will post that another day in the appropriate forum.
Seriously though, people really need to try and be more original with their names. My name for example is "Shirei Fenikkusu", which means "Commander Phoeinx" in Japanese. I would bet anything that the name "Commander Phoenix" is already taken; however, using the translation allowed me to create a character with a name that had the same meaning, but unique.
Sure, someone can always come along and add an extra character to my name, but who has the original correct spelling?

There's a reason some folks hold a corp open using an alt.. Mostly because it *has* such a cool name.
Any automatic 'sorry, you forgot to click here...you're gone' mechanic is pretty damn bogus. (And more than one alliance has gone *poof* because of this).
I'd hate to lose the IEEE ticker to 'oops..didn't click here'. --

I would suggest that after 3 consecutive years of inactivity a corp name is returned to the pool and the old corp renamed 'Player Corp 8325274' so all the assets and such will still be around if they ever decide to resub.

CCP needs to delete any trial account which has not logged in in over a year. They also need to delete any corporation that has been closed or the CEO has not been active for at least a year. Way too many names are taken right now due to trial accounts and 1 man corps which belong to long long inactive CEO accounts.

gawd your all ******s. the CEO already pays this. its called having an office in a station. can go from around 250k to 500m a month or more. Do some research before posting this non sense. Btw, its his business if he wants to be alone in a corp. Perhaps theres a good reason for it so before saying "make him pay cause he's alone" ask yourself why his he alone in the first place.
