While I would say that most people moaning about "names being already taken" usually try to choose some inane moniker like "xXxGankerxXx" or trying to have a ripoff from some movie, book or whereever I'd support the idea of cleaning up the account database. Trial accounts only.
Though I think that would never happen as that would drastically reduce the number of accounts EvE Online can claim to have.

Supported, usual caveat of old trial accounts only. Non-trial accounts, obviously, have worthwhile stuff, and have paid for the privilege of keeping their account info active in the system. |

I saw a cool name (which probably isn't even a name but a description) and I want it. I am not capable of thinking of a name myself.
Seriously, sometimes people do come back after a long time and you absolutely don't ever do this or they are pissed off and gone for good. Very bad business practise. |

I would be curious to know just how much server space would be freed up if they deleted all the trial accounts.

Dormant paid accounts too.
What right do you think you are 'owed' if you paid 14 dollars for 1 month and then didnt play for 7 years?
If you do not pay for your car lease, it gets repo'd If you do not pay for your house mortgage, the bank takes it back If you do not pay rent, you get thrown out.
Only in eve you pay nothing - you still 'own it'.
Put in a 6 month to a 1 year dormant state clause, if that hapens your player gets COPIED to a backup server. If you come back - you pick a new name if your old one is taken and life goes on.
When an account goes dormant the player is forced into an npc corp as well.
There is no way for a corp to know currently if a player is 'active' or not.
If I didnt pay for 1 year - i would fully expect to 'lose something', and with my above suggestion, I do not lose my 'skill time' i have put in the game, I just lose my magical name that I seem somehow so attached to a digital character.

Its not about whats owed or not owed, and its not about revenge for not subscribing longer, its about ensuring we don't end up in a shallow name pool.
The vast majority of names are held on trial accounts. Deleting trial accounts is unarguably fair, and will release 75% of the names, at least. The only benefit to deleting paid accounts is that it will release specific names people might want.
In exchange, it makes the chance of those people resubscribing almost zero. Think about it, if you played for a while, decided eve needed growing time and left it for two years, came back and discovered that your name had been taken from you, would you feel charitable toward the publisher?
Of course not. So from that standpoint, trial account is all that's neccisary.
And its $21 to subscribe for the first time. |

CCP makes a big deal out of reputation in Eve. For that reason, I don't think past subscribers should lose their names. There might be some previously-notorious names in that last that haven't played in years, but their names should forever be associated with their characters.
Of course, wiping out characters would wreck things like killboards that rely on being able to look up character names. |

Trial accounts that haven't been activated after a month after their trial expired should be purged automatically. A trial is there for you to see whether you like the game or not, not to reserve yourself a character name in case you decide to play it three years from now.
I am not sure about paid accounts which went inactive a long time ago. I would like a solution where you keep your name unless someone else actually creates another character with the same name. When that happens, you get renamed to Caldari Citizen 1234567, and get a free character rename ticket. Either way, there definitely needs to be a long timer on it, a year, maybe two after your account went inactive. |

Confirming that I couldn't come up with a name that hadn't already been taken for this character, and for some reason the word "Salinate" popped into my head, and I changed one letter....

Reputation IS important, so don't wipe accounts that were ever actually paid, even if only for a couple months. If someone paid to subscribe once, they might just pay again, after all...
Trial accounts, on the other hand, can safely be deleted a year after they've expired. Really, that's probably more then enough time. |

I actually want my own name that I took with a trial account attached to an email, at a place I am no longer employed. I think.
But if names were freed up, I could recover it :-D Inappropriate signature removed, CCP Phantom. |

+1 I support the removal of trial accounts.
I'm not so sure about messing with account that have paid at one time or another. As someone else mentioned, names and reputations mean a lot in Eve.
If you put a timer on those accounts, can you imagine the rush to snag a famous name, 1 year (or whatever) after someone famous has left the game.
