I woud like to propose to CCP that the twelveteen million or so dead/dormant trial accounts that have never been activated since trial end from the last 7 years be deleted and the names contained therin released for new players/characters.
CCP can simply send an email giving them notice (like the emails we all get inviting us back after 6 months of not playing) and then terminating the accounts after the given time. My proposal is for dormant TRIAL accounts only. If a player has activated then in all fairness they should be able to keep name and character for any future use.
Thoughts?

I totally agree with this if it regards trial accounts only and a 30 day notification is sent beforehand.

Yes for cleaning up the character namespace. It even makes the DB guys happy. ________________________ CCP: Where fixing bugs is a luxury, not an obligation. |

I kinda agree with this one. IMHO, it should be accounts that are more than six months expired and with two million or less skill points. That will clean up a lot of the namespace, and clean up the servers as well.

I support this in principle, but it is probably going to be more trouble to implement than it is worth.

If it was only a trial and never activated after a year, it makes sense to toss them in the meat grinder.
This signature is useless, but it is red.

Edited by: Alejan Gerakh on 30/06/2011 16:37:11 I will agree this, only applied to trial accounts as already suggested, is probably a good idea, even though this character was one that laid dormant as an unactivated Trial for a year or two before friends dragged me in full-speed. ---- "Sounds like a bad case of pikal envy, if you ask me."

Agreed.
However, any char that has ever been made non-trial should be left untouched.

Ya, any trial account over 6 months old should be given notice and then removed.

Implement? That's a couple of SQL queries to purge the accounts and to clean up the associated data afterwards. ________________________ CCP: Where fixing bugs is a luxury, not an obligation. |

If those players have interacted with others ( contracts / Kill mails ) there will be broken links in the database.
e.g. You killed a trial account player and got a kill mail to him/her. ccp deletes the players record.
You kill mail is now broken because it point to a victim who no longer exists.
I support renaming them to [Caldari|Amarr|Minmatar|Gaylentte] Citizen ####### though
