Originally by: Dav Varan 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
Should be no more difficult that if the character was biomass'd.

Trial accounts only, yes. But perhaps a time frame longer than six months.

+1 Definately. Finding names not already taken is hard enough, make it easier. Remove the dead accounts :)

Actually seems like a win/win situation. Freed up resources for CCP (small as it may be) and increased immersion of the player base into Eve.

Was about to rage about this idea when i noticed it was for Trial accounts, maybe amend the header? Providing as has been stated previously "As soon as a Trial account goes active even for a month that account cannot get binned" . I should think that the flag check for Trial is inherently inbuilt into eve and a clean up could be done on an expansion by expansion basis. As i suspect this would be a significant DB hit to do unless it was built into the auto clean up script for items in space. Only drawback with that is it calls a different table and flag, and has no method of calling if the account has been contacted prior to purging with a delay count in order to action the request.
Not a trivial request and potentialy a very high risk proposal but worth doing in the long term given the number of trial accounts that must have existed since Eve started. |

Originally by: Val'Dore I support this in principle, but it is probably going to be more trouble to implement than it is worth.
Implement? That's a couple of SQL queries to purge the accounts and to clean up the associated data afterwards.
Two things:
One, it isn't that simple to erase someone from history in EVE. Even deleted characters are still kept in the database to keep it accurate. Sure a weeker trial who might have only played a day wont really be missed, but is the gain truly worth tampering with the database?
Second, CCP has to make absolutely sure the autowipers don't delete something else. Frankly, it isn't even worth the risk to delete the expired trial accounts. |

Pretty much this, as much as it annoys me that a lot of the really funny troll names are already taken and most of them never activated probably... |

Also supporting removal of trial accounts which never got activated, 3-6 months after their trial period ends. A trial should be used to try out the game, if you don't like it you shouldn't have the privilege of keeping your name for all of eternity.
However this change must be clearly announced in advance so that people who actually have trial alts holding their names can activate them. Not just "oh hi, we accidentaly all your trial alts". |

If trial accounts only, yes.
And even then only if member of a NPC corp at the current time.

This is a great idea....a 4 year old never-subbed account has no value to the user that created it OR to CCp. Let active users take those names and Corps.

Trial Accounts should only remain open for 6 months, if even that. They are only trials and thus were free. CCP has always reserved the right to remove ANY accounts that are inactive (though has never done this).
+1 for Trial Accounts Only
Paid accounts should NEVER be deleted except in the case of a banned account. If an account is permanently banned, it should be deleted and wiped as it is only taking up space (and names!) as well as potentially causing harm to the game - such as holding shares in a corporation (now useless).
Free up names and free up space...sounds good to me.
