My nephew started to play eve with some friends of his. Found out I also play and had been asking a myriad of questions. My question to the community is can I give him one of my characters? Would it violate the EULA? There would be no financial compensation, just a straight gift to put him a couple of years ahead in SP. |

If you set it up as a trade in the character bazaar for 1 isk I'd see no problem with it really. Dunno about gifts but there's not a whole lot of difference between 1 and 0. Save the Domi model! Spacewhales should be preserved. |

It's not the best idea, since you'll be robbing him of one of the defining aspects of EVE.
But it's totally acceptable as far as I know, as long as you actually transfer the character, and not let him use your account. |

If he jumps right to a high skill character he's going to get a fuckton of expensive loss mails and not learn many of the skills being underarmed and outgunned teaches. Maybe you could buy him a set of +5 implants and just help him with fittings instead? Not that I don't think you shouldn't help him but even in easy MMOs like wow if you give someone max level character they will probably never learn how to play their class properly. Leveling and waiting is part of the learning curve. You can skip it but it will be damaging in the long term. This Space Intentionally Left Blank |

As long as you transfer the character, and don't share account details, it's perfectly fine. |

Just use the official character transfer process (which will cost PLEX) and you'll be fine. |

No, no it doesn't. You can't buy and sell characters on accounts younger than 30 days, but I buy and sell 2003 characters all the time on a 2008 account.
You may be referring to the age of the person, in which case... 10 year olds shouldn't play eve at all. 1996 is about the cutoff for IRL player start dates tbh. I win. |

If he was making a joke about the cousin being younger than the character he's getting, the oldest he could possibly be would be 10. (2013 - 2003 is 10 btw)... so in such a situation, I don't think he should quite be playing eve yet :D I win. |

I don't mean to be a party pooper, but I found myself not actually playing EVE for long periods of time while still training my account for the first two months.
After I could fly a BC and BS with T2 modules, I started actually playing. Maybe I was just anal and researched how to play correctly and saw that flying BC and BS without T2 modules for missions was actually not recommended as it was a good way to lose your ship.
Even if you have the ability to fly a T3 ship from day one, as long as you start out with frigs and destroyers and work your way up, then there is nothing wrong with that. It just means as soon as you are comfortable with one level of ship, you don't have to wait weeks to get into the next ship.
If you jump into a T3 ship and fly into low sec in the first hour of game play, then that is just dumb, but if you start out with a 20 million SP character and try each tier of ships, then there is nothing wrong with that.
Secondly, no one is going to be impressed with the ability to wait for skills. Sure, earning isk and ships can be hard work and you can be proud of that, but the skill system is nothing but you waiting around.
And if waiting around for things to happen is a skill to be proud of, then well... I don't know what to say. "Entitlement" is a euphemism for "I hate the way you play and it makes me cry like a baby". If you fantasize about being immoral it means you enjoy being immoral deep down. |

Just make sure the first thing you teach him is to keep his clone up to date, because I suspect he'll get podded a few times. I'm Denzel Washington. |

Check out the character transfer wiki and info in your Account Management page:
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Character_Transfer
And remember that only the character can change hands, not the account:
http://community.eveonline.com/support/policies/eve-eula/
"ACCOUNT TRANSFER / CHARACTER TRANSFER You are not permitted to transfer your Account to another person. If you wish to discontinue your Account please refer to section 6. of this EULA. You may transfer a character from your Account to another account, either belonging to you or another person. This transfer option is available from the EVE Online Account Management web site https://secure.eveonline.com/ and is subject to fees and the following limitations: You may not offer to transfer characters except your own, or act as a "broker" or intermediary (for compensation or otherwise) for anyone wishing to transfer or obtain characters. The transferee will obtain all rights to your character in a single transaction, and you will retain absolutely no control or rights over the characters, items or attributes of that character. You may not transfer any characters whose attributes are, in whole or in part, developed, or which own items, objects or currency obtained or acquired, in violation of the EULA.
Any character transfers or attempted transfers not in accordance with the foregoing terms is prohibited and void, and shall not be binding on CCP. A transfer or attempted transfer of a character is entirely at the risk of the parties to such transaction. CCP is not liable to any person (whether transferor, transferee or otherwise) for any acts, omissions, statements, representations, defaults or liabilities of the parties in connection with such a transaction."

Just buy him some plex on his account have him sell them and buy a better character Any spelling and grammatical errors are because frankly, I don't care!! |

He could quite easily sell a character to his nephew for 0 ISK.
That's pretty much the same as gifting isn't it?

Yes, you could gift/sell character for 0 isk, you can send him isk etc and it would be completly according to the game rules.
HOWEVER, do know that it might look very suspicious(atleast I would think so) to CCP as it can look like RMT when either of you is investigated for it. If your nephew starts selling items with RMT, you'll most likely be banned.
This not only goes for characters, also for isk/in game items. Giving items away to someone whos banned for RMT'ing can get you banned for RMT involvement. Doesn't matter if you knew about his activities or not. Atleast so I've been told.
To be honest, the safest way is to open a petition and ask a GM if he can approve it and confirm that you're 2 different persons,if you can proof that he's your nephew that might help and that are not involved in RMT. |

He will also find it very hard if he wants to join a corp likely on his own long run. This scenario would raise so many red flags for a lot of corps doing recruitment right. |

Yes you can give him a character (it will cost you ofc) No, it doesn't have to go through the bazaar, this only needs to be done if you are selling the character (which can only be sold for ISK according to the EULA)
And I've had this told to me by a GM a couple of months ago
However, said GM also advised me that its better to 'sell through the bazaar' as it affords some protection if something goes wrong (but its family, surely you can trust family...)
For piece of mind, do what has been suggested and sell for a stupid low price, confirming it via a thread in the bazaar that both you and your nephew post to |

Giving him a high level character will rob him of the games learning curve and due to the age of the character. people will hold him to standards that he cannot possible live up to. We miss you Saede. |
