I am at a point where I am seriously considering destroying all my assets and characters and starting over. Problem is every time I get to that point I start thinking well I will just save this and keep that. I actually thought it would be easier to just let go of old characters, guess what, not so easy after all.
Just wondering if anyone has gone down this path and destroyed everything and started over from scratch ?

There's no point in starting over your skill training. It's a complete and meaningless waste of time to do so. |

I've been through a divorce, which counts as losing (mostly) everything and starting over. Depending on the circumstances it can be quite refreshing. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the ho's and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!' and I'll look down, and whisper 'Hodor'. |

Well, should you decide to start over - please send any ISK or valuable assets to Khira Kitamatsu - I will put them to good use. :)

No if I do it I will destroy a stupid amount of Assets and ISK all will go straight in the trash can. And yes I know starting over training again does hold me up some but when your character's are over 100k SP you now need ISK to support them, so it comes down to all or nothing and hence my problem. |

Why waste assets and ISK? THink of the harm you could do to the EVE economy. At least in this way you are still contributing to the betterment of the game by allowing the assets and ISK to remain a part of it. Please reconsider your intentions. :) Ponies!-á We need more ponies! |

Why?
In a game like Eve where there is absolutely no point in starting from scratch (other than a severely tarnished reputation), why would you even consider it?
I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all. |

Do you seriously think I'd have this name if I thought starting over was a good idea?
This was meant to be a character that lived 2 weeks or so while I learned the basics of EVE.
That was over 4 years ago. |

Sell all your assets on market,
Sell all your characters on the Character Bazaar,
Either,
Buy new character that you like off Character Bazaar with the isk
Start a new character from scratch with lots of isk
Or,
Keep what you have & crosstrain R.I.P. Vile Rat |

Starting over like that in EvE Online is like cutting a loud fart at a wedding reception, no matter how badly you wish you could take it back the embarrassment of that moment will last forever. |

Accounts can have 3 characters on them, just start a new one and never log into that character again. |

Take a PLEX and resculpt your pilot.
He'll look new, you'll feel better and you won't make a pointless mistake you'll later regret. Jafit McJafitson- "try scamming people. it's like PvP, but with words. Their greed is your warp scrambler, your lies are your autocannons."

Done that several times myself over the years.
But I wouldn't recommend it unless there's a reason for disliking the character. If you do decide to trash the character then transfer the assets to the new one first.
If you been playing with a reasonable amount of sp then the chances are if you restart you won't enjoy the game as much as you won't be able to do as many things to start with.
So in short don't restart a character that has been around awhile if it has a reasonable amount of sp. Better to change the look of the portrait and don't worry about having skills trained that you've decided you no longer need. |

If the reason for trashing the character and assets is that you don't want a link to past corps/alliances then you have two options: 1. Make a new character and transfer assets to the new character, then delete the old character and make a new playable character transfer the assets from the holding character then delete that holding character as well. 2. Just park the account and start a new one. |

Just like training different alts for different combat purposes , train several times the same base skills, it's just idiot for little advantage considering you can do the same for free just by playing with other people.

Just roll a new account and forget the password on the old one. If you get tempted to ever login to it then you will know.
Otherwise its pointless to delete everything on a time-based game. |

I did this to race swap, it was worth it for me but I did lose 3 years of skill training. But I sold my character and used the isk on this character. There are times where I do regret it a bit but I am happy I did it but I had my reasons. |

Don't do it, you'll regret it later on. I had a nice late 2004 toon that was pvp specced and would've worth tons had I decided to sell it but i foolishly biomassed that character. To date I still regret it.
If you're hellbent on getting rid of it... Sell it for ISK and turn it into PLEX... BOOM Free months if not years of game time. Biomass should be used as absolute last resort.
Good luck with your decision. |

Why not just make a new character and give all your stuff to them? You should be notified if someone quotes your post so you can continue the argument! |

I started playing in 2005 (I think it was). Got a character up to about 50m skill points and then sold it. I eternally regret the decision. |

Meh, I has two toons going back to 2007 or so. I just didn't like them. So I stopped playing them.
I guess I could sell them. Just not interested. To repeat, the skill split is scheduled for the big Summer 2013 expansion. ~CCP Fozzie |
