I'm leaving my account(s) to my grandson who is six years old right now. Only thing is, with this life expectancy thing, I have another 32 years before I have to start worrying about not logging in anymore. Yeah. I have more time left than a lot of "youngsters" have been alive thus far. Can you believe that? If you can't, you better start, 'cause it was only yesterday I was 24 years old fighting the communist hordes for your right to post inane crap on game forums....two kids in diapers...feeling immortal...grrrrrrrr I guess plain cussedness is the Fountain of Youth in the end. You'll get my game when you pry it out of my arthritic, wrinkled up, liver-spotted hand! I'll be 57 in a few months.

As a mere youngster at 51 I sorted it out by having most of my in game assets in some corps that my children have access to.
But they will not get my accounts/characters.
They will ride with me into the sunset (or lagging slightly behind due to billings mechanisms ;))

What should happen to characters if their player dies or is otherwise permanently incapacitated is interesting. Should the character be permanently inactive or should the character be passable to heirs? Heirs would probably be people the player knows from in-game, unless their friends or family also play Eve Online, but even so maybe CCP should look at facilitating this process, in case there is someone who would want to pass their character to their friends, spouse, children, or whatever when they die. |

But you can transfer characters.
As an example of what might be possible if CCP provides the means to do so:
- You die.
- In your will, you point out that you have characters in EVE Online
- Your executor gains the privilege of handling dispersal of your in-game assets (i.e.: CCP allows an exception for account sharing to be allowed where a power of attorney or an executor of a will is concerned)
- Executor sells the character through Character Bazaar
- Executor (following instructions in the will) disburses the raised ISK to in-game charity support of your choice, such as Vaerah's PLEX-for-good charity or Sindel Pelion's Angel Project
- Executor then cancels the account

Close. In my will I have stated to my executor who the person I want to take over my characters is, and for them to make a new fresh account, and after (or before, I forget) all the toons are transferred to it, and 1 year to be paid into it, so they can use them while I'm dead in a perfectly legal CCP way.
I want my toons to kill stuff after I'm dead dammit. I suddenly woke up thinking I had a nightmare, then remembered I can't even fly Amarr Battleships. I add bits to this when I'm bored https://www.dropbox.com/s/foijsawsqolarom/EVE_Online.html |

I'm sure that CCP will site some rule about "sharing client info" if you leave your toon to your grandkids, because why pass up an a perfectly opportunity to make someone start over from scratch and have to pay up all that money all over again just to add a little bit of player satisfaction to the game?

It took me all of reading the first 7-8 posts in this thread to wonder what life must be like to moderate these forums.... I'm thinking there's a high suicide rate there.

Because when a player dies, do we not all die a little inside?

There should be one exception to the restriction against account sharing. And that should be in cases regarding the RL death or "permanent loss of ability" (for example: all that self enjoyment actually causing blindness like they warned us when we were teenagers) .
But how to enforce it? I don't think the laws regarding power of attorney and a video game account would be in agreement. Power of Attorney as it exists in most countries and the EULA of a game don't appear to mesh. Would CCP have the power or the "rights" to demand that the executor of the will or handler of the estate prove that the original account owner is deceased by furnishing a copy of the death certificate? There's a lot of laws regarding creditors and "taxing authorities" doing that in financial matters and obligations, but a video game publisher? I just don't know.
Whatever happens, everything would have to be based in the EULA. Bring back DEEEEP Space! |

This is exactly what I need. Where can I sign? Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction... |
