This change is complete crap.
Why should I pay for a months time that my character will not be able to do anything?

I say that because I previously sold my 5 yr old character to make a "perfect" character capable of learning skills quicker.
Any competent player knows that the learning skills come first. Yes, I could go do level 1 missions with my uber 900k skillpoints. That's about as productive and worth-while as pickin my nose for an hour. If you like to do that, then good for you.
I'm not re-activating my account so I can pay for my character to sit while he trains the essential learning skills. I'm not re-activating my account so I can train other skills and actually do something in-game, while defeating my purpose of starting a new character.
Edit: To CCP, You should have fixed this shit 5 years ago if you didn't want it to happen. Surely it would have been something that "experienced" game developers knew would happen.

Subscription canceled (Ironic that it was supposed to renew on 10/17).

Lallante, I am a web applications developer by profession and deal with database issues ALL of the time.
It is easy to take the time that the skill started training and calculate how much time is left (so long as you have the formulas that affect skill training times... which CCP does.)
The only thing the database needs is a start time and character attribute information. After that, its all calculations.
In no circumstance should the "update character information" query be called in absolute intervals when dealing with the load generated by Eve's populace. With the immense load the database receives, character information would be calculated when you change skills, a skill finishes, and/or fired by some other trigger.

I'd like to see the statistics on the database.
Assuming CCP is competent enough to not create a service that constantly queries the database to make appropriate updates, the only thing that inactive accounts would use on the database is space.
Why have a service running that constantly checks for skill completions when the routine could be performed with a trigger such as loading the My Character page or Character information in-game?
I don't see how ghost training is affecting the database.
Stats please! |

As I already suspected and halfway stated in a previous post...
So what kind of problems is Ghost Training causing on the database? I don't see any....
I believe they are just doing this in an attempt to gain money, and throwing the players an excuse that they hope the playerbase will buy.

Sorry, couldn't just lurk anymore with such rampant stupidity continuing to spawn. Originally by: Lag Why have a service running that constantly checks for skill completions when the routine could be performed with a trigger such as loading the My Character page or Character information in-game?
Did you ever notice that while you are in game you get informed when a skill changes? The purpose of that should be obvious. This also makes it painfully obvious that there is some form of heartbeat check for skill completions. So please spare us your novice attempts at debugging things that apparently exceed your powers of observation.
Did you ever attempt to think that when you login, a variable is set with your skill's remaining time?...and that the loop checks that variable instead of CONSTANTLY querying the database? Oh.. and when you switch skills or end a skill the variable is reset?...
Don't come to me with half-baked attempts at flaming me.

Originally by: Bistot Kid LOL. All this posturing and flexing and no-one will really leave. Well, not with this as the sole reason.
Why? Because those who care about this change, care too much about Eve.
I care about this change, and I will leave Eve (already cancelled with 3 days left) permanently if they go through with it, as will many others.
Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning is a really fun game...

Why should you get a free ride, if you're too busy to play? Ridiculous argument; you want CCP to let you play the game for free because you don't have enough time to play the game ....
The issue is not people playing the game for free. (You can't). It's having an incentive to come back to Eve after taking a break for whatever reason. |

Originally by: 10of10 You know you people are not going to leave.... Your addicted like drug addicts and they know it... No way can you click that unsubscribe button....no way. You have invested too much real money to quit....spent too many years playing to quit... like right now you need to get out of this thread and log in to get your FiX.....
Or they have already quit/unsubscribed.. And the only reason they are checking this damn thread is because they hope CCP will not implement this ******ed change so they can come back...
Hmmm sounds an awful lot like what I'm doing.
Genius -.- |

Warhammer online is awesome. I dont get any lag and play on Medium-High population servers. Never bothered looking for forums for it, but I have ran across a fairly large forums on a fansite (Warhammer Alliance)

what is the point of a thread identical to this one.. AND the last, locked one.?
Because it is a thread where you can actually state whether you support the op or not. CCP might actually get an idea how many people don't want the change. I think the thumbs up for leaving ghost training as is might be something a bunch of 1st graders can understand. |

then its just the opposite of this thread. stating that you dont support the op. (or the very small minority that do) no? EDIT: waitno. from your description its identical to this thread... like i said.
God you are a moron. Do you see the fekin checkbox when you reply to that post that says "Check here if you want to give your support to the idea/discussion going on". Notice the damn thumbs up under people's names?
