Hi, I know eve is harsh, and that you can lose pretty much everything if you get killed, but I have to have something clearified: Can my character die? I was greeted by a gm yesterday and he suggested I should have a clone char trained in the same skills as my main char, can I assume that is why? |

Ah, Grasshopper! You are already dead!
This is role playing of course, but in order to get those capsuleer electronics into your body, the clone is grown around the electronics. The process of transferring your consciousness into that first clone usually involves the death of your original body. If you listen to Aura during the opening tutorial, you'll hear her assure you that your old body has been humanely euthanased.
As for the clone thing, that gets complicated. I will be back shortly with the explanation. |

Less wordy answer:
Technically no. You can never die. If your "escape pod" is blown up, you will find yourself back in a station (wherever you based your clone at) with a newly minted rookie ship ready to go.
HOWEVER... if you do not "uprade" your clone every so often you will lose some skillpoints when your escape pod is blown up. Check in with your clone every so often and upgrade the amount of skill points that can be "stored" in it. "Just because I seem like an idiot, doesn't mean I am one." ~Unknown |

In a station look for medical bay. Not all stations have them. When you do find a station with a med bay make sure the clone has more skill points then what you have now. That way when / if you get podded you will not lose skill points. Noir. Academy is Open -á-á-áPVP with purpose. -á-á-áOrganisation, Discipline, Practice. http://noirmercs.com |

Also default clone covers 900,000 skillpoints, so you dont need to worry about updating clone before you go over that. New to EVE? Don't forget to read: The Manual * The Wiki * The Career Options * and everything else |

Your character in EVE can and will die but because of the cloning technology you're effectively immortal in that you will have a spare clone each time you die. You may also have several "spare clones" called jump clones that are essentially for keeping a different set of implants (+5 set for mission grinding and +3's for PvP clone set up) and for hopping to another station instantly once per 24/h. This way you can change implants without destroying them first (see infomorph psychology -skill for jump clones). |

Your character Technically dies if you Biomass it or essentially delete the character which only you can do from the character menu.
There is no way in game that another player can "Erase your player from in game existence."
This goes with out saying. Never hand out your password. The only ways some can delete your character is if they some how get access to your account.
Even if you get struck with the might of the banhammer your character still exists you just cant get access to it. |
