Stopple	Posted - 2004.09.15 16:31:00 - [1] So I start eve, create a character, play him for a few minutes and log out. I log back in, create a new character, play him for about an hour, and realize I'm missing some pretty crucial skills that I want to start with so I can get a better ship and learn faster. I go to the character creation process for the third time, and I'm expiramenting with the different races and backgrounds they can have. I accidentally go a little too far and complete the process. Whoops ok, I'll just delete him and start over. .... I HAVE TO WAIT TEN HOURS TO DELETE A PLAYER?? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????? Absolutely ridiculous. If a player has NEVER LOGGED INTO THE GAME delete should be INSTANT. I can't believe I have to wait basically until tomorrow to play this game.

Elucidate	Posted - 2004.09.15 16:38:00 - [3] Be a little more careful next time then. :) They need to steal whatever system AO uses.. delete a character and it's gone right then. ------------ Elucidate - Extraordinarily Lazy Miner

Kitten Hearder	Posted - 2004.09.15 17:13:00 - [5] Not uncommon. I've seen it in a couple other games. In Eve's case it's to keep people from farming noobie isk. If you could immediately delete a character you could create one, transfer money, delete, repeat. --------- Kitten Hearder Evolution made my sig Less Entertaining than your's.

Stopple	Posted - 2004.09.15 19:05:00 - [7] I'm aware of the purpose of a delay is. If a player has NEVER LOGGED INTO THE GAME delete should be INSTANT. I guess you missed that in my first post. spam removed - Sherkaner

Kitten Hearder	Posted - 2004.09.15 19:22:00 - [9] I'd rather they work on the new expansion than the code you are requesting. --------- Kitten Hearder Evolution made my sig Less Entertaining than your's.

Urizak Lorzar	Posted - 2004.09.16 11:28:00 - [17] talking of which, you could still do that with the 7 day trial. Newb farm the isk, by making constant 7 day trials. Not that I've exploited that option, but since CCP havn't put a cap on the amount of invitations a member can give, it would be possible, would it not?

LOL, you'd need to double the amount of accounts CCP has now, to make even a sort of nice amount of money that way :) No doubt people will surely be crazy enough to do it though. =S= RG_Punisher "Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are."-Kurt Cobain.

Mynobe Soletae	Posted - 2004.09.17 03:56:00 - [21] It was an instant delete a while back, then they changed it. Obviously they felt they had a good reason to change it, possibly to reduce the number of alt corp thefts and exploits. So stop using caps, please. If you get this worked up about a minor inconvenience, you should seriously reconsider playing the game. You may have a heart attack when you first get killed, or lose your ship to a bug, or lose millions to an escrow scam. It's better to stop playing now if you usually react like this. Adding code to remove the delay for people who have never logged in before is too much work for minor gain. In any case, suggestions for changes to game can be posted in one of the dedicated suggestion threads.

Moadyb	Posted - 2004.09.17 06:07:00 - [23] Hmm, well I am a new player too and I must say I found that very annoying too. I don't see how 1000 isk is worthwhile farming in this game and as for exploits; since you can easily create as many buddy accounts as you want, anyone can create 1000 acounts during those 10 hours intead of waiting.
