I'll try and post this for the third time.
I have this issue not only in my corp but with old friends ive meet along the way and these people are in my address book.
Should I boot them or remove them from my address book or maybe they log in when im not on i've no idea.
I know in the corp you can tell "over a month" since they logged on. Err for BS lvl5 I probably wont log on for 35 days either like alot of my corpies.

Also CCP you should look at wiping all inactive accounts that are over 3 years old. Do you honestly think these people will all of the sudden log in and pay-play again? its just more database clutter you can get rid of.

I am aware of this maybe this is a way to address the concerns of other players have i.e How anyone can put you into their address book to see it there on.
So in effect to be on someones address book requires you to accept a buddy list request.

I agree with you Fille, I'd consider you an on-line friend and the only reason we're no rl friends is distance (5000km). Fille is not the only person i've made friends with in this game and TBH if they came to Australia I'd be more than willing to let them stay in one of my houses (Perth, Sydney, Brisbane). Yes I am very trusting but i only give people enough rope to hang themselves, not many people ever abuse my trust due to this.
And I even have several players email addresses because they told me they were leaving EVE. I presume that alot of players go thru the same thing everytime your subscription is due. I debate in my mind whether to carry on for another 6months on the account thats due. If I just dissapeared one day no one can tell what the hells going on.

So maybe the solution is moving them to an in-active account statis and should the player wish to start again a quick email to ccp with account & log-in details to re-active this account.
This is no real different than existing system except that non active accounts will be known if you search for them.
And dont say but ive lost that information (login details) cause if you have you couldnt login anyway on any proposed system.

Ariane you say it dont matter well obviously you have never run a corp/alliance in 0.0. Well i'd like to tell yo it does matter whether your a renter or non renter you still have to contribute to the e-peen collective fund and paying for inactive accounts is not something I like to or do pay for. But however it's has happened to me several times after a the timer goes to over month ive kicked people only to find later that as it happens to us all that a rl event has occured and they wernt even able to log in for a few months even though there accounts were still active.

Actually William any SQL Data base administrator worth anything could do this is less than half a day. I wonÆt go into how I know and what I know as itÆs obvious you donÆt have a clue.
To the others re-cancelling or removing accounts I concede and I accept is a bad idea.
But I did like the flagging Idea.
You may ask why anyone would want this system?.
1: I keep all the names of those I've been at war with and the Corp they were in that war Dec'd our Corp/Alliance. I do know I'm not the only one who does this. You might ask why? ôKnowledge is powerö.
Eg: Joe blogs Corp war Dec's you and it lasts for however long thatÆs irrelevant. They go away then one day you get another war Dec from a different Corp but you receive Intel that Jimmy from Joe Blogs Corp is in this new Corp and you start the Intelligence process again. But this time you have a little advantage because you already have the Intel JimmyÆs joined the Corp so you check who from the previous Corp who has joined this new Corp. When you check the old Corp only 2-3 members remain and you rightfully or wrongly presume that most if not all have joined this new war decÆn Corp. You check your list and build the data base accordingly. The issue you have now is that this new Pirate/Merc Corp has a bigger membership of say 130 and the last war decÆn Corp had 75 but itÆs been 6 months since the first war Dec and most of that Corp joined them 4 months ago. The issue now is you have no idea whoÆs active whether youÆll be fighting a horde of 130 or what as half the 75 are now inactive.
Now you may say big deal itÆs no issue but when youÆre facing multiple war decÆs and the numbers are way over 200 your present Intel system of using your buddy list is useless. This is the issue if half of JimmyÆs Corp is inactive you donÆt know I doubt they even know. So it fills up your bud list with useless inaccurate Intel.
2: You got podded and you want revenge but you personally canÆt do anything about it because your new or cant PVP or whatever. So you go to a Merc Corp/Alliance and letÆs say you pay the 100mil up front and maybe 100mil for the Corpse. You inform them the isk will take you a few weeks to get as your trying to replace your lost ship too. They ask you can you use a Locator agent you say sure and that'll cost you possibly another 10mil. Now itÆs been weeks maybe months since this incident happened but youÆre still sore about it and want revenge so you do all this. The MercÆs do their job and have their people camping the system waiting for this dude to log on and undock. However this guys subscription has expired and youÆve just wasted 210mil.
With a flagging system at least you can find out if heÆs active and if so you could tie it in with locator agents so itÆs a service with a cost as this will reduce people from using and abusing it. |
