So I have been keeping an unused account for a very long time now, but I realized some time ago that I am not going to play actively any more, so I finally want to cancel it.
I am pretty sure though, that once I do that, I am not going to resubscribe again. So I've been thinking for a while now about how to leave properly, without having all the assets go to waste. There are about 2bil on the EVE Bank account, and this character has a bit over 30m skill points.
I am not in a corporation right now who I could donate the stuff to. Donating everything to an entity like EVE University is a possibility, but also a bit boring. If I give it away, I'd rather give it to someone or something to whom it really makes a difference. One thought I had was to sell the character and put everything on EVE Bank, just to see it grow in case I would ever want to try the game again. But since this is such a low possibility, this is also not very tempting.
So I guess what I am asking is, "who wants to have my stuff?" Any suggestions?

Well if you give it to me, it goes to other people.
Atleast those who know, know that i've pretty much got 2 cents to my name while my "giving isk to peeps" counter has reached silly numbers.
I'm no chribba though, which should be your chosen "player entity".
He's always giving stuff away and hosting eve-files is no small feat either.
Though his need for more isk could be disputed 
Best option is to store it away ust in case you do decide to return, you never know, no matter how it may seem now, how you'll feel in a year.
In any case, don't destroy your characters if anything else.
Good luck out there, fly safe and avoid the griefers, we'll keep a light on the porch

Keep it. I have taken long breaks and come back to eve 3-4 times. I'm having more fun playing now than ever. Something may come out in an expansion in the future that makes you want to play again.
You will quite possibly regret giving it away after a while.

You mean for real money? I'm pretty sure that's not allowed, so I'm not going to bother. :)
I also don't feel so good about having someone else represent this character, but if I ever try the game out again in the future, I would probably prefer to start from the beginning anyway (and just play casually).
I think what I might be doing is to give the character to E-Uni to do with as they please (most likely sell and use the ISK I would think) and give the 2 Bil to whoever writes the most interesting / convincing reply in this thread.

I was thinking like that a couple of years ago about the time I stopped playing. :) As things are going, it is not likely that I would even want to get addicted to an online game again. And if the game has something truly great to offer in the future, then it should be just as interesting to play with a fresh character.

I would suggest keeping the character, just get rid of every penny you have and let the account die or even biomass the character. even do a scavenger hunt maybe ? with all your stuff. Goto a starter system and drop a 100m in every new players wallet.

Buy a CNR and fit it with smartbombs. Spend the rest of the isk on some juicy faction mods.
Park the CNR at a suitable range from Jita 4-4, announce in local that you are giving away free stuff. Drop one module at a time in a can for the vultures to pick up. When enough people are humping your ship set off the smartbombs. Thus leaving EVE in style.

That is actually a really good idea. Might be a fun thing to do when I have some spare time. I'd rather not biomass the character, before that I would give it to E-Uni (if they want it) and ask to find her a good home, using the proceeds as a donation.

Isn't it? I thought it was. Nevermind then. I just thought it would be nice to do something for a loved one with the time invested in EVE. I'd seriously consider violating the EULA (and especially if I was leaving the game) to do that, if it made someone I cared about happy for a day or two with a new toy or some quality time. The trouble is now its been advertised on the forums it would probably get banned or something? So its looking like thats out. :(
I think, ruling out that possibility, I would keep the account in stasis until such a time as I renewed my interest or I met someone who could benefit from it personally. Giving it to someone seems unlikely to enrich anyone's life in game or build or encourage new relationships and mutual good times. It'll probably, call me cynical of course, wind its way into someone's personal assets. I'm a bit duvious about charity and especially in mmos.
What could you do with the isk? That's a tough call. If you enjoy it, you could give it away, or keep it in the bank and use it as a trust fund to sponsor new players you run in to and who's values/outlook/attitude you identify with. Or start a corporation and put it into a wallet for something similar. Give the CEO ship to someone you trust implicitly (not many I'm sure) to do that for you. Invest it into assets maybe? Use the money you make from it to buy PLEX and give them away to people .. or just buy some for your friends and anyone who ever helped you or showed you kindness in the game or gave you good avice etc. Look them up and give them a present.
Hehe come to think of its always going to be tough. There's not a lot of options is there? I like the idea of an in-game foundation/corp designed to find worthy people and enhance their experience by providing support etc. but I don't like the idea of just giving it all to someone like EVE Uni as I really doubt it will ever find its way into the pockets of new players or worthy folk. But that's just my hangup. :P
Personally speaking as a relatively new player, giving me lots of isk wouldnt enhance my enjoyment of the game. If anything it would detract from it, reducing the challenge and the roi on time put in. Likewise giving established players more isk might be just as counter productive. Especially since many would immediately run out and spend it on battle ships with which to grief others etc.
No I'm sticking with my original suggestion, start a new corp, inject the cash into it, get someone you trust to use it as a platform to introduce and support new players. That's what I'd do. I'd probably also look to setup a second account to avoid the tedium of sitting around while science and industry skills train ..
Sorry, not very original or insightful tbh. Meh.

Edited by: Some Advisor on 07/08/2009 12:05:51 you could sell the character hmm.. but you prolly come back sooner or later... Eve is evil
if you have assets in form of blueprints or other "non consumables" and LEND (yep thats right) it to me, you have my word that i give it back to you if you decide to come back later, assuming iam not banned or so :)
for money and other consumables, i should be able to give parts of it back if you decide to come back.
and i never got stuff so far :(
also. if youre in npc corp and have over 2b isk, oyou can send a corp mail (costs 2b) and have some fun with confuzed ppl :P

Whilst this is rather tempting, I neither feel like breaking the EULA (as I have no quarrels with CCP), nor some random auction winner to represent this character. It's amazing how much people pay for a character though. I always thought that the slow progression is half the fun.

The Story of Zrrgablart!
Long tim ago, near the rim of the starsystem Airkio, there was a single asteroid orbiting a single secure cargo container left by a single miner, whom had forgotten to bookmark the spot. On that asteroid lived a primal oozling named Zrrrgablart. Zrrgablart wasn't much of a lifeform by science standards, but even at his relatively early age, Zrrgablart knew things. He knew that he was the only oozling on his world, possibly the whole existence. He also knew that his god, which he named "Oh Great Bleeping One", was out there, watching over him vigilantly.
Zrrgablarts life was most the time pretty uneventful, but in no way boring or sad. He made up names for all the things he saw fly by his world, great ships of metal that he knew belonged to the Ancient Ones, whom had left his world a long time ago. There were the Golden Ones, majestic beings that colored the sky with all the colors of the oozblorg. He would have called it a rainbow, but with the lack of water, rainbows were a rare sight on lone asteroids.
There were the Gray Ones, who he believed were the original bringers of his god "The Great Bleeping One". They fired long things into space, that made his primal ooze of a heart leap every time they exploded in thousands of colors. There also were the Green Ones, which were accompanied by lesser beings. Zrrgablart didn't have any real opinion on them, as they mostly seemed to sit around while the lesser beings did things. Philosophical he thought, without knowing what it meant.
On occasion, the Red Ones came too. Zrrgablart didn't like the Red Ones, not one bit. They brought with them destruction to his world. He hadn't done anything to deserve it, but they shot fire at him anyway. Luckily for him, he had avoided any major damage, but he still kept an eye out for the brown speckles of rust for they brought with them the Red Ones.
No, Zrrgablart wasn't bored, or sad, but he was lonely. For eons he had sat there, watching the Universe turn, wishing he had someone to admire these things with. On a late friday, just after the third cycle of The Great Bleeping One, his wish was granted.
Zrrgablart spotted a tiny speckle in the distance, glimmering in the sky and barely visible. It got closer and closer until with a MIGHTY thud it landed on the asteroid. He sludged and grawled and oozed his way closer, not afraid, but cautious. There it was, if he had eyes he would have opened them wide and if he had a jaw, it would have dropped. A single shiny object, sticking out of the asteroids crust. It was an ISK. Single ISK that had fallen off a freighter during cargo loading. It had traveled lightyear after lightyear to get there, and it was on that day that Zrrgablart rejoiced. He had finally found a friend! No longer was he alone and he was content, by all his oozling standards.
Even today, if you find that lone asteroid, orbiting a single secure container, on the rim of Airkio and you squint your eyes just so, you can see a single ISK sticking out of the crust and a tiny oozling sitting besides it, looking up at you, the ancient one with admiration unmeasured by all the ISK in the Universe.
The end!

Keep it, imo... you will very likely want to come back one day. Having your things waiting will make that a lot more enjoyable than having to rebuild from scratch.
Keep your things... unless you have a RL friend who plays.... then give it to them.

It was this event that taught me just how much money the ISK buyers have for throwing at Eve. They don't give a stuff. Ban an account, they buy another, another char and more ISK. Besides breaking the EULA isn't an act of terrorism, it's just a parting of the ways.
Having seen what the buyer of that main went and did with it, it was a bit galling, and seeing the once mighty Garmon character sold into "The Worst Merc Outfit In Eve" then yes I can see your issue with handing over your hard work to stupidest person with the most money.
As for slow progression, you'll be pleased to know that one of those two people re-started eve and is thoroughly enjoying his slow progression through the early stages of the game all over again! He's training the opposite of what he did before and having a wonderful time doing it!

Before you quit EVE you must ask yourself some questions.
Am I quitting because of a woman? If so proceed to Step 3 Am I quitting because of a real life responsibility? If so proceed to Step 3 Am I quitting because of lack of money? If so proceed to Step 2 Am I quitting because I am bored of EVE? If so proceed to Step 1 Am I quitting because I got pwned in EVE? If so proceed to Step 1
Step 1: Join a club, like 4-H. Realize how much RL activities suck. Step 2: Steal some money. If you don't go to jail, you will have lots of money for EVE subscriptions and food. Step 3: Smack whatever is getting in your way of playing EVE in the face. Step 4: Continue playing EVE. Step 5: ??? Step 6: SUCCESS!!!

tbh, I think you will come back.
Since you are asking though, I could use your stuff to help a friend who cant afford to play, and wants to play, get back in the game.
AS for the suggestions to violate the EULA.. I suspect that CCP would just ban the Character, so in effect you would just be screwing over someone else if you did that. Absolutely everything is subjective. |

Zrrgablarts life was most the time pretty uneventful, but in no way boring or sad. He made up names for all the things he saw fly by his world, great ships of metal that he knew belonged to the Ancient Ones, whom had left his world a long time ago. There were the Golden Ones, majestic beings that colored the sky with all the colors of the oozblorg. He would have called it a rainbow, but with the lack of water, rainbows were a rare sight on lone asteroids.
There were the Gray Ones, who he believed were the original bringers of his god "The Great Bleeping One". They fired long things into space, that made his primal ooze of a heart leap every time they exploded in thousands of colors. There also were the Green Ones, which were accompanied by lesser beings. Zrrgablart didn't have any real opinion on them, as they mostly seemed to sit around while the lesser beings did things. Philosophical he thought, without knowing what it meant.
On occasion, the Red Ones came too. Zrrgablart didn't like the Red Ones, not one bit. They brought with them destruction to his world. He hadn't done anything to deserve it, but they shot fire at him anyway. Luckily for him, he had avoided any major damage, but he still kept an eye out for the brown speckles of rust for they brought with them the Red Ones.
No, Zrrgablart wasn't bored, or sad, but he was lonely. For eons he had sat there, watching the Universe turn, wishing he had someone to admire these things with. On a late friday, just after the third cycle of The Great Bleeping One, his wish was granted.
Zrrgablart spotted a tiny speckle in the distance, glimmering in the sky and barely visible. It got closer and closer until with a MIGHTY thud it landed on the asteroid. He sludged and grawled and oozed his way closer, not afraid, but cautious. There it was, if he had eyes he would have opened them wide and if he had a jaw, it would have dropped. A single shiny object, sticking out of the asteroids crust. It was an ISK. Single ISK that had fallen off a freighter during cargo loading. It had traveled lightyear after lightyear to get there, and it was on that day that Zrrgablart rejoiced. He had finally found a friend! No longer was he alone and he was content, by all his oozling standards.
Even today, if you find that lone asteroid, orbiting a single secure container, on the rim of Airkio and you squint your eyes just so, you can see a single ISK sticking out of the crust and a tiny oozling sitting besides it, looking up at you, the ancient one with admiration unmeasured by all the ISK in the Universe.
The end!
There's at least 200 mil's worth of story here. Send Jonesy some ISK!

I think the urge to destroy your account completely in order to 'leave properly', only goes to show that deep down you know you will want to come back at some point, and you are trying to make this impossible. Like when you give up smoking and throw all the ashtrays out, or get rid of every wine glass in the house to show you mean business about kicking the booze. My opinion, don't make it impossible, but give yourself a challenge.
So keep the char, dont go for the biomass, but get rid of that 2B isk, so that if and when you do come back, you have to make an effort to get yourself solvent again. Right now you can probably do whatever you want without challenge, and that can get boring.
So how to do it. Eve University is a good thought, and could put a portion of that isk to good use, but if thats too boring, then go buy a few big expensive ships, fit them with goodies, and go head for trouble . Go out in a blaze of glory, drop some nice loots, and make some peoples day. You will get a few laughs im sure, and its more active than a few mindless clicks to donate isk about.
Whatever, you will be back

For the record, I'm not going to support unproductive PVP. ;)
I know that every time someone is leaving, lots of people are saying that they will be back. Perhaps I will want to play again in a few years, I wouldn't know. But after such a long time, I would actually prefer to start completely fresh in a game. And if that's not enough fun, then it is a good thing not to have an incentive to do so in the first place. There are so many other things to do and discover, I certainly won't be bored.

Not at all, it's more akin to giving old toys to a kindergarten instead of throwing them away. :) I just don't want to let it go to waste, if others would still have a use for these things. For a fairly long time now I have been paying the subscription just in case I would want to play again, but it has become increasingly clear that I just won't (for many reasons).

I got a project im currently trying to get isk for. Its a wormhole project where we are going to set a pos up in a WH. (me and corps mates). However it would all cost 300mill isk and atm we only got 100mill in funds. We could always use a little boost on 10mill or more if you would like to donate us :). The project is for ratting/mining arkonor.

Though his need for more isk could be disputed 
Best option is to store it away ust in case you do decide to return, you never know, no matter how it may seem now, how you'll feel in a year.
In any case, don't destroy your characters if anything else.

I like the idea of giving it away to noobs personally - just not 100 mil apiece, that seems a bit much and will most likely result in nothing more than hilarious killmails. 10-20 mil apiece, however, and now we're talking. That's just enough to get them started out with they're first few frigs and/or cruisers, and decent fittings to boot.
And if you still have some left over after your wave of beginner charity, I can always use some more stuffs.

The following are my plans for when the time for recycling arrives. In true EvE fashion..........it's better to burn out than fade away!
1. Fit as many ships as you can for PVP
2. Load cargoholds of said ships with everything else you own
3. Head for the nearest, populated, lowsec system and make everyone FIGHT for your stuff!
4. Get blown up, ask to be podded so you can quickly rinse and repeat until nothing left
Not only does this offer the randomness for getting items dropped in the loot, but also can severely increase the e-peen and killboard ratios (ISK) for people if they don't get the actual item =]

put names in a hat, hold a lottery (fotm), hang out in noobie systems and give noobies a few 100 mil a pop, or buy silly expensive ships like maruders and t3 ships fit them with civilian modules and t2 rigs and go roaming around in low sec or 0.0 and get blown up for some comedy kill mails.
your isk do what the hell you want with it, or do nothing with it, enjoy your vacation.

I would say sell the character for ISK, then distribute the ISK to newbies / random people / good replies in this thread, etc.
That way someone who wants / can use the character will use it, and a lot of people will otherwise get a present that may help them get started or get ahead or whatnot.

You know, you might find this hard to believe, but people regularly give me large amounts of isk. Mainly just well wishers and people from the forums etc. No other reason than they want to make my day.
But they dont, I return it all. Why? Cos newbies dont need tens of millions of isk. It ruins the game. It makes it easy. The ROI in EVE is derived from multiferous aspects of the game, all of which derive their worth from time spent using your brain or your time to generate the base-stock - game currency. If its just handed to you, where is the value? Where is the value of the ship that you lose? Or the ship you take? Where is the satisfaction when you buy that BS or anchor that POS?
Of course people enjoy different things and many will find isk and the need to create or aquire it demeaning, boring, tedious etc. But if its just handed to you, given away on a whim in large amounts, I promise just as many who will rejoice, will prematurely lose interest in the game.
I strongly urge restraint when it comes to giving away isk to newbies. Besides, half the joy would be in finding someone who can benefit from a bit of help from time to time and them never knowing just how much you have stashed away. Use the isk to build relationships, bind people into a team, build a corp up from nothing, use it to pay mercs or buy skill books or plexes for people who need them. But just doling it out in the forum is, like all socialist good intentions, the road to hell.

You said before that the person that produces the most convicing story will get some isk. I like that for two reasons a.) ISK and b.) competition, yeah I like winning.
The next thing I'd like to say is that im not the greatest writer and i doubt that will ever improve. I cant writing flowing essays that keep people engrossed yet I will try my upmost to please.
Anyway, to my story. I have just finsihed school at the ripe old age of 18. I pay for all but food and basics myself and work at the moment 15 hours a week and minimal wage. This has forced me to only pay for one char a month and that is even looking a grim prospect. I currently have 2 account however with one being paid by my last GTC.
However this is running out and i dont have the isk to buy a new one. The obivious answer would be to earn isk using my main. However to me that would wreck the game for the following reasons. I play this game to have fun and enjoy some PL rage and tears (although i hate having rage put in the direction of myself). For me having fun means going out PvPing. Unlike many others i cant stand PvEing or mining. It wrecks what i think makes this game so fun. Paying to do something so repetitive sounds like paying you work to work.
I would like to point out that this is my own opinion and i do not have anything agaisnt miners and such. People think differently, it is what make life so interesting.
However as many know PvP is an expensive habit and does not provide any constant source of income. This had lead me to the postion im in. To roam with Pl is like going out with your rich friends. Because they are rich they want to go somewhere 'nice', you go becuse you want to enjoy being with your friends and having a laugh. Yet when the bill comes you get this sinking feeling that only offers you a fould taste.
I am not saying that i need this isk nor am i saying that i need it anymore than anyone else. All im saying is that with that isk then i can enjoy this game for that much longer and maybe give me the time for my alt to pay for itself and my pvp addiction.
Thankyou for your time

I am part of a small corp that is trying to raise a few billion in order to build funds for industrial purposes. We are currently aiming for a couple frieghters, orcas, and eventually a Rorqual once our mining director gets his skills up.
Anyway, if you decide to donate some of your remaining ISK to me/my corp we would be very grateful and we would not let any of it go to waste (senseless PvP, suicide ganks, etc.).
As for the character, you could donate it to EVE Uni, sell it and then distribute the profit, etc. Of course it would also be beneficial to our corp if you donated the character as well, but of course it is all up to you.
Good luck on deciding who to leave your spoils to, and I hope you consider me and my corporation

Fact is I will try to make a nice story for you so if I win them I'll donate it to them if you like

My advice to you, no matter what you think now, don't delete the character, hold onto it. In eve, your character is your identity, even if I quit eve, I'd never sell or give away my character, its who I am. It'd be like giving away part of myself. Give away your assets, it doesn't matte to who,I'd like it, but I doubt you'll send it to me. Honestly, I'd make a game of it, scatter giant secure cans full of stuff throughout the belts of eve, make riddles for the passwords, leave presents in starter systems, give away everything. But then, before you leave, make sure you have a way to stay in touch with all the friends you've made, their worth more then all the isk in the world. Make sure that if you come back, that you'll have someone to support you, otherwise you'll just be lonely and quit again. But keep the character, put it on ice, but keep it. You might want it someday. Like Sheriff said, We'll leave the light on for you. Fly safe. __________________________________________________ I was Amarr before they were the FOTM and I'll be Amarr after it! I'm also training Minmatar Capitals! And I eat Lions! |

reformatted
Basically, this. You wouldn't want to completely erase your identity, would you?
The treasure hunt: make it complex and make it fun. Enrich the game for other people. You do so much better by having them solve riddles and look all over the place for their rewards than by simply giving them stuff. Makes them enjoy the stuff all the more when they finally get it.
As for your character. Keep it - you may not come back in the near future, but since EVE is a game made to last, who knows, in 30 years maybe? Cancel your subscription, sure, but don't give away/delete your character. It's your EVE identity.
And if this post should have qualified for getting stuff - I don't want it. Spend it in the abovementioned way and leave a mark on the EVE world by leaving a piece of good memory with some of the players. --- Sig will be updated shortly |

If you would give the iskies to me i would use them for a very good cause.
I would firstly help a few friends to get there first BS and then work on getting them ready to kill Goons.
So in short if i would get the isk i would make it my job to kill as many goons as possible.

Originally by: Yuki Santara So I have been keeping an unused account for a very long time now, but I realized some time ago that I am not going to play actively any more, so I finally want to cancel it.
I am pretty sure though, that once I do that, I am not going to resubscribe again. So I've been thinking for a while now about how to leave properly, without having all the assets go to waste. There are about 2bil on the EVE Bank account, and this character has a bit over 30m skill points.
I am not in a corporation right now who I could donate the stuff to. Donating everything to an entity like EVE University is a possibility, but also a bit boring. If I give it away, I'd rather give it to someone or something to whom it really makes a difference. One thought I had was to sell the character and put everything on EVE Bank, just to see it grow in case I would ever want to try the game again. But since this is such a low possibility, this is also not very tempting.
So I guess what I am asking is, "who wants to have my stuff?" Any suggestions?
I need new main character, give it to me and I make something awesome out from it!

If your giving it away, Make it a lottery that costs no isk to enter or something.
If there might be the slightest chance of you coming back to eve, do not give your character away, just let the account go inactive and come back to it at a later date. It will be a pain in the ass starting all those learning skills again and working your way from there.
My full suggestion: Go ahead, take a break, but buy a lot of tritanium before you do. My guess is with all the new stuff that comes out it will only raise in value over time.
You will probably want to play like a year from now when some new content patch comes out with some new nifty thing to explore, much like happened with me with wormholes, and now im burnt out again already as well.

When I was a noob, a guy came up to me and gave me 20 mil to help me get started. He had identified me as a noob from the noob channel, not just a young alt.
That 20 mil made a huge difference to me at that stage of my play. I've distributed a bit of isk over time, when I was fairly certain that it wasn't an alt char in memory of that guy who helped me and who's name I don't even remember.
If I were you, I would do something similar. Keep the account... if you've got 30 mil of SP, then earning isk is probably not a major problem for you... Keep the char in case you ever do come back, but give the isk away in small chunks to those who you think are probably legit newcomers and who could use a hand.
I'm quite sure that many newcomers would find the isk to buy the t2 learning skills a huge help, or maybe even smaller chunks, like your first fitted t1 cruiser.

If you do the thing with smartbombs
you need to give away ships then say you're giving away your CNR or normal raven or something. Then fill the highs with bombs and everybody will be waiting in their pods to try and be the first one in it
then you squish them all!

Edited by: Lifelongnoob on 12/08/2009 13:08:05 have a noob ship battle royale last man standing.
Rules are as follows:- 1. Must be in a noob ship. 2. Noobship can be fitted only with t1 modules to ensure everyone has a reasonable chance. 2. Have a GM monitor the battle to ensure no cheating. 3. Battle MUST take place in a low sec system. (yeah even ye care bears should get into low sec)
1st prize could be the character + 1bil isk worth of assets 2nd prize could be 500 mil worth of assets 3rd prize could be 250 mil worth of assets 4th prize could be 125 mil worth of assets 5th prize could be 75 mil worth of assets 6th prize will be the remaining 25 mil worth of assets.

Thanks for the many good ideas. I particularly like the treasure hunt, or setting up interesting contracts. I hope I will get some time for it soon.
Also I will probably keep the character, I agree that it's not very nice to give the "identity" away, and I never really liked the meta-game of trading characters. It would be nice to use up that value before I cancel, but in the end it doesn't really matter.

I say give it to EVE University. i don't know why you consider that boring, or how you come to the conclusion it will not go to someone who needs it.
Give it to EU and if you think you have to, specify that there be some sort of contest that can only be done by characters that are X amount of days/months old and the winner gets the spoils.
EU has stuff like that all the time internally. It'd be nice if they had an outsider donate to help a noob.
