I haven t played since April so I decided to come back and start over.
Someone please explain to me how as basically a player who has forgotten how to play and has three characters am I supposed to wait 10 hours now so that one of my characters is deleted so I can play.
Really please what the hell is the reason for this. I am unable to play the other two toons as I need to redo all trainings from scratch and you are telling me that I am forced to wait 10 hours? Awesome marketing guys. Great system you have there it really motivates me to want to play and I don t feel I am being given the finger whatsoever.
Why the fark didn t I create a freaking new account instead seriously, this would have avoided a lot of anger and blood pressure issues. God damit I am ready to ask for a refund right now |

lolz I like the name
I don t care about losses and I already lost ships about a year ago...my point is that not being able to play is infuriating. Why not have a double confirmation box since I suppose this is done for people who share accounts or to avoid the boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/lawyer from regequit/delete.

Its to stop people a) accidently or rage deleting chars or b) getting hacked and having their chars instantly deleted.
What i dont understand though is why you dont just start a new account if your starting all training from scratch

Well that is the point, when I reactivated the account I had no idea I would not be able to play until 10 hours would pass. If I had known I would have created a new account, but when you come back after 6 months you tend to forget this sort of things.
Point is there MUST be a better system than this. Don t tell me I am the first one to be ****ed off at this ?

3 characters huh?
1. Go to one character 2. Press delete button 3. Go to other character 4. Press "Enter Game" 5. Play game 6. Confirm deletion 10 hours later. 7. Create desired new character 8. ??? 9. PROFIT!!

There is no reason to start over now, UNLESS you have terrible reputation with your characters (or used your remap on charisma and wasted your fast training on crap).

No reason? How about WANTING to start from scratch?
Anyway I made a new trial account instead...thanks for the comments

Dude, you are confused. This is Eve. No skill puts you down a dead end. You can train anything you want.
ONLY possible reason is that you have 1.8M SP on the toon, and none of that in learning skills. Otherwise, you are insane.
Or, your existing toons have such a bad rep or sec status, but even then. Grinding the sec status back is way better than retraining months of SP.
Edit:

Just when you think you have seen it all.
The 10 hr delay prevents a lot of possible issues. The inconvience is well worth it imo.

so because I complain about a feature that is not enabling me to play the game again from scratch...I am whinning? Really? looks to me that this is a legitimate complaint.
I reactivated a dormant account I wanted to start over It wasn t possible
Sounds to me like a valid complaint from a returning player. In essence I payed for a month gametime and was told that it would take 10 hours to be able to play. You may think this is whinning but here this feels like a valid complaint. So enough with the fallacies and ad hominems please. And no, playing on my corporation toon with tons of ships and isk is not what I am after. I wanted to start over and relearn the game then maybe go back to my old toon (not this one).
In the end I am now playing on a tria account and will probably do so for the next 10 hours. Why I had to make another trial account is the problem here. It would have made more sense to let me do this from the main account and not have to create a new trial that is going to be wasted.
Anyway...again thanks for the pokes

14.99 USD/month divided by 30 days/month 0.50 USD/day divided by 24 hours/day 0.02 USD/hour times 10 hours that's twenty cents.
I will mail you a quarter I have sitting 2 feet from me on my desk if you stop friggin whining.
Also, why dont you understand that starting over the the single dumbest thing you can do in this game? There is no penalty for having skills trained and no way to regain those skills on a new character any faster than you did before. It's a pretty dumb move.
If you wanna feel like you started over, just take one of those characters, empty their wallet, trash their assets, and knock yourself out. ---- Logins required for this post: 539098 |

It isn't valid at all to complain about patching. Its been quite well known it was coming plus 10 hours is nothing. Set a long skill and come back later. Get over it.

most of what has been responded to you was mostly non-constructive because you are complaining about a mechanic that has a different purpose other than the one you are complaining about
obviously its not a good idea to put in a 10 hr timer fo the sake of halting the player's request or action, its simply a precaution. And no your double check "Are you sure?" idea doesn't work either
you have any idea how many drunk concording have happened cause someone ignored that message?
Many times people click over those without thinking
The 10 hour timer is in place to ensure that the decision is one they really want to make as many of the other above have stated, is a big one to make considering that you have existing chars to use
Your complaint i figure is on the same base as the 30 second session change timer, but again this has a purpose. It's been said by a dev that the timer is cause EVE is made to still work on dial-up, the timer levels the playing field for those with a slower connection.
and a big FYI, you can redo al the tutorials on an existing character and still get all the rewards, except fro the skill u get for just reading the tutorial, bot those you should have already....

You can play now. You are CHOOSING to delete all three characters simultaneosly for whatever reason. Therefore you are CHOOSING to take the same cooldown period on biomassing that every other player takes. What makes you so damn special that you think you should be immune to a standard game mechanic?
And if you really can't remember how to play to the point that you want to start again why not a) actually start again on a new account, if you're deleting ALL the characters without touching them it's no different, or b) delete two of them and while you're waiting use the time re-familiarise yourself with basics and transfer your assets.

Only an idiot would WANT to start from scratch. There is absolutely no reason to do so unless you either hate your name or have some serious faction issues. This has to be one of the dumbest posts I have seen in a while...

Why the bloody hell would you want to start from scratch anyway ? It's not like you could have totally screwed up on all those 3 characters you already had. Anyway, if you WANTED to start from scratch, there is absolutely no good reason to REACTIVATE an old account with 3 pre-existing characters on it. That's what trial accounts are for.

Just be glad it's not possible to insta-delete characters. I've had that happen to a certain other MMO. Time to admit you didn't think this through before posting mate. 10 hours. Oh. Noes.

Playing devils advocate here.
It depends on how long he has been playing, and how long he has played each character. He may be wanting to start over with a "fresh" character so that people won't presume that he already knows what it is he is doing. Regardless of the number of failmails and honor tankers out there, people tend to presume that a character which is multiple years old knows what he is doing.
So if he has a brand new character, people will treat him like a newbie which is what he may be wanting. ----------
