Say it all in the topic title. I find it hilarious that the character creation date is called "Date of Birth". It's like the character was born an adult with the knowledge of how to fly epic space ships.
This is a simple change to will change "Date of Birth" in character sheet / corporate member details / other areas to a little more reasonable "Date of Certification" or something to that effect. "Date of Birth" is a real immersion breaker...

This should be easy to do as well. I already suggested it in one of those "Thousand little things" threads, but I might as well support it for added visibility.

Makes more sense, doesn't hurt anyone who isn't in favour of the change and shouldn't take 3 months and an entire team to implement.
Ok, I could be wrong on that last point.

Then I suppose you would agree to having your date of birth changed each time you are vat born? 
You weren't Vat born with the knowledge of being a pod pilot nor with any of the other skills. Your character started out actually being born and having a 'normal' life until you decided to go for the capsuleer training which is when, in your character's life history, you started the game. Thus this proposal makes absolute sense since we aren't being born into the game, we are being certified as a pod pilot.
Should be an easy fix too. Just a matter of changing some text...

I like the born on date more. We are not still human. They toil, they get old and sick, they die.
We don't get sick, we don't get old, we don't get hurt. We have wealth beyond what they can ever dream of. We can store massive volumes of information in our heads.
We simply are.
When we became capsuleers we become something new, and whatever you want to call it, we are no longer human. Our born on date is simply when we became what we are now.

I think the "date of birth" is the date we became a pod pilot, ie immortal. It was our date of birth, at which point we ceased to have the ability to perminantly die (barring a bad accident with the cloning).

Edited by: Wilhelm Riley on 14/04/2011 06:25:39 Date of Birth doesn't even make sense, EVE time is measured differently from real world time.
What year is EVE on now? Something like YC113 I think, so where do they get 2003-2011 from?

Hey look, this guy eye rolled, he must be right. No wait, he's not, he's just using the eyeroll emote because he thinks he's obviously right, but he's not even close, that's not what I said, nor is it a logical assumption. In fact it's stupid.
Date of birth is a commonly accepted and understood principle, which is why it's used inappropriately in many applications.
Maybe get over it?

I don't care other than to add that if it was changed I'd like to enter a DOB to satisfy my RP fancy. It would obviously have to be limited to a certain period in game years preferably as some multiple of actual 'pilot certification'. That way only the really really disgustingly old SOB could claim to be born prior to the clone and capsule being joined.

Wow, I've looked at this thread fifteen times and couldn't care less about some note on my character sheet regarding birth date or some such.
I'm going to support it anyway.
Why?
Actually, despite my seeming lack of concern, some small voice deep inside of me says it's neccessary, along with changing the year to something fictional, as is good and proper.

Edited by: Spirulina Laxissima on 09/05/2011 13:23:12 The Date of Birth does not refer to the capsuleer, but to the Person. The corporation that is founded to represent the human being so s/he can interact with the SCC and ISK can be pushed around. And to enforce rules, statutes, etc.
The Person is then fused with a larger corporation, and becomes the Daughter of a n00b corp.
The Person can of course found h/er/is own mother corp and enforce h/er/is own rules, statutes, etc.
The human being can do none of that, so you see how important the wording is here.
Day of Birth it must stay. (notice the capitalization, -dead giveaway for corpspeak)
