We are glad to inform you that with immediate effect we introduce mandatory email verification for all new EVE Online accounts. Already existing accounts can optionally verify their email with an according button on Account Management.
We have also added a nice little feature that may help those of you with multiple accounts; you can see all accounts with the same email, directly from Account Management.
For more details how to verify your email and the benefits of email verification, please read CCP Stillman's dev blog Email verification and you! CCP Phantom - Senior Community Representative - Volunteer Manager |

Cool. Will this become mandatory for existing accounts at some point? And also, will we ever be able to use the security dongle we got at fanfest... 2012?

Quote:We're adding a new feature which allows you to see all accounts with the same email, directly from Account Management. Does this mean I can type the email of a friend an see his username or even if he has more accounts? I think nobody uses a seperate email only for EVE or much less for every account.

Nice, but the confirmation email (at least the German one) is a bit annoying to use:
- The activation link isn't clickable. - The activation link is right inside text, so copying it is even harder.
Could you add a paragraph right before and after the link and make it clickable in the HTML version of the mail? Looking for more thoughts? Follow me on Twitter. |

Might as well list all the characters on each account too. That way when they try to login to account management from a different IP later they don't have to go login to the game first to get a name of a character on that account to answer the challenge question.
I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all. |

I tried to verify my email but received mail on russian. Why? Language preference based on my location or there are other criteria? How to stop this "we know better what you need" madness from CCP side and choose default language once and for all?
Also email verification is a good thing, but when will we get proper Email Authorization that is common standard in other MMO's? (Switched IP subnetwork, provider or location? Get an email!) -¥ |

And whatever you do, don't accidently click that second link. Unless you like having your account marked as permanently banned! |

If I could add a suggestion. I verified all my accounts. I use a Gmail account. When they all come in with the same subject line they all get put in the same thread. Maybe put like a unique request identifier or something in the subject line. This way they don't all collapse. Just My 2 cents. |

Well that was unexpected; I hit the verify email button in account management, and it disconnected me from EVE, and now says:
"Trial account EVE-SSO-CONNECTION has not been activated!
Please check the E-Mail address provided at account creation for an activation E-Mail."
...on login.
Waiting for the mail now, takes a while to filter through the spam filters... not exactly what was expected though...
.... and following the email arriving, I can log back on again.
That's a bit harsh during the verification period! -- |

Yay! Thanks for this.
One quest though, is this going to lead to the ability to delete old trial accounts? I have like 5 of the things that I'm not using (they were created at various times when my subscription was lapsed to keep in touch with in game friends or to try out updates to the NPE and I would like to get rid of them Follow my Adventures in New Eden! http://www.skorpiuschronicles.com/

So something isn't right here.
I verified my other account and was promptly permabanned. As in the verification caused my ban. I'm completely at a loss here for what's going on. |

Now this is keeping with eve menus. |

The ONLY thing I beg you to NEVER NEVER NEVER do is to copy the absolutely craptastic way other MMOs do: every time you want to play you must receive an email and click it (or enter a key code) else you can't play.
If you'll do this I will immediately unsub, I had so many troubles with that braindead "solution" that I go nuts just at thinking you could ever implement it. Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

Uh, if it means that in case of a hack it will show the hacker all my account names, I will not use this. (Not that I think I will ever be hacked, I use a secure password, keep my computer updated and don't visit bad EVE sites, so I'm pretty safe. But still.)
And I hope you realize that people change their email addresses all the time and lose access to their old ones, and even forget that they changed address and didn't tell you. You just created a lot of work for your customer support department... . |

We have now deployed a fix for this. The email is now more readable and the links are clickable in any email client, also the verify link is now in bold. |
