If they're still paying, why should they be kicked out?

They do close after a certain period of activity. That period is one month after the last bill was paid and/or the money ran out. If the station is full, those bills will ramp up pretty quickly and empty the wallet faster.

Evicting people who are still paying the bills doesn't make much sense.

I'm all for keeping offices for people who actively submit PLEX to keep their accounts open in the corp's leadership. But if they haven't even renewed their registeration to be a pilot in the last 5 years. They're not coming back. CCP needs to purge this nonsense.

If they stopped playing 5 years ago, they would have lost the office 5 years ago since auto-payment of bills hadn't been introduced yet.

I realize it's tricky to just remove people's assets or do things to their inactive character's stuff in space. But after some X amount of time, penalties should be imposed for inactive accounts.

There already is a penalty, they can't play.

There are. Their assets are impounded and they have to pay to get them back.
Until they stop paying their bills, there's no reason to complicate matters and kick them out just because you don't want to keep looking for a different station that offers the same services.

Btw, why didn't you do that before the move?

The rent in these offices, by the way, is 29k isk.... haha I'll be waiting a loooooooong time for someone to default :)

oh boy... i know of a story that has the same plot.

(great comic btw, worth a read.)

Well, my alliance just moved to a new region and we have a pretty awesome station with a clone bay. The only catch is all of the office space is at capacity, with most of these being corps that have been inactive for years.

Is there anyway to evict these corps? I have yet to find an active member in any of them, let alone a director or CEO.

hm, i have noticed this a lot lately, all over, when looking for offices,
some systems i work in, there is no chance of ever getting an office,
and i still see no people in local
where i see offices for rent, most of them, hundreds of millions of isk,
even semi empty systems, 100m+ per month for an office
yes, it's high demand and such, but still,

other things aside, i miss the time years ago, when i could just GET an office, no availability issues,
mabey it's time to increase the number of offices per station,
there are easily at least five times more corps then there were back when this system was designed,
mabey the system should be updated?

OP, you are not reading the answers. Bills are not paid automatically so there are active players paying for those offices.

Rent can be paid automatically from the corp wallet, so if someone stopped playing with say 20mil in the acc and had set the 29k rent on auto it's going to be paid for a looong time.

GǪbut again, if the rent is 29k, there will be plenty of space in that station or the rent will shoot up very quickly. A full station will see a rental increase of just over 300% per month.

I don't think OP really wants to pay rent in a full station, once he sees what the bill is.

Because people who actually play the game need the space.
