I am not aware of any accounts/characters that have been deleted due to "expiry". Theoretically CCP have the ability and right to do so, but in practice they make strong efforts to keep accounts and characters around forever, so you can return at any time.
Isaac Rogers Gaterau wrote:Second( and more pressing): I was confronted by another player regarding the EULA. I have another account on the DUST 514 side and am part of a fairly well know corp. As such, I felt it my duty as a member of my corp to help spread word to further expand our infantry size to dust mercs in local chat which is fairly common in my past experience. However I was confronted because my capsuleer account is not "yet" part of said corp and I was reported for fraud and claiming to be someone else (I wasn't) and could not prove my innocence at the time. Does this violate EULA? If so, I will cease at once and will discontinue this activity.
He was probably referring to this section of the Terms of Service:
Quote:8. You may not impersonate or present yourself to be a representative of CCP or an EVE Online volunteer. You may not impersonate or falsely present yourself to be a representative of another player, group of players, character or NPC entity.
This rule was recently updated to clarify that impersonating other players or player groups is not fine. Despite there not being an actual change in policy, there were a lot of ruffled feathers about it, and a good amount of people are still shouting "impersonation!" at every turn in a nicely antagonizing fashion.
Your case is a bit unique since it involves DUST corp rather than an Eve corp, and I'm not sure what (if any) distinction there is there. At any rate, your best option is to send a support ticket to CCP (use the "EULA & Terms of Service" section) to clarify the legality of stuff. I think you'll be fine, but I am not a Game Master so that is not an official response/opinion. File the support ticket. Better safe than sorry.
