Knights Armament State Protectorate Caldari State 192	Posted - 2014.02.14 13:51:00 - [1] - Quote I've noticed that we got some elderly people playing EvE, and I was thinking now would be a great time to offer them an insurance policy, what would happen if the mittani died tomorrow? Think about helping players pass on their accounts to friends and family by letting them setup an in game will. I know untimely and unfortunate things occur every day in the real world, so wouldn't it be nice to know that your loved ones can keep your immortal character alive when you pass on to oblivion? I just don't want you all to die without leaving me your stuff :(. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZOdADD5RNs&feature=youtu.be http://evemouthbreathers.blogspot.com/ https://secure.eveonline.com/trial/?invc=29554516-05f9-4eca-a942-32e1701a6569&action=buddy

Hey, don't get me wrong - I think it's a great idea - just more likely to get dev attention if you put it in the right place :P Perhaps a helpful ISD will move it for you.

WASPY69 Deep Core Mining Inc. Caldari State 158	Posted - 2014.02.14 15:21:00 - [10] - Quote This is a horrible idea. If a person enters the EVE gate irl, their in game character should remain permanently inactive as well. Imagine if some pubbie were to start playing on respectable accounts where the person passed away irl. No... just no. Maybe it's a cultural difference, but where I'm from you don't pillage the dead (so to speak). Leave them to rest in peace.

Well I don't agree that pubbies should be allowed to breath the same air as me, I do understand that they too wish to be allowed to play eve if only to support me with isk from flying such expensive fits.

Victor Andall Complexes and Abaddons 101	Posted - 2014.02.14 15:33:00 - [12] - Quote New contract type: will. Upon character biomass, the will takes effect. BUT WHY STOP THERE?! Every EVE player is issued a heartbeat monitor that is linked to the EVE API. This is painfully inserted by CCP Surgeon inside the player. Upon dying the character is automatically biomassed. The blood-curdling scream is recorded and played back to everyone receiving something in the Will upon accepting the contract. Because when a player dies, do we not all die a little inside? I just undocked for the first time and someone challenged me to a duel. Wat do? http://andallcombat.wordpress.com/current-tournament/

Ra Jackson Aliastra Gallente Federation 288	Posted - 2014.02.14 15:49:00 - [14] - Quote So you think it is a good idea if somebody continued playing as Vile Rat?
Khergit Deserters Crom's Angels 2755	Posted - 2014.02.14 15:55:00 - [15] - Quote I, Khergit Deserters, bequeath my character and EVE account to my nephew Benjamin. On the condition that he shall always keep the subscription active, using his own money, in perpetuity. And on the condition that he shall enjoy being mistaken for me, the decendent player-testator, and never rage quit, despite dealing with the many people I have offended or made unfavorable impressions upon, over many years of inebriated ATK gameplay.

gattttan Crazy Space Troopers 0	Posted - 2014.02.14 16:14:00 - [17] - Quote I think the idea of passing your stuff on to a player of choice is good. But not the character, And maybe CEO roles to directors would be useful. But that should only apply to corps over 200 members. Just for the general headache it could cause ccp as they would have to prove the person was dead and not just on vacation
Vyl Vit Cambio Enterprises 582	Posted - 2014.02.14 16:40:00 - [18] - Quote Ahar. This is kind of funny...in a nice way...sorta. I'm 58 years old. I suppose that's ancient by some short-sighted standards. (I won't bother to remind you, the kids you influence now could very well be punching your ticket in a very short while, oh ye who never ages.) I'm leaving my account(s) to my grandson who is six years old right now. Only thing is, with this life expectancy thing, I have another 32 years before I have to start worrying about not logging in anymore. Yeah. I have more time left than a lot of "youngsters" have been alive thus far. Can you believe that? If you can't, you better start, 'cause it was only yesterday I was 24 years old fighting the communist hordes for your right to post inane crap on game forums....two kids in diapers...feeling immortal...grrrrrrrr I guess plain cussedness is the Fountain of Youth in the end. You'll get my game when you pry it out of my arthritic, wrinkled up, liver-spotted hand! Anyone with any sense has already left town.
MEZZA Creire-Geng TEC-NOLOGY Sorry We're In Your Space Eh 25	Posted - 2014.02.14 16:56:00 - [19] - Quote wow.... i dont know how to respond to this some people need to wake up and listen to what they are saying/suggesting. wrong on so many levels and above all else this is a game with nothing more than pixels on a screen EvE is not real people.
Pok Nibin Filial Pariahs 235	Posted - 2014.02.14 17:00:00 - [20] - Quote I'm real. I suppose your keyboard just pounds on itself...interesting. Dont fight it; Rejoin your Amarrian patriarchs; You know you want to.

Graabeerd Khagah ImaNicePirate.com Ideal Society 99	Posted - 2014.02.14 19:24:00 - [22] - Quote Aging?? Are you trying to tell me that just because I'm 61 (soon to be 62) that I can't keep up with you younguns?? I can honestly say I can probably out whipped most of you younger guys in a wrestling match, then be my luck I get poddded...again LOL!! Seriously I haven't thought about what would happen to my account(s) that I have all over the internet but yes there are ways of immortalizing or remembering those who lives were full of adventure, excitement and what ever else. I haven't really sat down with an attorney yet and thanks for reminding me of that. I'll let you all know what I find out in a few days and bring it forward to this amazing wonderful community
rswfire Firesworn Firesworn Nation 165	Posted - 2014.02.14 19:30:00 - [23] - Quote Personally, I want to have my decomposing body nourish a new tree...and just be a tree after I die. That's a real thing... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYAz0aWEzpw http://www.firesworn.com/index.php?/topic/69-about-firesworn-nation/
Obunagawe 322	Posted - 2014.02.14 19:54:00 - [24] - Quote You can't leave your account to someone as this is in breach of the EULA.

CCP: "We know what's best for the game, so you can't have any options....."

Muestereate Minions LLC 173	Posted - 2014.02.14 21:46:00 - [27] - Quote your account can't be sold but your character can. The cost of this service if I offered it as a third party would have to include enough isk in fees to compensate for character transfer charges. Perhaps the paupers have to be buried as usual in an unmarked data server field but the rich could easily pass through a third partys hands quite legally. I can't figure out how to do accidental sudden death or how the income stream would work exactly but a few options could be calculated. Monthly premiums would appeal more to the masses but if anybody is interested in me handling this just start sending me a hundred mill a month now and a signed notice from your doctor that he doesn't expect you to kick within the next couple years. and we'll make adjustment on the fly. I guess your family should be prepared to send me a death certificate scan. Like real insurance if you die early I'll eat the fees and if youo don't I make money. Thanks for the great Isk making Idea OP, my fees and service will be better than yours
Mr Epeen It's All About Me 4196	Posted - 2014.02.14 21:51:00 - [28] - Quote Knights Armament wrote: ...what would happen if the mittani died tomorrow? As tempting as it is, I'm not even going to touch that one. But the things I'm thinking right now... Mr Epeen There are 86,400 seconds in a day. You just saved one of them by typing 'u' instead of 'you'.-á Congratulations, dumbass!

Leave them to rest in peace. Once you're dead, there's nothing left. Saying "don't steal from the dead" is like saying "don't steal from that tree". It's kinda silly.
Plastic Psycho Necro-Economics 1264	Posted - 2014.02.14 22:10:00 - [30] - Quote Nothing concrete to contribute to this thread that's going no particular place important. Just wanted to express my appreciation of your handle: Knights Armament. Good stuff!
