I have three character slots on this account, two I use and one I don't. And that one I don't use, that I'd like to use, which took an hour to find an unused name that I didn't even want, I don't want to use until I can get a name that I want.
I remember when trying to find a name, I'd log in and search character names, 99% of the names I'd thunk up already taken names by people that made trial accounts and then abandoned them, and I'm sure that's three names per account.
Time to do a database purge, CCP. Remove all the trial accounts older than two years. You think they are suddenly going to come back and shovel over large amounts of money that you would not purge them? It's a disservice to the subscribers that you leave these accounts on the database. If you do, I'd drop a PLEX or two to train that 3rd alt a bit, having a name I want. One in the hand is worth two in the bush.
And I know you can...

It is good suggestion i approve it. I don't plan to make new acc now. But sure it sucks to get name in this game.
Don't purge even 5 yo full accounts. But go for trials without mercy. Or as it is said - 2 or more years old trials. |

Speaking personally, I use random name generators for my alts, so I don't encounter this particular problem.
That said, I agree in principle. A database purge of old trial accounts would be reasonable. |

They should also remove all characters and accounts that have been permanently banned after a certain amount of time. |

each account trial or otherwise is kept just in case they return. end of.
if you have issues picking a name thats your problem due to lack of imagination.

Talking about "lack of imagination" with your char name is kinda funny.
But I agree in so far that random name generators or some fantasy remove every problem with occupied names. I have not encountered yet a situation where I had to change my initial name idea due to someone else already having this name. Of course you cannot choose something like BillyJoe or Jack Frost or the like common crappy names. |

It's dead weight on the database. It's more efficient to purge irrelevant data fields. Needs a batch job purge. No one making a temporary account eight years ago on trial is going to be activating it again. Too many wasted names. Not concerned regarding banned accounts, that has other issues. It's quite common to purge trial accounts and such, it's smart to do from am IT perspective. |

I say - remove all unused chars on old un subbed accounts that have < 5mln sp. Why. I created myself one account ages ago, this was buddy + plex , but at some point i come to conclusion that i don't need it any more so i stopped to pay for it. I don't remember login/ password , but the chars will be probably sitting in eve forever as i used plex on this account.
Just send emails to all the people that have this kind of characters/ Accounts - that if they don't click on some link - within 2 months this characters will be deleted. Isthar Changes LVL 5 Missions in Nullspace |

removal of trial accounts dated over 2yrs old thus freeing up character names I agree with.
removal of old accounts with characters that have 5mil or less sp I disagree with due to a large portion of the vets player base who have inactive accounts for a reason.
removal of banned accounts is and is not a bad idea however that is mainly in ccp's hands |
