fenyar attica Brave Newbies Inc. Brave Collective 1	Posted - 2014.04.30 11:12:00 - [1] - Quote Hey guys, I was just wondering whether cancelling your subscription to the game with delete your characters--I really enjoy the game but will not be able to be online much in the near future.

Riot Girl You'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack 3145	Posted - 2014.04.30 11:14:00 - [4] - Quote Your characters will be fine. Oh god.
Cat Troll Systems Federation Coalition of Galactic Unity 460	Posted - 2014.04.30 11:15:00 - [5] - Quote Character will exist forever. Well, not "forever", CCP MIGHT delete some very very inactive characters after a very very long time. I'm talking 5 years + of not logging in. Lolwut: "Yes, you kids don't know how lucky you have it. These days noobs get given free tackle ships for PvP but back in the old days the only tackle ships we were given were our pods. We had to use them to bump their rookie ships out of alignment to stop them warping off."

No not at all, your characters are safe until you come back Like, literally for years and years You have to take the decision to biomass(delete) them yourself CCP has said it keeps characters pretty much forever "They feel the need to cover their ears and eyes in horror at your very presence." - Pontianak Sythaeryn "I can't honestly believe that Peace and Prosperity has a face like a naughty sarcastic nun that's come to whip me with a ruler." - Domanique Altares -á-á *FREE THE JITA 1*
Sibyyl 568	Posted - 2014.04.30 11:16:00 - [7] - Quote fenyar, the pink blob needs you! Take solace knowing that even after the sun sets, and your sky is filled with darkness, that the sun is still shining. -D. Entervention Psychotic Monk joins BNI
Pirmasis Sparagas Bullet Cluster Lokun Listamenn 73	Posted - 2014.04.30 11:18:00 - [8] - Quote It wont delete your characters, so don't worry. When you have time/money you can renew your subscription, and your character will be where you left it. The only thing what will happen is that your character will not be learning Skill Points. So if you have money but not time, I still recommend not to break your subscription and learn very long skills. So when you have time, your character actually will be better and already learned "that long and boring" skills
Webvan State Protectorate Caldari State 2398	Posted - 2014.04.30 11:21:00 - [9] - Quote Not unless EVE is dieingGäó I've rage quit at least three times...
Cebraio 4S Corporation Goonswarm Federation 403	Posted - 2014.04.30 11:33:00 - [10] - Quote Cat Troll wrote: Character will exist forever. Well, not "forever", CCP MIGHT delete some very very inactive characters after a very very long time. I'm talking 5 years + of not logging in. They will not even do that. Why should they? Characters, their assets and skills are just some records in a few database tables. Nothing that takes considerable amount of space.

Sirinda Ekchuah's Shrine Comporium 322	Posted - 2014.04.30 11:43:00 - [11] - Quote Eh, a while ago I tried to get a friend to restart their account. Turns out it didn't exist anymore. Make of that what you will.

A message to Customer Support with as many of the relevant details will help get them back into space!

Viantha To Kill With Intent 1	Posted - 2014.04.30 11:48:00 - [13] - Quote I've been unsubbed for a year and a half before, characters still here
James Amril-Kesh 4S Corporation Goonswarm Federation 9474	Posted - 2014.04.30 12:02:00 - [14] - Quote Space for character data is something that CCP will never run out of. "Pretty much all 14 of the CSM were in favor of a drone assign nerf for OBVIOUS gameplay reasons" - Sala Cameron
Andski GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 10575	Posted - 2014.04.30 12:10:00 - [15] - Quote Your character is three years old. Even if CCP ever does go ahead and free up abandoned characters from the namespace, I strongly doubt they'll touch anything that went beyond the trial period. You'll be fine.

Jenn aSide STK Scientific Initiative Mercenaries 6295	Posted - 2014.04.30 12:26:00 - [16] - Quote Man, I saw the title to this thread and I clicked on it all ready for a fight against someone pissed off about some internet video game change who would then be trying to extort CCP by threatening to withhold 15 U.S. dollars until they change their minds. My hand was poised over the "might I acquire your as of now useless items perchance?" hotkey I set up. Then I read the OP and get even madder at the fact that it's actually a reasonable and honest request for information. THAT is not the General Discussion way sir and/or madam. BURN the HERETIC.

I've been unsubbed a few times over my career. I still have all my stuff and characters.

Make of that what you will. CCP have said they haven't deleted a single account as of date, although they only guarantee to keep them for a number of years. He's probably just forgotten the username/email, either way, customer support should be able to assist him. www.minerbumping.com

GM Nythanos Game Masters C C P Alliance 117	Posted - 2014.04.30 14:26:00 - [20] - Quote Accounts are left as-is, so your characters will be in the same condition when you return as when you left. EVE itself might be different, if your character was docked in a 0.0 station you may come back to them and find the station has changed hands(multiple times even) for example. Sirinda wrote: Eh, a while ago I tried to get a friend to restart their account. Turns out it didn't exist anymore. Make of that what you will. Your friend can file a ticket for assistance in locating the account if they're running in to difficulty locating it. Either through the website (http://community.eveonline.com/support/support-tickets/) or by emailing [email protected] I don't recall us having wiped inactive accounts at any point though.

Well, not "forever", CCP MIGHT delete some very very inactive characters after a very very long time. I'm talking 5 years + of not logging in. CCP wouldn't ever completely destroy your account/characters simply for being inactive. If you're no longer playing, THEY WANT YOU TO COME BACK! Destroying your toons would convince you not to. The only motivation to delete old/inactive accounts is to clean up the database, the same goal can be achieved by simply archiving old accounts that could be retrieved upon re-activation. There is no practical reason or motivation for them to destroy accounts/characters.
Brooks Puuntai Solar Nexus. 1825	Posted - 2014.04.30 16:30:00 - [22] - Quote Sirinda wrote: Eh, a while ago I tried to get a friend to restart their account. Turns out it didn't exist anymore. Make of that what you will. If your friend was only on a trial account, those may get wiped after a certain point. However non-trial accounts I have never heard of them deleting.

Lord Battlestar CALIMA COLLABORATIVE Atrox Urbanis Respublique Abundatia 188	Posted - 2014.04.30 16:46:00 - [23] - Quote Considering your character information isn't that big to begin with, they could have hundreds of thousands of inactive players and it wouldn't change it because space wise your account is mostly just info on your characters, and a list of assets, nothing more. It is unlikely they need to delete accounts, if anything they would just archive them like mentioned before. I once podded myself by blowing a huge fart.
Stanislaus Kretschmann Rainbow Space Kitten Initiative 14	Posted - 2014.04.30 17:31:00 - [24] - Quote Just posting to share my experience here. I started a trial account in 2007, and never subbed. Flash forward to a couple months ago, I was able to provide enough information for CCP to find the account, and they reactivated it! I subbed it purely for the nostalgia factor. Point is, your account is probably still there.
Dalloway Jones Republic Military School Minmatar Republic 213	Posted - 2014.04.30 19:02:00 - [25] - Quote Be sure to make a note of the names of the characters on your accounts and the email that the account is attached to if you decide to take a break from the game. You would be surprised that after a three year break you may forget exact spellings of names and may have canceled old email accounts and be unable to retrieve information. I got back my three old accounts recently but for two of them it took quite a bit of digging around to remember all the important information that is needed to restore an old account.
Gogela Freeport Exploration Loosely Affiliated Pirates Alliance 3210	Posted - 2014.04.30 19:38:00 - [26] - Quote I've been playing since '06 and never heard of an account getting wiped. Forced name changes and bans? That's another story. cockandballs. Every. Time. EvE Spaceship Guide Works in game only and not updated often
Josef Djugashvilis Acme Mining Corporation 2300	Posted - 2014.04.30 19:59:00 - [27] - Quote I took a four year break, could not remember all my game details, but CCP were most helpful in getting my account active again. This is not a signature.

Either through the website (http://community.eveonline.com/support/support-tickets/) or by emailing [email protected] I don't recall us having wiped inactive accounts at any point though. It's just their word I'm going on, TBH. IIRC they filed a ticket which ended up resolving nothing as the associated account information didn't exist anymore (IIRC). Also, they had Freighters or JF (don't remember which) trained to V, so it definitely wasn't a trial account.
Decaneos Center for Advanced Studies Gallente Federation 106	Posted - 2014.05.01 01:25:00 - [29] - Quote I can to attest to having recovered a Char that i thought was lost and that had been inactive for over 9 years.
E Thatcher Perkone Caldari State 0	Posted - 2014.05.01 01:40:00 - [30] - Quote get your stuff to highsec, Sov of course changes and you can get locked out or locked in, take down any pos's, the new changes in industry might make some systems very competitive for space, any clones in null will probably get cancelled contracts, that's not a big problem but they may go places inconvenient for you, corporate hangers and wallets are vulnerable also. transfer assets into plex, it seems to only appreciate while ships do stupid things in accord with developers whims instead of demand or inflation.
