I've heard all kinds of explanations as to why some of our older characters have missing corp history but nothing solid.
I have tons of faith in CCP's ability to solve this problem.
What's the use of having a 11 year old character if he shows up as 3?
Fi T'Zeh is a good example.

Playing EVE on easy mode since May 2003. That was posted in 2007 but his employment history says that he wasn't born until: "Aliastra 2010.08.14 10:27 to 2011.02.20 18:40"
Seems counter productive as your age is pretty important in this game...IMHO

The question is...will they fix it?
I don't think we can just have CCP verify our corp history at the drop of a hat.
Shouldn't your corp history be readily available?
Explaining your age and supplying screen grabs to a potential CEO gets old.

I think it's worth fixing. Just add a born on date...

Okay corp history is just that "corp history" and not "pilot age history". If you weren't in a corporation why would it show you were?
CCP could add a "Born _____" on the character sheet but this isn't something that is "broken" |

I strongly disagree. 
My birthday doesn't show up correctly except in my Character Sheet, EveMon and eveboard.
Maybe a certificate or something?
Fact: It should be easy to tell how old "ANY" character is.

You disagree with what?
I'm not saying the birthday shouldn't be listed in the bio somewhere. . I was just saying characters birthday isn't listed in the employment history. It's "employment history" so it only shows when a character is employed.

And the genius in you never thought of this fact:
It might not be the first character with that name...
Now go figure out the rest yourself.

It's my understanding that once a name is taken by a character it's permanently taken. Even deleting the character doesn't remove the history. |

You can delete a char and reuse its name just fine and the new char will show the new creation date and history. Only databases like killboards, forums etc will give the older info when you search for it.
Yes, yes-áI am. Thanks for noticing.

So what happens to the old character history like if you search people in game? When you delete a character it goes to "Doomheim 666" corp

CCP could easily add a 'Clone Created' or 'Licensed' date under the characters name in the characters info box.
Then everyone could see a characters true age regardless of what their employment history shows.

That's a good idea. I'm not sure how much coding that would involve so if it's a lot CCP might not consider it important for a few pre noob corp pilots. |

It stretches it's history.
It keeps the history on the char itself aye , i was born as flakes but biomassed myself.Then reborn as flakeys.Now my corp history shows my true age even though the name change but battleclinic/zkillboard will keep the kills on the names seperatly.
Your name however when biomassed can be taken , it is the reason i am called flakeys not flakes .
We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

Actually the start of the employment history is your birth date.
If a character is deleted a new one of the same name can be made.

If a character is deleted a new one of the same name can be made. The first part of that is not correct. My birth date is 2003.05.10 (SEE HERE).
My employment data shows: "The Spirit Clan 2006.08.05 20:12 to 2006.09.25 18:29" as my first gig.
Not even close to my birth date.
It should be fixed.

I wish my character age (and corp history) was not available for public use. Be thankful that your enemies will underestimate your potential ability when they check on you in game. |

That may be good for some and bad for others. Shouldn't the system be fair, firm and consistent?

Is this a new issue or something that goes back as far as 2006. If it's a new issue then they should be able to fix it, if it's an old issue then they may not be able to. |

It's an old issue but that doesn't mean that it can't be fixed. I'm sure CCP can find a way!

Iirc they did away with a lot of the old code sometime back. Wouldn't surprise me if the records at the time of major changes were only attached to the characters. My feeling is those old character records that were lost are exactly that lost. |

As pointed out earlier CCP has access to this information. Read this post by CCP Falcon.
