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. Edit: I'm actually jealous of those lucky enough to have a blank employment history.
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.

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. |

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. |

I'm sure if it was easy to restore they would have done it by now. There would be no excuse not to.
I'm still suspicious that they haven't got the data, or if they have it's not in an easily useable format. |

Seems counter productive as your age is pretty important in this game...IMHO
That's where you are wrong, age as in when a character is born is not that important.
You could have an 11 year old character (birth date) that's no better than a 2 year old character.
How much sp you have in relevant skills (relevant for the position you are applying for), as well as your skills in using those character skills is what's important. Also a complete employment record helps, so they can see what type of corps you were in.
Birth date is probably the least important except for bragging rights, even then it's worthless unless you have the sp to back it up. |

Birth date is probably the least important except for bragging rights, even then it's worthless unless you have the sp to back it up. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Do some research in the Character Bazaar and see if a character's age has value. I understand your point but if someone wants to get into a pissing match about their age, SP's or experience there should be a method by which they can settle it.
With age if played comes sp, sp is important not age.
