6GM told me yesterday to cancel the contracts so obviuosly he's never played before because the items will stay where they are. Also most our corp assets like BPOs etc are on his characters which is the stuff we'd really like to get back. CCP says we cannot get any of those items back.

Sorry if this is TL;DR but I thought there was precedent for this happening and the corp got all their stuff back (maybe they weren't moving at the time it happened so stuff was organized) and when i got the "we're not doing **** to help you" response it kinda pissed me off.

Items, no matter how they are labeled, in personal hangars are owned by the player who owns the hangar. No exceptions.

if the items were placed in a corp hangar, then when CEO was transferred to new pilot, the items in corp hangers would be accessible to the new CEO (assuming no one else had roles).

Courier contracts to "expired" pilots always can be cancelled and the items go back to where the contract was formed. This is how it has always been. If those items are now in an outpost owned by someone who might be less than friendly, see if you can open up a diplomatic line and work out something. However, this is a good lesson to learn that you never ever keep really expensive stuff in a conquerable outpost.

TEST pets are worse than actual TEST. You disgust me.

let me guess, someone stole your sweetroll?

The OP is right, the handling of CCP regarding this sad situation is despicable.

Also this puts my plans to corp infiltrate and then kill the CEO's on hold, as it seems to not be possible due to the stupid GMs.

Sorry but how does CCP know he actually died and you're not just scamming him on his vacation?

Sucks but if i could just say 'hey my ceo died gimme his stuffs' there wouldnt be many corporations left in eve

If you don't mind mind me asking, how did your CEO die and how did you find out?

At a guess, RL friends play EVE?

At a second guess, family post on his Facebook?


Someone made a point above, if one of his immediates contacted CCP and forwarded details such as a death cert etc there may be a case toward it.

However *not that this bit will come up in selective quoting but OH WELL* chances are if this was recent his immediates have bigger concerns and grievances than helping a few people he played with get their internet pixels back. Time and a place for these things, and in the big list of priorities, you won't be near the top.

fair enough..

altho i wouldnt post death certificate of relative to some gaming company ? Sounds like a really bad joke if you ask me .

at my post28 sound like optimal approach, which will does not burden anyone, except CCP employee.

Problem with your post, person goes on a long ass self discovery sabbatical to "middle of f##king nowhere" like those people who spend half a year + up a mountain in Nepal for example.

He's informed the corp of this, set up directors, relocated assets etc.


In every situation there is the potential for it to backfire horribly. The only way to be 100% certain is through authentic documentation, however getting someone to waste time doing that (unless they also play the game themselves) is very unlikely.

Also if he passed away, wouldn't his bank account close and thus his game account essentially stop dead?

Well there is an really small chance of that happening. Make a poll how many people playing EVE goes on such "journey"

It is still there, but then well its simple CCP offer compensation to the injured party, lets say three PLEXes and life time ban for this shenanigan Yep CCP would be at loss there but chances are really really small.

It only needs to happen once for it to be a problem.

Any policy change to this effect needs to be foolproof, not to mention the fact you then need to explain to a potential f##k ton of people that you aren't really dead.

You'd be surprised with how many fucks a bank gives to someone who died =)

My father passed away 7 years ago with an unpaid debt, and the bank still sends letters to my house asking him to pay up, and offering deals and such. Mind you, the bank isn't asking me or anyone else for that matter, its asking him

One time i even considered sending a note of "adress change" to the bank so that they would send the bills to the cemetery instead.. but i don't think the old man deserves to be bothered tbh

I can see that, i am just naive about people decency. And i always fail.

Morons, that why you assign directors and shares so you can vote on **** like this, like unlocking BPOs

Teaches you to not have a dictatorship.

You all fail at corp management

And you fail at reading comprehension. Happens, just dont know what is worse.

by contacting the account owner ? like via e-mail ???

Then finish it with following line

If you dont answer this email in *some time* we would consider *some action* as appropriate ..

f.e. ??

Either way its not like its impossible. Even if he is not, not responding to such email will actually cover the come-back rage.

sorry but that is a terrible idea. In any legal system around the world there is no way to transfer ownership without a declaration of intent.

With the same right you could just put a note on any parked car that say "if you don't show up and tell me not to take this car within 24 hours i'll just consider it mine". Sounds stupid?
Well it is and same goes for your idea

that's a good thing about our legal system: that your property is protected by law even if you are not sitting on it with a baseball bat 24/7
