Hey guys, after much deliberation I have decided to give away a decent sum of my belongings before I depart.
You have 8 days to convince me that you should be the recipient of these goodies...
Good luck.

Sorry to hear you go, I assume it's because of the changes to Eve online throughout the last few years?

You're aware that you will no longer be able to post here?
Looking at the number of likes you received and your statement that you rarely played Eve, I just wanted to make you aware that your favorite part of Eve will go away too...

Well firstly I'll say you should hang onto your stuff because you will be glad for it when you come back.
That said I'll humor you in this and assure you that anything that finds itself in my inventory will most assuredly meet an abrupt and hilarious end in a glorious fireball instigated by my own drunken incompetence and/or hubris.
Until that point however said assets would likely be used for the old eve tradition of shooting newbie's in the face,
and If they take it well,
will summarily be showered in advice,ship fits, links to resources and sometimes isk.
many a fine PvP carreer has begun this way, mine did and I will readily take the time to talk to a genuine newbie who happens to have found himself on my killboard, regardless of the circumstances.
In short, keep your stuff dude but if you really want to go I'll happily provide hilarious and entertaining demises for any and all the things.

To the OP...I'm going to have to agree with the above statement..Keep your stuff...you never know if you'll get that Eve itch down the line...but...if you must give it away..Ralph King-Griffin has given the most noble cause yet for a viable and honorable use for your stuff. :)

He hasn't. He has certainly used wat before, but also he hasn't claimed the right to it and often deliberately seceded the right to you. I can't say if he has made dibs to that right in the event of you giving up on your account, but in the case he already hasn't I intend to maintain my claim to it. You're going to end up losing the trademark anyway, since maintaining trademarks is based on continued use of it and clearly you won't be posting anymore, so you might as well make a proper decision on who inherits those rights. |

This is a decision that you must make. Should you decide that this is what you want, I have listeners to the podcast that are new and would benefit from the donations.
However, I would recommend that you take a break and return to the game with materials already in stock.

I'm trying to make a living out of losing Tengus and I need more startup capital. I absolutely will NOT keep your stuff safe until you decide to come back.
In all seriousness, you should probably keep your stuff. I have left EVE and come back several times just because I love blowing up spaceships. Starting over after having such a deep pool of resources is no fun. This is not to discourage new players from trying the game; rather, it's just to say appreciate what you have. You could always be your own sugar daddy later on if you make an alt. |

I don't know; you might be able to get some of that sensawonda back if you start completely fresh when EVE more resembles what you're looking for. In that case, Sindel Pellion's Angel Project might be a good place for your stuff. It depends on how you want your stuff used while you're gone.
If you'd enjoy your character as it is *once EVE is more like what you want*, then keep your stuff.
Either way, I don't want it. Fly safe!

Yes guys, the decision to stop playing was not a quick one.
I've been debating it for the last several months, recently I tried getting back into the game just to have the same problem over again.
I'll return when we get full station interaction and environment...and knowing how ccp loves to waste money on shittier projects like legion and dust, I probably won't be back. And if that time comes I doubt my small amount of assets will be of any use to me.
I don't enjoy the core gameplay of eve, I only enjoy the social aspect of the game though that has become increasingly more difficult to maintain over the last year.
That said, I'll miss you guise GÖÑ

Yeah I may not have much ISK or in game assets after all these years. But all the friends I have made and people I have met more than make up for the lack of pixel money.
The social aspect is a big thing for me in Eve. Yeah I don't get out much anymore.

I'll make the same suggestions I make to everyone thinking of leaving, any of the following are fun and/or good times:
1. Sell everything you have and buy PLEX with the isk. It'll be worth a lot more when you return (and if it isn't worth a lot more, it will likely be worth at least about the same as it is now).
2. Keep aside a small stash of what you enjoy using the most, then go to a new player system and randomly give away your stuff to obvious newbies. It's a real giggle!
3. Donate to new player organizations, such as the Angel Project, Eve Uni, OUCH or, well, my NewBro Roams new player friendly roams project ;) I use donations to my NewBro Roams to provide all the new players on the roam with ships that promptly get exploded in glorious giggles as I take them on their first roam through nullsec!
4. Don't do anything with your stuff. Just let it sit there, awaiting your return, because when you come back it's like Christmas finding all your stuff again. Amazing how much you forget you had!
5. Sell everything you have and buy the biggest, blingiest thing you can afford, then fit it out in as blingy as whatever funds remain will permit, then invite everyone to come kill you in a big, explosive send-off.
6. Don't leave, we will miss you!

If you are determined to dispose of your stuff, consider some more content-positive options...
1. SCAVENGER HUNT. Anchor some big containers full of your stuff in deep safes in random system(s) then post obscure puzzle/riddle clues on the forums.
2. Burn it...burn it all...while posting bad Norse poetry in local...
