OK.. I have an alt on one of my accounts that I have used for high sec suicide ganking of macro miners in the past. Well my wife is starting to get interested in the game, and I have decided it would be nice to delete that character and let her start a new one on that character slot, however, I have been told that deleting a character with low security status can be considered 'alt recycling' and deemed an exploit? I am already using the other 2 characters on that account (1 miner and 1 trader) and only have the one alt that I consider disposable. Anyone know if I will get nabbed for recycling the alt with the low security status? Is there a certain level of low sec status where I wont be able to recycle at all? -=^=-

It could be seemed odd, you could just keep the char and stop training on it- you never know when you might need a alty :)

If you do it deliberately and repeatedly to be able to continue high sec ganking it's an exploit but I very much doubt this would be considered so.
If you really want to be sure create a petition and ask the GMs about it.

get her a trial account - that way you can play together :)

Yeah, get her her own account, so you can play together.
As far as deleting the alt, I don't know. I think it should be ok, as long as you don't repeatedly delete alts and re-create them for the sole purpose of ganking without penalties.

There is no such rule. The rule is that you cannot repeatedly recycle alts to continue the suicide ganking. So if your girl isnt planning to go into the suicide business there should be no problem.

As mentioned its only an exploit to repeatedly recycle the alts to avoid the security hit. ---

If you get her her own account, not only will you be able to play together but your skill training will be separate from each other. She may get frustrated if she can't train anything since you're taking a month to train Amarr Frigate V. And if she's anything like my wife, one major frustration is all it takes for her to lose interest.
Of course... my wife found City of Heroes to be too complicated...

Thanks for the replys folks. To all of you telling me to get her a trial account; I currently have 3 open active accounts, one is my main combat character (this one) and one is my miner, and one is a hauler/mfg/support combat. The miner alt is pretty much right where I want him skill wise, that account also has a character with mid-level trading skills which I use quite a bit. Was thinking that would be a good account to stop training so my wife can make a new character. She has played with me on the hauler/support account and seemed to enjoy it, but wanted to 'go her own way' so to speak ;) Guess its time to send DieMacroScum to the vats -=^=-

Use it as the prefect excuse for yet another account. Then blame it on the wife when she gets bored.

Sharing an account is "technically" against the EULA
So a trial account will be the better option...
Most people know within 2 weeks if they like the game or not, admittedly they havent scratched the surface, but you get a feel for it..
