EVE shut down last night when my subsciption ran out and flashed up a box telling me my connection was about to be terminted. All I had to do was go reactivate like I do every month but how crap would that be if I was using an insta dock while flagged or in the middle of some PvP? Luckily I was just flying around system. When was this brilliant idea introduced? Or I have I just been lucky up until now not to be logged in when my subscription expired or is this new? Either way it is teh suckage, how tight are CCP that you don't even get until your next logout?
Anyone ever lost a ship to this? Is it petitionable?

just to ask.... why didnt' you have the payments on a monthly cycle? That would probably most likely be the best way to avoid these problems.

Yeah its happened to me while i was afk in a station. Not the best way to do it as i would assume if you petiotioned it ccp would tell you to bog off. Having a mail pop up when you log in within 24hrs of account expiration telling you to renew may be a good measure or at least leave it until next log out.

So put a credit card in your account details. Problem solved. As far as I know its always worked that way, but Ive always done a credit card subscription so I wouldnt encounter this issue.

Perhaps not everyone is in the position to pay for their game via credit card. Not saying this is so in Lanfear's case, but perhaps it might be. Also some countries have banks and cards that aren't recognised by all online retailers (probably, never really looked into that one).
Perhaps this person happens to make alot of ISK and instead of paying for the game with his/her cash, prefers to use CCP's own GTC system.
There are alot of reasons to suggest why this, or any person for that matter, might not pay via credit card and they shouldn't be subject to ship loss or what-have-you simply because they couldn't predict the second in advance that their account was to run out.
I'd personally suggest a 15 minute timer from the moment your account runs out to log off safe before it boots you out, or if that is too much administration then please at least consider the 'until-next-logoff', I mean you have downtime everyday so its not like you're gonna get people AFKing free subscriptions for months on end :)

It must be because I pay using a Debit Card instead of a Credit Card. It is a Visa but it isn't a credit card. I am never getting a Credit Card, too much temptation. If you ain't got it you can't spend it with a Debit Card. Apart from that it works the same I guess. I suppose I will just have to keep an eye on my month running out - I also pay a month at a time just in case I take a break.

Edited by: Rooker on 09/11/2006 11:40:11 Do you have the card info entered here, in your account settings?: https://secure.eve-online.com/billinginfo.asp
I use a debit card too and it's charged automatically.
That's not a very customer-friendly way to deal with an account that needs renewing. It ought to give an advance warning or let it stay active until the next downtime or something.

Edited by: Nerdalus on 09/11/2006 11:51:46 If you dont want to be kicked for not paying your subscrition on time then i suggest you manage your account better. CCP is not obligated to give you a warning as you have access to your account via the EVE website.
Maybe you should spend more time managing your finances, and less time smacking about grammatical correctness in the forums. Edit: What does this have to do with crime and punishment ??

I asked in an effort to manage my account better. I didn't ask you to reword the original posting in a smartarse manner as far as I can remember.
And I would hardly quanitify paying for EVE as 'Managing my finances'.
This post so far has been informative and constructive, did you really have to try and drag it down to your level because you don't like me?

this guys posts get more interesting each time I read them... or it could be I'm dropping in IQ. <shrugs> Either you decided you might quit after this month and forgot to start the cycle or you just prefer to keep it month to month cuz you dont' know what you are doing. It's not hard, a cave man can do it.

Seems to be a relatively common problem. But I know you don't like me so that's cool. What ship did you lose?

Would it be fair to assume trolls also live in caves, if so what isp will hook a cave up to the net for cheap?
