A dev have posted that it would take 700 hours of downtime to get rid of all the instas from the total number of 280 million bookmarks there currently is in the database (as I understood it).
Thats quite insane. So I ask, what if ccp would just delete the entire bookmark table from the database and put in a fresh, empty table? That would mean killing ALL bookmarks, and you would have to recreate the ones you have for safespots and other stuff.
Question is, would you agree to do it? I would, but I dont have that many safespots etc. --- Eve Wiki | Eve Tribune | Eve Pirate |

I'd lose all (3) of my precious (inaccurate) safe spot BM's! ---

Delete it, cap the max BMs you can create thereafter.
Some cans and stuff might be 'lost' but since they're findable with probes, this isn't a big deal.

would suck for a few months then be ok.
how about a more radical "cargo can amnesty" whereby all cargo cans in empire space were deleted and the owners got isk equivalent back?

Bearing in mind that most people are already deleting their own Instas, that time should b dramatically decreased by the time they actually decide to run it. -----------------------------------------------

If the database is structured that way then I'd be for it. I can pick up a few cans before they do it... A news notice on the login screen giving date of the deletion would be all that I ask.

You know, it IS possible to delete bookmarks from only a few accounts every time.
Start with accounts 1-2000.. the first day do 2001-3000 the next day etc.
Would probably take less than 5 mins at each DT and in a month they would be done. ------------------------ I don't believe in sigs. |

two thumbs up - delete all BM, make a limit to total amount you can have at once (30-100?) and make it impossible to copy bookmarks anymore or make any "physical" version.

I'd be happy, i've deleted my safespots anyway. I usually clear them out once a week/month, I'd hate to lose my ship over a safespot compromised by a corpmate going afk in the spot or by having a BM that came from an alliance set. ---
