I read about the first page and decided that since CCP didnÆt make the obvious point of why they are really doing this I will.
Money.
Iceland is on the verge of national bankruptcy, they screwed up and based there economy on massive amounts of debt and now it has come to bite them in the ass.
I saw a news story about it a few days ago and was wondering when CCP was going to screw there playerbase in order to hopefully not go down with a sinking island.
I am very sad to see this happen, I have been facing RL issues and have been unable to keep a steady active account, the only reason I re-activated was because a long skill finished, and it would give me the opportunity to one day fly the massive ships I wanted to.
This is how I got dreadnaut 5, muraders 5, and a whole list of other level 5 skills.
A foolish choice of words to say the least as to the reason. You should have told the truth, I can understand that the bank is about to eat your ass and you need to get active accounts. I wouldnÆt have liked it any more, but I could have understood it.
As soon as I am able I am logging in and unlocking my BPOÆs to sell them to make up for a large debt that I have gotten. If this does go into effect and there isnÆt something that blows me away to replace it I will have no reason to re-activate my account afterwards. (and before you ask, I donÆt have anything to give away all my gear got blown up in a POS a few weeks ago, not CCPÆs fault but another reason why I see no reason to come back)
You are trying to take one of the things that makes the game great to those who canÆt really afford the MMO addiction every month.
I know you probably donÆt care at this point, but I for one will probably be jumping to another game and will pimp that at my Sci-Fi convention next spring. I appreciate the help you gave to us a few years ago, but you have continuously ignored and screwed your players.
Remember this CCP: a negative review spreads itself quickly, a positive one stops after about 3 people and you had to pay the first.

Ok, I am willing to give them the benefet of the doubt.
maybe they do have good features planned to offset it and there PR guy needs to be shot in the face for posting wrong.
If (and only if) the following two things are implemented I will reactivate my account.
1. Skill Que
2. Training multiple characters on the same account.

I think the Wednesday, 15 October 2008, is a day to finish playing eve-online! Ghost Training is one of the reason I play this game, cause I haven't the time for permanent playing. 
would it be possible to make the 15th a no login day?
and ccp will see what they have done
i for one am not logging back in till they give us more info
Agree, I support a blackout day on the 15th

lets explain it to some clever pp's who don't understand
if i want to play game and get exp wen i'm online i play Lineage 2/WoW/GuildWars(very good game actualy)
In eve if you short on time you can set up loong skill (Fighters lvl 5/ Carrier lvl 5) and just leave it.. coz if i come back i still have same SP as frien of me gaming 23/7
THis hasn't changed a bit. They just want you to pay while you let the skills gain and don't log in. Otherwise, let the account lapse and come back to exactly what you left, just like any other game.
The point is i for one dont play any other game, i play EVE (well, played at this point)
the reason i started playing eve was because of "ghost training" as a poor college student you have to be very selective about what months you pay for your game and the only thinnk that kept me able to play with my friends when i re-activated was that my skill had finished when i came back
