Originally by: Ri****ulo People, this is very simple!
We asked for skill queue training. Skill queue training cant coexist with ghost training. Ergo they were removing ghost training.
I say were because i don't think they will anymore. Guess skill queue training gets the ax in favour of ghost training.
Paid account = skill queue continues Not paid account = skill left training finishes up, but next skill does not continue training = no need to remove ghost training
I wholeheartedly agree but that was not what was discussed by the CSM as our request. This is just a BIG failure to comunicate on everyones half! :P ---

I've never had an alt, and I only own one account. That being said, I just cancelled my subscription, and have no intentions of resubscribing.
Training month-long level 5 skills without having to have your account active is one of the major selling points of Eve Online (among many others), that seperates Eve from the plethora of other MMOs. And lets not kid around, there's lots of level 5 skills you need to train to do fun things in Eve (outside of frigate swarming).

you run 1-2 accounts solid 12 months/year right
they run 12 accounts about 50/50 thats 6 accounts for the 12 months (averaged)
pretty sure ccp's gonna hurt at losing those 6 accounts worth of money/year. *however many people ar edoing it.

Don't let the jumpgate hit you on your ass on the way out.
PS with the trend the way it seems it's going it's not really 30k players playing at once is it? it's like 20k people and 30k characters, extrapolate to the end and when BoB has won it really is Bob, Bob Planck and his 30K alts.

Originally by: Poreuomai I wonder if CCP investigated and found most people training capital pilots only pay for a fraction of the training time. 
There's just a handful of useful skills that you could train for more than 30 days of inactivity and considering the prerequisites for them (1 year minimum, usually 2-3 years total subscription time), it's a minor perk...
How to PVP: 1. buy ISK with GTCs, 2. fit cloak, learn aggro mechanics, 3. buy second account for metagaming

Originally by: Mora Makur First, let's lets clarify:
Inactive / expired accounts = unpaid accounts If you paying and not logged in, your skills continue to train.
Ghost training, that is training a skill while not paying for the account, is at best an exploit. We were getting something for free, and now we are not. Why should you continue to accumulate skill when you are not paying for it? I'm actually angry that this exists. I am quite appreciative that they retain expired account data for as long as they do to begin with.
Those skills that take really long to get are meant to be very hard to obtain, which will require commitment and investment at the expense of other skill areas. That means you are actually going to have make the hard choice between specialist and generalist. A game with hard choices; now that's refreshing!
Then your market orders and research points should stop as well. After all, with market orders up you can make money while your account is expired. With research points you can continue to accumulate them while your account is expired, and when you re-subscribe you come back to a fat amount of RPs that you can cash in for ISK. That is entirely inconsistent with the ghost training thing.
If CCP wants to remove ghost training then they should also remove market orders from inactive accounts, and stop inactive accounts from acquiring RPs.
Dividend payouts to inactive shareholders as well, those should be stopped.
QFT
Yup, these players have an advantage and can generate isk when offline, drop the max length of an order to 14 days and you'll force people who put up 90 day orders to log in, it makes perfect sense. Oh and it balances things we've been complaining about for ages, really it does.

I'm going to pee on all the *redacted* in here who are in support of this for god knows what reason. The old way didn't hurt you, the new way will hurt some of your peers, and you're siding with the terrible, cheating, unresponsive Icelandic internet spaceship company.
Unbelievable.

Yet another great idea from CCP who appear to be more and more turning into Blizzard....... Then again its all about the green these days 
If you are going to stop inactive accounts from training I hope you are going to start giving free days back for all these extended DT's which at the moment seem to be every week.
I bet CCP's next great idea will be you only train skills while you are online

Originally by: Fred Ayurveda Still enjoying the whining from the ****socking ignoramuses who were never intelligent enough to take advantage of unsubscribed training, or never left the house enough to be unsubscribed, ever.
Your opinions are invalid on the basis of your poor personal choices in playing a bad game like Eve so consistently.
Inana, what in the flying **** is Taanasstaffafffall
If EVE is so bad, why the hell are you are complaining about it? Go play WOW or the SIMS or something else. Do you really need to subject everyone to your worthless whining?

Well, who knows, maybe they'll say in a few months.... "guys, we can't keep inactive accounts saved in our database anymore for longer then 3 months. So if you're unsubscribed for 3 straight months, we'll have to terminate the account. I think the active players we'll appreciate the faster db calls this will result into..."
It will come....

Edited by: Leila Cross on 13/10/2008 19:39:00 CCP, I'm sure this has entered your minds somewhere along the line. I'll do you the favor of refreshing your collective memories.
Right now you're pretty much the only game in town. That fact appears to have clouded your customer service responsiveness, and has certainly damaged your client base.
In the not so distant future you will be competing with a game that was pretty damn good in it's day. You can bet your corporate asses they will be doing everything they can to lure, entice, and plain flat out steal customers and revenue from you.
Get your sh*t together kiddies or you're gonna be feeling the economic crunch in a very big way. |

http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=896170
Quote: I have 3 accaunts. Now a want cancel one or two of them. But a dont want loose my chars. So, if you want cancel Ghost Training - cancel transfer fee (20$), at least for month or so.

as a new player i was loving eve - was just about to expand from one account to a triple to keep the game fresh and exciting while main hits the level 5 skills; currently doing mining barge level 5 which be followed by Industrial level 5... ...I thought the current set up was to allow players to be keep interested by short term gains while waiting for the long term gains to come to fruition... ...apparently not.
I have a couple of Questions:
What is inactive? 10 days without connection? 20 days without connection? 60 days without connection? please define this ccp
Will be there a grace period for accounts not upto date in payments? 2 days - a week before skill training stops? or will skill training stop bang on midnight when the account is in deficit?
I would suggest that a much more overdue and needed change is the lag in some systems during the weekend....

Edited by: Ellen Troy on 13/10/2008 19:42:49 Cueball - don't be too harsh on those here (and the many in ingame chats) that support this. They are either young accounts, not too into Eve or don't understand fully the game mechanics and/or the wealth of careers Eve that offers.
My eyes have just opened to exploration, invention, production and training after eons spent in noob mission/ratting/pvp-ing. However with this change it's just not possible to do so unless you are super rich.
CCP - what WERE you thinking? And couldn't you have INCLUDED THIS AS A QUESTION IN YOUR TWO SURVEYS THAT YOU SENT TO US FIRST FOR FEEDBACK?
I vaguely remember the last two questions in the survey...
99. How many Eve accounts do you have?
100. Of these accounts how many are you paying by cash and not GTCs?
