No offense, but 30+ pages of thread is a bit much to go through for some information that might not even be in there.
So, if possible, please have somebody who knows answer it here -OR- at least have CCP Fallout edit his OP with details.
The question is quite simple : HOW EXACTLY is the cessation of skilltraining going to be introduced ?
In other words, if I have an inactive account now with a 40-day skill started hours before account lapsed, a skill that will still have 7 days to go on the DT of October 15th - when I activate the account, do I still have 40 days to go, or just 7 days to go ?
Also, for accounts that lapse past that date - does the skill just get cancelled and whatever SP I have gathered up to this point remain, or does the skill get cancelled and all SP gained is lost ?

I don't care if they lock it as long as Fallout edits his OP with additional details.
Thread is 33+ pages now (in a matter of minutes from 30 pages), you can't seriously expect people to sift through all that for dev replies just to get some pretty important info.

Well, let's just say plenty of people (ab)used this "feature", and they'd like to know.
IF it's indeed a cutoff (i.e. lose all you gained so far if inactive), then GTC sellers should be happy - these two days will be an EXPLOSION of prices upwards.
If it's just a "cancel training and keep whatever you have up till then", there will still be a surge in prices, but not quite as dramatic.
Either way, GTC sellers rejoice 
...and people I know that use this method, time to panic

 Originally by: Treelox
Believe it or not, my account has always been active. I have never "ghost trained".
I have, however used the concept of "ghost training" to convince a lot of RL friends who are busy professionals with families into playing eve because the feel that they dont get punished for having a RL with eve, because of "features" like "Ghost Skilling".
Almost the same here. My main has always been active (or, believe it or not, inactive with no skill in training), BUT I have abused the feature on occasion for my alt.
And again, same here, have used this "feature" as a MAJOR "selling point" to people I know that were reluctant to play an online game of massive proportions in the first place.
Suffice to say, I have several people who are kind of angry/panicky now and cry for answers, and I believe I'm not the only person in this situation.

So you announce a HUGE thing like this 2 days in advance AND don't even have a devblog NOR do you give precise details on how it's going to be done ?
I think this spells "PR fudged it"
P.S. Yeah, devblog will probably come up on the 16th

Whoa, chill. If you want to whine about how unfair this change is, add it to the (now 41+ pages long) thread over in EIP.
This is just a thread asking for a simple clarification on how exactly this change will be implemented.
As soon as answer is given, PREFERABLY as either an edit of the OP in EIP *or* that devblog, and PREFERABLY before the 15th, feel free to lock the thread.

The logical answer is 7 days
Seems logical to me too, BUT it wouldn't be the first time the actual/official answer was not necessarily the logical one.
