The Timing of the statement could have been better, especialy with most of the icelandic bank accounts being frozen, and there could have been a bit of spin put on it.
I'm sure the user community wouldnt have reacted as badly if the press release stated that accounts will train at full rate for the first 2 weeks of inactivity after which there will be a reduction of 50% on SP training value, followed by another drop to 25% after a further 4 weeks, finally after 3 months training stops altogther.
I also agree with some of the posters saying that RP accumulation should also be suspended on inactive accounts, though market transactions expire after 90 days anyway, so thats a moot point.
Sometimes there are genuine reasons why people leave accounts training in an inactive mode, such as being sent to work abroad for 3-6 months, and so dont have access to an internet connection (aid workers in africa) not to mention members of the services who often get posted to combat zones for 6 months and dont have the time to play, as well as many other reasons.
Personally this doesnt affect me as i only run two accounts, though i do know people that would be affect and it will hurt them as they are students and play using GTC's when they have the cash to spare, and dont get left behind.
All those saying 'im cancelling all my accounts' fantastic news as it should help with the lag issues we've seen  .
Just contract all your stuff to EVE Uni or trash it. |

As for the avalanche on the database, that is what archives are for, I can't believe that you have every single item from accounts dead for years cramming up the DBs.
Totally agree on that point, after 2/3 years on an inactive account the toon should be sent to the biomass reprocessing plant.
If people think its too harsh, send an e-mail to the player on their registered e-mail account stating that if the account isnt reactivated in x months the toon will be sent into the biomass pot for recycling.
Think of the space in the DB that could be freed up if 2-3k toons a year are disposed of.

Dont want to derail the thread, but its Tin foil time : new content announced today
http://www.eve-online.com/pressreleases/default.asp?pressReleaseID=48
Skill training tree would be helpful, especially for those awkward skills that take odd hours xd12h or xd8h and always seem to finish when your at work or fast asleep or going away for a weekend.
PS : not cancelling the 2 accounts i run just yet, but we'll see what happens in the future. |

Then it becomes a cult hit, not a public discussion ;p
Either way your damed, CCP accused of a coverup, Players accused of Tin foil hattery.
If you want the player base to know about it post it in local, if you want to play the tin foil card ignore it, and accuse CCP of a cover up.
The only way to open it up is to tell people it exists, the only way to do that is post the thread in local as all other threads appear to get locked within a couple of pages. |

Maybe everyone should read this topic http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=898306
Just a thought : To all those that are threating to quit or have done so already why not make it permenant and Biomas those toons on the cancelled subscriptions to really show CCP how serious you are.
