Any word from CCP staffers as to how many accounts have been canceled in the last 2 days?
I know I streamlined my accounts a bit.

Doubt the effect will be immediate as people paying by card wont be effected by this change (as they run the accounts all the time)
so will be a little while before we see the impact of this imo

to be honest I doubt they will lose much money over this anyway or even accounts, they are more likely to lose accounts due tot he fact they increased game time cards and the fact more people are being more careful with there spending

I payed all my accounts by Credit Card, was easy as pie to cancel a few, and even filled in the *why are you canceling* box as to the reason.
So CCP has a good grasp of how many accounts they have lost due to recent changes, and I will bet you the numbers are updated hourly for a select few staff members.

Do you not feel this causes a knock on effect to this ?
people are watching their spending so one month they activate one account and inactive another training a lonnngg skill then reactivate it when they have the spare funds
When 60 day GTCs were first released this caused a big problem for using this method as now you had two months to find short skills to train instead of just one (so effectively your paying for twice as many months) imo this was enough to encourage people to stop using this method so...
without ghost training many people will look at this previously used method (I've used it before) and say well whats the point if im gonna lose out on it? and sell/inactive the account

Simple fact is when I go fight for my country I have no access to the ability to change skill training, the removed feature was a big selling point to justification of multiple accounts.

Understood but more people are paying by ETC then Credit Card is my point so it will be time before they realize how many more inactive accounts are added to the list
people aren't just going to waste game time they have paid for and cancel before the time is up

And exactly how is it easier to change skills on inactive accounts compared to active accounts when you are away?

because he doesn't? did you read?
he can set a long skill in training which means less time is lost while he cant access the game

Step 1: I will be gone for 6 to 8 months
Step 2: Cancel TV, all extra non-critical services which I will not use while away from home (EVE Online)
Step 2: Ensure will and all paperwork up to date, give power of attorney to relative
Step 4: Don't get killed
Step 5: On reactivation enjoy a brand new Level 5 skill

Pro-tip: If you want to enjoy Eve to the fullest and always have a happy day in it (sans getting your untanked t1 hauler filled with all your evely posessions blown up at a camp) then Never Ever read the forums. Eve will feel so much moar dynamic and exciting then.*

Well, I can't play Eve at work, and I don't cancel my account at 9:00am and resubscribe at 6:00pm. That's none of CCP's business. Either you have an active account and play/train skills/whatever or you're not playing/training/whatever and cancel your account, in which case your playing state "freezes" until you resume your gaming. ----

I don't think any one thing is going to make a huge dent in the EVE subscriberbase. However, within the last couple months they have crippled GTCs, many people are angry over the nano changes, and now ghost accounts... Those three things in such a short timespan may not kill eve, but they will hurt a lot. _______________

Yeah, but you can't record the TV when you cancel it and enjoy the new season of "My name is Earl" when you return... Sorry Mordrake, no mean to offend you. I know you're serving your country and hope you return home safe (take care there!), but understand that CCP is a company, and they make their living selling this service, and it's totally understandable that they want people to pay for it if they are getting something out of it. ----

2 words "Re-runs" and "PVR"
But I see the reasoning behind the move CCP has made, I just do not agree with it due to my personal choices in this incarnation.

Cancelling ghost training would reduce the number of active accounts for such a person by exactly nil. It would have no effect at all. ________________________________________________
