General Discussion

CCP has announced that after Wednesday October 15th, Ghost Training, the skill gain on inactive or expired EVE accounts, will be disabled.

A long overdue and much needed change will be put in place with the Wednesday, 15 October 2008 patch. Ghost Training, the continuous skill gain on accounts in an inactive or expired state - will no longer function after Wednesday, 15 October 2008. This practice upsets the balance of the game, and capsuleers who actively put their time and energy into working on their characters will no longer be unfairly affected by those few who have not.

This definitely made the decision on weather or not I wanted to start playing again.

What happened to you CCP? (Aside from living in Iceland, can I buy you?)

"Ghost training" will be stopped at downtime if the account has been unsubscribed for 3 days or more, it is not an immediate stop[...]

this is wrong... one or maybe even the biggest mistake of ccp... the community is like rabblerabble the forums... i just hope for ccp they will not do it otherwise they will lose a lot of subscriptions ... including they pissed off their customers

That's how community works. The "community" has stopped a lot of good things from happening. I hope ccp just ignores them.

nah they should listen do the community thats their job they do provide something to them theyre the customers and customers are the kings... so they should listen! *my opinion*

Or, like Sheriff Jones eloquently put it:

I don't not get why people think this is a bad idea.  If your account is not active, you don't get to train.  PERIOD.

This sucks. This really sucks.

See thread here: http://myeve.eve-online.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=896318 (CCP have hidden it from the thread listings)

I regularly take a break from EVE because RL takes priority.

Now I will not be re-subing for a looonngg time. Not even to try out ambulation.

I can not adequatly express my annoyance without breaking the forum rules.

There's a significant difference between "listening to the community" and "listening to the community'
