Hey all, I’ll get right down to it, I’ve got 12 accounts, 1 is active. Now atm I don’t have time at all to play EVE. Now this is only a suggestion, I don’t mind PAYING (pls note CCP) to activate all my accounts so that I can put in a very long skill training queue in all of them and then deactivating them again with the hope of them training skills deactivated!!!!!!

My reason for doing this is I want to play in the future with those accounts and it would be very cool if they were trained up to some extend.

Pls consider this (it would be nice bursts of cash for u CCP, if this would be allowed something to think about buinessesly speaking ofc)

From what I can tell and have heard, they do continue training even when the account is disabled/unsubbed, however it's done at a greatly reduced rate, Though I don't have the numbers on exactly how much slower skills progress on a deactivated account.

You can already do this... 1 PLEX per month per account. If your intent was that it would be cheaper than having active accounts, well, you'd have to show how that's profitable for CCP. I'm sure very many people would jump on the opportunity to level their Raven without having to pay so much.

No, SP's accumulate for a few days after the account is shut off during a small grace period in case a player legitimately forgot to renew. After the grace period, there is Zero SP gain.

This. When my last debit card expired I wasn't able to renew for a couple days and my queue kept going. However, once you get past the grace period (the length of which I don't know, but I'd assume about a week) your skills stop. If you could keep training without paying, I imagine CCP would lose a ton of money while people set up three months of skills then go on vacation/hiatus/golfing/whatever normal people do for fun.

So your saying you want a free to play game. There are lots of free to play games out there. We don't want eve being one of those.

Seriously, why should i have to sub to fly my internet space ship, if i don't need to pay to train for it?

I'm sure they had plenty of time to think about it during the five years when this was a thing.

CCP used to have this, they axxed it when they they originally put in the original skillque.

I think theres a 4 days skilling grace period nowadays...

If the other accounts are not aciive...they they really aren't needed it seems. Not saying this as a bitter. I have like 2-3 accounts on ice atm. And limited game time. Hence the reason I run just the 1. 1 picked the most useful to me. Its even paid for most times with rl money. I can think of worse habits i have had that run up way more than 15 a month.

this is how eve used to work and they took it away from us claiming it was a bug even though it had always been used as one of the cool things about the game that your character could still get better even if you weren't subbed

You are willing to pay CCP for one month to gain up to 10 years of training on your accounts. This seems to be all win for you and you alone.

100% this. You pay CCP for the right to use their services, and this includes training skills.

The fact that people abuse a bug for a long time does not make it any less of a bug.
