Hi,

I've just subbed this account. It's an old account I had a trial on and have just upgraded.

I had a character name before this but instead it is now named (see avatar).

Any ideas?

They did a name purge of really old trial accounts recently.

One of ours, ten of theirs.

Oh, have we given it a name yet! I vote for "Trialocaust".

Ha ha

On a more serious note: file a petition asking for a name change.

No no, the names were from people who couldn't make up their minds on playing..

I vote "Waffleocolypse".

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I think you missed the "six million" reference in my suggested name. I'm not proud of it, but it's after 0200 in GD, so it was the best I could do.

caldari citizen does not mean u only can fly caldari ships u can fly any ship u want. Also the name is hard to pendraise if u are in a SB ship so i say keep the name regardless of the stats just make sure ur trial is effective and no contracts are outstnding from old toon.

Thanks for the reminder... Had to re-create / reclaim the name of the very first character I made in EVE.

was a vestigial login forever... basically got to move it onto a paid account for free.

This kinda makes me want to make 10 alts named "Caldari Citizen 34242848XX234" with the Xs being random numbers. And multibox them. Call me primary. I dare you.
