Taking a break from EvE soon, and was wondering what continues and what ceases when sub expires?


  • Skill training
  • Agent Resaarch
  • PI Resource collection / Manufacture
  • Market Buy / Sell orders
  • Ability to access this forum
  • Anything else i might have missed?


Ignore this rant if you must.
I thoroughly enjoyed EvE up until the Inferno patch ruined the UI (it has potnetial, but is far from reaching it at the moment)
In addition to that i have had enough of DT in the middle of my premium playing time (8pm - 10pm AEST)
Would be nice if once a week DT could be shifted a few hours so as i could get involved in some midweek evening action with others.
this could be easily scheduled and planned for/around for everyone.
Anyway, 2 days to go then i'm off for a while (along with my alt)

Cheers!

Pretty sure that agent research will continue with you being AFK. At least it used to. Whole research-alt farming problem. People would create alts and just have them research, cash in a year later. I'm not sure if they ever fixed it.

Not a forum alt.

As far as I am aware almost everything ceases when your subscription ends, though I have heard that your skills continue to train for a couple of days. As for market buy/sell orders I would think that they would stay as they are, can't see any real reason why they should suddenly vanish. PI material collection probably continues until the point where the harvesters would need restarting, and PI production probably continues until one or more of the components is depleted. Your ability to browse the forums remains intact, though your ability to post ceases.

As for downtime, it has always been at the time it is because of the location of the servers and the location of the CCP offices. The offices and EVE both run on GMT, thus downtime takes place during business hours (unsurprisingly) as this is the most effective time to do so. CCP would never move downtime, but they have continually stated that their aim is to reduce the length of time the servers are down to the point at which they no longer need to actually have a downtime at all.

Enjoy your break and we'll see you in a few months.

If you're talking about research points (datacores) then yes it was fixed about two years ago.

I'd strongly suggest not having any anchored assets (i.e. POS) around either, unless a friend with Director rights will maintain it.

I have a relevant question to ask if I may.

What about manufacturing jobs? I'm preparing for a break as well with a few of my accts and was going to have my builder start a few jump freighters cooking.

Be nice if they were built and ready to go when I return.

My Eve break is coming up in about 5 days, got a new Harley Big smile

2002 Wide glide that got submerged during Katrina then rebuilt using 2003 parts, Screaming Eagle jets add about 8hp to the bored out 1600cc (started out as 1450cc) engine and now I get about 40 mpg instead of 50. Take that, stupid environment! Cool

Mr Epeen Cool

that sounds like an awesome idea - technetium prices will certainly increase as more details about Soundwave's "transmutate all the things" plan emerge.

Are you kidding me?
Downtime is like 5-15min these days

When I was a lad we had hour+ long DT every night, followed by 30 min of traffic control lockouts and hotfixes, AND it was snowing

Count yourself lucky they give you just enough time to make a sandwich these days

Unless things have changed manu jobs continue as normal. They will be deliverable. I used to use this to great effect years ago while running POS operations with alt accounts back when they still have the 30 day gtcs but CCP has nerfed a lot of the ghosting over the years.

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Had to end sometime.

But if there is nothing, is it really black, or is there... nothing?

Skill points continue accruing for a short grace period after the subscription expires. I think it's three days.

Research points are probably the same, but I have not tested this.

Market orders will continue to be serviced while stocks last (hurry! offer ends soon!).

"Assembly line" jobs (i.e: manufacturing, research, invention) will continue until they come to their expected end (complete and ready to deliver, or POS runs out of fuel/gets reinforced/blown up/stolen).

This is not legal advice. Do not make plans based on (a) the fidelity of this advice to the actual game mechanics or (b) the fidelity of the game mechanics of tomorrow to the game mechanics of yesterday. Do not use this advice in the control system of a nuclear reactor. Yadda yadda.

PS: if you are logged in when your subscription expires, you will be instantly logged out without warning. Found that one out the hard way. Well, it could have been harder if my ship was tackled at the time: but it was only webbed.
