A question, when a skill is training when your subscription runs out, does it continue training (it used to many many years ago)?
If yes, do queued skills also finish training when subscription runs out?

If yes to both questions, that is THE reason that skill queue is not longer than 24 hours...



No, it stops with the end of your subscription. That was fixed in 2009 I think.


Yes, something like 3 days after your subscription ends.

Back in 2008'ish, I used 4 non-consecutive months of not being subscribed to train Caldari Cruiser, Caldari Battleship, Battlecruisers and AWU from level 4 to 5. That was quite nice. If given the choice, though, I'd much rather have a 24 hour skill queue, than to get back the possibility of what we used to call "dark training". Having to juggle your skill queue, so that your one allowed skill level didn't finish training in the middle of the night was not fun.

The people who just login to train and then logoff are going to do that regardless of the queue length. Having it be 24 hours isn't magically making anyone play who doesn't want to.


Having the training queue longer than 8 hours is making life easier for people who don't want to be forced to log in to change skills. A 24 hours long training queue is pure bliss!

I barely play.

So what's the point?


You pretty much pwned your own thread.



Pretty much this. If finances are tight, why are you paying for a game you don't want to play?

If your dying for an "explanation", how about if you que up too much data your head will 'splode?

I would like to see a reasonable explanation from anyone why the limit is 24 hours as opposed to say 48, 72, etc.

There was a reasonable explanation when this thing came out years ago. It's old, old stuff... (No I'm not telling you)...
