Hi,

I played Eve Online when I was a student in 2007-2008. And I stopped playing and paying it. I wonder what will happen with my character, my ships, my skills when you reactivate your account five years later. Will I be able to retrieve them, or do I lost my ships? my skills? etc.

Thank you

If it's a trial account anything will be gone. In any other case it's as you left it. Some fittings might look a bit funny and if you logged in space, you will have been moved into a station.

If you take all the sand out of the box, only the cat poo will remain.

Also, if you trained learning skills back in the day, they'll have been reimbursed to you. Don't spend them all in one place. :)

If you logout in space (even in a capital) and unsub for 6 months or more, you get moved to your home station (where your medical clone is set).

As for skills, you will find you have many skill points refunded for skills that were removed, which you can use to train the new skills.

No. CCP has stated that they reserve the right to delete trial account stuff after 6 months, but as far as I know they never actually have.

This.

Coming back I wish I had done a better job of allocating those skill points I got back.

Thanks all for your reply.

I decided to reactivate my account, I played for some months (paid account) around 2007-2008.

To my regret, everything was gone except my skills.

Pretty sure that's not supposed to happen. If you're certain you're missing stuff, petition.

Check the assets tab, but make sure it is set to show the entire universe. IIRC it's region-wide by default.

Skills are the main thing, however.

When you played before, was it in empire space, wormholes, sovereign nullsec or non-sov null? In the last three cases your stuff may be gone or unreachable.
