That's one of them.

The question is...will they fix it?

I don't think we can just have CCP verify our corp history at the drop of a hat.

Shouldn't your corp history be readily available?

Explaining your age and supplying screen grabs to a potential CEO gets old.

CCP Falcon has reported the accuracy of the characters age, however the only thing that would ever show in the character profile is the 2013 date - and a 2013 character is all that any other player would see thus making her pretty worthless in boasting rights.Character Sold

Case in POINT

Check Brad's BIO

I think it's worth fixing. Just add a born on date...

Okay corp history is just that "corp history" and not "pilot age history". If you weren't in a corporation why would it show you were?

CCP could add a "Born _____" on the character sheet but this isn't something that is "broken"

I strongly disagree. Evil

My birthday doesn't show up correctly except in my Character Sheet, EveMon and eveboard.

Maybe a certificate or something?

Fact: It should be easy to tell how old "ANY" character is.

You disagree with what?

I'm not saying the birthday shouldn't be listed in the bio somewhere. . I was just saying characters birthday isn't listed in the employment history. It's "employment history" so it only shows when a character is employed.

Edit: I'm actually jealous of those lucky enough to have a blank employment history.

And the genius in you never thought of this fact:

It might not be the first character with that name...


Now go figure out the rest yourself.

It's my understanding that once a name is taken by a character it's permanently taken. Even deleting the character doesn't remove the history.

You can delete a char and reuse its name just fine and the new char will show the new creation date and history. Only databases like killboards, forums etc will give the older info when you search for it.

Yes, yes I am. Thanks for noticing.

So what happens to the old character history like if you search people in game? When you delete a character it goes to "Doomheim 666" corp

CCP could easily add a 'Clone Created' or 'Licensed' date under the characters name in the characters info box.

Then everyone could see a characters true age regardless of what their employment history shows.

That's a good idea. I'm not sure how much coding that would involve so if it's a lot CCP might not consider it important for a few pre noob corp pilots.

Yes! This is of prime importance! It should be handled right after the ebola outbreak! PRONTO!

It stretches it's history.

It keeps the history on the char itself aye , i was born as flakes but biomassed myself.Then reborn as flakeys.Now my corp history shows my true age even though the name change but battleclinic/zkillboard will keep the kills on the names seperatly.

Your name however when biomassed can be taken , it is the reason i am called flakeys not flakes .

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.
