Button ingame that takes you back to the character screen, instead of having to logout and then back in again?

Because.

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Because at the time I don't think the client was built with that in mind. A lot of older MMO's have the very same feature.

Because that would make too much goddamn sense and we can't have that.

Guess you can't properly end a session without logging the account out and security protocol does not allow automatic logging in.

This is a new and exciting gripe. Lets see how many copycat threads it spawns as this is surely a hot topic.

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

In b4 moved to features and ideas. Almost 30 minutes after the original post. Must be lunchtime in ISD space.

Coincidence on the part of the OP? I think not!

I'm a bit confused by the reaction this idea is getting, I gather this has been brought up before? If that's so, why hasn't CCP fixed it yet?

I believe the option existed when Eve was new, it proved problematic, so was removed.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

i'm no programmer but wouldn't that require someone to crosspatch the console virtualisation mainframe to the binary matrix server? that sounds hard.

Because if your alts don't have a seperate account each, you don't matter, and if they do, you don't need this button.

My guess would be because there are far more important things that need fixing first.

Because making a HD virtualization of a single room and realistic avatars is not as difficult as the problematic and game altering coding that would go into a "Log Out to Character Screen" option. CCP are good but not gods.

Because of SOON(TM).

I think they mentioned the launcher would be the place to have that. But POSes need to come first Pirate.

It did indeed use to be a feature. But there were "issues" and it was removed.

It is kind of saver when one has to retype the password.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.
