Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I propose an addition to the "Character Information" page, simply a "Date of Birth," which is currently only visible to the players themselves via their "Character Sheet."

I believe this would be a useful improvement to the current UI since:

1. Currently most players rely on checking employment history both in and out of game to judge the age or maybe skill of a character, which can be a long scroll/drag down on some nomadic people.

2. Older characters who were created before NPC corps exsited did not start their employment until joining a corp. Some didn't do this for a very long time thus their "Employment History" is not a reliable way of judging a character in or out of the game. This can cause issues where devs need to step in (http://themittani.com/news/strange-sale-boo-berry) and annoyances for those with gimped histories themselves (https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3310238#post3310238) but it would be nice for all 2003 characters to proudly show how early they actually started playing.

3. Possibility this could be a way to reduce some load or just clean up the employment tab if say "Employment History" is shortened and given a "View Older History" button in game if you wanted to check the entire history of a player, the exact same as currently used in eve gate. Having the date of birth above on the same page, thus reducing time and clicks in most situations while showing accurate start dates for all characters in the game.


Cheers.
