The old avatars was awesome in their own way. It's a shame if they were lost.



Somehow this is the most perfect avatar for the character name.

If I had the space I'd run a script to grab all this stuff - as it is, I unfortunately don't :(

how do i find my character id ?

Also, someone post the person that was all eyes and no face.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Never forget.

Look up the URL of your forum avatar. In Chrome, right-click -> Copy image URL. In other browsers there should be something similar (I assume).

Yours is: https://image.eveonline.com/Character/837957368_128.jpg

The 837957368 is your character ID. Therefore your old portrait is: http://oldportraits.eveonline.com/Character/837957368_256.jpg

We're figuring out what happened to this old server and hopefully we can resurrect it for some limited period of time. But please note that the character creator part of Incursions was deployed on 18 Jan 2011, there are now 2 years and 9 months since this service entered deprecation when the current Image Server was deployed. Stay tuned for more news.

I for one feel the old ones are a part of history and are very sad to see this being shut down. Would be happy to try keep running it myself if it is possible to get a complete dump of all old characters.

The portraits holds a lot of memory of the old characters and do serve a purpose to all players that have been in since before Incarna.

(Also keeping it live for a week wasn't long time at all... especially not if there's some sort of attempt to "save" as many avatars as possible.)

Maybe, but the move to CARBON wasn't a bad situation.

Taking a look at my old portrait, I still wonder what I was smoking at the time when I created that face.

Compare it to the Emo Mom look of today, and I'll take the CARBON portrait any day.

Is there some sort of possibility of a dump of all the images being made?

If not, i'm sure you'll begin seeing a lot of hits on the server as people try and scrape every single image, in a last ditch attempt at keeping it alive P

Please please PLEASE give the archive to Chribba!
This needs to be kept alive, and we totally understand that you feel it is time to let it die, but Chribba can keep it going for us for years to come!

I've been considering it :D
But I think it would be easier for them and us if they just gave an archived copy to Chribba.

Seconded! I understand that CCP can't pay the upkeep costs forever, but that's a part of EVE history. It's like when the NASA re-used the moon landing tapes to record new data and so destroyed all the raw records from the Apolo XI mission; maybe then that made economical sense, but they'll be righteously called a-holes for all eternity.

+10 for Chribba!! He has offered a possibility and that would be such a great service to this community. I for one support this idea!

+2 supported. Chribba once again proving that he is, in fact, EVE Buddha.

Seriously. Give it to the C-man. He's offered, and we all know if there's anyone in this game who's good on his word, it's Chribba.
