As your character is your identity in EVE the transfer of such an identity needs to be limited. Identity hopping and alternate character abuse are immersion breakers in any virtual world; this is why CCP has chosen to limit this as much as possible. It is clear that some players wish to donate their characters to their friends so we want to keep this possibility open. The surest way to prevent abuse of this feature is to have credit card records backing the transfer. All abuse/hacking/exploitation of this feature will be treated as credit card fraud.


Yet you allow us to transfer using PLEX? and not just one but two!

I have 3 accounts, all under the same email address and on the same credit card for monthly subscription. yet still you have to charge me? You wont allow us to log into multiple characters on the same account so transferring is the only option when it comes to this situation.

My characters over the years have grown into new roles and I now need to operate 2 characters that are on the same account. I have already deleted a character to transfer and after taking into account the shuffle i want to do its going to cost me $60 or close to 6 months in subscription fees.

Surely there can be a lesser fee for transferring characters on the same identity.

Or here is a way out idea. Make it so each account can have unlimited (10 would be nice) characters and you pay subscription on how many characters you want to use at once. 3 plex for the month allows you to train 3 and login 3 concurrent sessions. ect ect.


Would love to hear some thoughts on this.

My thought is that the thoughts of anybody who isn't CCP are pretty irrelevant, including yours and mine.

Why do you think the thoughts of those who aren't CCP matter somehow?

If shuffling characters around was free, it would be abused 10 ways to Sunday.

Plan ahead better, or pay for the service. It's not that bad.

First, a disclaimer: By calling this post terrible I am not in any way supporting the OP's stupid idea. Now that's out of the way...

This post is terrible. Of course what we think is relevant. Because if we don't think Eve is worth playing, they don't get paid. Simple as that.

You're cute with being so daft. <3 :)

You think you respond to what I said and manage to switch context in the same sentence! :D
Awwwwww I almost want to keep you as a cleaning slave! :)

Your about to start a debate with someone that wont stop posting until you admit you were wrong (or in the very unlikely situation that you manage to prove me wrong) or bashfully stop posting in the hopes I will leave you alone.

You said that what 'people who aren't CCP' think is irrelevant, which is clearly wrong. Regardless of context.

Unlike you, I am aware of the feedback loop that traps the weak minded and I am not mindless enough to get caught in it. If you consider it valid to ignore context, then that's your issue and not mine. There's no need discussing this or anyhing related.

Have fun helping your weak, zombielike ego to feel better. <3 :)

Pretty much this. Its a luxury service that most people never need, outside maybe the character bazaar.

"**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!"**

This would seem, at least on the surface, to be a reasonable request. I wonder why CCP has NEVER done it this way. Obviously, there is a demand. I am willing to bet that there is a really good reason that this is not implemented and live.

One should not seek to know the mind of CCP... to do so is blasphemy.

It requires living on a volcano, the ingestion of large amounts of alcohol, and the consumption of half rotted foodstuffs, to get anywhere close to being in the position of knowing the mind of CCP

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
