Bingo!


But you can transfer characters.

As an example of what might be possible if CCP provides the means to do so:

  1. You die.
  2. In your will, you point out that you have characters in EVE Online
  3. Your executor gains the privilege of handling dispersal of your in-game assets (i.e.: CCP allows an exception for account sharing to be allowed where a power of attorney or an executor of a will is concerned)
  4. Executor sells the character through Character Bazaar
  5. Executor (following instructions in the will) disburses the raised ISK to in-game charity support of your choice, such as Vaerah's PLEX-for-good charity or Sindel Pelion's Angel Project
  6. Executor then cancels the account


Close. In my will I have stated to my executor who the person I want to take over my characters is, and for them to make a new fresh account, and after (or before, I forget) all the toons are transferred to it, and 1 year to be paid into it, so they can use them while I'm dead in a perfectly legal CCP way.

I want my toons to kill stuff after I'm dead dammit.

I apparently have no idea what I'm doing.

I'm sure that CCP will site some rule about "sharing client info" if you leave your toon to your grandkids, because why pass up an a perfectly opportunity to make someone start over from scratch and have to pay up all that money all over again just to add a little bit of player satisfaction to the game?

It took me all of reading the first 7-8 posts in this thread to wonder what life must be like to moderate these forums.... I'm thinking there's a high suicide rate there.

Hmmm... wonder if they have insurance... Big smile

New contract type: will.

Upon character biomass, the will takes effect.

BUT WHY STOP THERE?!

Every EVE player is issued a heartbeat monitor that is linked to the EVE API.

This is painfully inserted by CCP Surgeon inside the player.

Upon dying the character is automatically biomassed.

The blood-curdling scream is recorded and played back to everyone receiving something in the Will upon accepting the contract.

Because when a player dies, do we not all die a little inside?


Only if it could be inserted via anal probe. It would only be fitting.

There should be one exception to the restriction against account sharing. And that should be in cases regarding the RL death or "permanent loss of ability" (for example: all that self enjoyment actually causing blindness like they warned us when we were teenagers) .


But how to enforce it? I don't think the laws regarding power of attorney and a video game account would be in agreement. Power of Attorney as it exists in most countries and the EULA of a game don't appear to mesh. Would CCP have the power or the "rights" to demand that the executor of the will or handler of the estate prove that the original account owner is deceased by furnishing a copy of the death certificate? There's a lot of laws regarding creditors and "taxing authorities" doing that in financial matters and obligations, but a video game publisher? I just don't know.

Whatever happens, everything would have to be based in the EULA.

This is exactly what I need. Where can I sign?

Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction...
