CCP (Your EULA says CCP)

Your returning player experience is absolute dog shart…

Non-existent. Why is it you think its OK to bombard ex-players with email offers etc every new launch but do absolutely nout to help them play again. Yea great you have a load of new content..
Brilliant. But i am stuck in a Super-capital in a keepstar in ass end of no where with no one i know or trust to help me. You can’t just leave a clone there and go try new content see if i make new friends cus well i can’t clone back then. You can’t undock… Your old assets you worked your ass off for or paid money for.. well guess what you gotta pay to have them back

Hell there is not even a chat channel for players who have not logged in for say a year to get talking with each other and meet new people.

Everything is like. Well you played before so you know the deal… Like hell i am reading 20 pages of patch notes and a book of political history just to know the current situation. Or trust some randoms.

Yea ok there are ways around it. But c’mon You should be making it damn easy for people to come back, find new friends and try new stuff. Not this nonsense.

Its a totally illogical set of walls that stop players who have not played in month or years from wanting to come back. You log in and go yea, hmmm i could… nope, how about, nope… oh that sounds cool, wait no can’t. hmm roll a new character.. oh but then i can’t do that anyway… ah well back to other games.. GTA 6 is out next week.

I dunno. Maybe do the bare minimum and like dump all players who have not logged in for say 1 year into a chat channel. And after say like 6 months of not being logged in you get a special jump clone added at the station you are in or the first one you dock in after logging on. a 1 time return to clone that can’t be removed or blocked or anything. So you can go off start playing again but return to your old stuff once you get settled again maybe make new friends who can come help you.. AND more importantly know what your are doing again. hell as some will use it as a cheat. make that clone unable to use highslots. or something. there are like 1000 ways of doing something to help vets yet none are done.

This would encourage players to put alts in opposition structures and unsubscribe for 6 months and they’ll always be able to jump back to the structure.

Just use a Hangar Cleaner service and get rid of your assets you can’t use.

oh dear lord. a few losers will take extreame action not in the spirit of the feature… So we shouldn’t do it cus why help the literally thousands of old vets who don’t want nonsense services or to scrap their ■■■■. but just want to come try new features…

This is the crap logic that is keeping players away.

Be a phoenix dude. Rebuild your character and start anew, somewhere else. I fully don’t understand why there needs to be a way to get back into old structures.

I’m just pointing out that it wouldn’t bring back players. It would allow spy alts to put characters that they bought from character sales. They’d eases their way into an opposition’s structures and they’d never sub that account again. It feels like it would make the character a dead-head that would endlessly be allowed back to a structure every 6 months if they don’t log in.

Seriously dude. I’m not trying to knock it but there are people that play espionage as a playstyle. Hell, I’m not sure how INIT’s access list are setup but I’m not allowed to dock at their structures - even when I was a member in their alliance. All because I took a donations from a former CEO/incursion community leader that got (stole) isk from a SRP fund. To me, 20 Bil is a CCPRound()'ing error compared to trillions he stole but that was enough for INIT to never trust me.

Funny part is… the donation was from someone that was in Pandemic Horde and PH freakin joined/merged into INIT after I left/was pushed out.
