EVE Online warns of old NPC mission progress cleanup

EVE Online warns of old NPC mission progress cleanup

EVE Online is changing how NPC agent data is stored for its Python 3 migration. Old mission progress and untouched research jobs may be cleared later, while standings and unlocked agents will remain intact.

• Mission progress updated by requesting, completing, or failing an agent mission from 29 September 2026 onward is carried into the new data system automatically.

• Players with pre-29 September offered or accepted missions should complete them with that agent, or the saved progress may be cleared in the future.

• To retain an older Research agent job, complete at least one mission for each affected agent after 29 September; this is required once per agent per character.

• NPC standings and unlocked agents will remain available, including for players who do not log in or are not Omega.

• The announcement has not set a date for the cleanup and says this phase of the migration will take months rather than days.
