My big question is can I manage a corps investments and charge real world money for the labor? It's gotten to the point where my services are more efficient then buying isk even from isk sellers if I charge like $50 a week. Does anyone know if selling services in game for real world money violates the tos?

Selling in-game services for real-world money is not allowed.

Not a forum alt.

Anytime real-life currency comes into the equation, its real money trading (RMT), and against the EULA.

That's my opinion of course. If you decide to go-ahead, file a petition first and ask a GM, though I expect you will receive the same answer.

Also keep the petition response on file in-game and out-of-game in case you get banned. You may need it for a defense.

It is also a huge PITA to get banned, even when you are later cleared. I speak from experience.

Pain In The A... buttocks.

Expect it to take a few weeks for an investigation should you appeal a ban.

Thanks for your time then. I guess I'll just keep stacking in game money for the time being. Maybe I can topple a major alliance with merc corps or something then sell t-shirts later on.

Or you can visit the Market Discussion Forum, and see how others start investments before considering your own.

I currently have 20 billion invested in me, though I'm a manufacturer not a trader, and I've developed a positive reputation over the years.

Well yesterday I made 160 mill, today so far I've made 480 mill. I'm hoping to hit the 750 mill today because then my personal finances will be at 2 b.

Making hundreds of millions a day is a good start.

I'm hoping that my speculative purchases will make me 15 to 20 billion out of the Crius release.

You should post about this in C&P so that I can make a post endorsing your services! *glares at the NPQ&A label at the top of the forum*
