Update: Major Key: Bless Up With DJ Khanid

Skill trading is the craze in New Eden and there is money in the sandbox for good character creation and hot names.

I just completed the character transfer of DJ Khanid. In this case, I turned a $0.01 humble bundle starter account into some ISK and plex on the power of dank memes alone.

Buyer explains that they want to turn DJ Khanid into a Ragnarok pilot. Makes me happy to see it's in capable hands. I'm looking toward to hearing more from 'We da best music in Amarr" under a new label. It's a real rags to riches, back to 'rags' story.

Lesson learned: Novelty accounts have greater potential to be sold now that skills can be transferred onto them.

He means be creative when you create your character. A wealthy vet may come along and buy the character off of you, and then turn around and pump the character up with a sh*t ton of SP. Resulting in the Vet have a character with decent SP, and a kick a$$ name

I think he said, rather than play the game, you are better off training characters just to e tract and sell skills.

Seems kind of dumb to me. If you aren't going to play yourself, then save your money and use it for something else all together. After all, real money has more uses than ISK.

He's not just selling a character, he's selling a story about the character and the character. More likely to sell now that someone can just move sp onto a character they like, or that's his line of reasoning I gather.

I think you hit the nail on the head. It's about selling novelty and narrative.

Guy makes character after record producer/snapchat personality DJ Khaled.

Proceeds to advertise the character on Reddit.

Major Key: Bless Up With DJ Khanid.

Finds a buyer for the character. Ultimately tries to demonstrate that novelty accounts have greater potential to be sold now that that skills can be transferred onto them.

Take your pick. Name squatting has more potential now for payout. Dust has been ideal for name holding on free accounts, however that's on its way out.

One more thread of this kind and some old Holder will show interest in Amphere 9. I see it coming.

He's advertising that it's possible to cybersquat on character names, using free trial accounts, even.

Bullshit advice, though; the Character Bazaar is creeping up in prices to catch up with the injectors, but the "per million SP" character prices will always be lower than the injector prices. It's a loss to try to create a high-SP character with injectors, in order to sell it on the Bazaar.

Also, you can look up cases where people tried to sell low-skill 2003 alts, nobody paid any sort of premium price for "2003".

Finally, CCP can rename all unused trial account character names again.

I just saw there is buy offer there for character from 2003, low skill if possible.

While you're unable to trade characters off a trial account it's certainly feasible for someone to squat on a name in Dust, or make 2 novelty characters while they play subbed on the main. There was also the possibly that is a month long starter account bought from humble bundle. It's frowned upon, but players could easily have stocked up on years worth of accounts for $0.01 during that humble bundle sale back in 2014.

I liked the keys in the title. I wonder how many other little icons we can put in titles like that.
