If you were to pay the $14.95 every month for 10 years (not QUITE there yet) to eve online it will cost you $1794.

Now if you were to invest $14.95 a month into a bank account or stock that earns an annual 7% (see index funds) You would have $2586.35.

Not sure what my point is, that's pretty cheap for 10 years of entertainment..

To be fair I only got rich last year
Before that all my time was spent earning the next PLEX, occasionally risking a cyclone in PvP ;)

Ahh EVE players and math. Please tell me where you can get 7% net, for the past 10 years, after taking in to account management fees, other fees, market crashes, etc...

It just so happens that i ran into a lot of money, and i'm giving it away, just send me any amount and i'll send you twice the amount back.

Yeah tell me you bought it at $180 per share and kept it all the way down to $90, to ride it all the way back up. Unless you're a bank I don't believe you.

OP seems to think EVE is a job or a revenue generating thing. It is not.

Its entertainment.

The real comparison would be how much you pay versus other forms of entertainment (movies, cable etc). Then one realizes the bargain this is.

I ran AWAY from a lot of money once.

Although to be fair it was being carried by large gentlemen with shotguns and wearing balaclavas on their heads. Shocked
My missus thinks of EvE as 'the other woman'. :)

You don't believe me?
Did I say somewhere I'd actually bought shares? If I had I'd be a freaking millionaire drinking Dom P out of a jacuzzi

You wanted an example, it took me about 5 seconds to think of one.

Here I was thinking the guy with the Terry Pratchett reference might not be a complete tool, but alas the EVE forums prove me wrong once again

Also the price 10 years ago was $8 not $180, it's worth $606 today

You get bank accounts that don't cost anything ? That's nice.

Also ... 7 % ?? That's huge. Where'd you get that ?
