EVE Information Portal

The market in EVE Online is a giant thing. The majority of transactions that happen are between players, with goods and assets supplied or created by players for players. The nature of the single-shard server then enhances the market so that every single player is using the same one. Mistakes can happen; you either sell something way too cheaply or you accidentally set the price way too high. But this means that the opportunity for market game play is a very real thing in EVE.

This Featured Fansite deals with exactly that game play. http://marketsforisk.blogspot.co.uk/ is a blog that very recently achieved Fansite status, but has been going since May 2013. Armed with only a few hours of playing time a week, Croda set about to play the economy to gather ISK. And he did. At the time of writing this Featured Fansite post his current wealth is listed a 83.9 bn ISK and the blog has the entire history of that wealth documented for you to read. In the ‘about’ section of his blog, Croda has a link to the first post of the blog. Anyone that would like to get their hands a little dirty in the market game of EVE Online should read through what has been written. It is a fun experience once the ball gets rolling.

There are also entries on trading scams that have been encountered, other blogs that deal with the business side of EVE Online and even CCP Games, a page dedicated to several useful video tutorials that touch on the subject matter, as well as a plethora of other valuable information that aspiring traders would do well to know.

There are many more Fansites that might hold exactly what you need to assist you in EVE Online or list the information you never knew you were missing. Take a look; it is almost guaranteed you will find something to your liking. Alternatively, check out the last Fansite that was featured in this thread. The featured Fansite is picked at random every two weeks to showcase the important, community driven work these content creators bring to EVE Online.

I wish CCP would provide more guidance to players early on about a potential career in trading

83,9bn?...hmm... then im not so poor as i thought..

Aaaaah! I was wondering why a certain blueprint I was selling in Dodixie collapsed from ~3mil per unit to less than 1mil, thanks to the half-dozen buffoons piling on it. Well, mystery solved.


You had ~100bil at the end of your first year from only playing ~1 hour a day and often taking sizeable breaks (business trips)? Would you mind writing a blog so we might know how you accomplished usch a feat?

And insight, and hard work...
