I would probably plex my accounts and a bunch of alts as well.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Never forget.

For that price, you could buy a Revenant instead.

For that price, you could "buy" a nullsec system for several years.

What good are a Revenant or null sec system though?

About as useful as a gvex... rev price is falling and keeping a null sec system for years is not guaranteed.

I still dont understand why anyone want to buy NS system while he gets same thing for free while joining any sov space (read CFC) alliance.

I'd buy a 2003 character with 180+ mil SP.

Seriously, ain't nobody got time for all that training. Impossible if you only started in this game after 2006. This method is the only way to level the playing field against the old, bitter vets.

Fairly interesting thread so far.

I can't think of anything unique or interesting i'd do with the money.

Haha, did that too! I've gone through a few 100b isk bills over the years Cool

edit: probably the reason I'm always coming back for another bond every year or so...always running out of isk, lol.

If you had said a few trillion I would buy out the PLEX market and the CCP PLEX reserve then post them all for 2-3x the price then watch as the world burns.

I think you could count that as winning eve.

That's if CCP ddin't step in and just start printing PLEX's or just ban your account and take them all back. But I don't think they would do the latter considering its just market manipulation unless they trumped you up on some b*** s*** like griefing or something along those lines.

However they could just say no we are reversing all of those transactions and probably at least a warning or a temporary ban and maybe if they have a mechanism in place they would put a limit on how many PLEX's you could buy on all the accounts that connect via your IP.

When I want to quit eve and if I have enough liquid isk that what I want to do.

When I did not have a 100b, my goal was to get 100b and then hire some mercs to wardec some corps I did not like.

When I got to 100b, I did not dislike the corps so much, as I realized that they were just having fun when they shot me down, nothing personal.

Thus I gave most of it to charity during the last PLEX for good drive, and will do so again.

Any colour you like.

I don't see the problem CCP would have if you drove PLEX prices through the roof -- that gives people more incentive to give CCP money for PLEX, since they can sell it for more ISK in-game. That would actually be a good thing for CCP, not so good for EVE (though even that's arguable).

When i had 1 B i wanted to be able to fly a wyvern as that would be SO awsome .When i had the isk for the wyvern i wanted to have more so i could instantly get a new one when it would die.When i had that i thought **** that i'm going for a titan and when i had enough for 1 i did the same as with the wyvern cashing and grew till i could buy two.


When i could buy multiple titans i realised i was having fun in a harpy ... Blink



As in reall life cash means everything and then again it means absolutely nothing .

Love the ideas.

I've re-invested most of it, but I'm looking for some really good ideas here guys!

same story, except I've never flown a Wyvern, nor a Titan. The most expensive ship hull i've used cost 200 million, and I spent all my time making ISK cuz I thought that was fun lol

Now I've got a level 5 titan pilot sitting in the oven, been training him for 4 years, and no corp history. And I'm kind of bored of Eve, with a busy work schedule.

Maybe I will use him some day when I start playing again =P

First stage of this happened once awhile back. PLEX were, without any apparent CCP intervention at all, back to their original price within a few days. Wouldn't be any different here - you'd wind up with a few trillion worth of overpriced PLEX.
