You played for 3 months and you thought you were rich? How horrible would that be for all the players that have been playing for years, some over a decade...

I hoenstly find unless your really good at playing the market the easiest way to make isk is char selling. It requires a longer term investment but if you make the right type of chars they can go for a Bil isk per mil sp which is a pretty good return for the cost of skillbooks.

Especially with the changes to the skillque where they take near no input and if you have the Money to spend a few RL dollars on the beginner packs. You can get the skill boosters and then buddy invite yourself and you get the game time back on your main.


**** exhumer toons and basic starter PVp toons and things can be worth like 3 bil in a 60 day timespan so you essentially double your money

High risk in that - I can name someone that made over a trillion on training characters for resale, but that lost more than I've ever owned when game mechanic changes obliterated the value of around 100 characters he had in training.

Think they lost 0.4T out of the washup of the Phoebe changes.

They wound up ahead overall, but the ~0.7T they made over their entire time training and trading characters was not a great return for the amount of ISK they had tied up in it.

I just passed the trillion mark, but only on paper (asset value). Too bad I don't really care anymore lol. They're just internet pixels, and the only satisfaction I get is knowing 1 trillion is higher than 1 billion, so it's better to have it than not.

The stuff would take months to liquidate, so it may or may not be a trillion. But I'm probably just gonna keep investing to see how high it can get. I've also been playing for a long time (almost 6 years)

However, I started out with almost 100 billion of initial capital - I used real money to buy GTC's from Markee Dragon. Didn't see any other way to get the initial capital quickly.

I don't think I'm the only "space billionaire" who used real money to start. If you think about it, there is a lot of hardcore players in this game (even more so a few years ago). As you can see from the meta-gaming, and people flying across the world to attend the fanfest.

It's not that different from paying lots of subs on credit card and using the combined power of all those accounts to get rich, which is pretty much how I progressed from poor newbie to "rich" newbie back in 2005-2006.

Yep, the same could be said about training characters to sell for profit. Not sure what I'm gonna do with my ISK when I leave the game for good. Maybe I'll donate all of it in one of those "PLEX for good" drives.

Just a suggestion to what you can do with ISK, that you don't want anymore, and want to be given to PLEX for Good.

§ Current Bond AE09 1 Trillion / Acc. 4,5t ISK
