I would have to say the first thing I'd do would grab a plex to put off the next eve sub payment. After that I would use the money to invest in the corp enough to get us on the road to profitability and the initial funding of the programs we want to implement for our members. I'd encourage them to come up with interesting ideas to make more isk and be able to help fund the idea as a mini in-corp ipo.

My division in the corp deals mostly with industry and trade so any new recruits would have a small safety net which may help them to be willing to take on a bit more risk when dabbling into trade. Rather than being extra timid about losing isk and missing out on good deals I could encourage them to be a bit more bold to make that cash.

Also, a jump freighter would expand my own market considerably. :) Should you decide to return I'd be happy to supply the plex as a welcome back present.

I would use it to fund stacks of T1 ships that I would hand out to people new to FW and take them on roams, give them the chance to experience it for what it should be rather than them not getting any PvP action because of risk aversion or a fear they might be spy alts.

I'd probably look to have people I trusted in the other militias do the same with some of the ISK, the more of us flying around in fun (not silly blob size) gangs the better.

My friend got 60 billion of an ex-corp member (one of his best friends in game). They had a lot of good times and they were always flying together. But the guy just grew tired of Eve. My friend however absolutely still loves eve. And as a last act this guy decided to make life of someone close to him better.

So to be short, go over the people you liked flying with, the ones that made you stay for 8 years. See if some of them still have fun and try to make their eve-life better by rewarding them for the fun they gave you.

If you can't find em? Well, I can be your friend, although my obnoxious and socially unadapted behavior would have made you go away long before 8 years played, I am very loyal.

I would buy t2 ships, mostly frig and cruiser size, and fit them out for pvp. Pretty simple but really the best thing to spend isk on. Let me know if I win anything :).

Mail sent m8.

Also i hope you have enjoyed your 8 years playing eve and i hope that you enjoy what ever you are going to do once you leave game. If you are giving your money away i would be very apreciative of it (read mail).

If you are leaving most people would not come and give there money away. They would keep it to ther dying chars.

This is a really nice thing to do

Read the mail and thanks

I would try to buy back my alt that I really regret giving away when I decided to quit myself (didn't quit hard enough, since I came back).

Any spare ISK I would invest in setting up a POS reaction business.

With 20 billion isk i would blow all of the current isk i have on enough Quafe Ultra to bathe in, probably aound 300millions worth, and instead of spinning ships like i do on a regular basis cause it takes me that damn long to make any where near a sensible wage, cause of constantly being camped into station, i'd probably blow it all on a fleets worth of ships, then suicide a small roam into higher odds on a drink fueld FC storm rage.

Maybe actually enjoy the game rather than grinding constantly, would be nice XD

I'd simply blow it all.

Literally, i'd use it to keep me in ships and modules for many months to come while on my mission of being a decent PVP'er.

After all this "I-would-make-the-universe-saver" and "I-would-help-Rookies"-Blabla, its time to be honest:

I would take the ISK and do, what i always did: Try to invest it to get more of those tiny coins.

Oh, besides that, i would buy my corporation some Dreads.

farewell. o7

I would suggest that instead of giving it all away in one BIG spending spree - How about making a gift that lasts instead?
A gift that keeps giving every month.

BIG Trust Fund is a service for doing just that.

For almost three years now BTF has monthly paid a number of individuals/corps a sum that easily covers a PLEX (or 3) and some fun on the side for each (total payout getting close to 200B ISK).

So consider finding a good solid T2 BPO (or several) matching the funds you have available, designate one or more recipients you'd like to receive a monthly payout, and BTF will take care of the rest.

Over time that gift will be worth far far more than a one time give away.

After 8 years you have no friends or people you like? WTF did you do for 8 years?

Give it to your friends but better yet you should just keep it because You Will Be Back.

Otherwise ya give it to me I will add it to the rest of mine and think about you a couple times a year when I buy something big.

2 options:

1. I would buy and train all 4 racial Titan skills

or

2. Buy capital component/ship BPOs and donate them to my alliance


In both cases, the isk is "sunk". If you decide to give the isk to me, you choose which option.

Admittedly, I have been a care-bear for the duration of my EVE life. I would start and maintain a low sec, 0.0 pirate corporation with the 20 Billion. That sum would make me fearless.

It would dramatically encourage a massive shift in the way that I (and those that join my corp) approach game play in EVE.

Thanks for the chance, TM! I think just the opportunity has begun a shift in my brain...
