No bank account? Are you one of those self-sufficient off the grid libertarian types?
No wait, you still have Internet ..., so what gives?
hell no its a little thing called 2 grand in debt and a locked credit.
Bummer, though I am pretty sure that they have to allow you to keep a checking account. Not sure how people can even survive these days by using cash only, seems cumbersome.
Good old google. I have my e-mails archived from 2007. I have one for 100mil isk and I think I did that twice back then.
So I imagine I'm ~250 million or so isk in debt.
Maybe I will buy a card to sell.
Plex sell for 500mil. Not bad profit lol.
yeah plex prices are bullcrap and i know for a fact its CCP buying the plex cards to drive up the price. my cousin bought 3 plex and resold them and it was a CCP account that bought them. when plex first started they were at 300 million isk, now they are up to 500+ million isk.
I still recall making a 500 mil PLEX prediction on the Market Discussions forum and was laughed out of town about a year ago. I suppose I am laughing now as I am sitting on tons of them bought at 240-280.
However, at ~250 it made no sense to spend $20 for a PLEX in order to convert it to ISK. Now at 500 it's a much better deal for players who want to sell PLEX to prop up their wallet. Obviously PLEX buyers are getting the shaft.
On the flipside now is a great time to sell some PLEX you have to your RL friends for less than $20 if you just want to cash out.
EDIT: Actually, I'd be interested in a screenshot showing a CCP character buying PLEX.
Guys, you HAVE to check out my new game "tax simulator4". You compete with other players for "play packets" and once you enter all the data from your packet in the appropriate fields and submit it you get game credit good for avatar enhancements and more. It is the new gaming phenomenon sweeping the web! For a free invite just email youworkforme@voluntaryslavery.com for a free invite.
Question for all you out there addicted to this game as I am. How of many spend some of your spare isk gambling via lotteries on the forums or via Somer Blink.
Personal I try not to blow over 50-100mil a month on blink but sometime it gets away from me.
never done it and probably never will.
I have to say it is very fun and addicting some nights. Eveonline holdem is fun as well, some poker will mining is always fun. I would suggest throwing 15mil in to blink on night and trying it, I got addicted to it fast by a corp mate.

But in the meantime I recommend reading the following links to get all caught up to speed on Eve:
http://www.isktheguide.com/
A free PDF that shows you virtually all the ways to make money in Eve.
http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Main_Page:
Don't join Eve University as they're constantly wardecced but their wiki is chock-full of info about ships, fits, ways to make ISK, tactics, etc.
How many millions is "many"?
Millions isn't many
Another move by a desperate CCP to get people (back) into the game.If anyone wants to try the game, i have a 60 day trial code.
if i didn't already have 3 expired accounts i'd definitely take the code. but i think i'll wait. CCP is so desperate for people i suspect there will be a discount happening soon for people that re-activate their accounts.
Why did you quit?
Saw someone going around in chat saying Hulkageddon 5 will start early 2012
The only way I would come back is if they completely removed PI and several other stupid things from the game they have done lately and I really don't see that happening. They are dropping core players like hot potatoes. They still have a lot of the 2006+ but it's mostly 2007+ people there and that's very sad. Less and less people around that remember it the way it was before they fucked it up.
That being said, if you want to play you can easily snag a 60 day trial and as a returning player or guided newbie never pay for your account with real money. If you already have an account, they will turn it on for a day or two for free and you can earn a plex in a day easily just running missions.
Carpal Tunnel click fest for one, removal of supply/price stability is another point.Whats so bad about PI?

EVE Online is fundamentally flawed in that it gives a massive advantage to veteran players. CCP then tried to correct this by removing the old sov system, by invention, by PI, by nerfs and boosts, but at the end of the day every change CCP makes has unintended consequences that collectively make the game worse.
That's because CCP can't predict how players will (ab)use the changes that have been implemented.
For me the biggest reason why I essentially quit the game (maintaining a single account now) is that there is no more empire building. Any group of trained monkeys can now come and take space. Sov changes in Dominion were intended to allow smaller entities to go to 0.0, that notion was laughable from the very start. Large entities don't have to hold sov to claim a system, they just say it's theirs and that's the end of it.
CCP thinking that some 20 man corp can now move to 0.0 and stand a chance was ridiculous. Try an anchor a tower if you don't belong to a power bloc and see what happens. So Dominion failed.
I can already hear you say: But ... but ...., no one was able to take space from established entities before Dominion!!!
Except that plenty of space changed hands before Dominion. All of the North except Morsus Mihi space folded, Dusk & Dawn anyone?
Ultimately space isn't held by structures, it's held by people, and people will hold it if they are motivated to hold it. At this point there's literally no motivation to hold space which is why you see those huge NIPs out there. The Drone Clusterfuck Federation was just an example of what could be, but reality isn't too far removed from it.
In either case, if all you care about is to log on and shoot some stuff then there's a chance you can still have fun in EVE if you don't think about it too much. As soon as you think about the territorial mechanics and the territorial reality, about moongoo, and about the larger picture it becomes obvious that all of it is entirely pointless.
The only good thing about EVE right now is the high price of PLEX which makes cashing out ISK easy.
