Haven't read through the whole thread so I don't know if this has been said yet. But even if 100 percent of the eve population would want be either a model, director, accountant, investor, consumer the biggest problem would be getting people to want to turn on cq or turning it on with out a computer meltdown.
However I have a character named georgia jones :)

Only read the first 10 or so posts...
I'd happily hire myself an escort and have them do things with corpses. Things that would make even the most vile people cringe... Things that these escorts would wish they charged 1000 times more... Things that aren't even speakable anymore! NAUGHTY things....

One thing to keep in mind is that even if you can get the avatars of new pilots to do social escort service for cheap, those new players won't stay new for long, and as they improve ingame skillz they'll find more interesting money-making opportunities.
So you're going to have to continously recruit new escorts, chefily from among new players, as your old ones either retire explicitly, or else raise their fees.
New players might also desire some help (from you perhaps), in terms of advice on how to make a cute avatar, usually same account-alt. Tips and tricks, what to do, what avoid. Same with advice for how to make a macho avatar for bodyguard escort service.
I doubt I'll be a client any time soon, but in the longer term, having someone cute around during corp meetings, to serve drinks and hand out tablet computers, and giggle whenever I try to be funny, might be worthwhile.

Originally by: Dethmourne Silvermane Saw "escort service", read "prostitution in Incarna has arrived".
Oh its arrived. Theres a female character who wanders around advertising her "services", she's kind of based herself off the travelling ho' from firefly. I first saw her in Jita, then a few days later travelling through renyn. Her prices had increased significantly over a few days so Im guessing theres a demand for "in character erotic chat"
Probably not what CCP were hoping people would look forward to using WIS for
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Ohhh I ghet it - the whole demand for models is based on the roleplaying service.
If your paying models by the hour, do they have to log timecards or something? Otherwise, it's difficult to prove when and when they aren't working - unless you're going for a 'join the corp, and I keep paying you until I decide to fire you' which would get expensive considering it might be difficlt to get work. Another method could be contractual.
Indeedwatson is of average attractiveness and male, so I could probably be an 'ugly model' - but I could also give business advice on how to prepare for the slow weeks/months when the work is zilch. Maybe make me a junior accountant or something? That's just an another idea.

Interested in being hired. I have been told I look underage, while being not(!), guess there could be a market for that.
Ugh, I cannot believe I just wrote that.
However, I think it would be fun and if it earns some iskies...why not?
I do have a lot of questions about the whole procedure. I just thinks it's still too early for that, though. I'll follow this thread.

Hi, I'm Litair and I approve this message.
But anyways the whole thing about walking around on the station with other people, is still pretty far out in the future, no?

LMAO. This post gave me flashbacks of a certain obese character from a movie called "Gamer." Anywho, I think that 10% is much too low. I would go up to 25%-40% depending on the contractor.

Successful escort service is not just about model shape, but also about model behaviour.
The two angles you can work is to look and act underage, or to look underage but act like you're not. There's (almost certainly) a clientel for each of these, and part of the trick is being able to quickly guess which kind of person each new client is.

Well, the whole "EvE is real" thing is being carried on strongly. This is starting to have a depressing post-Communism Eastern Europe feel.

I think in the long term there will be enough money in modeling to keep players attracted to this profession. Though the turnover is likely to be high, but I hope that a small percentage will enjoy the rolepaying and stick with the corp.

As soon as WiS becomes active.

I suppose the client can reconfirm whether services were satisfactory. Will be difficult to implement other methods keeping game mechanics in mind. We're working on this :)

So much so that at times I want nothing to do with Eve being real.
