Do these shares pay Dividends? - Sorry if the question has already been asked, can't be bothered going through nearly 50 pages of posts.

Shares go towards a better Highsec.
That's the dividend... a better market, better player experiences, less dull game overall.

What better thing could you ask? ;)

Another Fun Fin alt?

You know you guys bang on about him so much, I'm starting to think he's one of your guy's drama-alts.

Scam? Investing in New Order shares is probably the best investment you can make in this entire game.

I would call content creation a loss lol
You must be one of those risk averse players (esp since you're posting from a noob corp alt)

The definition probably depends on what source you consult. If you for example look in wikipedia you find the following definition:

Investment is time, energy, or matter spent in the hope of future benefits actualized within a specified date or time frame.

In the case of the New Order of Highsec it is pretty obvious what the benefits are. The invested ISK goes directly into the betterment of Highsec and the restoration of a proper risk/reward situation from which everyone benefits in the end.

If people talk about investing in the school system or investing in a new car they don't expect direct monetary returns. The benefits of an investment come in many forms and that should be pretty obvious.

An investment in New Order shares is very similar to an investment in education or even an investment in the development of a third world nation. You have to look at the big picture to see why that is the case. Without the New Order, Highsec would be a wasteland of AFK hauling and mining. There would be almost no profit margin between trade hubs, since transport would be completely effort free and therefore meaningless because everyone could just ship his stuff with an AFK alt. The whole hauling business which do those things for cash would collapse. The ore prices would be completely destroyed since the market would be saturated with ore from all the risk free AFK mining with zero effort.

Apart from that, there is the whole miner equipment branch of the industry which directly benefits from the destruction of the miners and haulers which do not obey the Code. Let's quickly check the numbers to get a feeling of how much this industry profits from this investments.

If we look at the killboard stats of the elite PvP alliance CODE., we can see that roughly for every 1 ISK invested, 40 ISK of illegal mining and hauling equipment gets destroyed. So for every 1 ISK invested you create 40 ISK in demand on the mining equipment market. And that is only the obvious monetary benefit, all the other stuff like the ore prices, the hauling industry and the market profits are a lot harder to estimate.

Also let's not forget the non-monetary benefits like free education for miners and haulers and a better, healthier highsec and highsec community overall.

So as you can see, the benefits are objectively and verifiability astronomical and far beyond everything else you will find in this subforum. Not only that, but if you invest in New Order shares, you also get the warm feeling of being part of something greater than just you and to benefit not only your own wallet but the EVE community as a whole.

That is in essence why investing in New Order shares is the best investment you can make. You don't have to be jealous because it was our Supreme Protector of Highsec, Father of the New Order our Saviour James 315 who came up with it. It takes a very special man, a hero to look at the rotten state of Highsec and not to turn away immediately in disgust but instead to take on the monumental task of rescuing it and all it's citizen.

Praise James

Yes. With the intent of baiting a response from you, which they got, and will now continue to fish for, since youve shown that you'll give them tasty chum.

Honestly, I thought you said you understood this.

Some fun facts about our shareholder program:

1. Not a cult
2. Not a scam
3. An awesome investment for savvy businessmen and businesswomen
4. More new shareholders today and over 1 trillion 107 billion isk now!

I doubt he is, but you are XD

Think this as good way to keeping demand up on certain mods and ships. How would you sell anything on market if ships doesnt get blown up. Market only works if people need to buy stuff from there. Yes i feel sorry for the lost un insured ships that are afk mining or that mine without any tank

Pretty sure most of the donations are there to support what they do. People just donate to that cause I believe. No one really cares lol

Right, I know that. I think most know that as well.

I haven't received any isk from Zaha Koto. If you were using another character, simply give us his name and we can clear up all this confusion, I think.

And the character's name, if you please?

I'd like to hear you say the character's name.

You know why.

do you know why you won't say the toon's name?
it's quite simple...
See, you never sent any isk for one share.

Mystery solved
#Dunked

Didn't you know?
We're all James315 alts XD

I bought the shares because it's a cause that's worth it imo..
Bots and bot-aspirants don't have their place in EVE

CODE. and the Code are there to make sure of that..

I see no point in trying to give my opinion since I'm "delusional" because I support something you don't
bai

Of course there are shares. There is a Shareholder's page that records every such transaction.

And of course shareholders give away their ISK. That's how currencies work: you exchange them for goods, services or other financial instruments (like shares in a business venture). You don't get a haircut, a used car, or shares in General Electric and get to keep your money. You have to give your money to the other party.

You appear to have an unhealthy fixation on what other people do with their imaginary space money. I mean, whether some numbers in the game database are in one column or another doesn't seem to matter much in the grand scheme of things. If New Order shares aren't the investment for you that is all fine and dandy, but virtually running around in front of the bank waving your hands in the air and yelling "There are no shares!" makes you appear as some sort of crazy person given there are shares and their owners are listed on minerbumping.com for the world to see and verify if they wish.

The levels of hate coming from you are astounding lmao

Afaik, my English is on par with regular English speakers (people can't tell it's not my first language)
As for the accusation of being delusional, you're not the first nor the last to throw that one at me, and it gets funnier each time someone tries to insult my mental state since obviously y'all know me better than I know myself (/s)

I wouldn't expect people to support you with that beyond-cancerous attitude
Oh welp

Let the hate flow
I don't think I laughed this much in a while
The incomprehension you show is beyond anything I've seen lol... especially from a "11 years old vet"
/me thinks you like Hello Kitty Online a lot
Too bad this is EVE, where the strong thrive and the weak cry on the forums XD

It's been quite a while since this was last brought up ...telling Eve players to go to Hello Kitty Online used to be a kind of meme here several years ago.
So, no offense, but I got to ask: have you ever tried it yourself?
Because..uhm...I have.
And let me tell you, it's HARDCORE. About the first item you get in this game is a big ax. Then a pickax and scissors.
So...we can imagine how to put these instruments to good use, I guess. Mind you, this game is intended for children.
The tutorial tells you how to use the ax to chop wood and the pickax to mine- I forgot what the scissors were used for.
So you enter the pink sweet candy world of Hello Kitty online, tightly gripping your ax, and see other people using their pickaxes to mine.
Now here's where I encountered a major, game breaking bug, since for reasons unknown I couldn't use my ax to kill and dismember the miners. I had harvested some wood in advance and was planning to plant the heads of slain miners on those sticks to mark my newly claimed territory in this strange, strange world- but this turned out to be impossible, either by wilful negligence of the devs or another major bug.
So I soon lost interest and canceled my account, yet I'm still excited thinking about the endless possibilities that could have been.
And if you think I'm making this up, because no person could possibly be this pathetic, then you probably underestimate the power of sheer boredom. And here is the proof.
Now I've written a lot of stupid text in other people's threads...sorry about that..uhm... just let me buy 100 shares for wasting your time, OK?
Thanks GÖÑ

A toast, to healthiness--and to the additional shareholders who brought us over the 1 trillion 113 billion isk mark!
