Friends have been taunting me for years to get back into the game and my willpower has now given out, so here I am. Anyhow, I have to start over because I sold my character to a friend before I left. It is now his main (with which he runs a small corp) so I feel as though asking for her back would be rather rude and in any case, not in the cards for me.
So my situation is thus: I have around ~50 billion in liquid isk, another ~10 bil (rough estimate) in various assets which I kept on a throw-away alt and I am looking to re-establish myself.
I know there's no right or wrong answer, but I'm quite curious to know what you would do?
500 million isk to the answer that I find the most insightful or amusing. ;)

Buy a bunch of PLEX in Jita, buy an equal number of frigs or a shuttles, fly out with 1 PLEX each time and TAUNT people into shooting you up.
Hours of fun, and with the price of PLEX rising up you shouldn't have too much trouble getting pilots to take that 50/50 chance the PLEX will drop.
FRAPS it for the rest of us to enjoy watching later, and it you have VENT or TS then invite the lucky contestants into your channel to chat, whine, curse, and/or laugh it up while they try to shoot you.

Options are buy a character from the bazaar, or buy 8 years worth of game time in PLEX and stay on the path of starting fresh. You could get 4 years worth of plex and use the rest to fund yourself in t1 ships for FW for the foreseeable future.
You could invest into an industry character and buy some BPOs and build stuff. You might have enough to build an outpost in some backwater 0.0 system =). That is pretty much like throwing it away though. |

Firstly, welcome back. Secondly, personally, I would invest... Not in anything to do with anyone else though, I would invest in yourself.
Although you haven't stated what it is in EVE you're interested in, I will give you an idea of what I would do/plan to do eventually. Start a corp. Not just a small one that has a few members or only specialising in one aspect. I mean the full shibang, with different sectors of the corp. Combat Division, Industrial Division, Logistics (remote repair, shield/armour transfer) Division.
A corp that offers things like ore buyback, ship replacement, incursions, pvp roams. I mean really think about this and do it properly. Invest into recruiting manufacturing directors for the Indy side and FC's for the combat side. Hell, even invest in a load of BPO's and the like. Also have a hisec, lowsec and nullsec presence. A corp like that, that actually does well, will get you your money back, because afterall, its an investment, you take the money back from an investment.
Obviously dont put all your isk into in. Save a load for yourself so you can just have a laugh losing ships or whatever. Or accumulate it.
Just an idea... It's human nature to want to explore. To find your line and go beyond it. The only limit, is the one you set yourself. |

Nobody gives away 500 M for a cheap answer. But here is what I would do: Set up a completely unrelated character, join his corp as an interested, fast learning newbie. Slowly you'll gain his trust with engagement and well dosed applications of leadership and encouragment. Whenever the opportunity arises, you seed discontent among the members and fan the flames of drama. After months of low boiling discord, lost battles, dwindling profits and chains of crippling wardecs his corp will be only a husk of what it used to be. He won't recognize you as his worst enemy though, rather he will ask you if you'd like to assume the role of a director with all rights and privileges. Clearly
You steal all assets and empty the wallets, disbanding the corp. Biomass the alt or not, he played his role.
A few days, maybe two weeks later you log in with a char he knows. You catch up, you talk about stuff. EVE isn't that much fun anymore now, he says, his corp gone through the actions of a single infiltrator. He never had any serious enemies but this game is choke full with jackasses and traitors. It's funny how you seem to be about the only guy left in New Eden he can call a true friend. A long hiatus may be just the thing he needs to get his head free of eve for a while.

Buy your friend a comparable toon (or maybe a toon he or she likes) from the bazaar with the stipulation that he or she will return your main to you. The can CEO the new toon, and transfer all assets to the new toon and you get the character that you started with. (I wish I could get my main back, but I have no money for him now. : \)
If you are looking for something harsh, you could join his corp, train up a bit and then AWOX the everloving **** out of your pixelated former self and then shrug and explain that 'You hated yourself for what you did and wanted to die'. Extra points for doing it while he or she is flying a pimped bling boat with serious head bling hardwired in their soft matter. A lion that needs his prey to lay down in front of him, is no lion at all. He's a pet. |

50 billion ISK? HOW DID YOU DO THAT! No, seriously... how does one make that money?
Anyways, to address your question: I have been really wanting to get into trade. To conquer the market, or at least feel like I'm doing it  I realize that this is no easy task and requires quite a bit of capital. I would love to get a head start. I have done investment and station trading before, so I know a bit of my way around it, but it takes a long time for trades to turn up money... a head start of 500M would triple my investment power, and if you couple that with the Margin Trading skills in trading, I think it would give me a viable future in trading (station trading, at least!)
If the whole new "hauler" skill rebalance will reduce the time it takes for me to train into a hauler I might even put some training time into haulers, as well as some ISK...
Anyways, I would appreciate if you could also answer my first question - as the famous saying goes, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
One day, hopefully, I will be making enough through trade that I do not have to grind 3 hours to fit a Curse for PvP. |

Depends what you want to do.
If you're more into the PvE side of things I would suggest wormholes (or Incursions if you don't want to deal with towers and holding a WH, or just day-trip)
For PvP join FW (any faction will do) and start hunting. If you want to PvP in null join a PvP alliance like RnK, they'll provide large fleets than FW and have a bit more of a goal. You should be notified if someone quotes your post so you can continue the argument! |

First of all, the important thing to understand is that EVE isn't actually fun. Winning is fun, but 99% of the time you're playing the game you're just sitting around doing nothing. So, what you want to do is let someone else do the boring parts while you have all the fun. 50 billion ISK is a decent start to a mercenary fund, and will allow you to spend all your time trolling on the forums (the real fun) while your mercenaries do things that you, as the glorious CEO, can claim credit for.
Now, you have some choices to make about what target. There are three good options:
1) Your friend who has your character. Make them pay for having your character. For example, pay someone to keep a Falcon alt next to them at all times and perma-jam them if they ever undock (without ever killing them, of course). And for maximum drama make sure they know it's you ruining their corporation and griefing them out of the game. Since you won't have to lower yourself to actually playing the game while this is happening you will be free to post epic threads about how much they suck, or reply to every post they make with a link to their latest lossmail.
2) Carebears. This is the best option if you want to continue playing the game for a long time. Carebears are easy targets, so you can get away with cheap mercenaries. And if you pick the right targets you might even be able to ransom carebear corps for more than you're paying the mercenaries, making a net profit on every deal. This has a major advantage in playing the forum game: while you might lose the personal drama (though never underestimate carebear hate mail) you'll generate an impressive killboard for your corp and everyone will have to respect you as a great leader.
3) Drama. Pick someone famous and/or interesting (preferably someone who loves forum posting) and hire mercenaries to kill them. This will probably cost you more money and drain your ISK reserves very quickly, but it has excellent potential for generating forum drama while it lasts. Then once you run out of money you can quit again, secure in both your legacy as "that guy who did X", and your complete lack of funding to ever start playing again if your friends beg you to re-subscribe.
So, good luck and give me my ******* money! |

Start up a newb-ish corp in FW and fund countless waves of frigates, destroyers and cruisers.
You can do a lot of things with that kind of isk.
Running a corp can be either one of the most rewarding or most punishing roles to fill in eve (frequently it's both)
Carve out a name and a solar system for yourself and build a corp that will grown and thrive even without you and long after you've lost interest in the game. |

By the sounds of how much isk you have your old character had quite a bit of sp.
I restarted many times, even though I started in 2005 my highest character only had sp in the low twenties. Previous characters all got biomassed, including billions of isk + assets, also given away billions of isk and assets.
Biggest problem with starting over is you're not able to do what you used to be able to do due to the obvious reason of not having the skills trained.
Another problem you might find is where you have so much isk, you'll find there's no real reason to do much to generate isk at low skill levels as you already have far more than your character needs at that time. Like for instance level 1 and 2 missions which are not that interesting anyway, but you'll still have to do some to get to higher level missions because of the corp. standings.
But the biggest problem is that you may get bored quicker because of the low skill levels of your new character especially as you've already played before with a higher level character. Although your friends will probably keep you occupied.
My advice would be if you find that you are getting bored because of the reasons I gave above, consider getting a ready made character from the market. That way you have access to higher level content which should help as you continue to develop your new character in the way that you want to.
This is free advice by the way, I already have more isk than I need at this time. |

I wouldn't know how to answer this really. I would do what I hadn't done yet, but with a game like Eve, how would you know.
I'm looking into the Roleplay side of the game, as after nearly 9 years I've never done it. There was a comparable marketing problem a few years ago with a pair of competing pasta sauces. A contractor was brought in to find the killer flavour of pasta sauce as the competition was too entrenched, and even at blind testing they were better than the market leader, but established.
The approach was to create the best pasta sauces, plural, not best sauce. Dozens of iterations on composition later 3 dominant strains were found, original, spicy and chunky. Chunky didn't even exist, and a third of the customer base wanted it, it was an unknown unknown.
Thats what I would do, you know what you have done, you know what you haven't done, but it is that unknown unknown that is where the thrill comes from.
So, where have you been already?

I would suggest outfitting a few ships and looking up hisec mercenary corporations. some of the most fun I've had is with a corporation called Royal Hiigaran Navy. Hisec wars I found have a higher tempo, lower fleet size. Once there you can branch out to plug in the gaps with your industrial expertise to make sure you are cash positive.
Alternatively, do what I said above, but bankroll your own mercenary corporation, with your capital and a few close contacts (say 5 minimum after flying with other pvp groups) and make your name like that.
Hope that helps.

I would use the throw away alt to get into a corp, pleading innocence and plex for where the iskies came from, then have fun awoxing the corp that let you in while you train a new toon up to which you transfer all your goodies to after awoxing. I would suggest the New Order as a suitably fun target. Good luck |

I went through something similar recently (came back after burning/boring out). Stay away from whatever you were doing before you left. Or, if you can't, at least keep it to a minimum.
You should not need to do any PvE for the foreseeable with that much ISK (or even a tenth of it given how easy it is to turn a profit). Think about what keeps this game growing despite the awful missions (hint, it involves other players).
If you did not PvP before, start now with a young character. T1 frigates will teach you as much as larger, expensive ships since you will find so many more fights. And you really have to be on the ball since the fights go sooo fast. Great fun.
So come to lowsec and let me shoot you (or get shot by you) - you can keep the iskies. Hooray, I'm l33t! -á(Kil2: "The higher their ship losses...the better they're going to be.") |

Use the money to slowly worm your way into a large corporation via altruistic acts. Be helpful, friendly and talkative and do your best to befriend your 'superiors' (but never outshine them, make them look better because of your actions instead!). Then once you've fully established yourself at the top of the food chain, slowly instigate discontent in the lower ranks against the current leadership via alts. To do this, you'll be tearing apart every decision the leadership have made in the past, pointing out every flaw and blaming it squarely on the upper echelons of leadership (subtly avoid criticizing your main and the person who happens to makes the most mistakes, so you have a scapegoat if the need arises).
Then once the corp is rallied against their leadership, lead a coup de'tat and take on the role of the 'reluctant' king, stepping up to take the 'heavy' burden of leadership. And why would you want to do this? Well you'd be proving to yourself that you could be diabolical if you wanted to, outsmarting and outplaying everyone in your way! It'd be like your own rule the world plan . And once you're the leader, you could help out your RL friend by forming an alliance and trying to carve out of a piece of the universe for yourself.
Or you could just use your money to fund a pure PvPer and blow things up while doing 20 minutes of trading each week for lots of profit :P. |

Well,
it all comes up to what kind of game play you had with your previous main, so if was you I would try to find a char with similar skills and buy it and start enjoying the game right way with the differences you certainly will find, I say this because I know that restart playing with a new char for a player that know the mechanics of the game can be frustrating for the training time it takes, on other hand as you are buying a ready to play char you can focus the skill time on another toon.
P.S. If you buy a char make shore it as the BC skills trained so you can fly all races.

If you really do have all that isk you said you have, there's more than enough to keep you flying for the foreseeable future. Ofc if you want to act stupid, buy a couple of extremely pimped out faction battleships and get yourself ganked by some locals. You probably wont feel happy afterwards but it should be a rush losing that much isk in one go. |

I've barely scratched the dirty underbelly of this game but I didn't see you mention mining, scheming, scamming, or solo play. Become a solo bounty hunter. You have the resources and experience to do so. You can buy the most appropriate character which provides the core set of skills you need. Train up the other skills while you mobilize the resources you need to hunt down your victims. Never join a corp and contract only your help.

Find a fun group of guys n gals, fly with them for a while, get back into the EVE mentality then take it from there. I wouldn't sink any isk into a character or a so called "investment" because you might be bored again within 2 weeks of coming back if u don't have a purpose or direction.
Worst thing to do is create a corp, your out of touch and starting from scratch.
Surf the forums and join the recruitment channel, see who's out there. And don't dwell on your sold character. Its a done deal and i doubt u'll ever get him back.
And remember its a game not a 2nd job. HAVE FUN! |

Do a barrel roll?
No. You can't do that in this game, submarine physics and all. Get yourself a character, but not one that is particularly good. I'd say around the 20 or 30mil mark? Depends on focus; lower SP for more focused toons, higher SP for toons that are a bit slapdash but can field a decent range of stuff so are fun. Obviously don't get one that's rubbish. I really wouldn't recommend spending outside the 7-10bil range, otherwise you'll either spend too long training necessary skills to fly a range of shinies or you just won't have that integral part of the game, which is waiting for what you want.
Then buy me a nyx cause, y'know, I'm a swell guy. Save the Domi model! Spacewhales should be preserved. |

Let's see... I'd probably have 2 accounts or so running, so I could train two characters on divergent routes. Also alt or two trained on those accounts for various purposes as needed. Anyway, I would do very different things in different areas in time there could be some crosstraining and use as needed, but the principle here is that I'd be able to do all the things I want to do as fast as I can in as wide area (both in space and specialization) as possible. |

OK! I have yet to get paid so here's my best attempt at insight and amusement.
The first and most important part of enjoying EVE is being surrounded in like-minded players. Failing that, surrounding yourself in sycophants will do. The latter is much easier to accomplish.
Take your alt, or some character you buy, and collude with your friends. Get a rookie corp going. You'll need to focus on things the newbs can do so pick something ridiculously simple and stick with it. That will be your corp's thing.
The next step is to find a highsec island somewhere far, far away from a trade hub; preferably one that requires quite a few jumps to access. Take your newbs out there and establish a base of operations. Inform the newbs that they should let you know what mods they need and you will bring them in to sell at a "discount," to members. Secondly, inform them that they must work hard to keep the local economy stocked with the goods they need.
At first they'll probably balk a bit. This is where your friends out of corp, or mercs, come in handy. Arrange for any of the dissident newbs taking a trip to a real hub to have an accident. Be sure that anyone who mentions the words "mwd," and "cloak," in the same sentence be immediately demonized. Have your friends, or mercs, camp the rookies into the island for a while. You won't need the blockade to last forever, just long enough to make them fearful of going anywhere to resupply.
Repeat this process as needed and trim the skeptics as you go. Eventually you'll have a lovingly sycophantic cult of personality surrounding you. Black frog will allow you to buy what you need to keep the newbs pacified and have it delivered for a nominal fee. You'll mark the price up significantly AND skim off the tax funds.
Eventually you'll have like-minded directors to keep the show going who can take their own small cut of the action and you can retire to a pure pvp character, stopping by on your "main," once in a while to make sure that the protection money is still flowing and the peasants are continuing to provide for their lord.
You would not be the first to do this, but I've never actually seen it fail. Now send me that money! |

Well, first of all what you need to know is what you want to achieve. Do you want to kill lots of capsuleers? Earn even more isks, because hey why not? Do you just want to explore stuff? etc.
If you want to just bulk up on isks: - Considering you already have a lot of isks, why not consider trading? It will probably require a lot of excell sheets but hey, some people are into that. - You could buy some pimped PVE ship and farm Lvl 4 missions - You could also go buy a WH, set up your own POS and farm sleepers (either alone or create your own corp) - You could always do incursions (if you want to carebear, shoot npc's and do it with other people)
If you want PeeVeePee: - You could join FW. With the funds you have you could buy pimped ships and obliterate a lot of the cheap FW'ers (who usually stick to either T1 or Faction ships with T2 fittings) - You could just have fun suicide ganking people for ***** and giggles. - You could go into WH's for WH PeeVeePee. - You could just be a boring person and go into alliance null space. - You could become a pirate, they love pimped ships and your high amount of isks will make losses more affordable.
If you want to explore: - WH's are fun for that too. You get to explore new space all the day due to new WH's connecting you to new parts of space - You could roam around in Low Sec or Null looking for anoms.
My personal Suggestions: A) If you want moar isks; trading B) If you want PeeVeePee; Wormholes. It's a fun experience and WH's are extremely unique in many ways and your wallet would allow you to set up and maintain a nice POS and have a pimped up PVE ship to kill sleepers. (on top of your PVP ships) -Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily. |

As your character is now in the great corp of Doomheim (quite a few there myself) I can only guess that the character has served it's purpose. So you've either bought a character from the market, started another new character or posting in GD has restored your willpower.

I would suggest, even if you didn't think it rude, that trying to reclaim your original main is probably not the way to go... The members of your friend's corp know the character through that player (as do many other people), the character has evolved since you've been away - and, more importantly, the ennui which I assume was behind your decision to leave in the first place is far more likely to return with the character. I know so many people who, coming back after an ennui induced break, immediately started running L4 missions again (because it's the only way they have of making decent money), not many of them kept their sub going beyond their first PLEX.

I know there's no right or wrong answer, but I'm quite curious to know what you would do? What I would do, in your situation? I would forget the money and assets on the throwaway alt for the moment, ignore them entirely. I would talk to the RL friends, a couple of them at least, including the person running your old character, RL friends who you can play alongside are awesome and their cooperation may be needed. I would start a brand new character, entirely from scratch, with no outside input, just 5k ISK and a Frigate. Play the NPE, all the tutorial missions, everything and try to approach it as if it was my first time playing. I'd then join the RL friend's corp, ask them not to mention anything about your previous career and don't mention anything about it yourself, play as if you really are new to the game.
By playing as a really new character your options are forced open and you can experience the universe afresh, you can try things you've never considered before because you're new and you don't know any better (and the ships and clone you're in aren't going to break the bank).
After, perhaps, six months you might look at purchasing characters, investing your old wealth or whatever - but hold off for at least that long before you even touch it - shiney things in cobweb strewn rooms won't help you look at EVE with fresh eyes. |

First. you already HAVE lots of ISKs, so all the answers that give you some hair brained sheeme to make more should be irelevant to you. You left the game, and yet it pulled you back in. There is an allure, a siren call that you heed. So the key to finding out what to do, is to find out WHAT made you come back to EvE. Was it the pew? The cameraderie? The sandboxiness? Go within yourself, and find out what made you come back. Then think on how to explore and enhance that aspect.
Purchasing a suitable character is a good idea, no one really would want to retrain all the skills you once had. Then, let the fun begin. You have enough isk to fly solid ships, set up a WH corp, heck, even rent SoV null. Or start a very shooty mining corp in High Sec. The world is your ouster.
Personally, I do detect a slight devious, almost decadent desire for lulz and maybe even tears (forgive me if i am wrong). Thus, take some of that wealth and give in to your personal dark side. Smartboming ice miners (with a BS or two) comes to mind, or silly station games in Jita with REALLY expensive ships....
On the other hand, if I am wrong and you have your dark side savely stored away, I would suggest some random acts of sensles kindness. Like dropping a well fitted cruiser or BC in a noobie system, and offering it to the first pilot who successfully scans you down, etc. Harvesting smiles can be just as rewarding as harvesting tears...
Whatever you do, have fun. And welcome back!

Look here, If you got the money Ive got the solution fer you. You see here at the home we have been invaded by what we here call furry rats or more commonly known as squirrels. Now we could devise a plan of attack by hiring a local exterminator but I find that it would save us time and money if we invest the money in new fangled contraptions thats designed to not feed em so that thay decide to go and mess with some other home. These arnt no normal squirrels I tell you, they will walk right up to you as if you were going to offer them some food right there on the spot. And I tell you why they do this, Betty, the resident just down the hall likes to FEED THEM! This is unacceptable and I have informed the staff many a time but they seem to favor the rude antics of Betty.
This is just the start of my problems with some of the people that also live here. I believe it were about a week before they took my computer away fer what they call "Breakin the rules" I seen Jan the nurse allowing second servings of lunch to her favorites. Now even tho I didnt want any extra I have always wondered if I had wanted some, what would she have done? I just dont know. Grandpa Bill |

I would buy a well-skilled subcap character on the Bazaar and pay to have a high-sec tower in an alt corp put up close to Jita, maybe even in Maurasi / Muvo (paying mercs a couple bil to remove a POS).
Use current throwaway alt as an industrial/trade character to make money, maybe add another industrial character or two on that account.
That setup would make bank on ISK and let you jump right into PVP.
Oh, I'd also give me half a bil. |

Buy every Gnosis that is under a hundred mil all at once, so the price skyrockets all of a sudden.
Wait for it to even out over the next couple years, and then start selling them. They'll probably sell for several hundred mil by then. Fit a warfare link to your tech 1 battlecruiser. Train Wing Commander. Get in the Squad Commander or Wing Commander position. Your fleets will be superior to everyone else's. |

500 million isk to the answer that I find the most insightful or amusing. ;)
If it were me in your position? Look out for a corp or alliance that seems your kind of outfit. Buy an alt able to fly a carrier well then get into a space holding alliance. Rather than a renter corp. Or join an alliance that is wanting to take sov for itself. Just for the love of all things holy. SHAKE UP 0.0!

Pool up with the multi-billionaires of EVE and form a corporation with faction stations, and DED mods on everything from rookie frigates to Capitals... of course, Supercapitals and Titans should be officer fit. |

Use the money to start a rookie PvP corp near Jita. Name it "Violet". Declare war on Red and Blue.
Turn RvB into R-V-B. This thread has so much content it may be 'Thread of the Year' and it is only January.

I think what you mean is start a Green Corp, then it will be R-G-B. Heck. I'd join Green me thinks. I suddenly woke up thinking I had a nightmare, then remembered I can't even fly Amarr Battleships. I add bits to this when I'm bored https://www.dropbox.com/s/foijsawsqolarom/EVE_Online.html |

Actually on a serious note, how much capital do people think it would take to start a brand new merc corp, take over Rancer then charge some basic fees for keeping that low sec pipe clear of pirates for freighting players?
Could be just some basic toll fees, and pretty sure lots of people would jump on that.
I mean, if you want emergent gameplay, this idea is as good as any. I suddenly woke up thinking I had a nightmare, then remembered I can't even fly Amarr Battleships. I add bits to this when I'm bored https://www.dropbox.com/s/foijsawsqolarom/EVE_Online.html |

im not looking to gain 50 billion isk but 500 mill wouldnt be wasted so here it goes.
with your 44.5 billion remaining isk, YOU COULD !! perhaps pay all the noob corps with lots of members you can find to come together and build a huge noob alliance and give them the isk to fund said alliance and state it must be anti goon.
that is how goons started after all..
they swarmed into eve as a pi9le of ******** noobs formed corps all over the place created an alliance and just suicide ganked their way into null.
thats what i would do create a new eve evil.. to start this creation of yours could terrorise empire. i foresee thousands of new pilots flocking to this new opportunity to get to the top.
feel free to send me 1 billion isk ;) i could certainly use it. |

thats actually a fantastic way to start a new corp/alliance. give it a huge target like that and get the people required on board. should have thought of that earlier. |

Figure out which of those assets you want to keep and which you can part with. Have a reputable corp transport the items to where you need it to be via contract. The rest you can sell off as a group, separately, or reprocess. I can has blogging skills! |
