Being a bit bored of grinding for ISK I thought maybe I should just buy some.
Now, we all know this is not allowed, so I will go through the 'legitimate' route of selling Game-Time cards for ISK.
So, how much do they sell for?
(Actually I have no intention of doing this at all, I just wanted to point how rediculous the situation is.)
Discuss.

Since its legal, and there's no risk, $ are worth even more. I've heard of offers over 200m for gametime cards.

If you dont make enough by game-time cards, just sell some teamspeak space, for an additional income.
If youŠre interested in longtime investment make some accounts and sell the alts.
But lets just rant a little bit more about how stupid CCP is to allow buying ingame goods for $ in China and feel happy that this isnŠt the case in tranq ;)

CCP sold out their principals.

You translate -slenskar, but not KrŸnur (crown)?

They just said yesterday you can buy time-cards for isk anyway you want, and they suggest you use the forums or in-game so GMs can track if it's a scam.

Unless you buy gametime card with your isk, in that case the GMS said its just fine.
Though in the end... its the same thing... but meh...

however much i dont like this, id have to agree wtih ccp here. its their way of life and THE NORM. It is EXPECTED in every game, hell u can get arrested for griefing ppl 24/7 to sell their items (some guy got arrested for doing that in lineage or somethin?)(RL arrested...)
so eve would do a lot worse without this, and its how the majority of the ppl there want it, so let them have it its their server

CCP allows the selling of ingame items/isk for $ on the china servers because that way they don't have to ban almost everyone who plays.
Honestly though, why do you care what happens on the china server? It won't ever affect you.

when the CEO of CCP was quoted to say they might merge the servers someday.. it caused mass panic.

But gtc with your isk.
Use the gtc to train characters.
Sell the characters for isk.
Buy more gtc.
I wonder if you'd come out on top?

Guess I wasnŠt to clear about what I wanted to say:
I do not actually rant about the (possible) selling policy on the Chinese Server. Rather I find it amusing, that so many people care about how the Chinese play and completly ignore the fact that similiar things are also quite common here, on Tranquility.

I remember reading a report about the economies of mmorpg's. It established a real-world value for the money used in various games based on their worth on ebay. It worked out, for example, that Everquest had a higher GNP per person than many developing countries!

Firstly: Does it matter?
Secondly: It's passed disscussion, It's going to happen.
Anyway...
In China the buying of ingame items with RL currency is perfectly acceptable. I can't see why CCP wouldn't allow what is usually allowed.
That, and it's another source of income.

As far as buying gametime is concerned the big difference is it is impossible to make an RL profit out of it.
