Valkazm	Posted - 2006.05.30 11:53:00 - [151] im a spender and i like the PvP so not to mucht at all
Iratus Caelestis	Posted - 2006.05.30 12:06:00 - [152] More than most but also less than a quite a few. Still rue the day that I didn't club together with a couple of other peeps to buy the Cap Recharger 2 BPO from Anue for 20bn when he was selling it. If you want proper money you should start up a 2900 person corporation with a 10% tax rate
Khatred	Posted - 2006.05.30 12:10:00 - [153] Originally by: Kippax Ine And they want to control it, and impose their will on others. So unfortunately, ISK is a win for most, when the real crux of EVE is PvP.. Kippax, read what you wrote again. In a PvP game, OBVIOUSLY you try to impose your will on others duh _______________________________________________ Every time you whine a little HAC is destroyed. Please think of the little HACs
Steven Dynahir	Posted - 2006.05.30 13:12:00 - [154] About 2.5years and I've come up to around ~30m. --- Sell orders Recruitment

KennyRogers	Posted - 2006.05.30 14:20:00 - [156] 6 weeks since started playing, 56mil in wallet and another 500mil in assets
Nimie	Posted - 2006.05.30 16:46:00 - [157] around 100b in assets and 35b in cash. every time these threads comes up i can't figure out how people could have so little cash. not sure if i can advertise this but i like it. http://www.eve-bay.biz/
Zaribeth	Posted - 2006.05.30 18:06:00 - [158] I have about 830mil in cash and 200mil in assets atm. Is now on my third char. sold 2. so at one point i had over 2bil isk :P. Played since Christmas 2004 :)
WhiskeyDP	Posted - 2006.06.02 18:13:00 - [159] Originally by: Gardavil I debated whether to say anything on this, but why not... Originally by: WhiskeyDP isk isnt everything. it helps, but doesnt necissary(sp?) mean u have more fun playing the game so dont get hanged up about how much isk u have/dont have. just enjoy the game as it is I respectfully disagree WhiskeyDP...ISK to some of us is a measure of success or failure in the game. Many people here are reporting ISK/Assets in excess of 500 Million, many much higher....good, very good. You need ISK in this game to do most anything worthwhile. I would say these people are successful. Now, using myself as an example, I have 3.1 Mil ISK in wallet, and about 75 Mil ISK in assets (and that's after about 12 months with this character). Not good, no, not good. A lack of financial resources has affected what I did or did not do ingame many times. So yes, ISK is important; it is the almost literal equivilant of XP and/or Rank that you see used in other games. I do still enjoy the game, but without a decent amount of ISK, there has been a tremendous amount of things I have wanted to do that I couldn't. So yes, ISK is VERY important in EVE in my honest, if noobish, opinion. i still say that isk isnt everything. sure it helps but its not everything. i am one of those wealthy ones with hundred of billions in isk/assets but i would trade everything i have if i could get that feeling i had the first time i undocked my noob ship and warped or when i travelled 80(40 jumps one way, no shuttles back then) jumps to get my first omen @ 5,5m(which was a lot of isk back then) or when i was the first in my corp(and probably one of the first 50-100 in eve) to get a battleship. i still had more fun without the isk then i do with the isk. i have an old eve mate who just came back to eve with a new char after being away for 2 years. even if he doesnt have any isk or skills he enjoys the game more then ever even if he make crappy isk from doing lvl 2/3 missions so again: dont get hanged up about how much isk everyone and his mother have. just try and enjoy the game as long and as much as u can ================== === wts BPC's - check my bio. Best Collection ingame?
El Alamein	Posted - 2006.06.02 19:01:00 - [160] i would say around 1.1 bil cash 1.5 bil assets. -----------------------------------
blacknight9	Posted - 2006.06.02 21:07:00 - [161] Originally by: Nimie around 100b in assets and 35b in cash. every time these threads comes up i can't figure out how people could have so little cash. And for how long did u play the game?
Femintaki	Posted - 2006.06.02 21:48:00 - [162] Originally by: WhiskeyDP isk isnt everything. it helps, but doesnt necissary(sp?) mean u have more fun playing the game so dont get hanged up about how much isk u have/dont have. just enjoy the game as it is Possibly the most important thing in this thread right here!

prof0und l0gic	Posted - 2006.06.02 22:19:00 - [163] Played since October 05. Wallet holds roughly 300 mill and about 200 mill in assets.
Nyphur	Posted - 2006.06.02 22:54:00 - [164] Originally by: Nimie around 100b in assets and 35b in cash. every time these threads comes up i can't figure out how people could have so little cash. That is obscene. Absolutely obscene. If you have that much isk, I should know your name. I should see your name and think "Oh man, there's Nimie, that guy who runs all those prize givaway events" or "Hey, it's Nimie! How's the latest massive project coming?". Some people have so much isk simply because they have nothing to do with it. If I had 35B, I'd invest it and give the interest away in events or set up some projects like outpost construction. As it stands, I only have about 2 billion isk and 4-5 billion in liquifiable assets (another 700mil in implants in a jump clone). With that isk, I'm setting up what I can, some POS and a corporation that can call a place home. I'm buying friends game time cards so they can play when they can't afford isk. I'm playing the market with it and at any time may have all or most of it in assets for a time. Having more than a billion isk in my wallet makes me think "This is a billion isk I need to invest in order to make more isk or make people's lives better". If you REALLY have 35 billion in your wallet, you're a fool. Eve-Tanking.com - For tanking spreadsheet and resources.
evil lemming1	Posted - 2006.06.02 23:15:00 - [165] Edited by: evil lemming1 on 02/06/2006 23:15:21 I think I have a billion worth of shares
Archon Theo	Posted - 2006.06.02 23:30:00 - [166] Originally by: Steven Dynahir About 2.5years and I've come up to around ~30m. I know how you feel I can only speak from one point of view, mine.

Dentara Rast	Posted - 2006.06.03 00:39:00 - [168] Originally by: Nyphur ISK isn't worth anything unless you do something with it. If you REALLY have 35 billion in your wallet, you're a fool. How the hell can he be a fool? 35b liquid means he is a damn sight more intelligent than most at what he does. If he has 100b assets, you can assume that this 100b generates income, thus adding to his liquid cash, making him a very shrewd business man. Should he do more with his liquid isk? Not unless he wants to increase his workload and not if he is happy with the way things go at the moment. Based on your conclusions about someone who has this type of cash available, what would I be if I had... 150b liquid cash and nearly 300b in assets? This is why im the best This one is for the Forum Mods :)
Deja Thoris	Posted - 2006.06.03 00:44:00 - [169] Originally by: Nyphur ISK isn't worth anything unless you do something with it. If you REALLY have 35 billion in your wallet, you're a fool. Maybe he was planning on making a big purchase the next day. Calling someone a fool when you know nothing of their plans is.....foolish
Discodude	Posted - 2006.06.03 04:36:00 - [170] I've been playing for 2 years now, and I have about 700 mill in isk and I guess about 4 bill isk in assets. A freighter and about 2 bill isk worth of merc (depending on prices) make up the vast worth of my assets atm, but once my merc sells my isk will jump up then I'll spend it on more assets. ----------------------------------------------- Hast Destructive Influence Band of Brothers "the titan is still safe in my pants. that is all"
Nyphur	Posted - 2006.06.03 13:06:00 - [171] Originally by: Deja Thoris Maybe he was planning on making a big purchase the next day. Calling someone a fool when you know nothing of their plans is.....foolish Unless he managed to make that 35b within the last week, he has had billions sitting accumulating in his wallet. ISK left in a wallet depreciates. 100mil a year ago was worth more than 100mil today. Isk not invested is isk devalued and lost. That's a fact. It doesn't matter what he's doing to do with it unless it's only in his wallet temporarilly while he sorts something out like if he's selling stock this week to purchase a HAC BPO. I admit that it's foolish of me to assume that he's not going to do that but he's not the only person in eve with billions in isk just lying there, this wasn't pointed squarely at him. Even if you are saving up for something big, save up for it in less liquid forms which grow rather than just throwing isk on the pile until you have enough. Do you save large sums of money IRL by putting your paychecks in a big box? No, you put it in a savings account to gain interest. I stand by what I said. If you have a billion isk in your wallet for over a few weeks, you're losing out and you're a fool. I know because I am a fool. I could have double what I do now if I'd invested it when I wasn't using it. Originally by: Dentara Rast Should he do more with his liquid isk? Not unless he wants to increase his workload and not if he is happy with the way things go at the moment. Based on your conclusions about someone who has this type of cash available, what would I be if I had... 150b liquid cash and nearly 300b in assets? 150b isk? I'd call you insane. You've also made the mistake of assuming that investments eat up effort and time. This isn't the case. Invest in shares, invest in trading companies, invest in a high rate savings account from EIB, it's all the same thing. No effort, minimal risk, large gains that let your idle isk grow and some of those methods are incredibly liquid, allowing you to take back your isk in a matter of days. The EIB high rate savings account (minimum deposit 1B isk) is a nice one but it doesn't give you quick access to the isk so it's not as liquid, but it's perfectly fine for long-term investments (3 months +). I expect to have at least a billion of my isk sitting in my wallet for over 3 months because I am saving for things so I will be investing it in an EIB account. Either I could go for the 1-month cycle savings account that will net me approximately 20% interest over three months or go for the high interest one that will net me 25% over three months with no access to it for the duration. Either way, if I leave it in my wallet, I get 0% interest. EIB, if you're interested. There's a phrase that is related to this. They say that money you keep on you is "burning a hole in your pocket". It's true because currency devalues as it inflates unless you gain interest on it over the rate of inflation. Eve-Tanking.com - For tanking spreadsheet and resources.
Vetraband	Posted - 2006.06.03 13:47:00 - [172] 2bn in assets 1.5bn in isk
jukriamrr	Posted - 2006.06.03 16:23:00 - [173] For a long long time I had more sp's than isks. That has changed, though. I'm not rich, though. (about 1b in cash and 1.5-2 in assets)
Snee	Posted - 2006.06.03 16:25:00 - [174] Edited by: Snee on 03/06/2006 16:25:44 maybe 40b in combined assets/isk, mostly unsalable crap though. given I've never actually built ANYTHING, it not too bad. Snee the Helpful Middleman Oh no research/lottery either.

They say that money you keep on you is "burning a hole in your pocket". It's true because currency devalues as it inflates unless you gain interest on it over the rate of inflation. So, just say I choose to invest my money in something else like shares and it goes ass up. Thats a lot bigger loss than it simply depreciating in value. Besides, if history teaches us anything in this game its that nothing ever stays the same value for long, so wether you invest or not, your isk doesnt depreciate or increase in value, its the assets you buy with it that do. Saying 100m a year ago was worth more than it is now.... hmm, your wrong buddy. From what I remember, battleships are pretty much the same price (sometimes cheaper), as are most ships. Faction loot has dropped in price, as have minerals, and most mods. Its only certain tech 2 ships that have actually risen in value. So on this assumption of yours, If I had of bought billion of isk worth of minerals, billions in ships, billions in faction mods, I would now be at quite a loss. Ivesting in shares and corporations is fine if your prepared to lose alot of isk. Shares out there now are a rip off, ISS for example. If you bought them now at the price they were at time of issue, it would take years to even get your money back, and its exactly the same with most of them out there. Those that own these shares have been scammed by the BOB alt alliance ISS. , they are just too dumb to realise it. God knows how long it would take for those who bought them off the original buyers. Some prices were 3 times the amount they were worth. unless you find someone else stupid enough to buy them from you for a ridiculously overpriced amount, your at a major loss and to be honest I would rather have the iskies sitting in my wallet. Glad your not my financial advisor :( This is why im the best This one is for the Forum Mods :)
Wrayeth	Posted - 2006.06.03 16:32:00 - [176] I'm about to be dead broke. Dreadnoughts cost a lot. I have 2 billion ISK right now and about 1 to 1.5 billion in assets, not counting my siege II BPO (which I have no clue what it's worth - I got it from the lottery). -Wrayeth "Look, pa! I just contributed absolutely nothing to this thread!"
Nyphur	Posted - 2006.06.03 16:53:00 - [177] Originally by: Dentara Rast stuff I'm not going to argue with someone who twists my words. The fact is that there are investment opportunities in eve and the reward is proportional to the risk. Isk left uninvested depreciates. Eve-Tanking.com - For tanking spreadsheet and resources.
Hydraxian	Posted - 2006.06.03 16:56:00 - [178] Bout 1-1.5 bill in assets (inc. shares) and 580mill in Isk which im saving (ever so slowly) for my Thanatos/carrier skills. Apart from being awefully lucky in the BPO lottery and/or named/officer loot i dont understand how people become so rich. Ive been ratting in 0.0 for over 6months now and have yet to get a good named spawn :(
Lardarz B'stard	Posted - 2006.06.03 17:06:00 - [179] Probably 30 in assets, and 5 in cash atm. Goes up and down all the time depending on which of my alts decides to blow it all on something silly at the first opportunity. Exiles Recruitment
Shigsy	Posted - 2006.06.03 17:14:00 - [180] Wallet 100m... Assets 300m... Playing Eve... Priceless. ^not sure if anybody did this yet, skipped the last few pages
