If ccp grows half a brain and installs the card game into eve, then not only will people stay for longer even more people will join and I guarantee that within 10 months that there will be atleast 1 million active players.
Ohter games have done this before for example "might and magic 7" had a great card game that added flavour to that game.
This is what EVE needs something new inside it
Or for example a beting service. For example make up some sport on some planets. The sport itself is not important but the abillity to bet is. For example have different teams and have them play which each other and then post who won. And let people bet on who will win.
Such small things would add atleast 10% new players and keep players playing for longer.
But installing the card game into eve would sky rocket subscription and keep players active for a very long time. The more things you can do and the more different they are, the longer people stay.
But since ccp uses windows-based-server-software when linux could do twice as much at half the cost then i do beliEVE that such an idea is beyond ccp limited way of thinking.

I dont know about haveing spawns droping cards. As I see it the cards would be sold exactly the same way as normal but then again...
You can buy a pack for X amount of isk each pack has a certain amount of random cards and you need so and so many to play.
The only problem would be how much should a pack be sold for.
For example a "planetary vehicle" costs 3750 isk http://www.eve-online.com/itemdatabase/tradegoods/consumerproducts/9846.asp
So a pack of cards wouldnt cost more then a few isk BUT
This would mean that everyone would be able to mass buy cards and get the rare and special ones without any problems
But if you look at eve for what it is you can see that a much higher price can be justified.
Since we eggers are at the very top of the food chain, we are the super rich, the nobility the people far and beyond the masses. A higher price can be excepted for our luxuries.
Since we can not only purchase and build but also fly huge ships on our own. Which for any normal citizen of eve is impossible and even for some gouverments. It can only be logical that we the very very very few and the very very very rich should also spend alot on our extravagant games.

You dont understand it wont be used to boost ships, it is just a game you play when you are docked at a station. A game inside them game a so called mini-game

It is not legal to sell isk for cash so there would be no problems what so ever with any state or country law.
There are no 2 ways about it, it is not legal to sell isk for cash and so no law that prevents gambling would apply. Just as when you play cards on yahoo for points.

The original post started off fine, but you just had to ruin it by throwing in some Linux zealotry BS. Oh well.
I had the idea that the card game could be integrated into the game as something to do while waiting, and the collectable cards could be added to loot and rewards. Of course, the virtual cards would be tradable in game as if they were normal items. That would be pretty fun.
Fine, I will edit it and remove the part that offends you

Yupp casions would be nice and maybe it could be a place to deliver all those exotic dancers that clutter up so many hangers.
