You can get credit cards with all sorts of reward plans... airline miles, cash back, gift certificates, you name it. So why not an EVE card? For every dollar/pound/etc that you spend, you get so much ISK back. Your credit card has a big EVE logo, so it doubles as advertisement everytime you flash it at the supermarket.
I know, it sounds kind of crazy, and I'm not even sure if I like the idea. But with the increasing popularlity of MMORPG's, is this something that might happen?

getting isk for buying stuff with real life cash... I'm not even going to dignify this with a response.

Yeah, sure, sounds like a great idea.
Next thing they will implement is the ISK store, 100m for $10, then everyone will be happy, right? It's simple economics!

that is strange but I guess I have room in my wallet right next to my Denver Broncos charge card.
So what a million ISK per $100.00??

There's a WoW VISA card that gives you game time as a reward.

And it wouldn't have to be ISK as the reward. Since CCP would make money everytime you used your card, they could offer free gametime. Or free subscriptions to EON. Maybe T-shirts and coffee mugs.

You could get game time based on how much you spend.... Isn't that what WoW does?

I kind of like the idea of an Eve card, though nomatter what reward it offers it would likely become my primary card heh. How about it gives you a dollar discount on your monthly payment if you pay your subscription with it?

this would actually benefit the game since it would remove the isk farmers that sells the isk....
(although personally i don't like the fact that it is so easy to sell ingame for outgame, but if the company wanted they could stop it no prob, so i gues its not wanted... well like the idea, hate the result that it would bring).
just my thought on that...

Yeah, doing the same thing as WoW with EVE would be a good idea.
Rewarding ISK would not be a good idea.

I like it. I'd get one. Especially like the idea of reduced subs for money spent.

Something about your name got me thinking, that you actually created that alt just to reply to this post??
Just because WoW has one doesn't mean that EVE shouldn't have one. It's what gets me with EVE community, WoW is a great game, people have thier different tastes. But EVE community flame it really bad like they are superior.
Well here you have it, YOUR NOT  , your just another pwn playing an MMORPG, mindlessly grinding away (like every MMO gets you doing).
The discussion aint killed, you tried to kill it you murderer

EVE Condoms would give you a pop-up warning you that you are entering low-security space. Would you like to proceed?

Well said. But I could see some merit, though limited, to tying your purchasing power to game time.

I would very much like one, as long as it doesnt generates ISK.
How about just getting subscriptiontime like someone else suggested, or points which i could use in the Evestore?

If you read the disclaimer you will see that I was at work, and while I didn't explicitly say that it's not a good idea to fly with 32 med drones when there is plenty of room for T2 heavies, I figured it would kinda be implied. Oh yeah, not to mention I only mentioned 2 modules...on a 15-slot ship...

So instead of being able to played World of Warcraft, they expect me to spend $1500 to get a free month, thats a horrible deal. For the people that don't understand how the interest rate on a credit card works, if you don't pay the entire bill of the first month, you will pay interest on the interest. Do that a couple months and your $1500 will be 25% higher then it was. You end of paying alot more then $1500 in the end, which I assume when you pay off the bill, thats when you get your points. Of course I could be wrong, the details are not exactly full, considering nobody would use the card if they did.
Quote:
Accrue World of Warcraft gametime at the rate of 1% of every dollar in qualifying purchases. The World of Warcraft Rewards Visa is the only card that pays you to play.
Quote:
Thirteen variations of the World of Warcraft card design are available, including designs for all ten playable character races, as well as for the Horde and Alliance factions and the World of Warcraft logo. Players earn a reward point for every dollar charged on the card, and they can redeem 1500 points at the World of Warcraft community site for a month of play.
Quote:
Variable rates after the introductory period are as low as 9.99% APR 2.
10% APR thats alot of money....
Please don't come out with an Eve Visa, I stop playing World of Warcraft while ago, and will never play because of the move they just made.

Indeed, making isk using RL cash is bad, like.. hmm.. lemme think... buy GTC's for RL money then selling them ingame for ISK.

I tried to get an Armageddon on my Debit Card a while ago. (You can use custom pics on your Debit Cards here) But they wouldnt allow it because it was copyrighted. Wont even allow it if you get written consent from whoever has the rights for it. (Didnt try this with the Geddon, but something else, which wasnt even a picture, merely a phrase.)

draw a picture of an apoc. i *think* you'd be allowed that on your card.
although wether you'd want it on your card probably depends how cack handed you are at drawing...

Actually, I discussed this with some moderators a few days ago, EVE Condoms sounded like a great idea to me, we could name it after ships. Thorax for the normal sixed people, Apocalypse for the big people and Ibis for.. well, you get the idea...
