I've seen a few threads here and there about people providing webspace for eve related content (Killboards/Corp or Alliance sites etc.) in exchange for ISK.
I'm not very clear on the rules when it comes to this but is it allowed?
I've seen ISK for TS/Vent services etc. so i would assume so, but just wanted to see if i am right in assuming so.

If the site is hosting Eve related content, then yes, ISK transactions are allowed.
If the site is not hosting Eve related content, then no, it would be outside the EULA.

Not to be a pest or anything, but I really would like to see some GM clarification on this. I understand how that would be acceptable, but on the other hand trading ISK for non-ingame items or GTC's should also cover services rendered outside the game for whatever reason. If CCP is going to allow JoeWebdev to charge ISK for building websites for his EVEBuddies this is a breach of their own EULA is it not? -=^=-

The big thing would be the content on those websites. CCP has allowed things like TS/Vent, Forum Sigs, and such to be bought with isk as long as its EVE-related. Hosting websites/designing websites would also fit under that as long as they would be EVE-fan site or corp/alliance websites. Its not official but I would consider your self pretty safe since CCP takes a common sense look on it from what I have seen. -----------------------------------------------

Originally by: CCP kieron 1. Only sales of In-Game items for In-Game ISK is permitted in this forum.*
*This has been extended to include Characters, EVE Time Cards (ETC's), Website hosting and Teamspeak Services.
It is just how they define "in-game". Websites, such as eveinfo.com can be concidered "in-game" tools even though they do not work with the in-game browser, because they provide information that is used to enhance your game play.
If someone started to push the edge, then the GM's might tighten up the policy. An Eve banner alone does not make a site Eve related. Providing kill boards, NPC/item/agent databases, maps, route planners, calculators and other such tools that are obviously Eve specific are all concidered to be game-related services.
If you really can't tell the difference than ask a GM through a petition.
Basicly you can only trade ISK for in-game items and game-related services. Out-of-game items, such as cakes and models that I have seen talked about on the forums are not allowed even if they are eve related.

Edited by: Christari Zuborov on 12/10/2007 16:50:39 I don't have anything against people doing this type of stuff, but I don't think it's acceptable.
You're talking about the purchase of an outside service that has real value, for in-game currency that has in-game value, but isn't backed as legal tender. Potentially, if allowed, CCP could be possibly be involved as a 3rd party in a lawsuit as the "banker" for the transaction. This in itself isn't illegal, but they would have to expend resources to provide information required - thus it's just safe to say no, not allowed and save themselves possible headache.

That is what they do not allow. They only allow the purchase of a game related service that has NO real world value. It only has an in-game value, thus there is no problem with using an in-game currency. As soon as the provider claims or offers any real world value to the service, it can no longer be part of an ISK trade.
