This is a question for any billionaires out there. How did you do it? No specifics of course as you dont want others to cut into your bread and butter.
I trade and manufacture.
If you dont feel comfortable, dont post with your main. hi |

Hard work and care.
Mind you, I don't own a double digit amount of billions.

Edited by: Reptzo on 02/10/2008 16:45:48 I sold gtcs.
I also mined for 6 months solid, 6hrs on weekdays and 12-15 hrs on weekends, and did missions after that (cause i went insane). Now i just grind 4's.

I got my first billion by doing everything, missions, ratting, mining, manufacturing, some trading with commodities in the very beginning. Now i'm doing invention and BPC selling on top of that. I like diversity, keeps me from getting bored.

Yea maybe i should have said "selling gtcs" doesnt count, as you didnt earn your money "in game". but congrats on the real life success it took to be able to waste money like that hi |

The early days of invention with Tech II still selling for 5 - 10+ million a time with build cost of 1 - 2 million. Was nice for a couple of months. Also selling previously owned deadspace loot a few weeks after the fixed plexes were removed helped a lot too.

In the past, market PvP, ratting/missioning and a little bit of production.
Now, t2 and meta 4 player loot. I have a hard time resisting bait sometimes, so I probably won't be making billions here

I made my first billion mining and ore trading.
Then I realized 1.4 bil worth of GTCs only cost me 4 hours of extra (RL) work and I could use all the time I saved not mining to go pew pew pew. ---

Edited by: Soporo on 02/10/2008 17:04:53 0.0 mining and ratting and market development out in teh boondocks.
Now I just sit around empire doing one or two missions a day and reminesce about commie pinkos like Peoke screaming at us for jacking stuff up to 15% above empire costs (reasonable, btw). Old Tiders and anyone in SMASH back in the day will know what I'm talking about.

Exploration.
Hacking and Archaeology sites made hundreds of millions per run when they first came out.
Nowadays I'm lucky to get 50m per site.

First billion was thnx to a guy who tought his implants and bpc's would be safe in a pimped nightmare travelling solo through 0.0 thnx Heikki. Second and third billion was thnx to exploration (in the beginning, now its utter shit, mining makes more). The rest is a mystery to me lets just say i would rather have them still playing but hey im rich now

There are lots of ways to make a lot of isk in game, you have to find onwe of the ways yourself, and most importantly, not tell anyone else.

First billion was mining in 0.0 for 2 months, then selling in empire. first 10 billion was also mining for 6 months on 4 accounts in 0.0 enough to get all the mins to build a mothership, then sold it for a complete set of Capital part bpo's. then built 3 more thus selling em to buy another complete set of bpo's again thus making it twice as fast making em with the help of a second CSAA. So, it's just a matter of logistics and 5 accounts to make it happen. never broke 50 bil though.

Mostly running research agents. I got lucky with a couple of T2 BPO's and then I ran my 10 agents for about 2 years without collecting, giving me a good 3b in data cores when I returned to it.

I made my first billion as an ore thief. Even though I was really good at it, it still took 5-6 months. I loved me some veldspar.

Same ole same ole as everyone else in the billionare club. Mining, missions, trading, exploration, 0.0 faction spawns, with a pew pew break interjected between each as I get burned out doing it. Keeps eve fresh and the wallet fat.

I've resisted this way to get isk for a long while now even though like you guys it would be easy to afford. However I finally might be tempted to spend some rl money selling gtc to go whole hog on the cap fleet I've been training my alts up for so as to leave my beautiful wallet untouched. I don't quite think it would survive purchasing skills then fitting out 4 dreads and 4 carriers.
