    Re: how do you pay for your accounts...

    All my accounts run on Jewgold I made mostly with trading (and abusing stupid people) a few years ago.
    Also having RL money is no reason not to use semi passive income in EvE. If you are acting as if you were smug posh boys, you should put the money you "invested" into EvE to good use in order to make more money :P

    Currently on a years real money subscription, but planing to pay with ISK from now on. Ratting = sec = jita pipe = gank = ISK. As long as I stop trading in jita when I'm too drunk to count the zeros...

    I pay with real money. I'd pay with plex but the fact that I frequently leave the country for months at a time and spend loads of time offshore means that I would likely end up with accounts unsubbing. So I avoid that

    Oh, I got to use this too. I mean, it was like $15 for 3 months, and the last time I think it was $2, so $6 for three months.

    T'was awesome while it lasted.

    The first time I really needed to pay by GTC one month (lol bills) I bought a 700M ISK Thrasher by mistake. I had less than a billion to my name to begin with.

    Took a deep breath or two, fitted it, undocked and went looking all over Jita for an AFK pod that was at least a couple years old: to maximize the chances it'd cost someone some really good implants.

    Felt much better afterward.

    Re: how do you pay for your accounts...

    Ive paid in cash most of my subscription but over the last year or so have paid with isk. Running missions for 3 or 4 hours a week gives me more than enough monthly to pay for 2 accounts and still put isk in the wallet for toys - much more if I grind for a bit.

    It might not be a lot of rl money saved but its still a few beers which > eve

    Used to pay in isk but the US dollar is tanking so I'm paying with RL monies now.

    Null sec mission alt pays for my accounts, also dabble in character trading but that's a slow burner and not as good as it used to be.

    Re: how do you pay for your accounts...

    I pay for 3 accounts with cash. The $45 I spend a month would barely pay for a round of golf at a crappy public course where I live. If I wanted to go out to eat, I'd have to take the whole family and dinner for 4 even at McDonalds is close to $40. Eve is by the far the the lowest cost $/hour of entertainment I could imagine.

    When I acknowledged the fact that I'm a bitter vet for lyfe I switched to the year plan. $11.50 or something like that a month. It's not so much acting posh as picking the most economical choice. There is something to be said about not being one of those retards that forget to get a gtc before their account runs out.

    Free account for having a Fansite. Ads on Fansite (for Shattered Crystal mainly and other legal EVE related stuff) pay for the second account. So my EVE playing basically pays for itself in RL money.

    Fansite pays for main. Alt funds herself on T1 construction, oh and handing out random buddy invites has put a couple of months on her.

    What the fuck is up, mate? Ping me in game.

    Three accounts on CC yearly/monthly payment with supplemental ISK for GTCs. I can't be arsed to play this damned game every week, and I'm not as lucky as my corpmate who finds Pithi C-Type Medium Shield Boosters all the damned time.

    Re: how do you pay for your accounts...

    Only one account to take care off, and living in 0.0 I can comfortably play with PLEXs and still keep several billion ISK in my wallet. So running anomalies and DED complexes is my main source. I also skim small cuts from other services I offer my corpmates.

    I totally agree. Eve is so low cost compared to everything else in my life. Hell, even a decent lunch is 9 euro/$13 where I live!
    The gtc/plex system is awesome. Ppl with less time and a steady rl-income can pay for the sub for players with much time but less rl-income. Win win!
