The newbie asks, "How do I make isk, if not by carebearing?" But there are countless ways to earn an honest living in EVE. For example, as Agent Ryan Ahashion has demonstrated, many courier contracts contain items worth more than the collateral.
Sometimes hundreds of millions of isk more.
Or consider the loot drops from ganks, such as one performed by Agents in the Gate Tax Collection Agency.
In addition to the loot itself, there's always the possibility of additional payment.
As you can see, isk need not be generated through PvE. The question remains: What should EVE players do with the money they make? New Order shares continue to be an outstanding investment.
After you've purchased a bunch of shares for yourself, why not buy some shares for a friend or friend-to-be?
Ngoq TlhamChu' ChutEnforce joined the ranks of the New Order shareholders with a purchase of 500 shares. His purchase was made extra special when it pushed us past the 1 trillion 56 billion isk mark and earned him a Supreme Protector's Tip of the Hat™.
Bingmail incoming!
The inimitable Agent Bing Bangboom is a Rock of Highsec, a symbol of the continuity of New Order rule over the past four years. Generations of EVE players have grown up in highsec under Bing's watchful eye and have benefited enormously from his instruction. Can you imagine what those people would be doing today, if they'd never met Bing Bangboom? Probably something dumb.
Bing commemorated his four years of Code enforcement with a purchase of 4,000 more shares. This sent us over the 1 trillion 57 billion, 1 trillion 58 billion, 1 trillion 59 billion, and 1 trillion 60 billion isk marks and earned Bing a Quadruple Supreme Protector's Tip of the Hat™.
The CODE always wins!
ReplyDeleteAlways!
Hey Bing! As a relative youngster (2013 intake) I salute your tireless efforts to bring James' vision to the Highsec idiots. You're one of our elder statesmen now - and a damn good writer to boot.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 4 year anniversary; have a drink on me. 'Fraid it'll have to be tea though...
Cheers!
Happy Anniversary, Bing, and thank you for the generous donation. Thank you to all the donors. Ngoq TlhamChu' ChutEnforce, you rock!
ReplyDeleteOK total noob question. Can you see what you're hauling before accepting the contract? I thought about doing the contracts thing, but I can only ever see volume.
ReplyDeleteAw, I want to the what happened with Runha Lyzak! Were you guys able to string him along?
ReplyDeleteo7 It's been a damn fine pleasure serving with you, Bing.
ReplyDelete-Galaxy Pig
I've never seen James and Bing at the same time.
ReplyDeleteHasn't this been COMPLETELY disproven by the difference between James's humorous but ironical writing style and my humorous but self-deprecating style along with my seemingly endless supply of ISK with no discernable ability to actually make any and the last four years of me trying to fix my broken mike in Teamspeak?
DeleteWhat will satisfy you, John?
I can't speak for John, but I personally won't ever be able to let the issue lie until James makes a formal statement that he is not Bing on the blog front page. This is literally impossible though, because James can't lie.
DeleteThank you for the response Bing. Since you bring it up only 2 people in New Order history seem to have the same ongoing mic problem. You're one, wanna guess the other? Also, you have to write in a self-deprecating manner or you'd give the whole game away bro!
DeleteWhat will satisfy me? To paraphrase Kalorned, James or gtfo!
:D
Iluminati confirmed
DeleteBing, where's all that Templar treasure buried?
DeleteWe are all James alts, this is all work of just one guy. Please send me isk for my efforts as a spy. Thanks in advance.

ReplyDeleteEven with all the overqualified H.O.M.O.'s we have today, PHags would still have nothing to do all day if it were not for Agents like Bing.
PHags all over highsec salute you Bing! (That's a lot of salutes :D )
CODE kills miners, ag kills innocent RL children.
