I currently have 700.3Bn ISK, an increase of 8Bn. A small increase that reflects the fact I did next to nothing for the third month in a row.
I've been playing EVE on and off since 2009. 11 years is a long time to play a single game. Whilst I would still say it is my favourite game of all time, I'm currently in a lul of motivation to play. I've been playing other things (notably Classic WoW), I've been on holiday, and just generally it feels a bit daunting to log on and do everything I'd like to do a lot of the time. This is not me saying I'm taking a break from the game, I'm not, at least, not really. But I'm not going to be promising big things for a while. I think what I need to do is just play it by ear a bit, and when my motivation returns (and it will) I'll make the most of it then.
Until then I'll log on here and there and work on the changes I want to at my own pace. As I make the changes I'll blog about it, which will hopefully feed back into the motivation.
There's a big war going on as well, maybe I'll get involved in that a bit? WWB round 1 was fun.
Sorry, not a grand update, but that's just the way things are for me at the moment.
I have 4 accounts, with 11 characters dedicated to trading:
Sobaseki Seller
Not much to report here, has continued training trade skills, but I haven't expanded the items sold. Currently has 3Bn in sell orders.
Jita Buyer
This is a character that sits in Jita and contracts items to my other characters. This character has little training, and mostly buys from sell orders and contracts the items to my other characters. I tend to have this character logged in to act as a real time price comparison whilst checking my other characters orders. This character also manages my long term investments, though that doesn't take much work. I am putting excess ISK into this venture, and watch delonewolf's EVE Talk to get ideas for things to invest in. Currently holding about 195Bn in orders and investments. A lot of this money will go to Sobaseki and Tash-Murkon.
Amarr Seller
My main money maker, with ~141 Billion in active sell orders at the time of writing. Takes implants and faction/deadspace modules delivered by my Rens character and sells them in Amarr.
Dodixie Seller
Very similar to the Amarr seller, he sits in Dodixie, takes receipt of items, then set up sell orders. Currently has 127 Billion in sell orders. No news with this character.
Rens seller/Hauler
Like the other characters, this character takes items bought in Jita and sells them in Rens. Currently has 133 Billion ISK in active sells. He also hauls my goods from Jita to the other trade hubs in a Crane.
Hek Seller
Like the other high sec seller characters, he sits in a trade hub in Hek and sells items brought to him by the Rens seller. Currently on 67Bn in sell orders. Needs to pay for his own PLEX every month, which isn't too difficult.
Amarr station trader
Sits in a player owned Fortizar in Ashab, buys from buy orders and sells through sell orders with a range of 1 Jump to cover Amarr. This character trades completely different items to the rest of my characters. I gave this character 1 Billion to start with, and he's currently on 19.1 Billion.
Jita station trader
My more serious station trader. I have a character in Perimeter in a player owned Keepstar, with 0.5% broker fee that sits in one station, buys from buy orders and sells through sell orders with a reach of 1 jump.
Most of my items are bought and sold in the Jita 4-4 station. This character trades completely different items to the rest of my characters. I gave this character 10 Billion to start with, and he's currently on 64.5 Billion. I spent the time to get faction and corp standing up with this character, and this is my attempt to take station trading seriously. He also farms SP and sells injectors on the market.
Horde Station Trader
Station trading in the Horde Keepstar in R10-GN. I set him up with 1Bn and he's currently at 11.7Bn.
Tash-Murkon Region trader
I haven't touched this character, though all of his orders have come down. One of my challenges will be to set up a new quickbar for sales and get some items to sell from Jita or Amarr.
Manufacturing Character
Nothing has happened on this character recently. I want to ramp up my build queue a bit.
Sobaseki Seller
Not much to report here, has continued training trade skills, but I haven't expanded the items sold. Currently has 3Bn in sell orders.
