An Unimportant Moment of Excitement

I'd like to brag about something unimportant.

For the last few days, PLEX prices have been increasing. They recently topped 500million. Speculation has run rampant. Conversations have been created and the subject has been debated.

I was firmly on the side of team "CCP will have a PLEX sale to drop the prices again".

"That makes sense."

I admitted that it had been a source of previous discussions and debates. When PLEX hits 500mil PLEX sales happen. While those who have been around longer then me will bemoan the days of 300mil ISK PLEX, I can't help them. I was born into the world of low 400's and by the time I got my feet under me prices were firmly hovering under 500million.

Today, as I log in I see this screen:

A PLEX sale. Like clockwork.

Now, summer is winding down and the player base is forgetting about that terrible non-eve related time sink called 'Real Life'. Sure, that may be the cause.

But, I'm going to bask in maybe having a bit of a clue about something.

Finally.

PLEX can be purchased from your account login screen at eveonline.com. Please buy my shiny things on the market.

    If there really is a shadowy organisation scheming to control PLEX sales and keep the price up, I imagine they're pounding their gloved fists on their tables in frustration, scaring their white cats and shouting "Curse you, CCP!" right about now.

It was a random question that I knew the answer of. I have 'Sugar' as a keyword so it highlights green and catches my attention. This made me chuckle. Maybe I'll have to go and see what it is like to shoot a ship one day? I could not help but smile. Basi suggested that I put my Titan killmail in my bio and assert my badassery. I figure, naw. It was a roll of the dice that landed me that kill mail. It doesn't define me as a person. Bios are interesting. The idea of a biography is a way to personalize your account. You can learn a lot about a person by what they choose to put in their bio

Taboo Questions

Let us talk contentious things. What about high sec? When will CCP pay attention to high sec and those that cannot spend their time in dangerous space?  This is somewhat how the day started, sparked by a question from an anonymous poster. Speaking about high sec, in general, is one of the hardest things to do. The amount of emotion wrapped around the topic is staggering. There are people who want to stay in high sec and nothing will make them leave. There are people who want no one to stay in high sec and wish to cripple everything about it. There are people in between, but the two extremes are large and emotional in discussion. My belief is simple. If a player wishes to live in high sec, I do not believe that anything will make them leave that is not their own curiosity. I do not believe that we can beat people out of high sec or destroy it until they go to other areas of space. Sometimes, I think we forget that every player has the option to not log back in. We want them to log

TCS: Riding the Expansion

Odyssey was bound to bring changes. However, in my relative inexperience and ignorance I didn't expect the market to do all the terrible things that it did. I expected some of it. I flirted with speculation and stockpiled on various things. I understood that some prices would change but I didn't expect to stare at the window of 30+ million is CovOps frigates. The Laws of Supply and Demand are simple: If demand increases and supply remains unchanged, a shortage occurs, leading to a higher equilibrium price. If demand decreases and supply remains unchanged, a surplus occurs, leading to a lower equilibrium price. If demand remains unchanged and supply increases, a surplus occurs, leading to a lower equilibrium price. If demand remains unchanged and supply decreases, a shortage occurs, leading to a higher equilibrium price. Eve lives under these laws. Players make the items and place them on the market. Items are only worth what people will pay for them. People will
