agreed for everything tass has told you. except 1 thing. u said it was $30/month its only 15/month except first month which includes a $5 activation. one other thing u do have to pay the first month but after that if u can start making enough in game money you can use that to pay for what they call pilot liscense extensions instead of paying real money to keep playing.

So EVE takes in game money to pay for extended time playing the game? So if I could make a good enough industrialist type character to make as much money as possible it could possibly finance a second account with a more flyboy type character on it? Or potentially augment my income with FG paid for Isk and buy more time with that?

That would be highly attractive.

yes and be careful. i just today had 420 mill isk reversed from a gm from someone i bought isk for fg from. i just pmed the guy today as well so not sure what going to happen. keep in mind as well. with 1 acc you can have a max of 3 toons. only 1 can be trained or online at any given time.
