Summers here, gas prices are up, and the economy is suffering both in-game and in real life. Ultimately, it is a "dogs and cats sleeping together" kind of situation for your cash flow. Jagoex over at Warlock Therapy has your wallet covered with "10 Ways Gamers Can Save Money." He is talking about all gamers about
EVE ISK, and has quite a lot to say for the console gamers, but his tips pretty much apply to everyone.
Of course, there are a few things you can do specifically as a
EVE Online ISK player to save your bank account some stress over this bleeding hot summer. 1. Buy 6-month package deals. Let us be honest. Are you really going to quit playing
EVE ISK For Sale at the end of the month? Unless you are actually about to walk out the door, opting for the six-month subscription will save you two bucks a month. That is not epic savings, but it is a few gallons of gas over the course of the summer. Take mini-vacations in game. If you do not want to pay for the gas or plane fare to jaunt off to an exotic location, you do have an option.
There are probably hundreds of places hanging out Around Azeroth you have not seen. Make a new character, and make it one of a race you have not played before. If you have a significant other with whom you can do this, that is even better -- take your partner for a special date somewhere
EVE Online ISK. Snack cheap, snack healthy. It is a two-fer. Jagoex has already heralded the beauty of water over soda as play-time fuel. I would go a step further -- grab a bag of carrots instead of junk food. Although just about everything getting more expensive this summer, your run-of-the-mill veggie will fill you as well as potato chips. Those carrots will probably be a little cheaper per-craving. The long-term health improvement will save you some doctor-time, also, and that is a big-bucks saving.
