"The total amount awaiting you is 6,361,207,033,654 which I have been told can be traded for at least one full month of time in New Eden, if not more.* Please return and take this ISK off my hands. Spend it on PLEX. Spend it training new skills. Indulge in a night of reckless abandon. Having 6,361,207,033,654 ISK in my bank and not being able to spend it is torture. Please save me from this fate."

My reaction was pretty much :-O

I spend 2hrs dling and patching the game, to find out I didn't have 6.3tril. I had 636,120,703 ISK. I still bought a PLEX anyway, cause... why not? Gotta love that system. But wtf is up with them lying like that? It's not the total cost of all my assets, it's def my total isk because the numbers match up perfectly... just with a few more 0s. 636mil is alot less than 6.36tril.

There is no way they could accidentally do that, that was definitely deliberate. Wtf CCP?

they said it was a typo on the official forums..everyone got that erroneous email

but did it get you back in the game?

that's the important part :)

Not really. I got my Apoc podded that's been perfectly fine for 2yrs tonight.

And I sold a whole ton of BPs I had laying around.

But, I probably won't keep playing. I don't really like the game. I might keep it around for s***s and giggles though as long as I can make enough ISK, playing every once and awhile, to keep buying PLEX. When I say I don't like the game, that's personal opinion. I think it's a GREAT game, but I don't like it. Off an on for 6.5yrs now.

See... I call BS on that. They have been marketing like crack dealers here recently and it got me back in, so it's going to get at least a few people back in. I've gotten emails in the past, from all 3 or 4 of my accounts and just deleted them till tonight.

Well... I did try the 5 day free pass about 6months ago.

Haha, awesome story, even if it was a misprint on CCP's part.

From what I've read on the eve-o MD forums, the richest Jita megatraders only have about 1 tril in their ISK accounts, so 6.3 tril would be quite a feat.

Yeah mine was like 111,352,068,391,057 ISK and I knew that couldn't be right obviously. I was like, those investments must have worked out better than I thought! I could fairly easily pay for my game time via ISK, but I really don't think I want to be bothered. I ran my course with EVE and have moved on. I don't think that I could invest that much time and effort into it again. It's really a life-sucker if you really want to get into it...

Weird, I got the same awhile ago and it had the right info...If I saw those numbers there I would have prolly peed a little.

lol.. I got the same thing yesterday.  I had played eve from beta to August of 2008 and haven't gone back.  It says I have some ungodly amount also.  I know I had about 6 billion when I left. 

CCP know excatly what they are doing.  They have been pulling that crap for years which is just one of the reasons I left.  Anyway, not going back and my stuff is already spoken for, sorry :)
