Hey, I was just wondering what amount of isk makes people consider you to be "rich" in this game. I know it's probably a lot, maybe 500 bill and up is considered rich, but I was wondering what your opinions were.

Personally i've played for about 3 months and i have around 5 bill, but i still feel extremely poor.

In my time playing Eve I never exceeded 10 billion isk.

With my limited playtime I had all the isk I could ever want.

"Rich" totally depends on your style of play.

Edit: Like a noob I ment to say 10 Billion ISK!!!!!!!! not 100 lol. sorry.

How Many months?

Nice to know you came back

ha, well it's been an on and off thing which has totalled to around 3-4 months

i been playing for 7 months and havent broken 700mil...though of course i own 3 battleships, and a small fleet of battlecruisers all tech II fitted.............

damn me and my shipping

Ive played for about 3 years and have had at most 1.2 billion in isk, right now i have about 800 million isk, an orca, 3 battleships, 2 hacs, 2 recons, a hic, 2 BCs, a couple of interceptors and a few tech 1 cruisers. so probably 3 billion in assets.

rich= income 2x your expenses

 Have had as much as 5bil. Currently at 1bil, not a lot but it's more than enough for what I fly so I suppose that's good :)

it really depends if you hoard your iskies or spend em on toys, if you don't spend you can accumulate a lot if you grind manufacture and sell. I remember when i broke my fist 100 mil..... ah i felt like a very rich man back then... then the day i could buy a tier 3 battleship, have the cash to fit it and still have change in my wallet.... 

Rich is a state of mind in EVE rather than a state of wealth.

As long as you can afford to fly the ships you want to fly whenever you wish to fly them you are fine.  If you have enough isk to lose several and just keep buying them then you're rich.

I personally don't consider myself "rich" just 'wealthy' and I have about 2 billion cash, about another 3billion in assets and another 3 billion in investments.  Am I rich by some people's standards?  Sure... by other's I'm just getting by.

5 Billion isk and you have only played 3 months?

I don't believe you whatsoever. The only way you have 5 billion isk is if you bought PLEX cards.

No, he doesn't nor he is doing exploration.

He just plays smart and I am quite sure about the way he made his ISk :)

grind missions for the first billion, then play the market in the mission hub while grinding more missions?

seems like the easiest way to make cash to me.

I consider myself to be fine as long as I can aford to replace what I lose.

Not sure the distinction is meaningful as from an industrialist or traders viewpoint isk unused is wasted.

By that standard despite selling hundreds of t2 ship per month, 20-50 caps and several supercaps I'm poor as a church mouse.

If you don't constantly move forwards in terms of capability you're stagnant and not gaining relative to your competitors.

On the 5bn its vaguely possible I suppose with a lot of help from an established group of players but then i'm not sure thats really qualifying as your income. There are several mission runner hubs where people can do it but tbh you're just leeching then. Not sure dark glitter mining qualifies in 3 montsh and then again you'd be leeching. Trade - sorry that couldn't be your assets your trading. 0.0 ratting mmh well again at 1-3 months thats not really you its friends helping you out.

Now scamming maybe.

I disagree, playing the market is the easiest way to make cash (also to lose cash) and mission hubs make a good place to do it. and while you're there, why not grind some missions for guaranteed iskies?
