EVE Online fans with a penchant for understanding all things economy in the game will want to check out the latest Quarterly Economic Report. The QEN features all the economic news up to and including the end of 2010.

This quarter was an unusual one for EVE Online for several different reasons. Starting at a slow pace, it quickly jumped into overdrive once the details of the Incursion expansion started to become clear. The introduction of a new salvage ship (the Noctis), removal of learning skills, and excitement about the final release of the Incursion feature in January all contributed to a very active Q4 of 2010. So active, in fact, that we saw the daily trade value record increasing twice in December, ending in an incredible 1.8 trillion ISK’s worth of trades in a 24-hour period, in more than 1.2 million individual trades – and this is only on the main EVE market, not taking into account contracts or direct trade between players.
