Well, things are finally starting to take shape with my Titan. It’s taking way longer than I thought it would, but that doesn’t surprise me all that much. After all, I’ve been a little busy with the capsuleering project and defending myself from poachers lately to focus on it. However, I did myself a favor and got the project moving again. Of course, I had to buy Eve Online isk to make it happen, but it was definitely worth my while.

I took advantage of the deal Toonstorm was offering at the time. With the special they had running, I got a good deal on my Isk and was able to buff up my defenses. The last thing to do is try to get my Titan completed so that it can baby sit some of my assets. People are less likely to farm your shipments if there’s a hulking pile of doom watching over it.

I may as well let you know just how the buy went. Besides having the best deal available, Toonstorm also had the best delivery times of anyone I looked at and that was really important to me.

Here’s how it went:

First, I logged into the site with my secure ID, etc. That keeps anyone too curious from finding out just who I am and who I play. It’s rare that anyone goes fishing for that info, but it never hurts to be safe about it.

Next, I picked out the amount I wanted. I went for 1 billion isk to make sure that I had enough for what I needed at the time, but also not so much that I showed up on anyone’s radar. I processed a payment with my favorite credit card and gave them the info they needed to get it to me safely.

Lastly, I chatted with a rep who verified everything they needed to make sure that I wasn’t hacking someone else’s account for the buy. It’s little things like that which help me feel better about my buys. Then came the best news – I’d get my Isk in all of 5 minutes. Can’t complain about that!

I barely had time to log in and double check the situation before I suddenly had 1 billion isk coming my way. With that in my coffers it was plenty of extra cash to beef up my defense force and keep the griefers from stealing my hard earned stuff. Justice is wonderful.

Hello everyone,

I don’t think I’ll have my Titan by Christmas (huge shocker, I know…) but things are definitely moving along. Since the last time I wrote I have managed a few very beneficial alliances in-game and if I play my cards right I might actually accomplish my goal in less time than I thought. With Christmas coming up and family to shop for I have decided to hold off on buying more Eve Isk for the time being, as I have managed what I bought a month ago from Toonstorm.com pretty shrewdly and still have enough to keep moving forward on my goal. (You can read my review of their service just two posts down.) I do plan to buy some more soon, so stay tuned for more reviews and tips on how to buy Eve Online Isk safely. For now, I leave you with an excerpt from a breaking story about a massive Eve Isk scandal from the Wired Blog. These guys had balls, I’ll give you that, but I’d just as soon get my Isk the old-fashioned way–by buying it legally from a trusted source Anyway here’s the story:

“Though the truth is likely buried somewhere beneath the plethora of rumors, sci-fi MMO EVE Online is once again gripped by controversy. According to the official report, game masters responding to a player’s petition to address a glitch uncovered a network of player-run corporations engaged in exploiting a bug for unimaginable profits. Over 70 player accounts were banned, but the ultimate effects of the exploit are still being investigated.

The “bug” in question caused expensive raw materials used by crafters to be generated effortlessly, with the banned players selling these ill-gotten materials and reaping the benefits. But the rabbit hole goes much deeper. At a third-party discussion forum, an anonymous poster — supposedly one of the banned players — claims to have alerted game masters to the existence of the exploit as far back as 2004. His petitions ignored, the poster claims to have spent the last 4 years essentially printing vast fortunes of in-game currency, and alleges that many major player-run alliances in the EVE universe were also in on the ploy.” You can read the rest of the story here.

Hello everyone!

I’m a few days late on my last post but I must admit it has been busy busy busy! I’ve been gathering what I need for my Titan; and I’m instantly realizing this is one heck of a hobby. I’m not really anywhere near the amount that I need; but I’m growing a little closer everyday. I’ve got a good corp behind me and several friends who play – People are chipping in from across the universe

It’s still probably going to take me a few months even at the current rate; but that’s OK! Fun for me and of course more work-time reading material for you.

So this week is Thanksgiving as everyone and their stomach probably know. Going to be lots of fun filled time off; and that means more Eve time. So I’m happy.

I’m going to hold off on posting a review this week; money all went to the turkey and I just don’t quite need more yet in game. Will pickup later this weekend or next week where we left off.

Happy Holidays everyone!

So I’ve set out today to make what I hope is Eve Online history!

What is this amazing goal you might ask? welp I’m going to fund the building of a Titan; entirely off of Eve Isk that I buy.

Crazy – mayhaps!

Useful information comming out of this for you – Absolutely.

I really want to hit the ground running with this thing – Money’s ok right now and I think I can get a pretty good start on it.

What I DON’T want is to get scammed on an Eve Isk purchase and get really demoralized. So the executive decision has been made this week for me to buy Eve Online Isk from the same place I did last week.

I’m also going to have a longer talk with them this week about security – I’ve got to protect my investment ya know?

Ok I’m placing the order; a little bit larger of one this week I’m going for 5B for 150$. Not too bad at all and definetly will let me pickup the cormacks modified energized adaptive nano membrane I’ve had my eye on.

So here goes the purchase.
I will keep you updated just like we did last week.

1. Cash sent  – got receipt email.
2. (about 10 minutes has passed and I got my Eve Online ISK in game) No need for a phone call this time because I was already verified on their site! Wooho.
3. Going to live chat to pick their brain on security.
4. Ok just had a good ten min. chat with them; they have some pretty solid methods and have done their homework. Very impressed again with the service here!

Thanks for reading guys; next week I’m going to buy some more and we’ll get another review up; and a progress report on the Titan!
Thanks again everyone for reading!
