As the title says it, what's it called? The pound has pence, the euro has cent, the dollar has something, what about ingame isk? Does it share a name with the real world isk? Does real world isk have a name for it?

A few ISK is enough to feed a planetside family for months.
I personally wouldn't spend an isklet on a stick of gum.

I like Isklet. I like how I was sitting here typying up a comment earlier but decided not to and deleted it,  woulda been the first response too.
It had something to do with how isklet sounded a bit too cute since Quote:Money is the root of all evil. |

This. You have no idea how valuable one single ISK is, which is why 300K of them can buy you a frigate, etc.
I could live the rest of my life comfortably in peace with the mediocre 16 Million I have left to me. If I sold all of my assets I could live like a king.

But I've seen a few gallons of water in EVE. They cost more than a few ISK. I think an ISK is worth approx. 0.5 USD. That would put a cheap scrambler pistol at about $750 USD, which is quite reasonable.

Does this matter I'm pretty sure this has been established in terms of cannon.... now I don't know about you but I'm pretty sure ships in EVE use measurements of weight in terms of tonnes.

So according to wikipedia, the Icelandic ISK historically would call 0.01 of an ISK an "eyrir", with plural being "aurar". Though the latter is very similar to 'aurum'. |

If a single cubic meter of bottled water costs as much as you say it does, how does anyone survive planetside. I have a hard time believing such a small amount of water costs somebody a couple months of income. That doesn't make any sense at all.

You call it an investment strategy.
"When the sub routine compounds the interest is uses all these extra decimal places that just get rounded off. So we simplified the whole thing, we rounded them all down, drop the remainder into an account we opened."

I'm pretty sure they don't sell water in singular cubic meters.
Perhaps amongst Immortals water is vastly more important consumable, or perhaps like in reality people pay their taxes and bills and water is essentially accessible by them at any time.

I don't remember where this was written, but I believe that the estimated value of ISK to local currencies is something like: 10,000 ISK represents the amount of wealth an average person will accumulate in their entire lifetime.
And I believe they are also called isk cents (or just, cents), being a generic term for 1/100 of something. |

A lot of the trade goods pricing in EVE is totally irrational. As is the back story in EVE that the capsuleer economy is starting to supersede the economies of the empires.
It's completely nonsensical on multiple levels, enough so that it drops me right out of the immersion. |

Or perhaps in a world where corporations have gone amok drinkable water really is a very rare commodity. |
