Hey guys, I was wondering can you transfer ISK/AUR to EVE Online once the game is fully released. Been wanting to play EVE for a while, but it's just a thought. Is there any real news for it? Been reading mixed discussions here an there on other forums.
If you must know, I will be saving up for implants in EVE, if this is possible  |

iirc it was mentioned that it will be several months after release before isk will flow freely between the games.
They are introducing stuff like that in baby steps |

20th May CSM Minutes wrote:The discussion then turned to when the economies of the two games would be linked.
Two step expressed some concern about the DUST prices being very cheap to EVE players.
CCP said they are also concerned about this, and they will have levers to control some of the money flow, including taxing transfers, changing item prices or changing ISK rewards in DUST. The issue of making guns cost as much as a frigate was brought up, and Seleene brought up the relative prices of guns, shoes and his ships.
Two step pointed out that guns were small, and it costs more money to make things little. With the recent expansion of the DUST beta, CCP is now starting to look at the relative burn rate of guns versus a ship in EVE, and can start to balance that out more.
The CSM was concerned about anyone's ability to predict what will happen once DUST is live on TQ, because nobody has ever done anything like this before.
Two step: You have the risk of setting up EVE players as gods in DUST because they have this giant pile of money. Or if I am a serious DUST player, I could start an EVE account and run level 4 missions or whatever because I can make ISK faster than I can make it in DUST.
This is the only talk I've seen about merging the economies. So CCP is concerned about the consequences and as of May was still looking at the details. They clearly have a lot to consider, and as Two step points out, if it were simply opened up to EVE money right now, EVE players who also play Dust would never have to worry about money again, which isn't in the best interest of the game. |

ISK eventually, as others have already answered. However I doubt AUR will ever flow between the two. You can't even transfer AUR between characters on the same account in EVE. |

IMO you can make isk so much faster in EVE (even if you are just starting), that transferring isk from Dust -> EVE will be a waste of time and effort for you.
Start an EVE account and let the isk flow the other direction:)

Trust me, I know. It's so much faster (reading stuff here and there), but I need to get myself a better computer one of these days  . This will be my starting capital when I can finally get into EVE. |
