            It wasn't 8-0 btw. I ended the match with 6 players and that automatically means a 3-0 loss ^.^ : Bamii

    Yeah it is. But seriously: € 14.95 = $ 20,53. This is getting silly. : [7]kami

      that's for damn sure. but that's just the price we pay for the privilege of not living in the states. : AbortedFetusChristi

          i just looked into it... clever bastards, here's what they did:
          
          Allow players to purchase time-cards and post them securely for a sort of in-game auction. ISK never leaves the system, its just that players are buying ISK from other players via subscription cards.
          
          I think its pretty much awesome lol. Since its secure and the real-world-money goes into subscription cards, it essentially denies gold-farming/selling companies like IGE a significant chunk of their customers.

    Not really. I bet Valve sold a lot more Orange boxes due to the price in Europe. They charged in dollars. : [7]kami
