The third and final installment in my series on the Financial System of EVE Online.

So far in this series we have already explored how the massive wars you hear about in gaming magazines are funded using everything from in game casinos to war bonds.

We have also explored how the game has it’s very own tax havens and how they were causing the same kind of issues that tax havens do in the real world.

EVE Online’s economy is so large and complex that it truly does rival some small nations, what’s more than that is that it’s system are so realistic that they can genuinely be used to model real world economic systems far more effectively than even the most expensive models used by governments, universities and financial institutions.

Part of this is by design. But it may not all be for the best.

So its time to learn how money works, and see how the market system in EVE online might have been too well designed for it’s own good.

In an interview with the founder and CEO of EVE online, it was revealed that the Marketplace in eve, (where buyers and sellers will trade items) was actually copied off the Nasdaq.

You see way back in 2002 when this game was first being developed the creators knew that enabling free and effective trade between players would be key for making the game truly immersive, as opposed to similar games at the time, that relied primarily on trading with non-player-controlled characters that would offer fixed per-determined prices.

So they needed to develop a system to make this happen.
