The market has settled enough from the Dominion expansion to allow some steady trading. Ice products have dropped in price and trade volume but the supply and demand is leveling out. Dominion brought about some serious changes to the consumption rate of oxygen isotopes due to changes in sovereignty requirements for 0.0 space. The margins for oxygen isotopes and nitrogen isotopes are holding steady.
Some traders are speculating that Tritanium prices will drop with the new expansion in June. If anything, this kind of speculation will influence the market regardless of the impending effects of an expansion so tread carefully when trading minerals.
Topava says, “We are currently trading in oxygen isotopes, with a margin of about 17 isk per unit. We are also trading Zydrine with a margin of about 50 isk per unit. These two items work well due to high trade volume. Always remember to check the market data and see how much of a product is moving.”

M.U.L.E. Welcome to Planet Irata
Written by David Savedge
Back in the 1980’s I spent countless hours sitting in front of my Commodore 64 playing the latest and greatest games available. Even though technology spins past me faster than I could have ever imagined back then, I find myself wishing for the good ol’ days. One of my favorite games from that time was M.U.L.E. Mule was a groundbreaking game that paved the way to where we are now in games like Eve Online. Mule had all the hallmarks of a true classic... balance, depth, and playability. I miss that game and those days when a rainy day was a true gift. Well...the wait is over!!!! M.U.L.E. has been re-mastered! The project is being spearheaded by the daughter of Dani Bunten one of the original developers. Please visit their website and give this great classic a try!
Here is the cover art from the original game.

Play Eve Online for Free...Kinda
Caution!! Due to the upcoming Dominion expansion the formula presented here may not be viable. Ice products could be severly effected by the changes brought about by Dominion. Care should always be taken when trading.
Playing Eve for free has never been so easy. By easy I mean putting a little time into earning enough ISK to buy a PLEX on the market. I will assume you already know what a PLEX is, if not go here. The hard way to play Eve for free is grinding missions, ratting, mining, and spending countless hours in other ways to earn your ISK. This is a noble approach but wouldn’t you rather spend your game time differently? All you have to do is spend a little real money and buy a couple of GTC’s. For those of you who claim you can’t afford it well I’m sorry, maybe you could skip a month of game subscription and then buy the GTC, then you are set for life. Give up a little time or money now and save bundles in the long run. Ok enough preamble...this is how we do it!
Buy a 60 day GTC from Deep Space Supply or Shattered Crystal
To convert the GTC into ISK in game do as follows:
Log into the game and select the pilot you wish to use.
Once you are logged on and in a station press esc. and click the convert ETC (Eve Time Code) button located on the lower left edge of the window.
Follow the prompts and enter your code.
Close the window and then open your pilot’s hangar cargo bay to reveal two 30 day PLEX.
Now you can sell them to another player on the market.
To convert the GTC into ISK in the Eve Forum go here.
Now that you have a pile of ISK, transfer it to an alternate character located in Jita 4/4.
Save half in reserve, about 250mil at current prices.
Open the market window and bring up ice products.
Do your research and pick, for example, Oxygen Isotopes. Place a buy order for as much as you can afford from your remaining ISK then once the order is filled sell your oxygen for a nice profit. For more on ice trading visit here. Once you have clawed your way to your first Billion ISK you will be able to make enough to buy plenty of PLEX’s and play for free!
Please play responsibly and always do your homework.

Wow great idea, get people to invest in ice products when ice is about to go through the sh***r after dominion. Should think a bit farther ahead.
Thank you for your comment. We may all need to rethink our approach to the Eve economy and the advice on this blog is simply opinion and based in real time. What may work today might be gone tomorrow. All trade should be researched completely before any purchase is made. That being said we agree in part with our well spoken comrade, Minerpewpew. Ice products will certainly be in flux but as to the long term outcome only time will tell.

Eve Online Forums Dominion Expansion
Here is a forum link with some decisive information on what to expect from the upcoming Dominion Expansion.

Dominion Eve Online Ice Trade
There is a rumor that high sec. Ice fields will be removed from the game with the new Dominion expansion. If that were the case it would effect the market drastically. It would also effect CCP’s game subscriptions. Believe me CCP will not sacrifice their subscription base for the sake of game content, the root of their existence is to make money. If Ice fields were removed from Empire space CCP would be discouraging thousands of players who have no desire to play in 0.0 space and may quit as a result.
Here is a link to the forum thread where the rumors about Ice Fields is being discussed.
It has come to our attention that this rumor is based on an outdated forum comment but it may still create some interesting situations in the market.

Dominion Eve Online New Expansion
Worry and even near hysteria are gripping the Eve Online community as the latest expansion draws near. The popular opinions on the Dominion expansion are rife with speculative outcomes in regards to the market. That is our main area of interest and we are putting all of our efforts into looking for the positive effects of change. No matter what the changes Dominion brings we will be scouring the forums and the game market to hopefully bring you some ways to profit.
