Ally Up!

This week, I decided to hunt down some of my old friends in EVE.  It's been about two years since the last time I played EVE so I didn't expect any of my old "corpies" to remember me.  As it turns out, I'm just not that forgettable.  Instead of dissolving Lazarus Industries, which was a very real option at one point, I decided the best thing to do would be to hop into the alliance which had been organized by three of my friends of 2 years ago.  I was disappointed to find that some of my old acquaintances had left for greener pastures, including the person who has recruited me all those years ago and a few other people I had got along with rather well.  I guess it was to be expected that some things change over long absences, i suppose.  The entire operation has gone from a rather benign "survive and make money" corporation to a full out PVP alliance.  I'm really looking forward to trying out some PVP.

Only a few days left until my asteroid belt instance vanishes and I will have lost my 15 million a day income.  In the mean time mission running and mining have been building Lazarus Industries' standings and holdings.  Slow growth...will need to begin recruiting when I get around to actually forming a cohesive corporate infrastructure.

Gold Rush

At last, the end of the Great Mies Scordite Rush of March 2011.  As I said before, some mad man (or woman) has been placing insanely high buy orders for scordite in Mies an I have been mining away like mad attempting to fill these orders as they come in with mixed results.  Elbow to elbow like pigs at a slop bucket, we miners have been as we repeatedly stripped Mies of it's, fairly common, resources.  Great money was made but, alas, it is over.  I'm finding easing back into a less competitive form of mining a bit dull, I must admit.

I have developed a new get rich quick scheme which has probably already been done.  Instance mining has turned out to be somewhat profitable, pulling in around 15,000,000.00 ISK per instance.  It takes around 2 hours, but for noobs like me, it's totally worth it.
