So here we are, the last post in this series presenting a concept for the integration of E-Sports into the universe of Dust 514 and EVE online. In the first post I presented the general concept whilst in the second I listed some of the possible participants in the industry that could grow up around those E-Sports. I talked about the economics of the proposed industry in the third post and listed some of the things that CCP could do to make this vision a reality in part 4.

We’ve reached the fourth post in my series presenting a concept of how E-Sports could work part of the universe of Dust 514 and EVE Online. In the first post I presented a brief summary of the concept and an introduction to some of the ideas behind it and in part 2 I looked at the various roles that participant could play in such an E-Sports industry. In the third part I looked at the economics of such an industry, covering ISK flows and a possible avenue for a Real Money/AUR economy.

In this, Part 4, of this series I will present a wishlist of tools and tweaks to current systems that CCP could implement to improve the experience of players participating in the E-Sport economy.

Hello again, and welcome to the third part of my 5 part series exploring the potential for E-Sports in New Eden, across EVE Online and Dust 514. In Part 1 I introduced the general concept, while in Part 2 I looked at the various participants and their roles. I apologise for the lack of a header image on this page, it’s quite tricky to find a picture that encapsulates E-Sports and economics.

In this part I’ll take a look at the economics and financial implications and opportunities that my vision might bring about. Now, I’m not an economist, and neither am I some sort of financial wizard. So there may be errors, feel free to correct them in the comments.

To the Dust-cave!
