The realistic economy of the world's most financially complicated MMOG receives expert attention
CCP Games sent over a press release announcing the release of the latest version of staff economist Dr. Eyjólfur Guðmundsson's report which explores the distribution of pilots, price levels, and how to measure economic activity in EVE. The Q4 edition naturally focuses on the economic impact of the large influx of players brought by the Trinity expansion. A complete vision of the changes is given with in-depth studies of the mineral price index, primary producer price index, secondary producer price index, and the consumer price index. Dr. Eyjo and his team define the Gross User Product, which mirrors real-world examples and measurements for national economies and gives an overall impression of the state of the economy in EVE.
