:yay: Yes, the title says it all. Believe it or not. But I only deposited once 30 $ in the last 6 months because my best friend from college Obsidian was in Italy for 4 months and I took 300 peds from his character when he was gone. And whats funny is that when he got back after 4 months,I didnt need to deposit in order to pay him back 300 peds, because at that time i had nearly 20 Korss400 s in my storage stocked:laugh: I dont know, maybe giving away peds is harder than a mere 30$ from the paycheck. Because I earn the peds harder.

And because of this i dont count that as a deposit because I was not 0 in peds. Have a strong storage now and luck is sometimes on my side. I am sure I will never deposit again if MA doesnt put me in a dry spell for 15 days.

But I cant have fun most of the time(NO, I dont sweat) maybe when I have more than 500 peds, then I go out and kill something just for the adventure.
Most of the time I am stressful and nervous and always checking my ped card.:scared:
 
I do have to say congrats on this one! :)
 
Nice one, Gratz :) Nice to see this among the constant whinning fest on EF..
 
Well what did I do in these months? Let me think:scratch2:
February2007: Camped on bristles ın TI every night with a team mate in hopes of finding lvl3 tp chip,gremlin harness,some good armor,esi,korss400.
5k ammo each and 2-3 runs each day and 6 days a week. opalo+gnome+fap-50+6b plates.
some nights break even,some nights profit. But i must accept although you get less skills in defense when teamed up,losses are halved and doubling the chance of a global. Result was a good month but no decent loot,no ESI either:eek: after thousands of Bristles.
March2007: Still camping on bristles and a nice HOF of 777 peds(lucky7)!
It has also a great story:We were on the 2nd run of the day and we tossed in to a big group of them. Nearly 40-50ish group.And as we cleared them and moved to the centre of the group, our medium ammo was gone. Anyway got some 300 handgun ammo looted and i had a korss400 as a panic weapon with me i shot them. Still there was one left(old). So i started shooting that with my 30 ammo of emikS30(L) :silly2: and my team mate with the remnants of his tt sword. Voilaaa!!! the HOF came.But we battled till the last with our hands and teeth i must say:wtg:
All good month after all March and stocked lots of Korss400s. We had a system of sharing the korss400s because our goal was stocking 20 korss each and next camping to Cersumons(bad idea-i will tell later). In the team hunt sharing the korss400 if u are not gonna sell it is very very hard. Even with your childhood friend. Because this is no playground and this is real money.:rolleyes: Anyway when we get a for ex. 60 ped Korss400, he took it and we wait for the next one. Next korss400 is 70 peds for ex., then I take it but write "10 ped more" as a side note. Then when we loot another Korss400, he keeps record of its tt and so on so on. We split all the other loot evenly.
April 2007: Enough of Bristles.Shit they wont give that esi or tp chip and I dont believe they are even capable of looting it anymore(I dont think they drop) Only Gremlin harness we got 1. So moving along to Cersumon but I realised I also need at least a Ghost set with my 6b plates.DAMN!!!:scratch2:
 
part2:What I did?

Tried some but couldnt kill them as efficient I thought, also had some arguements with my team mate, so I was alone.:rolleyes: Well, I started that month with camping on berrys because I was annoyed with their 5-6k ish HOFs and I thought:"well,Eddric...Get that lottery and buy the ghost and a nice plates set(5b:ahh:) Sooo,I started killing chickens N of Zeus. Goddammit they were f**ng boring!!! And at month some guy made a 6k HOF near 30m. of me off a Berry mature.:( I got many many small globals out of them and at that time my mob triangle theory began to take shape. When I did 2k-3k runs on these small mobs like molisk-berry I %80 of the time broke even or did a profit. So the month ended.
I was totally alone in the Soc Vault13 as few ppl online or not at all. I camped on both berry-molisk-caudas (Zeus-Medusa-Twin P. Mall)
Target Goal was: -run the economy loot and loot a Vigi Harness- simply.
Well looted 10 s of goblin harness-rikerUL2s-Korss380s(TwinP.M. Faux) but no Vigi Harness. Oki but my Korss400 s were still in my storage. Sold 2-3 of them and bought 6a plates in April as preparation for bots( I was able to take down drones with shogun+5c, but sold 5c s later) All in all, this was a month with sweet and bitter moments.

May2007: Mob triangle continued with success, started enmat mining at the same time. Mining is a profession I always wondered to get in. And I have done some research runs from the start of my EU career(Dec.2006), so places of high markup ores and regular enmat began to take shape. Bought the other parts of Gremlin except gloves,Completed my Kobold set some looted-some bought. At the end of this month, I started camping on Allophyls.
Limnadian was my place for them. But I discovered an Island where there were young-Old Allos except the hunting place of Allo campers which is near tp. Dıd many globals there,and pulled off berrys from the list forever.

June2007:Molisk-Allo-Caudas were my main targets now. Couldnt get any decent item I have hoped for, not even an ep-41. But molisk and allo looted me an incredible amount of 27 esi s this month which I think few could achieve. They were all 15-20 pedish but thats cool.
July2007: I got married and gone for honeymoon,preparations,etc. very few EU nights. But my Soc members were schocked when I logged in to EU before the very few hours to the wedding.:laugh: I tried as hard as I could to play.
August2007: Sometimes 2-3 globals,sometimes none.But I understood the more hours I stay in EU in a particular night, I mostly recover in another run, breakeven or profit. Because I have the chance to always make another hunt run and do well,but if u play for 1 hour, your chances are very slim,your decision must be lucky one: YOU JUST HAVE 1 SHOT,if it isnt the right one, you log off with a minus. So I learned if I have very small time in EU that day, I drop 50 bombs in my favorite mining areas or check the auction. No hunting.
Also took out F**g Allos out of the list as they loot very bad this month, I added Feffs to the list(more Korss400 s are welcome:ahh:) They are not bad, not bad at all. :D BUT I dont hunt at Fort Fury,no no... I dont like seeing another hunter take my global,just hate that.
Anyway,Good luck everyone. And who knows, maybe I will fall into a dry spell and open a whiner's thread next week. But I honestly don't like the idea of whining and know how you are tired of whiners.

Take Care,

its not so hard t oservive in EU whit out depositing
i never deposited 2 and after 7 month got better skills & looks then monthly depositers .. just a matter of u luck

and u surely have those people that hof they'r 1st month of playing :p

( but i never hoffed :D )
 
Amazing that you have gone so long with out a deposit. My Hat off to you
 
I wondered what this was doing under achievements ....it's actually is a very cool one, and a nice story to go with it.

Gratz :)
 
.... I Wonder !!!!

Well .... all these stories about almost getting "rich" without deposit.... and then on HUNTING..... its like a fairytale !!!

It´s a well known fact ...that MA "rewards" noob´s to make them play on - (addicted) ... and not saying that its impossible to prosper within the EU without a deposit.... (one´s or monthly)

BUT .... its not gonna happen on hunting - UNLESS your one of the luckiest person´s in EU .... ! Would be like walking into a casino (EU-translation) .... without no money and then win the Jackpot ! !!!

If you do other things like sweating/trading (A LOT) - and be very very ECO .... yes then i believe u can do well. But anything else in here is a bit of gambling.

This is not to put down anyone who achieved this "mission impossible" - i take my hat off for those :)

but the majority (99,6%) estimated .... wont last with no deposit (or small like 20-50$) for 6 months. by doing normal activities.

There will be good days and bad days (or weeks) :mad:

If u can stockpile 20 Korss 400 ..... id say your a VERY lucky person. Your avg. loot must around 257% in return or so :yay:

Myself: yes i did deposit in my first 4-6 months .... trying to figure how it works .. and mainly i bought up BP´s etc. ... .and did a lot of TRADING (resell if u want) *no flaming ;)

by that point ive had a few global´s and hof´s .... lucky ?? As h*ll if u ask me.... but also a matter of beeing realistic to your effort. I didnt (and still dont) hunt Large mobs which i can hardly kill without a lot decay/fapping..... i dont mine with monsterAMPS .... and i surely dont go for 100 click on OA103 ...even though it might bring me 5-6 globals and a nice hof..... but the chance of ending such a run with a massive LOSS is also (VERY) present. :scratch2:

I havent made deposit for a VERY long time now.... Im near to 3+ years in here :yay: .... but through good (and also VERY BAD) times.... TRADING will always be the key to "survive" .... TRADING is a lot harder now than when i started ... Just look in PA/Twin or anywhere.... 90% of all ppl. selling are "resellers" .... and some even VERY harsh. One day in PA i saw a guy offering to buy enmatter/ores .... (many do that).... but as example .... he paid 115-118 for Belk 122 Blaus which at that time were around 130/145 for each ..... I think thats not fair to those ppl. who desperate are in need of PED ... and feel they have to let go for those redicilous prices..... (can name a lot other things) .... Of course they are free to sell on auc. - or stand in PA/TWIN for 6-8 hours waiting for a decent offer.... !

And not to mention SCAMMER (yes i know ugly word) ...but like IRL ..they are present. Got scammed myself in my early days.... so ive learned (wasnt that big but still)..... Ive had a lot of laughs after that.

One good was a guy in Twin who wanted to buy my Nemises set ... offering 1870 .... in the exchange he put PEC in the window ..claiming they showed as PED in his side of the trade window :D

And the usual "armor upgrade" - armor coloring ....etc....

How good we get a Makeover of our avatars now .... and a FREE Armor FACELIFT :yay:

Just wish u all Entrepreneurs of EU .... GL and may u prosper they way u deserve.
 
still struggling not to deposit, but I have many things to buy. 5b's,marber bravo,beast amp,a105.My storage is in ruins atm.Loot has been very bad for me lately,but doing 100 probes of enmatter runs instead and doing fine. Not gaining peds or losing them, just skilling free most of the time. Fine by me.I usually try Amathera -Wolverine Hope,or Eudoria near every water,coastlines.

but i think I will deposit if I dont get a HOF because I HAVE to buy those 5b's there price is f***g great!!!
