So what currency would you suggest as payment for Dust mercs? If you use aur alone, its tied to real world cash, which is even worse.

I'm not saying don't use isk, I'm saying having a direct, unrestricted flow of money from EVE to Dust wouldn't work. It would make equipment and vehicles either so amazingly expensive that people who don't have the patronage of an EVE corp can't ever afford to upgrade, or it would make those things so trivially inexpensive that there is not any incentive for Dust mercs to compete and win, because a bored EVE player could just dump a billion or ten on them and that's it, they can afford everything they want for a long time.

I think having pre-defined contracts would work better. That is, you can only pay in specific allotments. Maybe they could even have it so that paying for mercenaries in Dust might cost you much more than it earns them. Either way, they need some way to curtail the ability for Dust players to earn money when interacting with EVE players, otherwise the entire thing gets fucked.

I already said that isk is fine as a currency. The point I thought I had made was that allowing isk to move into Dust from EVE in an unrestricted form would be completely disastrous to Dust's economy. Merc contracts will have to be set at pre-defined amounts which allow a controlled amount of money to be given to Dust mercs. Otherwise, EVE corp A makes a contract for their Dust alts which reward them with trillions of isk and instantly isk becomes essentially irrelevant for their Dust alts, and the game loses its starch.

Anyway the game is expanding its beta tomorrow and if you want guaranteed access you can buy a $20 pre-order bundle off of PSN which gives you some exclusive stuff, $20 in Aurum (the game's real money currency) as well as beta access.

These PSN Voucher codes are only good for access to this weekend’s closed beta, which runs July 26th-30th.

Also in my mail was:
*Note: These PSN Voucher codes are region-specific and can only be used by players in Europe, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.

The answer to the question may in fact be a word other than yes.

Anyone who plays during this weekend for the first time should read the beta forums and familiarize themselves with the KNOWN ISSUES that you may find annoying. There may or may not be some bugs and strange features that allow for cheap or frustrating play in some instances.
