Yeah that makes the gold standard look positively inflationary. On average, nobody could ever get wealthier than they did on day one. In a zero sum game like that, newcomers would be condemned to poverty while wealth would inexorably accumulate in a few hands. Even worse, when those individuals who have gathered substantial amounts of wealth then unsubbed, the currency available in the game would actually fall, while the only hope for recovery would be if a lot of newbies started, lost all their money and gave up in despair.
Fortunately, we could just all start trial acocunts, give the starting wealth to our mains, then delete them to start again the next day.

Just like real corporations
Its wouldn't really work for eve I admit since any isk you carry in a ship would be blown up and theres a chance it would disappear forever with the aggressor unable to pick it up and it not entering circulation again. Still they could always get a loan.
In-game currency as an item would work better if no new currency was constantly being added. For example every new player has a certain amount of currency that comes with them and they can only get more currency from other players starting currency.
that is retarded.
I dunno, it could work right after CCP introduce that Fractional Reserve Banking expansion you hear so much about.
