Remembering when i was podded by MOO. They deployed mass containers and mass drones so i had a 1 minute lag on a gate i was flying too. After that lag was gone i just saw my pod and that fire...
Also remembering stealing a dominix from the CEO of an pirate corp whilst podding him with a smartbomb.. (in early time it was an option to exit ur ship before it got destroyed..)

I think the few that i remember of the days of 2005 would be 1st. getting my cormorant and then going to jeni and rat there with some random guy i ran into in a belt and second when i bought my first ferox after being in an osprey almost all my eve life. then fitting it with "malkuth" launchers thinking i was the bees knees. Now im doing lvl 4s in a battlecruiser/command ship and making more money per day than i did in a month back then

I remember my first trip to 0.0 and getting blown to pieces by the Short bus squad, I remember seeing my first carrier, down in S-u, owned by Remedial, goons had only been about 4/5 months at this stage.

Edited by: BiggestT on 07/09/2009 13:02:10 I remember when it was Armageddon day on the test server, everyone was given 450mill skill points and high sec was changed to null sec.
CCP stormed Jita with 4 titans
I still have a dread km from forge region...
Heh, the demmand to get on was huge, there was a 100 page threadnought about "I survived Armageddon day" coz the lag was so bad and no one could log on (CCP didn't expect such a turn out I assume!) EVE Trivia EVE History

Aah yes, the memories of looking around the EVE world, Rancer, old man star and such weren't as they are now.
Blindly following the autopilot route and having to slowboat every last 15km in a shuttle..
Doing our best for the out-of-game alliances like Coalition of Free Stars, Curse Alliance, Foundation and so on.
Cruise kessies, chaining NPC's was easy..
Setting up BM's from and to gates during 0.0 <-> empire runs with convoys of haulers. No fleet mechanics yet, just gangs... so nice those days :P .. ... .... .. .... .. .-. --- - .- -. .- -.- .- A bullet, Laser beam or Plasma charge may have your name on it..... A Smartbomb or Shrapnel is adressed "To whom it may concern"... |

I remember buying a 2 run Maller BPC on escrot back in the day and grinding level 1 missions to buy the ore to make the ship.
Then after getting my Maller doing level 2 missions for months just hoping to get the agent offer for one of the social skillbooks I could sell for like 60 million back then. Got the book, bought an Apoc and started doing level 3.
Tired of missioning joined a corp and tried to fly my Apoc to 0.0 space so I could rat. It got destroyed at a gate camp that wasn't there 5 minutes earlier when my friend flew threw it. Grrrrrrrrr.
The rest is history. ----

i remember the time i got on right around DT to fly to H8 in 0.0 to pick up a ship i bought on the old contract system.... Man i remember still twitchin at work later, from the experience..... It was my first Thorax cruiser, i waited 3-4 days to go get it, mid week flew down before, returned after....
i remember mining in Neziel in a Megathron, when 2 cruisers showed up, most of my party ran, but i seen that their missiles couldnt hit me because of the roids, so i stayed and fought, sent one fleeing, other one into armor before i freaked out and ran....lol
yea everyone argued with me about maxing all my learning skills first.... 81 mill SPs now, it was worth it..
i remember a friend wanting to test some new cruise missile setup, and i volunteered, needed an armor tank test anyways... lost my ship from lag....lol
most of all i remember and have enjoyed making all these friends where ever i have gone, be it high sec or 0.0 in the 5 years i have been playing -----------------------------------------------

I remember M0o camping the system right next to the newbie systems. People flied in there in their little ibises... pop.
But I really liked it myself. Danger was close. PvP against -10's was next door if you wanted it. Small groups tried to fight them off and sometimes succeeded. It was a different game. Better in some ways, worse in others. A lot better if you only wanted to play for an hour and fight pirates.

Back in 2004 our lil alliance called 3rd Front Alliance became the first alliance to be officially recognized by CCP.
I was there, and the Jove representative Misu Baniya even said "Good day to you, Soulita" to my nOOb self. What a day that was

Oh, of course I made a screeny of that...

Edited by: Bon Hedus on 07/09/2009 17:57:23 I remember when you could sc**** missiles off on roids and stations.
Missiles also had splash damage so if you hit someone too near a station or gate, you could agro them and then get shot by the guns.
I remember the 10 drone Dominix's and multiple MWD Ravens

Crying when CCP dumped all the progress I'd made with my last beta toon, but then starting Tbear anew when the servers went live for permanent
Or the first time I encountered another player in 0.0 who had a hundred rat cans in front of him and he asked me if I wanted them....
Our first venture into 0.0 as a corp and we were all scared we'd lose our cruisers...
Getting ganked in empire by TankCEO in my no-mods ten minute old Blackbird...
Buying the 10 million isk "Jump Drive" skill book when there were no jump drives in the game (or would not be for several years!).
Meeting great people in-game, including some very blood thirsty girls...
Laughing when my first CEO started smack talking someone in local and then crying when I got ganked undocking from our home station by that players corp mates later....

I remember before starting just browsing the forums, trying to get at what this game was about; and C&P was filled with the cries of "Zeepo is a scammer!"
He was the OG scammer in my book, expert of the lab slot scam.

Back before can baiting in starter system was declared as harrasement, how the front of starter stations were masses of cans for unassuming rookies.
I, having actually run the tutorial, understood what they were trying to do, and had great fun looting cans in my Velator before rapidly running away. Then one day a Megathron who had been dropping single rounds of Antimatter L accidentally ejected an Adaptive Nano Plating II, and I, having no clue what it was worth (this was during Red Moon Rising, when T2 was still done by lottery and stupidly expensive by today's standards), picked it up and ran.
The Mega pilot smacktalked me in local for the entire 15 minutes before my aggro ran out. ----------------------------------------------

Quote: Anyone got any good memories from days past?
Ahah, do I! I remember spraying my neighbors over the fence with the hose as they tried to lay out and get tans. That was a good one they ran every direction... oh, eve memories; right, you should have said so.
Let's see... there was the time I was podded while my daughter was throwing and I had to go help her. There was the time my alliance was accused of being bob by paranoid neighbors as an excuse for attacking and taking our freshly built outpost. Good times...
I also remember the Amarr stations looking like some kind of non-planar Christmas tree nightmare winking on and off and generally spasming when you approached.
Hooray for cleaned up models and graphics!

Probably not the direction you wanted to take this thread but, I remember Christmas day, 2006 or 2007, being ganked in 0.0 somewhere while ratting and being 'invited' to their TS server to sing 'Good King Wenceslas' as ransom... :)
Actually turned out to be a lot of fun!

I got a worlds collide level 1 in lowsec, jumped in with my caracel and cleared the first room, found out the gates were locked to cruisers and up, went back to highsec got my kestrel went back and completed the mission, thinking that it was rather easy why did everyone say it was a hard mission. blissfully unaware of how lucky i got that there was no one to kill my caracel that first time I went in. I don't know if that was on my first or 2nd character. right around xmas/new years 06/07
reading about that one super big corp theft and podding bit that got a big article in one of the gaming magazines and thinking no way am I going to play a game where I can get killed and lose days of training, although I didn't understand the eve concept of skill training, I was playing a game where a death could wipe out a few hours of xp training, and basic skill training took a few hours but couldn't be wiped out. then talking to a friend who played a few years later and realizing I just had to keep a clone updated. that and just the vast corporation/alliance structures and a bit about the ship loss system and just being hooked on the idea of the game from there.
warping into the aftermath of a suicide gank... wtf why is there this much concord here
