The title says it all. I remember, long before I had this account, back when I was first being showed the game by a friend, it was when the game was still in the Revelations II phase.
Stuff I miss from the Pre-Trinity era (serverside and clientside)
Client-Side - The old intro: It wasn't creepy, and it actually explains the backstory behind the four main factions and the collapse of the EVE Gate, but the current intro is just plain creepy. - The login screen music: It was actually kind of beautiful (the current stuff is great in its own way, but the older stuff was still better), but the newer ones with each epansion get progessively creepier. - The insides of the old Gallente stations: While they didn't have any of the fancy shaders that they do now, they had a bunch of other small details to make up for it. Holographic advertisement displays (they weren't that easy to notice, but they were there), enclosed roads full of Non-capsuleer vehicles (you could see the lights moving around from outside the tubes or whatever they were, it has been so long so I don't remember what was carrying the vehicles). - The old Reaper: It was so minmalistic looking compared to the new one, and it actually respects the part of its description that said it was the smallest frigate to still be in service (the new one is actually slightly bigger than the Rifter). - The Caldari Frigates with Red Strips on them: That says it all. Not with a llivery of being 60% red like those Tech II ships, but just a simple, Red Stripe. I forgot exactly which ships had the stripe, but they looked beast back then. I wish CCP kept the stripes on them.
Server-Side - Learning Skills (go ahead and hate me for this): You hated them, but remember that you never HAD to train them, they were never mandatory. But when you did train them, it actually made a difference which was quite noticable in the long run. They were useful while they lasted, but I guess I can live without them. This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine. |

Laying claim to Out of Pod Experience since 2007, plain and simple. Keep the trash out of Out Of Pod Experience, If it's EVE Related or deserves a Lock, it does not belong here. |

+1 for old intro, pleasure hubs -50-¦Gü+ for the meaningless waste of time and SP and bane of good design that was the idiotic and pointless meta-mechanic of learning skills.
Beyond that, the old sounds and many of the old ewar effects. Much prettier and/or with much more oomph. It almost seems like the more technically advanced they make the graphics, the less artistically appealing a result it generates and the more the sound design languishes, grows weaker and becomes less technically impressive. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

old webs, old sensor booster, old nos, old cyno, infact all old effects, but especially the way muzzle flash would light up the side of your ship and any nearby objects.
The old recons were cool too, arazu/curse before the damp/nos nerf. <3
freeform contracts, sniper fleets and old doomsdays. :) |

Oh, and old CONCORD timers. And the ricer go-faster-red + spoiler combo on the Lachesis. And Aura mocking you when you made mistakes. And direct-access buttons to various inventories. And corp hangars being treated as coherent units. And the seriffed titling font.

People will scream about this, but I used to love the ability to warp in any direction to any point in space. People could make safe spots in areas that no-one today would ever scan.
It was clearly an overpowered thing, but somehow it made everything seems bigger, and marking out your own hidey hole was a special little place. Reminded me of making a blanket fort when I was a kid.
It's actually not that different from fitting a cloak, I guess.

Oh, and multiple MWD fits. The Blackbird used to be the fastest thing in Eve, because Battleships hadn't been released yet, and no other cruiser could fit so many mids. :) |

- The old intro/backstory video.
- Some items have had their descriptions altered to allow EVE to be released to a T rating; unfortunately, some of the older descriptions (Prostitute, Pillaging 101) were quite funny.
- The original whirlpool-of-death jump animation. God, it was glorious.
- The old varied jump noises provided some welcome difference on those long trips.
- Comets with those flashy police lights.
- Among the various expansion themes, I am particularly fond of the Revelations theme.
- The old Gallente station interiors, as has been said. |

I would also like some of the old module/ammo names back. For example:
1MN Catalyzed Cold Gas Arcjet Thrusters Foxfire Rockets Firefly F.o.F. Light Missile Bloodclaw Light Missile Gremlin Rocket
I would also like the removal of the following prefixes for Meta Items: - Limited - Prototype
Those Prefixes just make the item sound worse than the non-Meta Tech I version. Remember back when the Meta 3 Energized Membranes had the name of 'Microcell Nanite'?

Aura laughing at you when you died.
The green cloud/tornado effect in Recon 3 of 3.
Widescreen mode so you could actually read combat target info clearly.
The NPC goods trade market (pre-PI)
The basic client that didn't require a top end machine to run more than one client. To that end, a stable client that could reliably run multiple sessions.
Balanced faction warfare.. oh wait...
The old Vagabond collar/wings/ears.
If I tried to make a type of coffee that made all of you happy, and you rated it, the group score for it would be about 60 out of 100. Break into 3 or 4 coffee clusters, and made coffee just for each cluster, the scores would go from 60 to 78. The difference between coffee at 60 and coffee at 78 is a difference between coffee that makes you wince or makes you happy. |

I miss the ctrl+alt zoom feature. not sure why it was removed, but it was nice when recording videos and you can point out something (like small text) so people watching the video could see it. Even though I never used it for that. Still miss it though. PI Profit Calculator: calculates your profits and taxes of any PI product depending on how you built them! |
