"Ehh... wh...what's that Billy? Why back in my day we didn't have them fancy Titans! Or dem jump bridge majigger's.."
So yeah. While I sip my prune juice you other old farts get in here and talk about the good old days! Like M0o (they made me into a Pirate after I died to one of their gate camps) or B0B vs G00ns. The ORIGINAL Goons. Not this bloated heap of wannabe kids on forums but the REAL ones!
The underdogs who fought Sir Molle and were cheered on (oh how oblivious we all were back then). How about Farjung? Anyone remember him? Waves Of Mutilation? It's why I have a hard on still for the VIndi to this day
So go on! Refresh my liver spotted memory. You got a good tale? A memory that sticks out to you? post it before you fall asleep again you old coot! |

Hello. I have been in my corp for so long, that I am practically a NPC.
Once, you could eject from ship after initiating warp and the ship would head off on its own. Mr. Science & Trade Institute, EVE Online Lorebook-á |

No warp to zero on a gate, you had to slow boat from 20 km away. Some people made fortunes selling the bookmarks for every gate in high sec. |

/fart You may gain the knowledge, but you will lose your belief, with all its mystery and comfort. If there was proof, absolute and certain, there is an afterlife, why not quit this life, and be done with it? Ponder about these things all your life, and you're a philosopher. Compress these ponderings into a couple of pages, and you'll go mad. |

I remember back in my day,
most kill mails had a Drake, or Hurricane on it.
We had learning skills to that could help up train skills faster.
You could see a kill mail where 1 Titan killed a whole fleet with a well placed DD
the Geddon was a bad ass laser platform
The Domi was the best drone boat around
Super carriers left a trail of death behind them from frigs to other capitals
we didnt have armor honey combing or reative armor stuff young folk have
The Sansha were far away and new eden didnt need to worry about incursions
The maller looked horrible.
Back in my day we didnt have T3 cruisers

Smartbombing NYX's on low sec gates. Gallente Hull's looked like they were made of poo. No Training Queue, having to either log in at god awful hours to flip skills and/or having a load of near completed skills that you only trained while logged in as they were a few hours from completion. Lazors sucked and Hybrids were better. |

Mining in a thorax, the best mining cruiser about, with 8 heavy drones for protection.
Playing one Sunday, and a pop up suddenly appearing congratulating everyone for a record player count of just over 6000.
Paying 60mill EACH for an arbalest cruise launcher!
mOO corp, fecking scary bunch.
My first death, to a cruise missile launcher fitted kestrel, piloted by P1rate Dave. Evil bugger he was.

2005-2007 were the best years of EVE.
Things went downhill after The Great Nano Nerf and continued focus on caps, jump freighters, jump everything
Organizing a 30 man escort mission to move a couple Freighters thru HED was fun |

Let's see what I can remember:
- Mining in an Osprey, because I didn't have the money for a battleship and mining barges didn't exist. Osprey's and scythes had 20%/lvl mining yield bonus back then.
- Ye olde graphics;
- Seeing a freighter for the first time. Probably an Obelisk because training gallente industrial V was popular back then, so you could fly an itty V.
- Cruise launcher II selling for 10mil each, 500mil Hulks, 200-250mil for Deimos
- Being in the Xetic Federation and living at a corp POS, because players couldn't build stations yet.
- much, much more |

CCP employees used to drop into chat channels and just chit-chat with the player base...
...and were quite known for drinking aplenty while creating a hardcore, ~mean~ game -- not this hand holding, "need to switch the safety switch off" pampered game of today. |

Collecting loot from the npc haulers that went station to station and being excited when you got a load of harvester drones to sell off.
Conquering the first station in 0.0 that was conquered in Eve, CZDJ.
Fighting on the front lines in the Great Northern War.
Killing Phonix's Apocalypse in a Torpedo Kestrel with Ripp Tyde.
Armoured Assassins constantly camping Aunenen.
When interceptors were first introduced.
I still have a thorax with 8 heavy drones in its drone bay. Can't undock in it though. |

well the days before the gankageddon nerf, they had stack nerf, it's just that it wasn't that punitive.
8 HS pulsegeddon was fun tho, that thing melted everything and everyone in seconds. [img]http://eve-files.com/sig/grimpak[/img]
