Aelius Caldari Caldari State Inc. People for Organised Peace	Posted - 2009.05.13 12:31:00 - [1] I've started this thread in hope some of you have stories/pics/videos related with EVE Beta/EVE launch 2003. (Dev help would be so good ) Do you remember Armageddon day? (last beta day) Do you remember all the colourfull roids? Do you remember all of us flying frigates and trying to buy a Moa BPO? Do you remember when you could actually flee Concord unpunished? Do you remember camping the gate jump out points? Do you remember no cloak after jump? Do you remember no targeting delays or undock invonurabilities? Do you remember the big guns poping small ships in one shot at any distance or speed? and more...? How the game has evolved is amazing, revolutionary in 2003, mindblowing in 2009. EVE 06/05/2003. PS: My char made 6 years yesterday
Haks'he Lirky Burning Bright Inc.	Posted - 2009.05.13 12:35:00 - [2] Cruise missiles on Crows? Multiple MWD's on Ravens?
Malvaceae Veri	Posted - 2009.05.13 12:42:00 - [3] Seriously, there needs to be a stickied thread somewhere with all the lore and history of player-driven EVE. I, as a new player feel like I have missed too much.
Ellyse	Posted - 2009.05.13 12:50:00 - [4] Do you remember the navitas as the gallente n00b ship? Mining arkonor in a n00b ship with no rats in belt... The great Cruiser chase...and nobody bothered to search out the minmatar one but EVERYONE wanted to kill the 'rax. Discovering learning skills and going...ohhhhhhhh... ...a tier 1 cruiser being your BEST ship. :D
Execer Malevolent Intentions Dark Solar Empire	Posted - 2009.05.13 12:57:00 - [5] The days of Torp Blackbirds with perma jamming EW, camping system "jump in" points with no gate guns or concord. Ah they were the days...
Jinx Barker Caldari GFB Scientific	Posted - 2009.05.13 13:01:00 - [6] Do you remember no autopilot? Do you remember manually looking for the gate? This character is not from 2003, but I do remember. ::::Click The Signature For the Blog::::

Ellyse	Posted - 2009.05.13 13:11:00 - [8] Yup. The Beta event. I still kinda miss the old map. Haven't fully adjusted to the new one, so I use 2D maps.

Lonzo Kincaid Black Nova Corp KenZoku	Posted - 2009.05.13 13:21:00 - [10] didn't the game have no AP originally, and you had to figure out how the hell to get to where you wanted to go one jump at a time? ---------------------- Quote: The rule of thumb is you have to outnumber them 2:1 before you even think about engaging them
Aelius Caldari Caldari State Inc. People for Organised Peace	Posted - 2009.05.13 13:23:00 - [11] Originally by: Lonzo Kincaid didn't the game have no AP originally, and you had to figure out how the hell to get to where you wanted to go one jump at a time? Exactly...
Ethidium Bromide Amarr ZEALOT WARRIORS AGAINST TERRORISTS Curatores Veritatis Alliance	Posted - 2009.05.13 13:26:00 - [12] happy birthday first of all to all you 6 year olds i joined 3 or 4 weeks before castor.. additionally i can remember: amarr being 2 jumps from pator yulai being the trading hub with 50+ people in it no stacking penalty Originally by:* CCP Prism X 1: "Just train Astrometric Quadilaterationcybbacrypph" 2: "MY MOTHER WAS A SAINT!"
Lonzo Kincaid Black Nova Corp KenZoku	Posted - 2009.05.13 13:36:00 - [13] Originally by: Aelius Originally by: Lonzo Kincaid didn't the game have no AP originally, and you had to figure out how the hell to get to where you wanted to go one jump at a time? Exactly... yeah I wasn't around then. I can't remember exactly what borkt things were around when i was a noob, I remember the macro accounts accepting 1isk Escrows the second they were up, which is why we've got a delay every time you search for something on contracts. I remember the old EW that used to perma jam stuff if your jammers had more points than the ship did, but not before the missile change to stop them firing torps/cruise. I think if you didn't have enough points to jam somebody they'd act abit like sensor damps and increase their lock time, but i'm not sure about that. ---------------------- Quote: The rule of thumb is you have to outnumber them 2:1 before you even think about engaging them
Aelius Caldari Caldari State Inc. People for Organised Peace	Posted - 2009.05.13 13:42:00 - [14] In 2003 EVE wasn't for the weakminded. EVE was the hardest HARDCORE MMORPG ever created. Imagine: - Broken Concord (High security = not so secure) - No sentrys at gates or stations = (0.4 = 0.0) - No insurance - No "warp at 0 kms" or IJBM's - Jump in "spawn" always on the same place - Warp in on gates at 20 Kms (needed to MWD your away to the gate or be ganked) - No WCS
Rakshasa Taisab Caldari Sane Industries Inc.	Posted - 2009.05.13 13:44:00 - [15] Do you remember The Apocorca!!!
Jowen Datloran Caldari Science and Trade Institute	Posted - 2009.05.13 13:47:00 - [16] I sure as hell remember getting stuck when trying to warp and being unable to get loose. ---------------- Mr. Science & Trade Institute
Ellyse	Posted - 2009.05.13 13:52:00 - [17] Slightly more recently...warp bumping. Having a corpmate warp into you as you approached a gate and being bumped 2000km away at 1000m/s plus.
Jim diGriz Caldari Lollipops for Rancors	Posted - 2009.05.13 14:09:00 - [18] Originally by: Aelius Originally by: Lonzo Kincaid didn't the game have no AP originally, and you had to figure out how the hell to get to where you wanted to go one jump at a time? Exactly... And Bookmark trading was rife. BM's was killing the servers due to all the BM's being installed. I do remember Armageddon day, oh the fun we had taking on Concord and the stations :)
Je'Nann Soul Assassins Delinquent Habits	Posted - 2009.05.13 14:11:00 - [19] veld so large you got stuck in it warping to the belts. autopilot not stopping at waypoints. amarr shuttle flying backwards. jumping to the same (and normally camped) "random" point after a jump. soonÖ. theres so many more :)
Concorduck Gallente	Posted - 2009.05.13 14:13:00 - [20] Gate bumping, that's all. ----------------------------------------- Originally by: Crumplecorn Contact the CSM about it, voting themselves into disbandment wouldn't be pushing the boundaries of absurdity for them.
Admiral IceBlock Caldari Northern Intelligence BricK sQuAD.	Posted - 2009.05.13 14:16:00 - [21] EVE was a much better game back than. Today it is more streamlined for the masses.
5pinDizzy	Posted - 2009.05.13 14:19:00 - [22] I remembar when there was no premium graphics and I thought stuff looked cool, now if I had to go back to it, urrrrgh.

Aelius Caldari Caldari State Inc. People for Organised Peace	Posted - 2009.05.15 13:05:00 - [24] For players that whine about everything in EVE i recommend reading carefully this thread. Could you EVER had survived in such a BRUTAL game that was EVE Online at 2003?! No safety nets. Unforgivable to all.
Istvaan Shogaatsu Caldari Guiding Hand Social Club	Posted - 2009.05.15 13:24:00 - [25] In beta, I think I was the first player to ever own a Scorpion, Caracal and Badger II. Then TAOSP (BoB) came by and blew up the Caracal and Badger :\|
Sophil	Posted - 2009.05.15 13:30:00 - [26] I remember alot of those things. I've played on and off since early 2004. Armageddon day was cool... if you could get in (how many was in queue?)
Gary Goat Yakuza Corp THE R0NIN	Posted - 2009.05.15 13:38:00 - [27] I joined in december 03, eve was harsh, a constant struggle to survive. I remember cruisers being really expensive and battleships being rare sites! Took me months of mining in my imicus before i could afford my almighty thorax. It cost me a ***ping 7 mil. Isk was actually hard to come by. You had to work your ass off to get anything. Its too easy nowdays, everybody is flying about in expensive fit t2 ships and battleships. People can afford there own capitals no problem which is wrong imo. Isk should be much harder to make then it is now.
Sun Ra The Royal Syndicate Eternal Rapture	Posted - 2009.05.15 14:03:00 - [28] Edited by: Sun Ra on 15/05/2009 14:03:55 Camping jumpin points with 100000s of mines Being able to bribe concord to fix sec rating AHUH AHUH AHUH AHUH

How could i forget that?! Yes... yes there used to be mines in EVE
Iced Earth Caldari Goat Riders QUAFE Alliance	Posted - 2009.05.15 14:06:00 - [30] Today, 6 years ago i was 5 days old and was mining Gneiss in high sec watching out for the NPC frigate spawm in the belt.
