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

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...

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

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.

Another word for it was "unplayable."
In another words "You weren't here". It WAS playable but in a completly diferent way. A game NOT for "handicaped" people.
