Being two months into a wonderful game, having joined Fountain Alliance, and having moved into the Fountain region.
Setting up shop in MN5N...shooting alliance mates (mostly Jazz Associates) outside the M15 station..."fleet inspections" ...alliance-mandated, regularly-scheduled combat patrols to D4KU and back...chasing and running from Cpt. Pugwash, ZUDD samthedog and the other Rubra guys.
It's all pretty silly by today's standards, but back then it was new and fun.
Another fond memory would be helping build Morsus Mihi from a two-station alliance into the undisputed masters (albeit of a fairly crap) region with stations from M-0 TO PNDN to QFF--- all the way up to the point where we defended against and repelled an invasion of Fortress Tribute by BoB and friends last year. Good times.

I did a level 3 mission called sabotaged.. and there is a faction fleet at the start you have the option to shoot ot not. so i did shoot it all. got a modulated tachyon from it. sold it for 45m isk. I thought i had hit the jackpot. only 3 months old too. even got wuestioned where i got that kinda isk from .
Another thing i remember is multiple mwd's, made my crusader do 25kms. bot did i have fun having curse alliance chase me for 3 hours? lot my pod too in the end.

When i started playing this game, 5k peak online at the same time was a rarity. The devs/PR people had a much more intimate relationship with the player base, they actually at times seemed to listen, they actually seemed to care.
I remember mining my butt off to get a thorax to mine in, then a megathron, then to an apoc, which at that time was the best mining ship in game, barges let alone exhumer's werent even a thought yet. If you had an apoc with the skill's to mount up 8 miner II's and fly ten harvies, you had hit end game as far as a miner went. ( yeah, ten harvies, back then before they created bandwidth and fiddled with mining amounts, you flew ten). Every race had just 2 battleships and 1 BC, and the curent lineup of cruisers. No hac's, no inties, none of that. A CNR was rare, probably rarer than the current number of MOM's in game, you were rich and leet if yah could get your hands on one then.
Warefare wasnt as much as a blobfest that as it is now. Real pirates actually existed, they had honor and integrity too. You paid the ransom, you lived, as promised. There were no POS's, no sovereignty, no meta gaming.
While they were some real buttnuggets here and there in game, for the most part everyone had a lot more respect for each other. Now, it's just a cesspool all around for the most part, no honor, no integrity, no rhyme nor reason, Mostly just zombies running around now eating peoples heads and they themselves dont even know why for the most part, the only goal is to feed an E-Peen with no real goals for what they do in game other than that.
Wish i had a time machine.

Some of my fondest memories...
1. Finding that people thought my songs were funny and starting an album...
2. Winning Eve Idol...
3. Certain ridiculously long and fun threads in the forums.
4. Winning a 5,000,000,000 ISK heads up poker game in Eve Poker.
5. Starting Eve Poker.
6. The first time my tank could handle running the hardest L4 mission solo while aggroing the whole room.

I remember when I first got caught in a low-sec gatecamp. I was promptly escorted to my new clone and out around 60mil (ship and +3s), but that was a wake-up call to be more careful. 
And....more recently, running through low-sec camps with my blockade runner. Fun times.

Static low sec comp****s. Great isk if they left you alone and great pvp when they didn't. I understand why the 0.0 plexs got cut out but ffs the low sec were like 50 mil or so in bounties and they never dropped anything good. I loved taking my curse into the angel plexs and tanking the whole room as I ratted or blowing up some nub who never moved away from the warp in point and was under full aggro as the 5/10 and 6/10 had some mean and nasty initial spawns.

I had just joined the Stain Empire and was moving my stuff there. This of course meant going through HED-GP. After asking a billion times in Alliance chat if it was clear I jumped in, only to be pounced on by about six meanies. My Megathron was doomed, except that every low slot was filled with a warp core stab and I got out with about 50% structure.

Good old noob times.
- First hours of staring at ships going "oooh" and "aaah".
- Getting my first industrial on the 2nd day I played eve. Putting a gun on it and going to shoot rats on some highsec gate :)
- Finding my corp, moving to 0.4 for a corp mining op and getting blown to pieces on the first ratspawn :p
- Mining for my first cruiser and battleship
Things are too easy these days. You can get enough isk for a cruiser with just a slither of luck. I spend days mining veldspar for that in a t1 frig.

I was asking for isk in jita local (before lag / contracts / belt removal)
Nikolai Nuvolari gave me 4m ISK and I bought some stuff with it. 4m isk is nothing to me now. Quite funny how much of a big deal it was for a noob.

Popping a Shadow Serp rat 6 months into playing and finding a 100mill Snake implant in it! I had to double take when I saw the sell price.
Being wardecced by a POS ransom corp and then deciding in true Wild Bunch style "Why not?" and went in with two T1 Drakes and a T1 fit Mega and destroying three of their battleships with no losses for us.
Being 3 weeks old and warping into Egghelende on my second mission! Ahh bless.

My first Apocalypse was quite a joy to behold, still my favourite looking battleship. Lost it on my own to a gang of around 30 hacs in nullsec. I wasn't ratting, I got baited and blobbed.
I remembered when I used to sit in a belt mining with a battleship just to fill up a giant secure container and being pleased with the isk I'd earnt.
When pvp'ers used to seem like strange mystical ships that were practically invincible to any weapons I could use.
When level 4's used to actually be hard and dangerous.
I don't actually have any real fond memories because eves better then it ever has been in my opinion.
I'd never want to go back to something like three or four years ago to the old graphics with ridiculously overpowered ewar, insane nano ships, no faction war, no wormholes, no decent exploration sites etc...
I'd be bored out my tree and quit the game as I would have already done if it hadn't been for the ongoing improvements.

being able to "safely" use low sec jumps for shortcuts to get somewhere fast. or just popping into them out of curiousity and only on the very rare occasion seeing anyone at all and ever rarer seeing anyone that would even try to lock you, low sec was so much different back in the day.

I was particularly pleased when someone accidentally bought 1 light missile off me for a billion a couple of years ago.
I laughed.
Then I read the evemail he sent me, along the lines of "I don't suppose theres any chance u could send me my money back, is there?" and I laughed some more.
In fact, I still laugh thinking about it. Easiest money I ever made!

Pirating in RMR (small scale pvp) E-Honour. engine trails + some old models (vagabond) when drones weren't completely ass (pre-drone interfacing hidden hp nerf: 10 drones -> 5 drones with 100% dmg still has 5 drones hp) Nos. Large projectiles being not poo NO RIGS lack of overheat UI (and overheating, too...) vagabond doing 4.5km/s with a normal fit (not during nano*** period) scrambler not raping MWD (interesting concept but it breaks minnie/gal) when buffer was viable but not the only way to go (see: rigs)

When I started a couple years ago, you could click on a missile in flight and press the "look at" button to get a missile-cam. That was awesome! It seems to have been removed in one of the graphics engine upgrades, either Trinity or Apocrypha.

I kinda live vicariously through the guys I talk to. I started in '05, after seeing the ads for the Exodus launch and being very dissapointed that SWG sucked.
I liked going to Fanfest and hearing stories from the old hats, The Great Northern War and the days of the Curse Alliance. Listening to CYVOK blow up on the forums, reading about the first real DD (LV's ambush of GF/TCF, I still have the video.)
I heard about how Kestrals once carried torpedoes and battleship pilots ran at the sight of them. =)
A Cerberus was 350mil.
What I really, really am fond of? Sitting in the student union building before night classes, watching EVE videos and reading posts, and smiling as people start gathering around, asking what it is I'm playing. Telling them about EVE, and how it works, and watching the jaws drop at the videos. Watching the jaws drop even further when I tell fanciful tales of loss and victory, ships destroyed and lives crushed, empires having risen and fallen. Explaining that here, you really are something, and that you shape the world. Watching them look back at their WoW clients and wondering what they were really working for during all of that time.

Originally by: Istvaan Shogaatsu My fondest memories...
Those would have to be the days when an individual pilot still mattered. How everyone feared TankCEO's Raven, or how relatively fewer people feared my Zealot. Nowadays, there are no heroes, no ships to truly fear.
This is the main reason I don't undock anymore. ☠-->-->--

as was said before, back when the be all end all of mining was an apoc with 10 drones, dont get me wrong i love alot of the new stuff, it just seems looking back at it, the game is just slow but surely turning into a 1 track mind type of thing, there is only 1 way to fit a ship for pvp kind of thing.
i kinda wish they would do like DAOC did, create a server (a lot smaller of course, maybe 10k cap?) labeled "Clasic" where it would be eve online: Castor) you know something for the vets to goto to remember the days of old, and for new guys to goto to "see what its like"

Was heading into a low sec system in my Myrmidon to do a mish,
Got jumped by two gate campers, Was my first PVP experience so I paniced a little.....
Decided if I was going to die, I would die fighting, picked one and toggled all avaliable weapons and modules, unleashed my drones and called my mum to tell her I loved her!
To my supprise I did enough damage to force them to flee.... got an eve-mail soon after saying "Nice to see a carebear put up a fight, if you ever want to go pirate give us a call"

RIP.
The one right before what we have now. You got to choose your starting stats, a couple weeks worth of specialized starting skills, and there was no guessing; no square pegs in round holes. I see no benefits to the new creation system.
I didn't initially intend to rant on poor development choices, sorry. Carry on.
