Lowsec was a dangerous and conflict ridden area where pirate coalitions and alliances waged war on each other for control of good areas, unlike the nearly empty space with half hearted gate campers it is today.

When I was young when you joined a fleet Concord didn't help you if your fleet mates shot you even if they were in different corps and or alliances.
You could scrap of Cyno's at stations so you wouldn't have to wait the 10 min timer. Which then left the cyno effect on the station until down time.
You could ghost ride your ship to dock in station by hiting dock and ejecting before your ship docked.
You could cloak your covert / recon ship aright after the gate if you atempted to target the gate first while you were cloaked.
FYI I started right after Red Moon rising. |

Fleets in formation to avoid hitting each other due to line of sight/friendly fire. Using asteroids for the same reason, to tactically engage rats or players by letting their weapons smash against the rocks while you weaved in and out of the shattered rocks.

I've bolded the pertinent parts for easier reading comprehension. By the way, how is the backwoods of Goon country? Pretty quiet these days?

Not quite "vet" (ca. 3.5 years total, no breaks, though!), but here's mine:
Cyno/Capital jump-in/out was beyond epic, although could be horrifically laggy.
The BLOPs covert portal was this...ragged-edged, rotating hole...ripped out of the sky made of utter blackness, not the "evil wormhole" effect it is now (not that I dislike that one, just sayin').
Gate-jumps sounded cooler.
Aura talked throughout the tutorials, which helped my initial immersion (read: addiction) greatly.
The Scorpion/Widow looked...very different, though still kinda cool in a way.
The Phobos was pink/red...I'll leave the rest of that up to your imagination.
AoE Titan Doomsday--push ::BUTAN(TM)::, everybody on-grid dies. Not at all imbalanced But then, everybody and their dog didn't have Titans, either.
Being able to comfortably solo most/all level 4 missions actually meant something, they were hard, once. (IE, full-pocket aggro on warp-in, you were webbed and pointed by at least 1-2 frigs from each mob, in every mission, and if you popped a spawn/aggro-trigger too soon, then it guaranteed you'd be looking at your wreck from your pod 30s later going "WTF?")
Fried Interface Circuits went for ISK 500k, not ISK 12k, Alloyed Trit. Bars for ISK 1.2mn, not ISK 200k, so belt-ratting and salvaging in Minmatar 0.5/0.6 plus anomalies made a newb decent money, along with level 2 and 3 missions and looting/salvaging same.
Rigs were one size, and very, very expensive. No-one but the very rich used them. Even though newb-ships had 3 rig slots, then, too.
Probing was much different, and much, much harder.
Stealth bombers couldn't warp cloaked, but could snipe cruise missiles from like 200km.
Engine-trails: And they looked just fine, I don't see what the issue was for so long.
A mid-range computer could run high-ish settings with 128MBytes of video-memory (just no HDR, and Shadows to "Medium") without said GPU going "urp!" and doing the death-melt at 3 FPS.
Goonswarm was actually an entity worthy of genuine respect instead of weary contempt.
Flying Caldari would get you laughed right off comms for most nullsec fleet-ops. Or "Fail-dari," as it was called then.
You couldn't spam scams in trade-hub locals, because the ISK sellers were using chat-bots to flood local.
Biggest ones:
The community as a whole was much more intelligent, orders of magnitude more mature, more aware, and much less tolerant of crybears--they pretty much ensured that crybears got nothing but a hard way to go, with lots of "I can haz ur stuffs?" following them out the ******* door where they belonged.
Whinging and trolling didn't get you your way, and nerfs, when they happened, usually happened because they were needed, not because some over-entitled child-bads made a whinge-Jihad against things they didn't like.
Fake-edit:
I want my Vagabond's "Dragon-Frill" back, dammit!
