I was in the closed beta of eve, and at that time I simply couldn't get into it.
I was playing earth and beyond at the time, and knew somebody in that game that had wanted to get into the Eve beta but missed the deadline to sign up. I gave this individual my beta account in exchange for items in E&B.
Eve eventually went live, and it was around that time that earth and beyond took a nose dive only to be shut Dan by EA. This resulted in a large number of refugees from that game coming over to eve. Ccp was even targeting people who played e&b with adverts that invited them to come on over to the other side. In all honesty the timing couldn't have been better for them.
I decided to give Eve another try and to my surprise loved it.
I also wantes to strangle myself for giving up my beta access. ;) |

Hah!
I have a few friends I got into the game simply by showing them that vid. ;) Dare I say that Junkie XL's "Beauty never fades" is timeless. |

Payed fortunes for terrible dial-up connections back then and didn't leep playing for long but got to know a few people during that time and kept loose contact with them.
One day, I was just in the mood to go for an MMO again and asked one of them what they'd recommend, which was eve.
Never played an MMO except UO, DAOC, Eve and AOC beta.
Loved the hell out of the original Ultima Games.
My favorite of the series was 5, followed closely by 4..... They had kickass music on my apple II...
Beeep brrrrp beeep baaaaa boooooo beeeep. |
