ChrisDude70 Paragon Fury Cascade Imminent	Posted - 2011.02.02 13:59:00 - [1] Edited by: ChrisDude70 on 02/02/2011 14:06:04 There are 4664 pages in general discussion! First, a little background as to how I came to this point. I was scrolling through general discussion, browsing the various threads, when I had a thought: I wonder how many pages the forums have? I had never bothered to look. So I scroll down to the bottom of the page, and SHOCK! 4664 pages! So, being curious, I clicked the last page. What I found was a treasure trove of memorablila from all the way back in the BETA phase of EVE Online. Tales of Mining and PvP, Whines about unbalence and bugs, complaints about all manner of game aspects. I realised something, from the beginning of this game,to the current day, the forums have not changed at all. The same trolling and bickerin as well as helpful and creative players. The point of this is, some of these posts from the original players are quite interesting and some a really worth the read. There are even a few comics and drawnings that have working links. I just wanted to draw attention to this area of the forums that some might not know about. EDIT: Some examples Moa vs Thorax 30 day new player recap. EVE Radio Rumours Oh, and I might add, this is my signature.
Cathy Drall Amarr Royal Amarr Institute	Posted - 2011.02.02 14:11:00 - [2] " It would seem to be general consensus that the Moa is a superior fighting craft to the Thorax (thse 2 in turn seem to generally held as the best Cruiser Fighters)" "Im not nearly as paranoid as people think I am"
Charoline De'Lanari Azure Horizon	Posted - 2011.02.02 14:15:00 - [3] It's also fairly easy to see who of those old guys is still playing, as they've re-done their characters :)
Destination SkillQueue Are We There Yet	Posted - 2011.02.02 14:30:00 - [4] Some good stuff in there. IDEA: Carebear class that can't be podded.
Jint Hikaru OffWorld Exploration Inc	Posted - 2011.02.02 15:05:00 - [5] That forth link is so funny. Waaaa, making rats harder to kill is so carebear????? Icelandic Woods??? And that guy is still playing... I wonder if its the same guy or the character has been sold over the years! ------------------------ Jint Hikaru - Miner / Salvager / Explorer / SpaceBum "I've got a couple of Strippers on my ship... and they just love to dance!" ------------------------
ATARI BABY Ministry of War	Posted - 2011.02.02 15:06:00 - [6] Originally by: ChrisDude70 I realised something, from the beginning of this game,to the current day, the forums have not changed at all. i dont agree this part. todays forum is full of trolls, troll paranoids, lack of content ect. old pages are much more adultish. just like the alliance names. they were more cool than todays naming trends.
Merovee Amarr Gorthaur Legion	Posted - 2011.02.02 15:23:00 - [7] I think the whine about not being able to catch up to old players should now be put to rest. I can see that those who play in '03 are few now in '11, people quit folks and move on, though some like me are still playing, we haven't been playing non-stop all these years and still fewer are the die hard fans who never quit. Like any organization the seniority list looks daunting, but after a few years you make it to the first page and say to your self "wow I made it". So what, you become that old guy eating his lunch looking at the kids bowed in prayer with thumbs moving at high speed. (got to go to work later} Of Mordor
Crumplecorn Gallente Eve Cluster Explorations	Posted - 2011.02.02 15:29:00 - [8] Quote: The Thorax may have more turrets etc. but the power is way down to fit more than 3-4 good guns. As well as the fact that Hybreds are complete crap anyway. Truly things operate in cycles. - I wish I was a three foot tall doll with a watering can and heterochromatic eyes
ChromeStriker	Posted - 2011.02.02 15:46:00 - [9] Originally by: Jint Hikaru That forth link is so funny. Icelandic Woods??? umm hate to burst your bubble (and that guy 8/9 years ago) but iceland DOES have woods... your thinking of greenland lol
My Postman	Posted - 2011.02.02 15:50:00 - [10] Originally by: Destination SkillQueue Edited by: Destination SkillQueue on 02/02/2011 14:48:48 Some good stuff in there. IDEA: Carebear class that can't be podded. OMG time travel. Class act lawsuit against CCP. Deadly new NPCs that need teamwork to beat, and CCP catering to carebears, forcing teamwork on people and DOOMING new players. OMG the last link! Epic rage 2003 caused epic lough 2011.
K'uata Sayus	Posted - 2011.02.02 16:03:00 - [11] Hanns for CSM President! or at least CCP Customer Service VP. EVERYONE SEEMS NORMAL UNTIL YOU GET TO KNOW THEM.
rodensteiner Amarr Awesome Jacket Society	Posted - 2011.02.02 23:24:00 - [12] Hey, thanks for making note of this. I spent some time today reading old old threads...very interesting. This one has a fair bit of talk about Battleships...it's amazing how far we've gotten! http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=20270 _____________________________________________ I'm horrible at PVP
Cys Root Gallente Onefix RD	Posted - 2011.02.03 01:04:00 - [13] Originally by: rodensteiner http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=20270 A very good read Example: Originally by: Kortexr Battleships are so phenomally expensive to buy, fly, and equip properly that even very rich corps can't afford to lose more than a couple, and I think they would be used very sparingly indeed in the event of war. lol
Kaaii Caldari KaaiiNet Holding Executor Corp KAAII-NET	Posted - 2011.02.03 01:11:00 - [14] You have no idea what it was like back then.... According to Oveur, existing LSAA's already anchored will stay there. kieron Director of Community Relations,
Stark Thunder Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2011.02.03 01:41:00 - [15] Quote: 1> A battleship is not a resource gathering tool. Thats what Titans will be for. A battleship is first and formost a combat platform. So I think it's missleading to judge its value based on how much faster you can mine with one. It might be better to do a point by point comparison of a top of the line BB with a top of the line CA by stats. Titans do make good resource gathering tools dont they
ChrisDude70 Paragon Fury Cascade Imminent	Posted - 2011.02.03 04:06:00 - [16] There was definatly alot less trolling back then, true. That aside, it seems mostly the same. If I could travel back in time and make a post there, telling them what things are like today... Imagine what would happen. Do you think anyone would believe it? 50 Thousand people online at once. Tech 3 ships. Thousand man blobs. Oh, and I might add, this is my signature.
Xyfu Minmatar Applied Mechanics	Posted - 2011.02.03 05:09:00 - [17] People buying, fitting, and SUICIDING battleships, personally funded. Spending over 2 billion ISK on a single battleship, then recouping about 65 million ISK per hour with it. Two-shotting T1 cruisers in battleships. /me sighs. The good old days are today. It's inspired me to fit up a few ships and do some lowsec. Enjoy life, and the taking of it. _____ ^ That is a sig line. It should be there without me having to put one in.
Rilliafane	Posted - 2011.02.03 05:58:00 - [18] This is indeed interesting to go back and read. There was a reference in one post about mines. What was the story on these? Anyone remember them and why they are gone?

What was the story on these? Anyone remember them and why they are gone? Proximity mines. Remote smartbombs. Caused massive lag. _____ ^ That is a sig line.

Serpents smile	Posted - 2011.02.03 07:45:00 - [20] Quote: plus the fact that a BS will pretty much allow you to go anywhere, anytime, without fear of death Oh, how things have changed.
Destination SkillQueue Are We There Yet	Posted - 2011.02.03 08:55:00 - [21] Originally by: Rilliafane This is indeed interesting to go back and read. There was a reference in one post about mines. What was the story on these? Anyone remember them and why they are gone? IIRC they were removed because they caused too many issues. I'll link a few old discussion threads about them. The mines are not players!! New "exploit"? or something else? Mine therapy Devblog about them.

Heathrow	Posted - 2011.02.03 11:34:00 - [25] Quote: On the other hand Eve was not designed for fleet engagements either. To darn much lag when you get to many ships in close proximity to each other to be any fun. From the last post in the Moa v Thorax thread. I lol'd

Xailia Unsteady Corporation	Posted - 2011.02.03 11:47:00 - [27] This thread was the first one created in this version of the forums. (It got necroed later in the year, hence it doesn't show up on the last page) And the board is still snitz, as much as Wrangler would like to deny it. Though with the new Gate forum comes a new first thread! "The sky above the port was the color of a television, tuned to a dead channel."

This thread is also older, and in General. Earliest one I could find. They are all from 2 June though. "The sky above the port was the color of a television, tuned to a dead channel."
