Originally by: Demolishar Noobs are people younger than me. Veterans are people older than me. This is how it has always been.
I agree "veteran" is a relative term rather than an absolute one.
A veteran has seen the game world change and evolve. It is mandatory for a veteran to be able to say things like "Back in MY days, we didn't have X.", or "lol, remember when back in A, X was still Y?"
So for someone who came in after tyrannis, I am already a veteran. "Back in MY day, we didn't have farmville in EVE. Noo, we had to go ALL THE WAY to facebook for that!"

When you can remember really significant events/changes in EVE - and everything related to those events has been made inconsequential by later events.
Wherever you went - Here you are.

To answer your question. 1) When you have "quit" EvE more times then you care to remember.
2) When you remember having to work your ass of (months) to be able to afford a BS.
"veteran player" is an obvious but relative term in the world of internets gaming. To a newb a one year old focused combat char can be a "vet".
"sudden influx of vets" What statistics are you basing this statement on? Where is your baseline?

wow, was really not expecting so many replies. (and ones on topic and not flaming me)
I like some of the definitions that have been used. it has helped, I know for me, to see where some self proclaimed vets may be coming from now.
now would paper say that as a relative term, it would depend on the topic in which it is used?

we need a new term in-between noob and veteran as player just dose not cut it
Think a great many ppl would fall into the catagory the op describes. Its all relative but theres plenty of ppl that are certainly not noobs but really arent vets either. Naming the noun for these players and their characteristics is possibly an easier task than defining a "vet".
This task completed, the "what is a veteran?" question may become easier. x

If you go around calling yourself a vet, then you are noob. If you go around trying hard to be a vet, then you are a noob. If you play the game and don't actually think about being a vet, then you are prolly a vet.

Edited by: Guthwulf on 01/05/2011 15:52:19 A veteren; generally someone who has seen most of the game, played most of the game....and despite being so cynical it hurts, they just keep coming back for more more.
And the memories that go back so far they make eve as it is now look and feel almost entirely shiney and new :D.
However if your mains 8th birthday is 5 days from now and you remember screamng through 0.8 sec belts chucking out mines and missiles as if your life depended on it (when ur a few days old those rats are nasty). And lowsec and 0.0 not only weren't dangerous they were just empty. Then ultimatly your probably too old to care about being a bitter vet and the state of the game. You just kick back and let all those fiesty youngsters get on with it ;)
