Just to get the whiners to appreciate the new changes :)
Please list the new changes you are referring to unless you are simply making a blanket statement about everything that came since 2003, new/bugged/nerf/new/buff/broken/new/ignored/nerf/etc.
I'd be pleased to play the game some of the grouchy old SOB's ***** and whine about 'back in my day'. I'd even look into rounding up some troubled youngin's to work my buddy invites mining/missioning or just setup a 'technological daycare' that did the same thing. Occasionally I'd take the little buggers on roams to swarm people for fun.

If you are a pie, then all of EVE is already non-consensual pvp-mode. Over all to me all the changes seem it was just much "easier" to gank people back then. Doesn't sound like fights were any better just easier ganks via more lax mechanics.
I've read the posts in the past about no one had T2 fitting except the pies ect..ect making it even easier to gank targets. I would say despite the dumbing down changes the game is likely much harder today for small gang/soloing than it was then while being much harder then for care bears vs easier today.
IE care bearing got easier PVP for "non blobbers" went to hard mode. At least that's the impression I get from all the memory lane posts I've read during my time in EVE. Personally I wouldn't want my PVP on easy mode, but I would like better quality fights.

People have learned a lot about EVE in the intervening years, the game would be very different if 2011 players meet 2003 mechanics. mOo would be nothing compared to the unleashed carnage!

I would be vet happy with some changes.
-no scanning -no cyno -no bubbles
On the other hand there would be almost nothing to do except mission and rat.
Wherever you went - Here you are.

Edited by: Ange1 on 01/06/2011 18:24:18 Having been in EVE since it started, I would love to see the 2003 build on a small server somewhere just to bring back memories. Didn't have all the choice you had today for your ships, no T2 stuff, just frigates, cruisers, battleships and indies. Even shuttles didn't exist back then. The highest bounty rats were typically 50k.
The jump range of a stargate was 15-20km, the exit point was a random point in space which when found was camped to ****, there was no 1 minute timer, you just instantly appeared there and were often dead before you had a chance to load.
Lets not forget update pilots in space every 5 mins so you can see the blobs moving!
And of course no bloody POS's.
The Establishment is at your service...

meh, back then if you wanted to be safe carrying something valuable you got real folks to escort you. Not this Guard-Whacking CONCORD npc crap ala-Ultima Online. I understand what you're saying about easy targets, but back then, you learned really quick not to stick your neck out unless you wanted your head chopped off. People adapted. People relied more on each other. And there were similar consequences to preying upon the weak as there are now, but instead of magic police spawning on your head, it was real folks you had to deal with.
I liked that part better. But I do concede that many new players were beaten up more harshly until they learned. I think that was a good thing though, except I guess for the folks that didn't want to adapt to that particular mechanic of the game...

I'd agree if I didnt know what made EVE great back then. Mechanics weren't what made it glory.
2005, right about now there would be 10,000 people on. It peaked at 25K. EVE was a bigger place back then. |

The universe was a great garden to discover and traverse in wonder and awe of the Creator. Now all non-empire space has turned into a filthy suburb where rabble rules and shoot innocent pilgrims.
How did we come to this and say how can we say it was for the good?

Edited by: Burseg Sardaukar on 02/06/2011 09:15:15 Yea! And while you are getting rid of warp-to-zero - Get rid of the skill queue!!!!!! I miss putting useless crap to V till I could log in and wait for the minute a skill finished and have to load one immediately in! And no jump clones! Pick an implant set and STICK WITH IT!
But yea, bugs, balancing issues, and all, this game still (rhymes with Bass Tapes) any other MMO.
edit:apparently the word that rhymes with Tapes is censored.
