In no particular chronological order:
- Undocking for the first time. My jaw hung open in awe at the graphics.
- The first time I went to warp. My jaw probably hit the floor.
- Noticing the red- and blue-shifts of the warp effect
- Zooming in on a billboard and noticing the image was actually made of little RGB pixels
- Hearing 'Primordial Star Clouds' for the first time. I shut my eyes to listen to it and let my miners overflow the hold on my Imicus.
- Noticing that even the cargo cans in EVE are things of ultra-detailed beauty
- Getting my first cruiser (Thorax)
- Going on my first exploration flight and getting my ass handed to me by a squadron of Angels
- My first PVP. I lost (barely), but the other guy was more annoyed at having to use so many expensive missiles to kill me.
- My first PVP kill, literally yelling 'woohoo!' out loud
- Starting my first corp with real life friends
- Seeing a heavy missile detonation for the first time. John Bishop was blowing away rats at the other side of the belt I was mining, his Widowmakers shook a glass off my desk.
- Joining a Colossus Technologies (great corp with great people)
- Leaving Colossus to create Freedom Technologies with John Bishop, Kulath and Octavius, great friends I've never met in my life, but have played with for over a year
- Starting Warp Drive Active as an experiment with Photoshop, being utterly shocked it's been accepted by the community
- Getting my first battleship (Megathron).
- Heading to 0.0 for the very first time. Anyone who's done it will know how you feel doing that the first time.
- Being involved in my first fleet fight with Curse Alliance, way back when. Organized chaos, but a ton of fun.
- Getting into a major car accident in real life, finding out how great this game's community is by seeing how much supportive evemail came pouring in
- Seeing how special EVE's developers are when they send me the Gallente Homecoming poster with a get-well card signed by the development team. They're truly unequalled in the game industry.
Please feel free to reply and your own favorite moments, as I will when I think of some more. :)
