When jump in points were not at gates and you would get ganked by some pirate who was waiting for you.
Thrall or whatever his name way and his pirate corp 'extinction.'
other corps:
'Sinister Corp'
'Nerd Corp'
"Come on God. Answer me. For years I am asking you why. Why are
the innocent dead and the guilty alive? Where is justice? Where is
punishment? Or have you already answered? Have you already said to the
world, here is justice, here is punishment, here..............in me"

Hmmmm
When max warp speed was 1 AU
When I seen industrials using MWD's
When we had radar in the lower right corner
When you had to target ships by right-clicking their icons in space
When there were no battleships
When my first Kessie cost ?600k
When my first badger cost 1.2M
When making your first million took weeks and meant something
When the only mineral demand was NPC
When NPC rat bounties started at 200isk
When pirates sat on the otherside of grids and sniped
When you could only get better agents by referal
When you could see your missions count/ran to date under your agent tab
(my Fav)When you had to eject right as you docked so you could travel in your pod to collect your ships in one spot
When Photonic CPU Enhancers gave 27.5% increase to CPU
When you got a small skill point increase when fitting moduals docked in the station
When space mice would chew thru power cables and cause gates to malfunction
When missiles had no pathfinding and would impact anything in their way
When the max people on line weekends was around 1200 and average nightly was 300-800
When high-end ores were in empire
When the skill choices were around 60
When I could mine in the same 0.6 8+ hours a day and not see even 1 person pass thru the system in a week
When the best mining laser most people could afford were Miner I's
When mining lasers didnt drain CAP
When light missiles slapped your ship around worse than torps
When I could fit torps on my Caracal *sigh*
When we had Pann (not that there is anything wrong with Kieron  )
man I could go on and on

.. no target locking after 'warp drive active'
.. no 'look at' option (look look a BS at the station! ..wtf?.. where does that scorp have it's front side?!)
.. 'threat' window with sound notification, could wake you up while reading forums
.. spawning in random place after jumping through stargate
.. missiles possible to lock and shoot down with guns, webbed missile etc.
.. low speed required to warp, missilechain better than warp scrambling

1. There were only about 100 or so different BPO's in the game.
2. Scordite roids that were HUGE!!!
3. If you found 20 Hedbergite in a roid you were lucky.
4. Infinite BPC's.
5. Lab slots were cheap and plentiful.
6. Insurance that lasted only a week.
7. Debating whether bringing your learning skills to 5 was worth the time.
8. Each race giving only one type of implant. I think Gallente was Intelligence.
9. Mining in a noob ship......
10. Selling your mins for full retail value and considering yourself lucky.

When CCP did not dictate how to setup your ship.

2. Scordite roids that were HUGE!!!
I remember someone doing an event where they paid 1M isk (I think)to the person who found the biggest roid and got a screen shot
I think some were over 100km radius
Oh yeah
When roids didnt respawn and EVE had a shortage of minerals
When I could mine Omber in my races starter system as a noob
ooops I gotta stop...nope I cant
When turrets didnt have tracking penalties
When damage mods didnt have a stacking nerf
(Hmmm if I remember when they did nerf them TankCEO got ****ed and went on a noob killing rampage in secure space)
When convoys dropped loot
When superconductors sold for 150k-200k EACH!!

When the original BioMass Cartel was i think the largest pirate corp in the game.
u are old if u remember:
when mercenery frigates where at their high point.
when u were thrilled with a t1 cruiser
when 80% of the players were noobs, me including
when bantam was a good mining ship
when thorax was the best mining ship
when everyone was mining
when few knew wth skill points were for
when CCP made a pirates life very difficult
when Grikl lost his Imperial Apocalypse
when u could get rich by exlpoiting the container lag (have 2 containers in space, move for example 100 megazyte from container A to container B, and move the same megazyte again again to container B while A was lagged, and there u had 200 megazyte)
when u was stinking rich if ya had 5m in ur wallet

It took you weeks to spot the first player owned BS.
Super speed spawns with literally thousands of loot cans
No BS NPC's
