The Morbor scam of the century
When agents referred you to other agents, and agent grinding made less money than mining.
When you could have Jove agents (removed with Castor)
One of the early dev promises that player-owned stations were coming out soon.
When people without game accounts could post on the forums.
The old website... (anyone have a link to that?)

...Jump-in points (every system had 1 point in space where all the jumpers appeared)
Nope - some systems had multiple random JIPs.
I can remember jumping into Sarum once with an anti-pirate fleet knowing there was a pirate fleet on the other side.
When we uncloaked we discovered half of our fleet was somewhere else in the system

landing on (and getting stuck) on stations after jumping.
Ships getting stuck and bouncing furiously while undocking
warping to within 5km of gates
the name of the character locking you showing up on the threat bar
ORS (NORAD is new)
Frigates being expensive
Thorax the uber miner
True Chaining
convoys dropping good loot
dual MWD bestowers
Tempest, the ULTIMATE ship
The ding when warp drive was activated (only for one day after a patch)
The day NPCs started 'chaining' players in 0.0.

Cant believe I forgot this one...
When there were Race specific jump distances. Gallante gates you could jump when within 15km, Amarr was 10km and Minmanatar was 12 or 13km

 I remeber that one. Am Icelandic friend of mine told me some of his buddies where working on an elite like game.
- when the Imicus had 3 low slots, was the uber miner with 3 basic cargo expanders.
- when you where top hauler in corp owning an Imicus
- when the Maulus had a launcher point. Though I'm that old that I cant remeber if thats actualy true 
- when missiles took up huge amounts of cargo space
- when range on ammo did not work
- when you could pwn serpetis cruisers at 60 km in your Tristan hunting in 0.0 using AM ammo
- when 250mm proto rails could hold 2000 untis of ammo
- when the 650mm scout was the uber gun
- when there where no large guns
- when the tachion laser was the uber
- when you remember beeing the top corp mining crew with mining 700k veld in one session. Frigs only

ctrl+alt+shift+double click on a station!
the error message you got after the dev's took this away from us.
ps: "not in this ballpark" error message was the best.

You know you're old in EVE when you can remember...
... stations in early beta had garbage sites where devs sometimes dropped their goodies..
I got lucky and found a very ill-green painted thorax with some coolish mark III blasters 
Its not enough to succeed. Others must fail. |

1) RUS destroying m0o's shiny new Dominixes in their Armageddons
2) Molly self destructing his Megathron in Yulai in agony
3) FoA
4) Grids being < 100km and causing you to not to be able to see your mate in certain belts when warping in from different sides
5) Grids being < 100km and gates being placed just next to the rift (and the exploits that followed). E.g. D4KU-5
6) Duping items due to lag
7) Mobile refineries being launched on Chaos in Gemini
8) t0rfifrans dropping a Niebelung Particle Drill V to a noob
9) Discussing balance with Stavros at 4am in the morning after a rough night out
10) Setec
11) JIP would be at station/other gate if you'd visited that earlier
12) Antimatter S blueprints being sold out within 3 weeks

I remember these things:
1) Sabaoth's site being taken off the links list for a controversial front page graphic.
2) Jolly Dirtybones' fiction
3) Getting more news about Eve at the INO site than the EVE-Site
4) No-Pants half hour in the #endless-corp IRC channel
5) When PvP was limited to smack talking in IRC
6) EnB players attempting to defend their game dispite overwhelming ass kicking, and I was one of them, HG charmed my pants off.
7) Getting excited when Endless and TTi were allowed to post ingame beta pics of ships and stuff during the war.
8) The coup'de'ta in Endless where HG took over and belittled TimeBeast, again in the #endless-corp room.
9) Rouge having the most posts on the forum
10) Projectiles ruled space in beta.
11) Endless' occupation of Gonat, and TAOSP's pwnage of EC's big boy image
12) When intra-corp collaboration on fanfiction wasn't as hard as it is now.
13) HG's Duo-Toned raver hair
14) The Great Battle of Genesis, and guess who developed the events around it (Which were #1 Find the other faction, #2 destroy a BS, and #3 the big lag battle), wrote little history vignettes about the events, got ****ed when TTi's group destroyed their own BS in event #2, and has two thumbs? This guy right here.
15) Sabaoth INC acting like statues in their IRC room
16) Darodem being a freedom fighter
17) Endless Corp's Recruitment thread was the longest in the Corporation forum
18) Seeing SSI's involvement in EVE as a good thing
19) Stress testing the servers
20) Pann *snicker*
21) Rinny Wee doing voice intro samples for Sabaoth Inc.
22) When BSI's original music samples came out
23) The Eve Stratagy Guide on sale at CompUSA, with Corporation examples and histories, and seeing Endless as the last one.
24) TheDeviant *sniffle*
25) Deadline *sniffle*
26) The Unquiet Void: Heaven being stickied in the Eve Library
27) The original EVE music mp3's I have on my harddrive
30) The worst thing you could do to a corp was infiltrate and spy on its forums.
31) Knowing the reason why HG is not a GM right now
32) SirMolle only being Molle
33) Prime Fiction being added on a regular basis.
34) Character creation was a bit more to it like adding phobias, skill specialties, and the avatar and naming of the character being at the end.
I'm old, few are older than me and active.

1)...when listening to the Eve Jukebox was really cool.
Vin Diesel claims he has never hailed a taxi. He just runs up to them at stop lights, opens the door, shoves the current passenger over, and tells the cab driver what his new destination is. |

When the 0.0 regions had serial numbers instead of names. Everybody complaining when FIX was renamed to 'Querious'...
Used to mine bistot in my Moa up in Deklein when it was still a serial number. No stations, no alliances, hardly anyone about...
Systems I've visited:
AGG-NR: 2 visits
Last visited: 2003.12.07 21.37.00
