Vydek Daamth	Posted - 2005.05.12 06:21:00 - [18] Edited by: Vydek Daamth on 12/05/2005 06:34:12 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
Koval	Posted - 2005.05.12 06:24:00 - [19] .. 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
Tredegar	Posted - 2005.05.12 06:30:00 - [20] 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. "I may be a craven little coward, but I'm a greedy craven little coward." Daffy Duck

Vydek Daamth	Posted - 2005.05.12 06:47:00 - [25] Originally by: Tredegar 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!!

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.
