adopt We Need A Home 44	Posted - 2011.10.11 15:16:00 - [1] - Quote I undocked, saw some guy flashing red shat bricks, started shooting him, lost my atron, been playing eve for 10 minutes Shadoo > Always remember to fit Cynosural Field Generator I, have 450 Liquid Ozone in your cargo and convo a friendly Pandemic Legion member if you have a capital or super capital ship tackled.
Scarlett Anstian DPB Corporation 2	Posted - 2011.10.11 15:21:00 - [2] - Quote I logged in for the first time, saw something called 'Learning Skills' and quit the game
Cipher Jones 82	Posted - 2011.10.11 15:24:00 - [3] - Quote Tried the old old tutorials and had to smoke a bowl to not break ****. Eve is NOT twitch based! Then someone gave me 500k and I made a mining rifter. See what happens when fat neckbeards try to ride little ponies? The ponies die.
Runawaypally Ministry of War Amarr Empire 0	Posted - 2011.10.11 16:06:00 - [4] - Quote Was during the time of the neutered concord, flew to Hedion to get my combat tutorial started, when this huge ship (in comparison to my lil noob frig) warped on top of the station with me, insta locked and poped me. This continued for another 20min or so before I finally quit trying for about 2 years before coming back to the game, damned if I can remember that original account name though
Kilrayn Caldari Provisions 34	Posted - 2011.10.11 16:23:00 - [5] - Quote Just finished the explo tut and decided to see what I could find. Found some gurista site (likely a ded site, I was too young to know what it was at the time). There were approx 20 or so rats, and myself in a cormorant. The cormy was SOOOO much better than that little frig they just gave me, so this should be fine right? Locked on nearest rat and opened fire. About 5 seconds later, all I see is a massive volley of missiles heading towards me. About 5 seconds later, my ship is voilenced to death In the beginning, the Universe was created. This has angered numerous people for many different reasons and is widely considered as a 'bad move'.
Nova Fox Novafox Shipyards 43	Posted - 2011.10.11 16:24:00 - [6] - Quote Watching the intro movie and going awwwww. Then again it was different back then and bit more upbeat.
The Old Chap Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 17	Posted - 2011.10.11 16:47:00 - [7] - Quote Made a Minmatar character and flew all the way to amarr space, expecting some pew-pew. Nothing happened! Then I met a mOo patrol in Emrayeur. Look into my eyes...-á-á and tighten that sphincter, kid.
Mr Epeen It's All About Me 365	Posted - 2011.10.11 16:51:00 - [8] - Quote I furiously attacked my WASD keys to no avail. Uninstalled EVE later that day. Mr Epeen If you can read this, you haven't blocked me yet.
majorbonghits We Need A Home 0	Posted - 2011.10.11 16:54:00 - [9] - Quote When I first started EVE, many ages ago, I was greeted kindly by GM Tegrino, stayed ever since, with the occasional break

CCP Navigator C C P C C P Alliance 155	Posted - 2011.10.11 17:02:00 - [10] - Quote One of my first experiences was undocking in a Kestrel and watching corp mates fighting in torp Ravens and Megathrons. Explosions everywhere and I was asked to start tackling. I had no clue what I was doing and just sat there getting shot. Good times. Oh yeah, nothing has changed much, i still just get shot and die regularly on player accounts CCP Navigator - Lead Community Representative


Lord Ryan Derailleurs 28	Posted - 2011.10.11 17:43:00 - [11] - Quote Don't remember which event happen first. Some guy in local kept asking if someone would please kill him. I said OK, locked him up in my reaper and clicked F1. Not sure if my guns cycled before I got concorded. He had a laugh and sent me "1 MILLION ISK". I was rich and I got one of those skull and bone things next to my name. Some kid I think he was russian or 10 years old, I'm not sure. Anyways he invited everybody in rookie chat to a fleet. One of the guys was already in a corp and had a friend with Abaddon and level 4 agent.. So something like 30 of us traveled 20 jumps(OMG 20 jumps thats going to take hours!) to Amarr space to run missions. Did I mention is was like 4am US TZ, and I was drunk. Pretty sure the majority of the fleet were children and all on trial accounts. We had a blast. Serious, probably more fun than I've had since. We had to go through hundreds of noob ships that night. I don't think the kid who started the fleet ever logged on again. I don't know if I would have subbed if not for that night. It seemed like a cool game, but as aconsole gamer I just couldn't see paying every month for the same game. -á I want to fly a badass Mon Calamari stlye-ácruiser painted to match my Tron clothes.
Captain Kyon VIRTUAL LIFE VANGUARD Initiative Mercenaries 2	Posted - 2011.10.11 17:45:00 - [12] - Quote i was asked to join a corp name "Avian Of The Way" on my 1st day (or 2nd) i didn't know anything about the game so they thought me how to mine.... i was horrified cause it was so boring so i stopped playing.... then a month afterwards i saw an ad showing combat in EvE, i then immediately reinstalled

Well I thought I was so smart, oh yeah I was drunk than too. So anyways I'm thinking I can just stay up all night and mine, I'll be rich by the morning. Had no idea that mining was a career, or that most systems had belts. Didn't even know how to find a belt, I was just going to mine that one rock. Don't think I lasted 15 minutes. I said f**k it I'll just make money the hard way and do some missions. -á I want to fly a badass Mon Calamari stlye-ácruiser painted to match my Tron clothes.
Kinroi Alari Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters Important Internet Spaceship League 2	Posted - 2011.10.11 18:01:00 - [14] - Quote One of my office mates who hasn't played in years (Maud Dib, used to be with JF, IIRC most of his kills predate Battleclinic) skipped the tutorial back in 2003, undocked, locked up the station, and started shooting. Glorious! ^_^
Scortched Merc Caldari Provisions Caldari State 33	Posted - 2011.10.11 18:09:00 - [15] - Quote The first thing I did was to start the grind.... and things havent changed much since.
Vizvayu Koga Angry Rabbits 3	Posted - 2011.10.11 18:13:00 - [16] - Quote I went thru most of the tutorials at first. Didn't want to travel too much at first because I wasn't sure how to get back "home" lol I remember being overwhelmed by so many windows and stuff, took me a while to understand the interface, how to travel, bookmarks and such. Remember my first trip to Jita, to get some modules at a good price... I hated so much the local than escaped almost immediately. Then started doing L1s in my Condor, I loved it. When I had enough money I got a Cormorant and things started to feel slower... now I have a BS but barely use it because it is so slow... so I'm mostly doing low level plexes in a fast cruiser.

Karn Dulake Souls Must Be Trampled The.Alliance 28	Posted - 2011.10.11 18:24:00 - [18] - Quote I did not know that there was any difference between hull, armour and shields so i used to come home after every mission on fire. I saw it as a badge of honour.
Samroski Games Inc. EVE Trade Consortium 4	Posted - 2011.10.11 18:28:00 - [19] - Quote Having played Elite, I bought some frozen food and spirits and carried them around from station to station trying to sell them for a profit. The best price I got was 80% below the cost of the items.
Lord Ryan Derailleurs 28	Posted - 2011.10.11 18:36:00 - [20] - Quote Running lvl 4's in low sec on one of my old charcters. Yeah I did it twice!

Garbad theWeak Blackwater USA Inc. Against ALL Authorities 2	Posted - 2011.10.11 18:47:00 - [21] - Quote I undocked and saw a guy attack a cargo hauler. He killed him and then was killed by the police. I saw the wreck there and started wondering... ...so I flew up and saw all this mineral stuff. I figured it had to be worth money so I stole it all and flew it back to station, one ibis load at a time. I cleaned out the entire hauler, then sold it all and earned some crazy profits, like 500k. But I was terrified the people would find me and kill me for stealing, so i deleted the char and made a new one :D
Something Random The Barrow Boys 8	Posted - 2011.10.11 19:07:00 - [22] - Quote I had the Eve wouldnt startup experience...... left it a while.... petitioned.....answer.....disabled audio card..... got in and did the tuts. OK - not really an experience, so probably my lasting early memory..... After about 2 weeks of playing i had got into a group of regular players on at my time, we started a corp and began.... mining away heavily. Doing some missions. Stuff. One day we decided to mine in Ravarin.... IT HAD JASPET !!!!!! shiny..... 5 minutes into the session of about 7 miners and a hauler, our best ship was a thorax and i think i was in a Imicus with shiny tech 2 lasers. SHIP!!!! - From nowhere!!!! explosions..... lots of explosions..... yelling...... panic...... lots of clicking..... warp...... 15km to gate slow boating......... repeat........ SAFE!!!!! About 5 minutes later i really thought hard about that. We were a good large group of grown Men and a Woman totally destroyed by one measly ship...... Hooked further. (edit) Ok, another great moment was finally getting my Thorax and going into Egghelende to get the juicy expensive rats with my 250 rails..... watching my shield and armour get stripped VERY quickly by a kestrel and having Tub0rg boat up in a Scorp and give me the ransom schpeeel. Salute to the Beer & Kebabs crew o7
Trainwreck McGee Center for Advanced Studies Gallente Federation 45	Posted - 2011.10.11 19:11:00 - [23] - Quote Im the kind guy that is stupid and thinks he doesn't need instructions for things So i spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to get anywhere in this ***** game Then said ** it and started reading the wiki CCP Trainwreck - Weekend Custodial Engineer / CCP Necrogoats foot stool

Eventually I found the forums and made ingame friends. Probably more hard headed than you! -á I want to fly a badass Mon Calamari stlye-ácruiser painted to match my Tron clothes.
Nyssa Litari Pator Tech School Minmatar Republic 4	Posted - 2011.10.11 19:56:00 - [25] - Quote A few years ago, on my first character, I had completed the tutorials and decided to earn money for a cruiser. I was so excited because I had just read about this technique called jetcanning. You mean I don't have to return to the station every time my little Navitas fills up?!? I had an Iteron and that little Navi and I was just going to jetcan a little fortune... So after raging in local at the can flipper for stealing my ore (I didn't shoot him, I at least knew better than that), I cooled down and apologized. We got to talking about can flipping and I asked a few questions. He taught me about anchoring, secure containers, and mining turn points. While I've never engaged in the tactic myself, from that experience I came to view can flipping as a legitimate play activity in Eve.
R0ot North Eastern Swat Pandemic Legion 1	Posted - 2011.10.11 20:38:00 - [26] - Quote Getting killed in a kestrel going into low sec because I bought a module without knowing how the market worked and being killed by 2 members of Euphoria Released. http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=611523 Good times.
The Apostle The Black Priests 241	Posted - 2011.10.11 21:31:00 - [27] - Quote Undocked in a rookie ship in 1.0 noob space and saw a Hyperion sitting on station for the first time. Yelled out to my son that this must be a Titan.... Look how fn big this thing is....... WOW..... etc..... Vowed I was gonna get me one of them... oohh... ahhhh.... Been playing 3 years, have 7 chars.

Cozmik R5 Dock 94 37	Posted - 2011.10.11 21:50:00 - [29] - Quote Buying one of my first skill books in Bastard-infested Metropolis space and living to tell about it as space was empty. Shout out to Lady Luck !!! Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.
Theodemir Nemesis Holdings Corp Luna Sanguinem 7	Posted - 2011.10.11 22:09:00 - [30] - Quote After doing the tutorial, a friend of mine already in the game came along and gave me some skillbooks, implants and a coercer. Not having a clue whats what, went to do a mission and blew up the destroyer. Scramming drones are a *****! Also some training time later, being super chuffed fitting 7 t2 turrets onto the destroyer, felt epic

My first real experience; I flew a kestrel into Syndicate to see what was so scary about nullsec, got past the 6-CZ gatecamp somehow and flew back into the Groon pocket. I shot a hulk in a belt but his drones nearly nuked me so I ran...then because I couldn't kill any of the rats, I cautiously flew to belts and looted the wrecks of the ratting trash that no one ever takes, flew it to the nearest station and reprocessed/sold it. Thought I was rich because I was making SO MUCH with every full load. Think I did this for like 2 hours, sweating the whole time.
Spurty V0LTA VOLTA Corp 31	Posted - 2011.10.11 22:42:00 - [32] - Quote Undocked and was in awe First time I warped and went "THROUGH" a planet, I think I 'ducked' a little. Funny ---- CONCORD arrested two n00bs yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let the other one off.

Hans Jagerblitzen Autocannons Anonymous 115	Posted - 2011.10.11 23:09:00 - [35] - Quote I was in a rifter, was bored of missions (I had done about 10 of them) and so I decided to do a little touring to another area of space. I set my autopilot up, took note of the route, it was mostly green but I decided one red blip would be easy to skip through, since I was quick. I jumped into a system that had numbers for its name, and BEHOLD! I saw a giant sparkly bubble of crackling energy - it was soooo beautiful. Sirens, death, and than I woke up in a strange system..... It was a surreal experience, it took me a little bit to piece together what had happened. Fast forward a few months, and I'm flying a Hound and learning to LOVE the bubble :) For I had discovered bombs....
adopt We Need A Home 46	Posted - 2011.10.11 23:17:00 - [36] - Quote Please continue to share your stories Shadoo > Always remember to fit Cynosural Field Generator I, have 450 Liquid Ozone in your cargo and convo a friendly Pandemic Legion member if you have a capital or super capital ship tackled.
Aidan Brooder Dynasphere Ltd. 43	Posted - 2011.10.11 23:26:00 - [37] - Quote First experience: Why can't I get off that spaceship when docked? Felt strange after character creation. Second experience: "OH chill, I KNEW how to hit those rats AND evade them!" clicking modules at random First kewl experience: Fighting and losing against the corp that then let me join with my first char.
Lord Amaterasu Carebears online 4	Posted - 2011.10.12 02:24:00 - [38] - Quote On my first trial attempt I created gallente char who somehow after couple days of mission running had ended up to jita in caracal(Don't ask me how. It just happened during Empyrean age). After this I started taking courier contracts for more isk which led me to take a contract that led to the 0.0. After putting most of my isk to that contract I decided that I will get the stuff to the station. Immediately after I entered low-sec I got hit by a gatecamp. Which ofcourse destroyed my caracal. After I was podded (my clone was in jita) I bought a new caracal and went back to get the packet so I could deliver it to its desdination... And got podded again. This repeated 2-3 times after which I had lost all my ISK. Immediately after this I deleted the character and left the game for sometime.
Lyris Nairn GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 1247	Posted - 2011.10.12 02:44:00 - [39] - Quote My very first experience in EVE was logging in as a Vherokior female with this character name, undocking in a pile of rust and deciding right there that Minmatar was terrible; so, I re-rolled as Caldari.
Adunh Slavy Ammatar Trade Syndicate 10	Posted - 2011.10.12 03:13:00 - [40] - Quote Wandering into low sec on my first day to go kick some ass in my ibis. Ibis suck BTW.

Sir Substance Tactical Knightmare 50	Posted - 2011.10.12 03:15:00 - [41] - Quote I undocked, warped to the tutorial area, and the game crashed. So I relogged, the ship warped back to the tutorial area automatically and the game crashed. Kinda set the tone for the next 4 years TBH.
Montevius Williams Trigger works 8	Posted - 2011.10.12 04:24:00 - [42] - Quote Made a toon, started in Space, had NO idea what I was supposed to do, quit game. Came back two weeks later after convincing my self to stay with it, learned the ropes and have been playing for over two years now.
adopt We Need A Home 47	Posted - 2011.10.12 09:33:00 - [43] - Quote Ok, i'll spill the beans on the second thing that happened to me in EVE. Was doing a 2/10 in my trusty catalyst named "Rusty" was looking through cans for things to loot, stole some meta 4 hardners from a wreck, the other guy in the 2/10 warped off, I thought, great, all mine, he came back in a navy slicer Shadoo > Always remember to fit Cynosural Field Generator I, have 450 Liquid Ozone in your cargo and convo a friendly Pandemic Legion member if you have a capital or super capital ship tackled.
J'Poll IMPERIAL LEGI0N 8	Posted - 2011.10.12 11:16:00 - [44] - Quote As with any other game I was what the ****, tutorials, let's skip that, totally not need that. Next 2 weeks I was trying to find out HOW to fly ships and how eve worked (so to all new guys do the tutorials). Then finally found a corp that was doing the stuff I liked to do until we got wardecced (this was in my 3rd or 4rd week in EVE). I never knew we were at war (didn't know we had notifications) and undocked like 10 to 20 times from a station where about 5 war targets were right on the undock Those guys did get a lot of killmails from my part until one of them was nice enough to PC me and explain to me how war mechanics etc worked he even refunded all stuff I had lost that day.

ACY GTMI Veerhouven Group The Veerhouven Group 11	Posted - 2011.10.12 12:28:00 - [45] - Quote July 18th, 2009. Logged on, started the tutorials. Didn't have a clue. This went on for several days. Finally decided to be a Courier. The thing I remember most is that everything I tried worked, and the game went up and down as advertised. I had high hopes then.
asspiston We Need A Home 16	Posted - 2011.10.12 13:08:00 - [46] - Quote Many ages ago, when I first started EVE, we got war dec'd by a corporation called Nova Ardour, I had been playing EVE for 12 days, so, sitting on the dodixie undock, waiting for our humble war targets. They undocked after 5 minutes, Navy Mega, Dominix and a Armageddon, we had 12 t1 cruisers, Me and my trusty Thorax, "Steel Rogue's Thorax" started to engage the Navy Mega, while 2 Blackbirds jammed the geddon and domi, we started applying DPS to the Navy Mega, had it down to 1/4 armor, then we lost jams on the domi, it got rep'd, and we all died slowly. After that, didn't play eve for a year, till my friend invited me back been here ever since. That was 3 years ago.

Brettskibols BOLSOVER The Fall From Grace Journeys End Alliance 1	Posted - 2011.10.12 14:40:00 - [49] - Quote About 2 years ago, did all the tutorials the game had, went out to mine and got podded by a ganking player. Continued to play until the grace period of the free trail ended and forgot about eve. Tried it again int he early part of this year and fell in love with it.
Lord Ryan Derailleurs 34	Posted - 2011.10.12 14:58:00 - [50] - Quote Lyris Nairn wrote: My very first experience in EVE was logging in as a Vherokior female with this character name, undocking in a pile of rust and deciding right there that Minmatar was terrible; so, I re-rolled as Caldari. Yeah my 1st character was Lord Ryan of the same blood line the current Lord Ryan. Created him cause he looked like me. Once I logged in and saw the Reaper, I logged out and created a Gallente Character on the same account. The Gall had the best looking ships, so he became my main for the next year or so. A couple weeks(months?) later I got a power of 2 account, so I BIO-ed Lord Ryan and remade him on the power of 2 account. I cross trained(big no-no at the time) him so he could sit in all the faction ship and rarly undocked. At one point he could sit in just about every subcap ship but couldn't fit anything over samll t1 guns. After a year or so of playing I realized gall ships kind of suck and Lord Ryan was ready to undock. Yeah that's what I looked like when I started Eve. Now I'm old, bald and fat. -á I want to fly a badass Mon Calamari stlye-ácruiser painted to match my Tron clothes.
