Hello all. I'm making this thread as a sort of trip down memory lane. As well as a history lesson for some of the new dudes around.
The year you started playing eve. What was different then it is now.
Please list only one thing so many others can post as well.
Off the top of my head. It was prob warp to zero. |

Myrmi could field 5 heavies. BoB was "the bad guy" patch week One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia |

So much was different when I started playing that its hard to list it all but here goes.
No Battlecruisers No Destroyers No Capital Ships No POS No Cloaking No Probing No ORE Ships No Level 4 Missions No Tier 3 Battleships No Stacking Penalties No Bubbles No Wrecks or salvaging No Rigs You could fit multiple mwds on ships for insane speed Mining Laser II was the only tech 2 item in game The closest you could warp to anything was 15km unless you had a bookmark Thorax could field 8 heavy drones Torps went off like smartbombs when they hit, causing splash damage Isk was worth something, my thorax was an expensive ship to fly at 7m isk.
Am I bitter? Extremely

3 Day Trials Extremely basic tutorials (shoot this rat; mine this rock; now off you go) Battleships and Interceptors were the best ships Thorax's with Miner IIs were the best mining ships no level 4, let alone level 5 agents. no LP Curse, Phoenix, Stain and Fountain Alliances were the big names on the map Exodus expansion was codenamed 'Shiva' The PINK thorax!! |

Missiles did splash damage. It made using missiles in high-sec somewhat risky.
Torpedoes skill increased the splash radius, so people never trained it above 1. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori. |

No skillqueue... A hardcore time management.
Countining months until Incarna and hurray when at least something have been released, at last RIP... in 2007 i've thought it's a sci-fi simulator, not an "e-sports" game. I'm not a teenager, how would i like it much? [-á-¦-¦-Ç-â-é-+-+-¦] -£-¦-¦-+-+-+-¦ -¦-+-Ç-+-+-Ç-¦-å-+-Å Transtellar |

No Skill Queue, so you set 2am alarms to wake you up to switch training if a skill fell into the mid point of your next login.
Old style scanning that required different types of probes depending on the type of site you were looking for and was often frustrating.

Started playing EVE in Alpha 8, Sept 2002, and it certainly was different as in it was full of error messages that just kept poping up till you ragequit'ed. I remember they did a Top 100 of hours played and Top 100 of logins and I was nowhere to be seen on the 1st, pretty 1st on the second.
Also, scorps that flew AUs/s. That was fun. |

Mine are extremely recent, as I've only been around here for 9 months, but here goes.
GÇó FW Plex buttons were 70km away from the warp in GÇó Gate guns held grudges GÇó The Tristan sucked GÇó Can flipping was a more personal matter GÇó Lasers had a very confusing name system GÇó ASB's held 10 of the smallest (normal) cap booster they could fit GÇó Whelpcanes GÇó NanoDrakes GÇó What's Dust?
There are many more I'm sure, but that's all I could get off the top of my head
