So in Eve, when you can fly 95% of all craft in various permutations and don't miss the bacon
On the forums, when you have been:
Visited by Chribba at least once (in post) Been berated by Tippia 30 times Remember who Ginger magician was and ragequit twice. \o/ I'm both an in-game and a forum newbie! Forever! Yay!
I just realized that we started the game in the same month and the same NPC corp.
Creepy.
Meanwhile Tippia has become a forum legend- and all I got was these lousy goggles.
Just think of how bad an average post by me is, and then realize half of them are even worse |

When Eve launched it used to have an official IRC channel where you could buy and sell stuff and ask questions about the game, some staff/gms were also there I think (it's 10 years ago now, i'm struggling to remember). Concurrent players was about 2000-3000.
I started playing 2 weeks after beta and me and a RL friend were mining Arkonor or whatever that orange **** is in 0.0 in frigs. We literally didn't see any other players for 2 weeks - jump after jump 0.0 was totally and utterly empty, forever. I flew to the edge of the galaxy without seeing anyone. I played for about 6 weeks in 2003 before quitting and starting Eve again in 2006. I wasn't in "hubs" much in 2003 but I didn't see a single player in a cruiser in all that time.
The game is totally different now. I do slightly long for a time when everyone was **** at the game and hadn't figured out how it works and knew exactly what to do. Everything is such a known quantity now. People are flying EFT perfected cookie cutter ships all the time. Stuff seemed a lot more random and chaotic back then because people were still figuring out the game.
Eve has attracted a lot of bottom feeders too since then, the sort of people that spend all their time griefing miners, station camping in empire or spend their entire eve life in one single low sec system waiting to drop a carrier on someone. There were no falcon alts, no boosting ships sat cloaked in a safe spot, no cloaks in fact.
Also the whole bittervet thing pisses me off although it's often tounge-in-cheek for some people (i.e. they still love and play Eve). If you feel bitterness or think you've got some sort of special status because you played a videogame for a long time you need to go outside more often.

if you have to discuss what a "bittervet" is... then you are not one.
if you label yourself as one... you are not.
i am not a bittervet and never will be :D |

heh, i remember all of those things
also, yulai as the main trade hub
0.0 was empty, you could go days without seeing more then 10 players total
nearly all pvp was 1-5 players, blobs were more of a "WTF? someone gathered 20 people to fly together??"
majority of my friends did quit eve, i'm down to mabey, 3, of the 30+ people i flew with 8 years ago
and when you suddenly realize you joined eve at 20 years old, in the beta, and i'm now 31... wow time has passed..
edit: MINES! i used to love messing with mines, even if they were pointless still dream of getting them back in.. |

A Veteran could be a 2 days old player.
What matters to be Veteran is to have learned that what for everybody else is a problem, to you it may be an opportunity. Sometimes the opportunity.
While they'll sulk and cry in a corner, the Veteran will adapt and overcome and then actually use the situation at his advantage. Auditing | Collateral holding and insurance | Consulting | PLEX for Good Charity

I would not consider anyone (including myself) as a Veteran simply because the definition is too broad. However if you mean experienced then sure I can agree. No one is above reproach or learning in this game and if you think you are, will pay for it in one way or another. |

For me the mark of a Veteran is having a screen shot of the jetcan you just dropped "Tagging" Eve Gate with "Diablo Was Here". Diablo Ex Machina - "I'm not here to fix your problem" |

You're a "vet" when you no longer pay real money to sub your accounts.
ISK is ISK, strictly speaking, but when you have enough -- acquired by whatever means that tickles your fancy -- then you've achieved a certain essential grasp of the opportunities that EVE offers AND how to use them to your advantage.
Beats the Hell out of paying real coin.
