My very first EVE experience was in 2010 i think.
I read it on a forum about a game that takes place in space, planets, stars and you can do there wat you want.
It was already midnight, bored and i was sick of playing shooters so i made a trial account en logged in.
Because i never played a mmo, beside a regular single player rpg, the first startup was chaos.
All those buttons, all those tabs, all those numbers i saw i and got an instant headache.
Some womans voice talked to me about docking in a station. I was thinking "wtf, station? Where and how do i get there?" I didn't even found the warp to button in the menu and was literally lost in space. So a couple of minutes later i quit and never played EVE for over 3 years.
3 years later i was more experienced in MMO's en suddenly i saw a EVE online banner.
This time was different, it was on a windy sunday and got all the time in the world.
So i downloaded the trial again en started this char. This time the intro was more helpful en taked my time to read all the things.
Did the tutorial and was very impressed about my Rapier. Then a venture, burst, trasher followed and finished the 5 starter agents. "So what now?" i was thinking, so i grabbed my venture en fitted it with a civilian mining laser en started mining.
That was the moment when i fell in love with this game.
I sat there in the starter system (Embod minnie space) mining while the lightrays of the sun shined upon the asteroids and this song started playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5mnCRN1Bco
The next day i saw that i needed an industrial to ship goods so i subbed and used the Wreathe that i got via a starter agent.
So for the next days i did nothing but mining, hour after hour while in the meantime reading faq's, tips, tricks about this game. Each evening after i had a nice shower till i got to bed for another workday. Eventually skilled to fly a retriever and mined, mined, mined...and read all the things!
Then i switched to security missions using my Trasher and went out to the SoE epic arc.
When i came back to my homesystem (still in Embod) i skilled for a cruiser. A couple of days later i got an Stabber Fleet en fitted it for lvl 3 missions. Did a whole bunch of them, but after a while i felt so lonely.
So i searched for a dutch corp, found one en moved all my things to a system 15 jumps out. It was a pve miner/mission corp and 2 evenings a week we did some fleet mining with a orca and a freighter.
At that time i skilled some PI skills and started my first colony. Because highsec pi is not very profitable i putted buy orders in some lowsec systems a few jumps out and switched to factory planets. Every day i jumped to those systems, collected the goods en flew back. There i lost my first ship at a gatecamp (luckily it was empty) and got away with my pod. I was doing this for over months. Each month i grabbed all the selfmade pi items en sold it in Hek and Rens. Because i buyed them very cheap i got a very nice profit of over 50% and maked my first billlion.
Because i was bored with mining and corp mining in general, i left and started my own private corp to avoid taxes.
I searched for a good system and found a system where there was a lowsec system between high sec systems.
Traffic there was very low so this was a good spot for setting up my pi again.
Meanwhile i was skilled enough to do lvl 4 en fitted a Maelstrom.
After a couple of months pi, missioning, hauling, bit of trading, i got bored off it and decided to join a nullsec corp for pvp.
After a bit of searching i came to a corp which was a member of the CFC. So i sold all my belongings, selfdestructed and woke up in Branch.
Setted up my beloved and money making PI and created an alt who did the same.
Then a new game opened up for me. Joined every fleet i could, did roaming, deployment and saw my very first Titan and super. It was amazing! Huge that that thing was...
In peace time i did some scanning, joined in pve fleets for anomaly's and so on...it was the best time in all my EVE career.
But 6 months ago a change came in my RL so i sold everything, left null and stopped my sub asap.
And now i'am back to this game. Today i recieved an invite to go back to the place i was before i left the game and now its time to pick up where i left.
