I am not the oldest on here, nor am I the youngest. I started Eve because a college friend of mine had already been playing Eve, so I watched how he played Eve and slowly became more and more interested in it. I eventually took the plunge and bought a 30 day ETC (back when you could still get them). I created my first character here Mal on Feburary 14th 2008 (Ironic timing if I do say so myself). We and a few others we met in game decided to form a corp and we puttered around a bit before we had to disband temporarily to avoid a wardec, once the wardec was over we rejoined and joined my first alliance.
We chilled in this alliance for awhile until it became clear that we were never going to be able to grow our current corp (people kept leaving or we kept recruiting trials), so we joined a fellow Corp in the Alliance. Then a series of wardecs killed our alliance lol.
Around this time was when I started getting my first tastes of PVP, and although I sucked horribly at it I was hooked.
Around the time our Alliance started to collapse I was given an offer from one of my friends in corp to join him and a few others in LFC in Executive Outcomes. Thus around August of 2008 I went into 0.0 for the first time to live in my Eve career. Things didn't go as planned though, I was low on sp (sub 10 mil sp) and maturity wise I wasn't quite there yet. I had difficulty having the right ships for fleets and didn't feel like a fit in. So after 4 months I decided to head back to highsec to try my luck in FW. My college friend who had followed along followed suit, and so we spent a month in FW. Eventually the friend who invited us to 0.0 had also returned to highsec and restarted my old second corp. This was around January 2009, it turned out to be fortuitous as Executive Outcomes would be involved in the great BOB disbanding and lots of turmoil ensued which wouldn't have helped my low sp and immaturity.
I doodled around in highsec running missions and the like until drama started up in the corp late in 2009. We eventually split from the Second Corp and spent time time in a Third Corp used to run POSs for a few months before boredom in Spring of 2010 forced me to leave. I eventually joined a corp renting from the Initiative in Detorid, so I spent around 2 months with them relearning null. However leadership went afk and the corp quickly started to collapse so I left, and was given the opportunity to rejoin the remnants of LFC in my current corp The Executives in the summer of 2010.
In 2010 The Executives were part of IT Alliance (or BOB mark II), and eventually we went on to be in a coalition which controlled 4 regions. During this time we lived in Fountain and from 2010 until 2011 when IT Alliance was booted from 0.0 I did pvp in fleets and dabbled in different parts of the game. A big highlight was getting on my first titan kill on January 1st 2011. Once It Alliance was booted from nullsec we dabbled around Minmatar lowsec for awhile and then moved to Stain. Later on that same year we were given the opportunity to return to Fountain by TEST under our old moniker Executive Outcomes and thus we became the only member of both the HBC and CFC.
Life for me was mostly PVP fleets and 0.0 industry which funded it. However HBC and CFC started to have a drama bomb so we were forced to choose sides and thus gave up our holdings in Fountain and went to Cloud Ring in 2012. Essentially since then my story has remained the same. I was involved in the battle of B-R and got on several super capital kills. I just PVP and do 0.0 industry. It actually has been nice to have a stable home compared to my early history of instability. I am going on 4 years this summer with the same corp. I don't plan on leaving Eve anytime soon.
Plus side is that because I have always remained subscribed my main has been able to train almost continuously (there was a 6 month stretch before multiple character training I was training an alt), the 10 mil sp which used to hamper me in 2008 is almost 100 mil sp now and I have experience to make it work.
