Has anyone reached the EVE Gate itself? Can you be "torn apart by magnetic storms of the EVE Gate"? If you can reach it, how far is it to get there?
Just curious,

Nope, its just part of the background of the system.

Actually I heard from a friend of a friend that there was this guy he knew who found out where the original Eve gate was supposed to be in the game. You see, there is no jump gate IN to the system any more but the original gate out still is and it (supposedly) works. All you have to find is the right COSMOS EVE gate key which this guy had.
Well, he found the nearest system (about 1.6 light years) from where the hidden Eve gate system is, pointed his highly capped and Microwarp fitted ship in that direction and set off. You see he was going to set bookmarks on the way so that he could sell them to people willing to warp out there for sight seeing.
The thing is he has never come back, my friend says. He knows the guy logs in as he is in the address book but for weeks he never replied to any eve-mails or chat requests. My friend (Mark Warhound if you are interested) thinks that there must be a rule where, if you get too far from a system then Eve won't send you any comms anymore and that this guy must be like 1000's of AU away by now.
It must be different spending hours of game time just peering into the cold silent distance of space with no suns, ships or people anywhee near you. Even if you did Wapr back to civilisation it would probably take seveal hours and you have to trust that your deep space bookmarks will still work....

It has made me wonder what would happen if you were to fly an inty in one direction for long enough, could you actually get into another system? Or would you hit an imaginary wall?
Either the systems would have physical boundaries in which case you may or may not be able to cross them, or the programming would make it appear that you have flown hundreds of au's from a particular point without you actually going anywhere.

I'm sorry if I find this a little hard to believe but even when travelling at 100k km/second that would take almost 5 years, could ships go even faster back then?
Gar. I'm such a doofus. You even admit it's an urban legend. My name is forever tainted!

you need to use gates to enter another system (not talking capital or GM powers) the systems got no borders but you don't get to another system even if you travel the distance manually...

Space is too big to manually fly to another system.... Each system is millions of km across, it'd take you years.

You used to be able to fit more than one MWD.
A scorpion with 8 MWDs pre-cap-penalty could break warp speed.

according to my calculations about 160 million km/s
THAT is fast..
i wish they had a server where we could expirence all these old things ourself rather than jstu hear stories about it.

Like Dark said, ships went faster back then and children were more respectful. It was both the best of times and worst of times. I remember when 1 ISK could buy you a whole faction cfrigate complete with weapons and ammo....

...every time you fired a turret you had to get out and carry the shell over to the other ship and impact it against it's shields.
Those were the days.
