Angela Toren	Posted - 2006.06.30 14:03:00 - [1] Edited by: Angela Toren on 30/06/2006 14:03:06 Wow I just read lots of threads from the beginning of this forum around 03 and things seemed to be quite exciting back then! My question is to veterans or people that were playing when the game literally started. 1. Do you still play as much now as back then? 2. Today are you a Leader, a follower or somewhere inbetween? 3. Do you have any ambitions or plans left in EVE? 4. How do you think eve has changed since the early days? 5. What aspect of gameplay would you bring back if you could?

Taurequis	Posted - 2006.06.30 14:12:00 - [6] Hi, 1. No way. had to regain some form of real life. 2. Inbetween 3. Hell yes. One of which is never to stop playing. 4. No matter what people say, it has changed for the better. 5. The sense of massive exploration and the emptyness of space. Living on the edge of nothingness with no other pilot in 20 jumps, the feeling that no other person has ever seen the belt or moon your at, ever... Best Regards, Taurequis

What aspect of gameplay would you bring back if you could? 1) Not quite as much, but the difference is minimal 2) Leader 3) Yes, Capital ships and 0.0 without an alliance 4) It's changed in just about every way 5) I can't think of anything in particular; even POS are an improvement over station ping-pong. Cruise missile kestrels, while cool, are obviously imbalanced.
DB Preacher	Posted - 2006.06.30 14:23:00 - [12] 1. Most of the time I don't unless there is a major operation on which requires all of BoB to roll. Now I can split my times happily between my other activities irl without constantly having to be on eve 23/7. 2. Difficult question. Within RKK I don't lead the day to day stuff of RKK but still lead the fleets when needed. I don't deal with logistics because I am crap at it but still assist where possible and poke people into doing it. I am still responsible for making sure that people do not mess up within the corp and have to deal with people who step out of line. Within BoB I assist in the decision making of the leadership of BoB and am one of the main FC's if we go into combat. 3. Yes, of course, we are building up towards a full capital fleet, a full set of T2 BPO's, complete control of the 0.0 alliances and then we'll have a look at the Empires. 4. Eve has changed alot since the early days. Ignoring the game mechanics, our corporation is alot more laid back than it used to be. Everything we do is with one eye on the long term future whereas everything we used to do was with one eye on the next battle or next day. The pvp is eve as such has slowed down with the cowardice of many alliances meaning that there is very few who are prepared to go toe to toe with us over an extended period of time, unlike the long term battle in the GNW. The pirates are a non-entity in 0.0 along with most solitary pvp corporations and the game is all about Empire building. 5. Nothing, I never look back wishing that things were like they were, only forwards to what we can make things to come. dbp Current RKK Ranking: (PSCAL6) Proficient Short Tanto
Fi T'Zeh	Posted - 2006.06.30 14:24:00 - [13] 1. Do you still play as much now as back then? No, but I now have a full time job now, instead of being unemployed. 2. Today are you a Leader, a follower or somewhere inbetween? Somewhere in between 3. Do you have any ambitions or plans left in EVE? Molle isn't Amarr emperor yet 4. How do you think eve has changed since the early days? Manufacturing etc is much more complex, there were no POS (omg the joy). However I think overall things are a lot better, it's easy to have rose tinted glasses about unbreakable scorpion shield tanks and kestrels with torps, but we're much better off now. 5. What aspect of gameplay would you bring back if you could? Random system jump in points were ftw. .... POST WITH YOUR MAIN !!!!11111one Real men use blasters

Do you have any ambitions or plans left in EVE? 4. How do you think eve has changed since the early days? 5. What aspect of gameplay would you bring back if you could? 1. nope, luckily. 2. I'm a part of the commune just like at the beginning 3. yes 4. more people, more stuff, players have gotten smarter on average and dumber down at the bottom end. 5. wars of attrition on a large scale Old blog
killerco	Posted - 2006.06.30 14:30:00 - [15] Allthough i started a month after the official release here goes :D 1. I play little less then back then(was still studying then) 2. Inbetween i guess, have had some leadership positions in my eve career. 3. Getting into a Dread/Carrier/Mothership 4. Some good things have been added and somethings could have been better 5. Nothing in particular Don't be a great man just be a man
Shokora Masaki	Posted - 2006.06.30 14:32:00 - [16] Edited by: Shokora Masaki on 30/06/2006 14:32:09 1. much lesser 2. smwr btw 3. i've barely left allready. 4. castor 4tw 5. intys with 10mn afterburner, old light missiles, Curse Alliance and old 0.0 entrance
Helplessandlost	Posted - 2006.06.30 14:32:00 - [17] I'm from Mar '04 and can give you my perspective from that period/now 1. Do you still play as much now as back then? Not as many consecutive hours but hardly a day goes by that I don't log in for some reason. I did this year purchase a third account - have had 2 since April of '04 so must still like it. 2. Today are you a Leader, a follower or somewhere inbetween? Been all three, CEO, follower and inbetween. Today I would say I'm more inbetween as time constraints do not allow me to take an overly active role at the momeent. 3. Do you have any ambitions or plans left in EVE? Yes, that is why I am still here, this game still amazes and holds my attention. I have not played another game since starting this one. As for the plans I'll let my enemies find out what those are 4. How do you think eve has changed since the early days? Dramatically, even when I first started you could spend your entire day travelling and not see a soul. Empire roid fields were huge and 0.0 was a lot more easier to get into. I too miss frigates with cruise missles and dual mwd... There was a lot more awe for lack of a better way to put it. 5. What aspect of gameplay would you bring back if you could? Gang members being able to defend other gang members. "Don't take life too seriously, nobody gets out alive!"
Galavet	Posted - 2006.06.30 14:55:00 - [18] 1. Do you still play as much now as back then? No, After three years Its hard to keep up the pace. 2. Today are you a Leader, a follower or somewhere inbetween? See my forum signature 3. Do you have any ambitions or plans left in EVE? Yes, thats how you keep the game interesting.. There is always a "next level" 4. How do you think eve has changed since the early days? Eve has changed from a space based FPS, to a space based "space tycoon" type game. I personally think for the better. 5. What aspect of gameplay would you bring back if you could? Nothing really, tho the old threat box used to give me a heart attack back in the day, could be fun to see again. Current RKK Ranking: (MIN100) CEO
Skogul	Posted - 2006.06.30 14:55:00 - [19] Originally by: Angela Toren Edited by: Angela Toren on 30/06/2006 14:03:06 1. Do you still play as much now as back then? 2. Today are you a Leader, a follower or somewhere inbetween? 3. Do you have any ambitions or plans left in EVE? 4. How do you think eve has changed since the early days? 5. What aspect of gameplay would you bring back if you could? 1. Sadly not as much as i'd like to. 2. Sort of a leader. 3. Want to try pirating 4. Much much better, however some parts are silly (POS). 5. Nothing, onwards and upwards. Regards
Tsukiko Kuro	Posted - 2006.06.30 15:07:00 - [20] (wrong char, cant change for some reason) 1. No (summertime is always low in playtime anyway, yet to see if it pick-up this fall. Will never do those 18:00 - 05:00 playsessions again thougt, as happened during my first year). 2. Solocorp 3. Not atm, see 1. 4. Both good and bad, some of the bad things; lost interest in 0.0 (there I lived for almost 3 years) due to POS, ice-mining, the 'cold-war' effect with capital ships, feelt like a never ending story of work only to keep in line with other alliances, and the result was still stalemate after many many manhours. (and yet, no matter how much you build youre own empire defence, its possible to be cruched in 2 days like BoB has demonstrated). I think the ability to clonejump the new way, to stations and certain cap ships made the galaxy smaller (in a bad way). 5. Id like to bring back the old days of real alliance politics, then you needed a reason to go to war (or atleast make up some good story), even Jade's longwinded speeches on the forum, the SA vs CA war. The feeling of beeing on the frontier in many aspects of the game, the feeling of the galaxy as realy HUGE. To travel to the edge of space before conqurable stations was in, and have the feeling you was the first out there 40+ jumps from closest station, the whole exploration part.
Amthrianius	Posted - 2006.06.30 15:07:00 - [21] 1. Do you still play as much now as back then? About the same 2. Today are you a Leader, a follower or somewhere inbetween? The First 3. Do you have any ambitions or plans left in EVE? Yes 4. How do you think eve has changed since the early days? Grown a lot 5. What aspect of gameplay would you bring back if you could? When they made bs spawns soloable instead of a group activity, ruined the game a bit imo :/ Oh and bring back teh 3 invuln, cap relay xlc5-l apoc ;\| ---------------
Einheriar Ulrich	Posted - 2006.06.30 15:21:00 - [22] 1: No full time career. 2: Director/guess somewhere in between. 3: Yes OFC 4: Much more diverse, but alas I am a bit Jaded, as a pioneer, its hard to get the same joyus feeling again. 5: Nothing really, I think Players sarting out today, have an exceptional good universe to play in, where most of the old players have changed the way it looks feels and plays.
EinaruS	Posted - 2006.06.30 15:28:00 - [23] 1. no 2. follower 3. not really 4. it has grown in people, declined in class 5. old missile prices A finger...especially the middle one, is worth more than any amount of isk
Kin Hanyerec	Posted - 2006.06.30 15:29:00 - [24] Originally by: Angela Toren 1. Do you still play as much now as back then? 2. Today are you a Leader, a follower or somewhere inbetween? 3. Do you have any ambitions or plans left in EVE? 4. How do you think eve has changed since the early days? 5. What aspect of gameplay would you bring back if you could? 1 No 2 I started as ceo now i'm a peon 3 Yes my secret ambition is to dominate the universe 4 There are more future slaves now 5 Nothing, maybe the old politics threads
Avernus	Posted - 2006.06.30 15:29:00 - [25] 1. Do you still play as much now as back then? Took a couple breaks from Eve, back to playing as much now as ever. 2. Today are you a Leader, a follower or somewhere inbetween? Corp and Alliance leadership. I currently handle diplomacy for Firmus Ixion, and stir up trouble on a regular basis. 3. Do you have any ambitions or plans left in EVE? Many and more, Eve is always evolving. The day I run out of new goals to pursue, is the day I leave Eve. 4. How do you think eve has changed since the early days? I miss the sense of exploration I used to have, of discovering things that perhaps nobody else had come across before. I'm hoping with CCP's work in this area, that is something that can be recaptured. In the beginning, Eve truely felt vast; it still is, but now it's also quite well populated. 5. What aspect of gameplay would you bring back if you could? None of them offhand. Were it not for Eve evolving on a regular basis, I would have left a long time ago. As it is, I took a break from Eve due to the length of time it took for Castor to come out. Nothing in life is quite so sweet as the taste of payback.
Nebuli	Posted - 2006.06.30 15:39:00 - [26] Originally by: Angela Toren Edited by: Angela Toren on 30/06/2006 14:03:06 Wow I just read lots of threads from the beginning of this forum around 03 and things seemed to be quite exciting back then! My question is to veterans or people that were playing when the game literally started. 1. Do you still play as much now as back then? 2. Today are you a Leader, a follower or somewhere inbetween? 3. Do you have any ambitions or plans left in EVE? 4. How do you think eve has changed since the early days? 5. What aspect of gameplay would you bring back if you could? 1. yep 2. Leader 3. Oh yeah for sure, alot of them, cant divulge though 4. How has it changed, jeez would need to right a book. 5. Hmm I kinda miss Cruise spamming kestrels tbh also I would prefer the old ECM system over the current one, the old system was imho far more balanced than it is now. CEO - Art of War
Smith	Posted - 2006.06.30 15:41:00 - [27] 1.No. I play less now. I will be there if Im needed for a big operation. 2.No. I am not a leader. But I have been lucky in that my leaders are very good at leading. 3.At the moment Im not really aiming for anything. Role on Kali. 4.Much more user friendly! Colours is you friend!!! 5.Battleships can shoot friggy's at any range
DoctorGonzo	Posted - 2006.06.30 15:51:00 - [28] 1. Do you still play as much now as back then? No, I hardly play at all these days, although I wish I could devote more time to EvE as I still really enjoy playing the game. I have lots more commitments in the real world than I did three years ago - Demanding job, demanding girl friend and a demanding social life! 2. Today are you a Leader, a follower or somewhere inbetween? I'm more of an advisor than leader these days as I don't have the time to lead from the front and be totally involved as I once did. I do dearly miss this part of the game, things happen without me being involved, which annoys the hell out of me. More importantly I miss leading my corp into hopeless encounters! 3. Do you have any ambitions or plans left in EVE? Yes, plenty. (1. Put girl friend under the patio. 2. Turn off the phone and lock the doors. 3. Turn EvE on and play for 23 hours straight!) 4. How do you think EvE has changed since the early days? It has completely changed. It is far more complex, has far more content and as a result has far more players. It was very exciting in the early days, especially the first steps into 0.0. As DBP said, it's much more about empire building than in the early steps. 5. What aspect of gameplay would you bring back if you could? I'm not sure I would bring anything back; I like how the game has developed and continues to do so. Get Your BoB Protection Kit Here
Frankinator	Posted - 2006.06.30 15:57:00 - [29] 1. Do you still play as much now as back then? 2. Today are you a Leader, a follower or somewhere inbetween? 3. Do you have any ambitions or plans left in EVE? 4. How do you think eve has changed since the early days? 5. What aspect of gameplay would you bring back if you could? 1. Not by far. 2. Somewhere in between, been all three of those actually. 3. Yes, loads. 4. It became something for the masses :/ 5. Small skirmish warfare
The End	Posted - 2006.06.30 16:01:00 - [30] Originally by: Angela Toren Edited by: Angela Toren on 30/06/2006 14:03:06 Wow I just read lots of threads from the beginning of this forum around 03 and things seemed to be quite exciting back then!

Do you have any ambitions or plans left in EVE? 4. How do you think eve has changed since the early days? 5. What aspect of gameplay would you bring back if you could? 1. The Game doesnt appeal to me as it once did so the answer is No 2. Leader But a follower to a select few 3. Very little ambitions 4. Early days was more pure and fun now its just been going downhill since. i especially hate the limited Tech II BPO's 5. I would remove all those additional highway stargates in 0.0 that they added and revert it back to what it originally was. the galaxy is way too small now. i liked the idea of being isolated in non empire controled space and it brought stability in the regions.
