I remember when i first started i had no concept of it being an MMORG, i didnt understand what i meant as this is my first and only MMORG.
I joined up with some guys (FTO Cruise, Mandrill) in a newb corp and set a goal to make 3 battleships, 2 geddons and 1 apoc.
Spent 1 month mining omber for my precious geddon and still remember that feeling of when i climbed aboard.... ooh was great times. back then a bs was a serious achievement :P
Spent time in an empire corp and enjoyed all the missions and fun empire had to offer then joined an alliance and the game has gone on from there really.....
Today eve seems so serious, when you see the general way the community speaks to one another its amazing we are all still here. Eve has a fanatical player base which is the reason eve is still here but sometimes i do think that the obsessiveness of the game gets to people ( i remember the Xetic war and the 2 deaththreats i recieved, couldnt believe people took it that far).
Back in the day it was so mellow and with only like 5k people playing it was nice and quiet with established warzones in the usual places pvp and carebear were both happy. Seems more like Counter Strike nowadays. Round Draw...boom headshot! stabbed vagas, ability to log off in alliance space and disappear in 60 seconds, complexes spewing h4x isk out due to poor programming etc etc
With the new regions opening up i suppose it will start that empty space feeling again but if there is something of value there (precious ore, gas clouds, complexes, moons) then it wont take long for one or two of the big alliances to just claim it all and blockade it all up.
Eve certainly lost that special shine it used to have, maybe its age and the alliance life where by law you have to hate to the bone another entity who wear a different colour but seems we dont have the grand scale anymore, in fact it feels its a very small universe now.
Perhaps its time for the 'first ones' to pass beyond the rim to join the others and leave this universe to the younger races :)
