Scalding Holland Arcadia Group 14	Posted - 2015.08.19 14:29:16 - [1] - Quote I was looking back at old expansions for eve and watched youtube videos of eve circa 2004. Is there anyway we can play these expansions offline? For example EVE after the Caster (2003) expansion. Just to see what eve was like?
Jenshae Chiroptera 2209	Posted - 2015.08.19 14:33:00 - [2] - Quote No. Besides, EVE is not much of a game without all the people. CCP - Building ant hills and magnifying glasses for fat kids There are other ways to fix Null Sec stagnation and Fozzie SOV is the wrong approach.

Mr Epeen It's All About Me 9139	Posted - 2015.08.19 14:58:05 - [5] - Quote I hear the Vatican has a time machine hidden in its catacombs (It's on the internet so it must be true). So maybe you could ingratiate yourself with the Pope and get sent back to a better time. When men were men and Tranquility had 5k players logged in on a good day. Mr Epeen There are 86,400 seconds in a day. You just saved one of them by typing 'u' instead of 'you'.-á Congratulations, dumbass!
Cathays GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 1	Posted - 2015.08.19 16:27:02 - [6] - Quote With CCPs track record if they ever released the Castor version on EVE they would some how make it live on Serenity by mistake.

Mr Epeen I did google it, and it is true. It was invented by a Benedictine monk in 1950 and they used it to film Christ's crucifixion. This makes me wonder. They did not save Jesus, but they made a snuff film instead!

It's not a time machine. It's a time-viewer. It doesn't transport you through time, it only lets you view events through time... like the movie "Paycheck"

Divine Entervention Warriors Gaming Corporation Imperium Galactic Empire 579	Posted - 2015.08.20 00:26:53 - [12] - Quote No, sorry. but if it's any consolation, know there's a version of existence where whatever changes you disapprove of never took place, and there's a you right now logged in enjoying the version of EvE you wish this version of you could be enjoying right now!
Chainsaw Plankton IDLE GUNS IDLE EMPIRE 1437	Posted - 2015.08.20 01:40:17 - [13] - Quote I really want a single player ship spinner with the old graphics and stuff. some of that old stuff was just pretty. then again some of it just looks better due to nostalgia. @ChainsawPlankto

I think your best bet is to get a job at CCP - I remember reading a dev post once saying they have all the old expansions available for reference. No, your rights end in optimal+2*falloff CODE. forum - everyone's welcome (no shiptoasters)

To see how it grew to be the best in 2012 of course. Then I'll win at eve and be satisfied. "Never not blob!" ~ Plato
Dominique Vasilkovsky BFG Tech 307	Posted - 2015.08.20 11:31:00 - [16] - Quote OP, ask about the private server over at FHC. Dominique Vasilkovsky EVEboard Once known as: Mashie Saldana sold - Anastasia Rigel sold - Monica Foulkes sold
Neodell Caldari Advanced War Technologies 2	Posted - 2015.08.20 11:46:32 - [17] - Quote Every now and again I install EVE from the 2003 CD, just to watch the login screen. The music and logo takes me back. Sadly you can't log on, but if you click connect you hear the old voice. Oh the nostalgia!! You can see the log in screens on Youtube, starts with Eve the second genesis. Youtube Link

Is there anyway we can play these expansions offline? For example EVE after the Caster (2003) expansion. Just to see what eve was like? Yes. If you google it, you'll find a sourceforge-version of EVE Online for private servers. It's an older version of EVE since the last update was somewhere between 2013 and 2014. So exactly what you want. Only drawback: EVE Online without players can be a lonely, forboding place.

Shallanna Yassavi Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 17	Posted - 2015.08.21 03:49:23 - [20] - Quote That's one of the things about computer games and historians of the future. If they want to replicate what a single-player game did, emulator. Problem solved. With multiplayer online games, it gets much messier. Eventually EVE will die, maybe this year, maybe in 50-and someone in the future will be curious about why it kept showing up in the news. A signature :o

ISD Buldath ISD STAR 82	Posted - 2015.08.21 05:56:58 - [21] - Quote If you are able to somehow find a working install of an older version, you can only get as far as the log in screen. ~ISD Buldath Interstellar Services Department Support, Training and Resources Division Lt. Commander

Not true. I'm sure I'd get insta banned for linking, so I wont. Doesn't take much to find them.

You're missing the bigger picture. If you had access to older EvE server code, you could seed the market. Hell, you could hook into CREST and populate the economy with real-time market data. Adjusted downward for inflation, of course. Honestly, I think it would be cool for Sisi to have the ability to choose a version of the game to play in, for old time's same. Prohibitively expensive? Yes. Problematic for all kinds of technical reasons? F*** yes. But awesome? Check. I honestly feel like I just read fifty shades of dumb. --CCP Falcon
Sobaan Tali Caldari Quick Reaction Force 561	Posted - 2015.08.23 20:52:30 - [26] - Quote Nope. Test server is the closest thing to that sort of thing, with it being somewhat behind TQ and, while not necessarily offline, you'd pretty much see no one else unless you head out to the PvP systems. Not quite the same thing, but that's just a nicer way of saying, "Hell no!" To my understanding, CCP has already tried keeping two different versions on Eve running at the same time before with Trinity, and that didn't go over so well from what I heard. In a perfect world, it sure would be nice to hope in to Eve 2003 if only to see what it was like back then for those who missed it or for those who were really there to have some nostalgia time. "Tomahawks?" "----in' A, right?" "Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each." "----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."

Oh I don't know about that, you could do missions and mine uninterrupted to your hearts content :) Without the other people all that mining and mission running would be effectively pointless. You wouldn't be able to do it anyway as it's a player run market and as such there would be nobody to buy anything that you put onto the market.
