I was tossed straight into the fights between SA and SE when i first started this game. I was here and witnessed the GNW, the rise and fall of BOB. I remember when Goons took their first baby steps in syndicate.
Ive seen most ships buffed, nerfed, buffed again and then some.
Most of my eve life have been split between 0,0 and low sec, tho at heart I have always considerd myself a pirate, and that will hopefully never change.
11 Years of playing and Ive had plenty of friends come and go, lots of them are ppl ive met and had fun with in rl. Always sad to see friends leave this game, but new friends have been made in the process.
0,0 might be in a sad state these days, but low sec is doing better then ever so i cant complain to much about that either.
So basicly all i wanted to say is thank you CCP for still making this a game i care about, and tho we might not always agree on things, i do have faith that you always have the best of the game in mind.
So, hopefully ill be able to make another of these posts in 11 years time as well

Pirates were... real pirates. They'd make you sing a song, answer riddles, or pay a ransom. Now, you just get shot.

I miss the old Pod Or post, those were awesome until CCP made a rule about not being allowed to post on the forums about it. So that kinda ruined it.

Tho its true that the wars like the GNW, or war against curse alliance etc will not happen again, its not to late to take part in changing the coming history of this game.
New history in this game is written every day, so its up to all of us to make sure the storys we can tell are the fun ones.
Just look at how low sec is these days, its so filled with action, with fights happening every day, tho most of them wont be written about in the future just because many ppl dont care about low sec.

Im not as old as some of you. Going on 8 myself. I miss some of old eve. I remember some of my first pvp experiences were alpha-ing people at gates in provi in cruise fitted manticores. I still have a cruise fitted manticore actually. Its a museum piece now. When people took space because they were going to use it not just for LOLs. When most of eve wasnt renters. When an alliance didnt blue everyone and their brother.
There have been many changes since then. I like most of the changes made by CCP. I dont like many of the changes made by players to the universe. Its like players purposely try to ruin the game...with their egos. Overall i would say the game is better now than it was when i started and that is why i am still here. |

The camaraderie and unplanned reunions with old friends in game are what keeps some of us around. These epic moments happen only every couple of years but you never forget it.

Used to play this old korean MMO, Nexon owns it now (Dekaron) but the reunion with some people after all these years would be worth it, just for that. Theres some dude I recognized being complained about on the forums.
There was another guy called "dikbig" I would always call "diksmall" and he lol'd every time.
If only I could meet up with the noobs I played with in EVE when I was a noob. Sharing your sides of stories is the best thing ever.

Coming up on 12 years.
Though my level of activity in game waxes and wanes over the years, it's good to know CCP keeps it alive for me to come back to, again and again.
I've tried to convey this game to people over the years that haven't played it. All I can tell them is "there is no other game like it" and "if you're willing to invest the time to learn and see what it has to offer, you'll be absolutely amazed" |

I have been around a little while longer and can truly say it is the only game I have come back to again and again. And that is an achievement.
Having been around a lot of MMO's in my time I can also say we do often look back at "old" times as being better on most games. I have very fond memories of Dark Age of Camelot and even World of Warcraft, mostly from when they where new. And that is because they are just that, new, and that sense of wondermeant and excitement still exists.
Anyway must get back to being bitter.... |

Well, not everything used to be better back in the day, but i do indeed miss the days when ppl were mining in low sec in battleships (was a great time to be a pirate). And i do miss the days when there was no warp to 0 and not to mention how much i hate jumpfreighters and how much easier they have made life.
Oh, and i really really really hate that you can fix your sec by buying tags, which has made sure that there are no real penaltys to being a pirate.
But for the most part i would say the game is much better these days then what they once were.

2003 ftw.. even if only just.
The changes have been epic, I can't give CCP enough credit for what they have done with eve, my only wish is they spent the RL isk from WoD and other projects on advertising and got some new blood here.
I can count on one hand the amount of original friends I have from when I started that are still in game which does make me sad, finding new content for myself can be hard as I really have done most things in Eve now, at least I should say all the things I find fun (never did understand PI!)
When goons first formed they went for syndicate, they attacked in frigs against my 3rd front alliance brothers, we fought them back, signed a nap and myself brokered some of the relations to the then leader of goons, remedial (sp?)
I used to log in on a sunday with 8k players on peak times and think wow, that's a crapton of people!!
Lead 2 alliances, reached 100bil isk milestone, 200milsp milestone, owned a supercap, flown in alliance tournaments, owned a tournament cruiser, lived in WH space, 0.0 space, low sec space, was part of the original privateers - causing havoc to all alliances being at war with almost all of null eve and forced CCP war dec changes, was one of the top 200 posting players on the old Eve-o, got ganked by MoO corp, built my own first carrier from ratting loot, before alliances, before caps, before pos flying around in my cruise fitted kestrel.
Give me some content suggestions fellow old timers. |

Do you honestly think giving a freighter a dc would damage this game in any way?

Quite simple really. I see a freighter worth 1b(ish) that can be ganked by a few dessies as just an unbalanced feature as the svipul is atm. And something that is hurting new player retention, and i want more new players to stay in this game. The correlation between price of ship ganked (freighter) and cost of the dessies is out of proportion in my eyes.
Which is why i have advocated for suicide ganks to become more costly (and no, i dont want it removed from the game at all, but atm its the risk/reward for flying a freighter is out of wack), and why i have been wanting new players to start with more of the core skills trained up to 5 so they can start focusing directly on ships/weapons/production or whatever the heck they wanna branch out into, without having to spend months training up engineering/armor/shield and electronics skills to be usefull.

Instead of insulting everyone by bringing the "new player" "argument", why don't you tell us the real reason for this? You are too lazy to defend your stuff even if you have a invincible, all knowing, 100% deadly NPC police on your side. So you want some more buff so you don't have to put effort into the game. I mean It takes a whole fleet to kill a Freigher but you think you should be able to fly it solo without support and without risk?

A "few" dessies can kill a carrier if th carriers pilot doesn't take any steps towards keeping it alive. Isk is not and should not ever be considered a tank stat.

I never fly freighters, heck, i usually dont move my stuff at all, i just buy new stuff when/if corp moves somewhere.
