Been playing the game on and off since mid 2009 on two mutually supporting accounts. First few months I was a bit nomadic following mission agents. Then I made my first proper move to Alentene (Verge Vendor region), where I had my first stint in RvB and got into PvP. Started growing roots, assets significantly increased, started manufacturing and market trading.
Three months later I decided to move to NPC Null (Stain), flew out in a Rifter and purchased off the market, reprocessed rat loot, built from corp BPCs. Built up a sizable asset pile with 30 or 40 ships. Then about 3 months later, the alliance went to pot.
Decided to move to Sov Null (Fountain). Again flew out in a frigate and bought ratting and PvP ships on the market. Spent a month there, hated it, sold everything again and flew back to empire.
Joined Minmatar Militia and rebased to Auga (Heimatar region). Built up another pool of ships and modules over 4 months, buying from the Rens market or manufacturing locally.
Quit game for a year, came back, decided to relearn Eve by rejoining RvB. Only they had moved to Autaris (Lonetrek region). Moved my high sec base from Alentene to Autaris, mainly by selling up in the former and buying new stuff in the latter and just moving a few expensive ships.
After about 4 months, I decided to join a new corp in NPC Null (Stain) formed by pilots who had flown with me during my first stint in Stain. Only problem was that they were based 15 jumps from our former base. Flew over there and 2 corpies Jump Carrier'ed my stuff from the old base. After a few months the alliance went to pot. Quit game for a couple of months.
Came back and decided to go around the block again starting with RvB who had now relocated to Liekuri (The Forge Region), this time I largely hauled my high sec base from Auturis to Liekuri.
After 4 months went back to Minmatar Militia, slowly sold off my assets in Liekuri as I approached -10 sec status and gave up on ever returning to High sec. Meanwhile relocated my low sec base in Auga to my new corp base in Arzad.
After 6 months the Amarr flipped our system and the corp had to relocate to Huola. But by this time I owned a JF and a Carrier and in the days before jump fatigue, it was trivially easy to fire up a cyno at each end and jump back and forth repeatidly to move all your assets.
I lived in Huola for the best part of 18 months but then decided to try WH life. I joined a WH corp and waited for a suitable WH to open in Huola, then moved 20 or 30 ships in, plus several Bustard and Crane loads of assets. While waiting I sorted out my sec status and even tried some Incursions.
WH life had it's good points and I wouldn't rule out going back but I went in somewhat burnt out and didn't quite settle in. After a couple of months a WH opened to a high sec system near Jita, I moved my stuff out and quit corp. Then quit game for 10 months.
I returned to game in December and joined GalMil. After a couple of false starts I found a good location and settled in. But I have to say it is considerably more difficult to do a major relocation since the Jump fatigue changes. My main low sec base is now in the GalMil warzone, but I have a shed load of stuff still stranded in Huola.
Another shed load of stuff in the Stain base, who ships were fitted so long ago they probably aren't undockable. I had initially believed that one day I might be in the area and could simple jump in a ship or ferry them out via a WH. However, since them the Tieracide changes have come to pass and my SP has improved considerably. It would take a considerable effort and expense to bring those ships back to a decent flyable state.
Finally I have assets located at the market hubs of Jita, Amarr and Rens. Plus two carebear mission hubs which I haven't touched in years.
