I remember:
Getting in to my new kestrel (INCREDIBLE POWAH!)
Finding my first deadspace
My first PvP combat (I died n00bstyle)
The realisation that no lesser game would ever satisfy me ever again.

My most public memory has to be when I flew my MKV down to to see the Crielere project being built, took me ages to get there in full hauling fit and then when I did arrive I tried flying through a construction ring and made a traffic jam..
I remember my first fight against a battleship, A megathron, me in a Vexor, my friend in a rail thorax. he forgot to keep his range and was promptly nuked by the mega. In a fit of rage at this person for killing my friend I roared in local and charged him. I died.
I remember when I was brand new, thinking of all the possibilities and ways the univerese could open up to me, all the things I was going to do and be known for and how much more difficult it all was back then.
I remember.. lots of things, friends lost, enemies made, deals broken, ships destroyed, wars fought, battles won and terrible losses.
I remember EVE and I think I will for a long time.

Quote: I remember EVE and I think I will for a long time.
That's a very interesting point.
How long will we remember EVE after it's long gone, and this genre is long gone and replaced by something else?
Will I remember EVE as fondly as I remember playing Dune 2 on the Amiga 500? Or as fondly as playing Wing Commander, etc...
Also, how many life long friendships has this game created? Do other MMO's have the same effect? (I don't play any others, and I have no friends from EnB that I'm in contact with anymore)

I remember one thing most vividly...
At one week old, joining up with a friends corp that was part of ASCN a couple years ago, and living down into deep 0.0 for a couple months in just a frigate. I was scouting roid fields for rats for our small hit squad not realizing how truly crazy that was LOL.
Got scrubbed hard a few times but was fun. I have since lost my taste for 0.0, but it was fun once.

I am still a Noob.
1. My first PVP kill 1 week in playing dumb so the guy would attack then beating him in my Rifter.
2. Joining a corp and moving to 0.0. A whole new world.
3. Having the clock in the lower left corner pointed out after 3 months of playing.

I remember buying a Kestrel and thinking 'bugger no turret slots'. I went and bought a Merlin while I trained missiles.
Got into the Kestrel sometime later and thought right time to toast something. I loaded all my launchers with FoFs to see what they did. I found some little rats at a gate in empire. I locked three arrogators and opened fire. Two missiles seem to collide and blow up on their way to the target.
One hit the target much to my relief, but I'll never forget the 'oh ****' feeling as the fourth veered towards the gate.
Seconds later I was sat in my pod thinking that would be the last time I used FoFs and to the best of my knowledge I never have since. /start sig I love old characters that post 'I've beeen playing the game three years' when I know their account has been sold on. /end sig |

I remember my first kill: A torpedo-firing blackbird in my thorax in Y9G-KS (Syndicate).
I also remember being killed by sentries together with my buddie, losing our fancy expensive cruisers, because we were fooling around.
I also remember being ransomed in my tristan at a jump-in point and getting blown up because I couldn't afford the ransom.
My memories are more bland after that, except for the EC-P8R camp with BoB and ASCN, that was pretty memorable too.

For me, its definitely the first day. The first time I undocked in my Ibis during the tutorial, looking out over Kisogo (along with a bunch of other n00bs) thinking "hoooooly ****" this is amazing.
Also, when I bought my first Merlin. I remember the "Exodus Trailer" where they show a Hawk flying around a warehouse. when I saw that I thought "Wow, that ship looks 1337, I gotta get it." Being the n00b that I was, when I bought said merlin, I thought it was the very ship from the trailer. I was so happy I even said in local "YAY IM NOT A N00B ANYMORE!"
Third memory is getting my first destroyer. Seeing it was bigger than a frigate, I was under the impression that it was a capital class ship. So I would fly around telling my friends i was in a dreadnought or the like. Oh was I wrong bout it being "capital" because it died the next morning :(

I remember Omber in 1.0 Space. Bistot and Ark near Elgoi. Ninja Mining Ark with a Probe in Empire Space. Moving the first time to low sec and thinking: "Nice the other pilot is a minmatar too" One second later I heard "beep beep beep..." lol Getting my first cruiser when cruisers were new after a few days of kernite mining and beeing proud to fly a Scythe. Being hunted be one pirate in High Sec ( not at war ), fleeing to a station, calling a friend in, and hunting the pirate. 10 mins later we were hunted by now three pirates. Concord ships destroyed by player pirates. MOo entering the system and all moving to the stations. Tank Ceo moving through the system, hunted by a lot of players. Moving out 20 jumps and more to an unclaimed 0.0 region and mining bistot. Then moving the ore back with a parked hauler. Ninja scouting the curse region, followed by a torp spamming enemy bs.
And a lot more.

Very cool thread.
what i remember, i think i joined as CCP beefed up the sentry guns after a notorious pirate gang took over a high sec system.
I can attest to what verone says as being true, i joined this game with no one but myself i mined in my noob frig till i could buy and imicus. I mined in that imicus till i could by a tristan to do lvl 1's in.
I remember finally reaching 1 mil isk and what an achievment it was.
finally the day came when i had enough to buy a vexor my first cruiser, and it was massive to me. i saved up enough to buy a thorax from a corpie in the noob corp and i've been hooked ever since, it was a screen shot of the rax that made me wanna try eve. now i have a bpo of it :p
I joined my first corp, lunar dawn. It was some of the best times in a game i had we had corp ops every weekend.
I remember mining in ewok with the corp and getting jumped by TankCEO he pop'd our ceo's raven and i managed to get a few torps his way but he warped out after 4 of us jumped in the fight.
I remember getting killed by a mOo gate camp in my first alliance.
I remember having our corp's name on the DG- station holding it for [5] during their fight with RA. It was great to say we had our own 0.0 station.
That being said shield boosting that station's shield i remember falling asleep outside the station and waking up to being shot at by some pirate (i didn't get killed).
goodtimes have been had, many more to come as well! ------FD------

I remember:
players using ark jumping;
medium beams having more power than highs due to module stacking;
trust within corporations (that went within 6 months of the game starting for sensible people);
item duplication;
forums where topics meant something and were not regurgiation of old sentiments;
when /signed didn't exist (never a faster way to get a topic ignored, works better than smack).

I remember my first PvP loss and my first PvP kill:
Loss: Going upto Hakonen (sp?) near Taisy for a Caldari Navy Agent. Getting sent into a neighbouring system's belt (back when agent's did that) and asking the two -10's there if they'd help my Moa kill the mission spawn. Which they did do. Moments before killing me.
Kill: Mining in a 0.4 system with me in a Ferox and my alt in a hauler. Out of nowhere a Tristan appears and starts engaging my hauler. I get the Ferox to lock and send all my drones and two assault launchers (mining fit) after him. Guy doesn't realise he is being engaged and embarassingly goes pop.
Though I think the biggest thing is firing up the game for the first time, waking up in Todaki and thinking "my god, Jita is far away". Still today, after 2 years, only my alt has been to Rens, and only on a flying Visit. The whole South/East (Minmatar and beyond) is a complete mystery to me still.

i am really surprised nobody has said anything about the mines i lost my first frigate to one of those. And my gah the mining ops for 6 hours a night just make enough money for my first cruiser. Thorax and i lost that thorax to a fellow corp member that went insane and started shooting all the members with a torp shooting frigate.

Originally by: Rod Blaine Also, mining in an imicus and hopping back and forth to station to unload it.
I did that as well!
It seems so boring now but seriously, mining that veld in Duripant in my shiny mining ship ( I remember being so pleased that I had more than one ship- my other ship was my trusty Velator then once I'd made enough ISK I got really badly fitted mission running tristan) was one of the things that made me stick with EVE.
I also remember when I joined Murie. I'd literally just subscribed and then I got a mail from Onnen Mentar, the Murie CEO, inviting me to join the tribe. It took me a day or so to get mentally prepared to leave Duripant and Oursulaert and be escorted down to the tribe's HQ in 0.4. I had the impression that 0.4 was insanely remote and that I'd never be able to get back up to Oursulaert again.
Another thing I remember is looking at the skill requirements for a Hulk and saying to myself that I'd never, ever manage to train for one. 9 or so months later once I'd actually trained for it and bought one I was just incredibly happy that I'd achieved my long-term.
Thanks for an awesome post Verone. You've brought back loads of memories.

-Meeting Velsharoon when he was flying through Mies trying to flog some Harvester drones that Paniq had found ridiculously cheap on escrow. This chance meeting was really the turning point that set in motion the events which saw me finding my home in BNC.
-Mining in Outer Ring for my first battleship, a Scorpion, and promptly losing it to NPC's 3 days later.
-Heading across the map from Outer Ring to raid Curse and Blacklight passing out with autopilot set to HLW.
-Candy's vid of killing BL's Raven with a Berserker (he was passed out again). It has a great shot of a torp approaching the pod.
-Generally having a great laugh back in BNC's NORAD days, chatting s*** on TS while running around seeing how much trouble we could get ourselves into and then successfully back out of.
-RKK declaring war on CDI and the PA, the following mad scramble to convince the NORAD council to get involved, so we could be part of a proper war. If they hadn't had the balls to stand up and say "no more" there would be no BoB.
-EndersGame making possibly the longest distance ranson in history (he was 3 systems away).
Hmmm. All this reminiscing reminds me... BL, you still owe me a Scorpion...

Let me see... I remember joining PIE the first day I entered eve and had no idea what was going on at first. I remember thinking that lasers were crap because my inquisitor did MUCH more damage than my punisher and at longer ranges. I remember finally switching back to turrets once I realised how they worked. I remember taking part in my first big "Golden Fleet" operation and getting my first kill. I remember receive my first smack email :P
I remember seeing my face in the news after something I wrote on IGS. I remember the day when AFs and HACs got introduced into EVE and everyone was excited to go on to them. I remember flying my first retribution. I remember saving up enough money for a Zealot (only 70 mil or so in those days)! I remember losing the Zealot. I remember the way that combat slowly changed from mainly t1 to mainly t2 ships. ------

I remember entering the game and seeing my friend's thorax fly by, thinking it must be one of the best ships in the game. I remember training skills my friend told me to instead of looking at what i wanted to do.
I remember scamming my first ceo (who was a douche) out of 3 million isk in order to buy my first blackbird. I remember thsi being the ebst descision of my eve career.
I remember hearing viceroy tell pirating tales in caldari chat and deciding there was nothing else I wanted to do. I remember meeting pojo, one of the ebst ceos I ever had, and joining him in a few wars where I learnt that size wasn't everything as jericho fraction frigates tore my first cruisers apart. I remember the joy I felt when I adopted their tactics myself and the kills started rolling in, and the thrill I got out of it. I remember joining curse alliance and realising the real isk was in 0.0.
I remember quiting and coming back with no isk at all, and earning it by pirating 0.0 gates in kestrels with by friend frost88. I remember taking on 8 frigs in the space of about 10 minutes when they came hunting for me. I remember anna k, who bought me my first battleship. I remember losing it the second day I had it, but first doing about 600mil of damage by smart bombing random frigs (back when smart bombs unfortunately destroyed cans).
I remember the venal rangers where I learnt more about pirating that anywhere else. I remember the attitude gogo yubari had which was automatically reflected in his members, one of self-confidence despite the odds.
I remember blood inquisition, the good times and the bad. And finally I remember PAK, the best corp I have flown with to date, and one that I regret is falling apart.

Though I'm not old school like most of you, I remember my first non-consent PvP. I had just purchased a shiny new Ares, which I thought was uber because it had 2 launcher hardpoints. After pwning a couple high sec belt rats, I decided that I wanted to find a more worthy foe. No, I wasn't going to PvP, I knew my 1 month old character was too young for that. I heard that tougher NPCs spawned in low sec belts, so I decided to give it a try. I found a nearby low sec system, and jumped in, and warped to a belt. While I was engaging some of the rats, I see a player warp in. Oh cool, I though, he flashes red. Wonder how he got that?
One shiny explosion later, LittleTerror opens a convo with me and tells me to pay 20 million or be podded. At this point, I was utterly confused. My clone only gost mere thousands of ISK, how in the world could this guy expect me to pay the ransom. I told LittleTerror to go ahead and pod me because I was "fully insured".
I woke up in my clone vat and discovered just how much money the destruction of a "fully insured" T2 ship will get me...
Anyways, I still have LittleTerror in my "friends" list, and have always dreamed of one day returning the favor. I have yet to do such.

Some of my first memories are jumping to another system in Alpha and getting instapwned by Equintaz of Armored Rose (I think it was missiles) and whinning endlessly on the beta forums about cruisers having too much cargo space.
Also being in the top 100 of time spent logged in, 80th or so in the rank but 3d in logins. Crappy PC I had.

Oh dear... So many memories..
I don't even know where to start, but I must admit that EVE has given me so much more then what I ever expected from a game.
It has given me so many moments of joy, of sadness, of terror, pain, clarity, drunken haze, of happiness, reflection, anger, contemplation, fear, bravery, deathwish, of ego, humility, hopelessness, victory, love, determination, of loss, indecisiveness, empathy, honor, truth, defeat, loyalty, of treachery, betrayal, deceit, of respect, devotion, reliability and trust.
For these moments I am grateful

NEWEST MOVIE : VETO FOR HIRE

Posted - 2007.02.06 23:02:00 -
[60]
Back in the day, things seemed easier.. yet harder.
My previous character before I created Palitir ran around in my lone frigate mining Ark in high-ish sec, running from anything, even players.. I was that paranoid.
I got a Thorax here after alot of ninja mining, running round trying to kill whatever I could.. but it never really worked out too well. Either me dead and back to ninja mining, or me running away. oh well, the adrenaline rush from that can never be repeated.
Following from those days I decided for a fresh start, Palitir came into the light. My first few days as Palitir I joined a Stain Alliance corp, to mine the good asteroids \o. The thing that amazed me the most was I got to see my first Megathron without having to run away from it in fear.
Slowly but surely I moved into a cruiser from mining low-ish minerals in low security space, my shiney new Thorax.. and my first (sustained) move into 0.0 happened (while also moving into a Fountain Alliance corp). Mining drones buzzing around, Mining lazers shooting out of my ship.. I was mining Ark once again, but this time deep in the core of fountain where I got my first PvP fights that I could actually engage in as I somewhat had a better grasp of fighting, and more isk to keep fighting.
Those were the days that the directors never gave out torps to you because they contained enough high end to fund yourself for a small time.
Another fond memory of my piloting was when I moved into my first battleship.. I remember the setup as clear as day, and my god it was terrible.. 1400's, Laser dmg mods and on a Megathron to boot. I still made that scorpian run that I was shooting. I miss the old ECM system, I shed a *tear* for it.
My first npc'ing in a battleship ended up in those evil NPC thoraxes shooting missiles and absolutely killing me outright.
I wish I could remember more things than that, but they seem to blur into one big thing. =========================
