Holy Hell...where do I begin...
- Joining Hadean Drive Yards in Beta stage 5, after being "interviewed" by Overkill for 93 minutes in IRC chat...it took weeks before all of the bloodstains were finally gone from the "interview room".
- My first Griffon...which I promptly lost to NPC gate rats while flying back to the Udianoor system, and being podded by the same NPC's at the gate.
- Scouting out a new home for HDY after the Great Pirate Uprising of '03, and then being part of the CAP force covering our exodus from Aridia into the Oerse system in Solitude.
- Remembering Wrangler when he was a cadet...I think I still have your toothbrush ;)
- Flying Combat Air Patrol with Cowboy, Chaos, Laird, and a host of others for 22 straight hours as HDY strip mined and cleared Oerse 9-1 in nothing more than Punishers, Merlins, and Bestowers.
- Defending our mining operations in Vezila against daily visits from Lord Zap, TWD, Stavr0s, and the entire crew from Mo0, Burn Eden, S******dly, and most of the best known and most imfamous pirate corps in EVE at the time.
- Running the Mara Blockade in my Moa. Before the MWD nerf... ;)
- My first Apoc...and losing it to Lord Zap as he rolled that Blasterthron of his and got up close and personal. I even think I saw him salute me as my ship disappeared in a blinding flash of argent light...and then letting me warp back to the station instead of podding me. Overkill still read me the riot act for losing my ship, even though I'd allowed the rest of my corpmates to get clear. And you thought I forgot about that, Didn't you, OK :P
- Killing an Apoc while in one of FIX's Frig fleets while in a Punisher during our brief stint in the FIX Alliance. Then losing said Punisher a few systems later, and enduring the 50+ jumps back into "safe" FIX space and our HQ...4 hours never seemed so long.
There are hundreds more memories over the last 4 years I could expound upon (but won't), but the game wouldn't be what it is without the community that plays it. Thank you CCP for creating this great place that we can all call home, and thank you, everyone, for making the last 4 years so memorable...
