CCP Wrangler	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:10:00 - [1] On this day, 4 years ago, EVE Online was released and the masses rejoiced because a new age of MMOG gaming and enlightenment was upon them - "The Age of EVE". To commemorate this blessed event we would like you all, players, developers and volunteers alike, to post your most memorable event in the world of EVE.

SEP Komakino ISD AURORA Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:25:00 - [6] I remember mining Omber all night in an Imicus back in the summer of '03 so I could afford a Thorax. Then using that Thorax to help my mate buy a Dominix. We both still play together, although we live three timezones apart and have never met in RL. The only thing that tops that was being accepted into Aurora last summer and making some kickass events. When I see posts from players in Intergalactic Summit discussing whats been going on and whats happening, it makes it all worthwhile that you know your efforts have made an impact on players. Here's to another four (and more) years \o/


Rauth Kivaro Forum Moderator Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:25:00 - [7] Oh my. Sadly, four years ago I had not yet heard of the goodness that is EVE. Not long after leaving another game I remember logging into EVE and just hanging outside a station for a while marveling. I didn't want to dock, it was like a work of art! EVE has brought me back to the old school days of things like ELITE, Wing Commander and all the amazing games I used to play, that got my heart beating fast, made me stay up late (it's 4:20 AM right now, lol) and really is one of the best games I've ever played. Props to CCP, the dev team and all the people who made and continue to make EVE what it is- hands down, the best SF MMO game on the planet. Happy birthday! Rauth Kivaro, CRC, A division of ISD


CCP Tuxford	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:26:00 - [8] Happy birthday everybody. Most memorable event: ramboing through the mara - passari gate in a condor and surviving. Ok there was one guy hardly a camp but still, never had the heart pounding like that in a video game before. _______________

Sinder Ohm Infinite Improbability Inc Dusk and Dawn	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:28:00 - [9] Getting attacked by a pirate for the very first time Originally by: Rawne Karrde PVP in EvE is consentual, you agree to it when you login. If you don't like it you're in the wrong game.
Avon Caldari Black Nova Corp Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:28:00 - [10] Edited by: Avon on 05/05/2007 11:27:59 So, basically, CCP forgot to arrange anything, and so are hoping that, by posting stuff in this thread, the players will provide the content? Bit like the rest of the game really. Still, glad to be here after all these years. Most memorable thingmy? It would be the Crielere event. Added OMG! Just went back through my Eve Newsletters to make sure I spelt Crielere correctly, and I spotted this: Originally by: Eve Newsletter 1 Last Sunday evening (2004.02.15) at 20:45 GMT, 7250 played EVE Online at the same time! We here at CCP are confident in declaring this a world record for the highest number of players together, at the same time, in the same world. Win! No, we didn't forget anything, we actually discussed this a while for a few days and decided this would be a cool thing to do - Wrangler The Battleships is not and should not be a solo pwnmobile - Oveur


EA Dymasa ISD AURORA Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:29:00 - [11] What?! Four years already? I've only been here ten months! I guess my most memorable moment ever was fragging a pie-rat Brutix with my newblol Heavy Missile Ferox, with Battlecruiser I skill. My CEO spanked me hard after finding out about that.


BH Eliohann	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:31:00 - [12] Edited by: BH Eliohann on 05/05/2007 11:28:54 Wow 4 years already. Congratulation CCP to the best game ever! Looking foreward to X more years, where X is countably infinite Best thing in EVE are all the friends i made here and have already met in RL. And of course getting killed in my 1st shiny Merlin back in 2004. I was very upset and loved it at the same time. This is what EVE is. And of cource becoming a member of ISD and helping to make EVE a bit better everyday.

Najenna Minmatar Caldari Deep Space Ventures	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:32:00 - [13] Happy Birthday Eve Its my birthday too I am four years old now.. Do i get a birthday gft for being a beta tester and also a 4 year faithful vet? Once you get this Robotech thing in your blood its there to stay...

Rauth Kivaro Forum Moderator Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:33:00 - [15] To answer the original post, my most memorable moment so far in EVE was being in an Imicus in .3 space doing some exploration. There was a pirate (or 10, lol) in the system, and I had to be extremely careful not to get found. I was both relieved and disappointed to get "No scan signatures detected" because it meant that I could leave, but I was kind of enjoying the adrenaline of knowing it was me vs everyone in local in cat and mouse. No other game has ever given me that shot of heart-pounding, cold-sweat adrenaline, and that's why I love this game. Rauth Kivaro, CRC, A division of ISD


Honeyschnookie ISD STAR	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:33:00 - [16] Wooh...Happy Birthday Eve! Most memorable moments: My first solo kill (I don¦t think I ever had that much adrenaline in my blood before) and being accepted into ISD. I love what I do there and love being part of the team. goes to bake a cake for Eve

ArmyOfMe Exotic Dancers Club	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:33:00 - [17] happy birthday eve So many good memories in this game that its hard to know what to pick, but my guess would be the day i got accepted into Exotic Dancers club since i had looked up to them since the days of teddybears. (this wasnt the char i joined with)
Virtuozzo IVC Consortium INVICTUS.	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:33:00 - [18] 4 brilliant years, even if each year gets more of a stress test in more then one way :P To celebrate, shall we make Jita 0.0 space for a day? Virtuozzo RECRUITMENT TEASERS. Last words of a Caldari general: "Pull the Ravens back! Full retreat! they've got frigates!"

Bies ISD STAR Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:34:00 - [19] There are 2 moments of EVE I remember most... First was in the beta days, when I was flying around my frig in one of the lower sec system, and was convoed by one of the system dwellers, of corporation who "claimed" that system. He said "Leave or be destroyed..." I replied "Can I join you guys?". People from that corp were amazing, it no longer exists, but I will always remember them and those magic times. Those were the best memories I have from playing EVE. The pure chaos and no Concord Second is when I joined ISD, cheesy I know but its true. I doubt I would be still playing the game if I haven't joined them. Getting to know them all is a great thing. Sometimes weird, but still great Bies ISD:STAR Captain

Gladia Horusthu Gallente Anything Inc.	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:34:00 - [20] My four year anniversary in Eve will come in a few days, when it marks the release of Eve in the U.S. That day will also mark my first player owned corp, still one of the best-run I have personally experienced. I was crushed when I returned to Eve after an enforced absense to see that absolutely everyone I remembered was in an NPC corp and not logging. Helping undermine my second player-run corp to create my third from the ashes was particularly sweet, particularly when the guy who caused the corp to rebel against his rule came to us a couple weeks ago and humbly accepted a low-ranking position in our corp, which was much more successful than his had been with the same people. Mining my first Crock, Bist and Ark. Mining my first Merx. Realizing that the corp we merged into had an agreement with m0o that allowed us to operate somewhat safely. Flying a dozen Itty IVs up to Fade after our corp was invited to join Fade Union. Then having FU break apart a week later, with a complete loss among our logistical ss resources. Then joining CFS after a couple weeks, and watching a CA cruiser and frigate force 50 ratting battleships into station just by popping up in local for a few minutes. Tackling the Rupture with a Rifter and seeing just how few people were willing to undock and kill it (I held it for about 5 minutes, some Strength and Honour guys came from several jumps out to take care of it). Seeing a second alliance disintegrate in a month. Making the decision to not trust alliance politics again. Abandoning my deep space toons and joining an rp corp in Empire with a fresh face, and falling in love with Empire pvp-- MUCH more exciting than 0.0 in my experience. Much different tactics, filtering out two hostiles from 60+ neutrals in local presents a challege I learned to love. Coming back from many breaks, each with a fresh new face, fresh new ambitions and experiences in areas I'd not yet ventured into. All in all, after 4 years there is much I have to experience, and I'm not even including so-called "end-game" content.

Theo Samaritan Gallente UNSC Manufactoring Corp	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:35:00 - [21] I have only been part of this universe for 7 months now, btu I have enjoyed every moment of it. HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVE

Siigari Kitawa Gallente The Aduro Protocol	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:35:00 - [23] Happy birthday EVE! Please fix your charsheets :D My most memorable moment in EVE is when I was in a thorax in lowsec and I targeted a thorax in a belt. After about 30 seconds, we were both in pods. We had killed each other. So there we are both flashing red in our pods, our drones hanging out, and then eventually getting popped to rats (poor hammerhead IIs). We convoed each other and warped away. Man that was awesome. Happy birthday EVE :D _________________ Burn.

Mooogie	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:37:00 - [25] Edited by: Mooogie on 05/05/2007 11:34:31 Happy birthday! Happy cinco de mayo (coincidence?)! My most memorable moment was when i was a few hours or so old - a total nooblet, as it were. I was having a lot of fun exploring the universe, as it was. Verge Vendor and Placid, actually, at the time. I was wandering aimlessly, noticing the little number by security status slowly decreasing but becoming more amber and eventually red. At the time, I recalled some brief blurb from AURA in regards to something about low security and risks and bla bla bla. I threw those words to the wind. I was having a good bit of fun. Picking up skills in what appeared to be empty systems. Talking to agents in those oddly quiet areas. Then I saw a flashy red guy and thought "Hey, that's cool. Or maybe that means he's angry or dangerous or something". Then I had the thought "OMG is he shooting at me? ... why? Did I do something wrong?" Before I could fathom any kind of logic, I saw this loading screen that I rapidly familiarized myself with, followed by the station screen. After some minor hindsight, and a smart-alec AURA laughing at me, I realized what had happened. Then I thought "Cool! A game that lets people pvp when and where (almost) they want, and pve when and where (almost) they want! Best of both worlds." Many other memorable moments, but I chose this one as a key defining moment for my future enjoyment of this game, and I am sure many others have similar memories and reactions as well.
Dred Tather Caldari Warp Riders deadspace society	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:37:00 - [26] Happy birthday! my most memorable event was taking on 3 ships at once in PVP, tanking a raven, cerberus and thorax at once, and shields not dropping below 60%... you could tell the fear when they all ran away scared... except the thorax. The other memorable event was outrunning cruise missiles in an executioner.
Druid R Murder of Crows E N I G M A	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:37:00 - [27] Jumping into a 0.4 system back before you arrived at gats, and being in a pod before my screen loaded. The pirates tried to ransom me but I had no money. I started smacking (oh the shame) and he left me with the imortal line: 'Say hello to your clone for me' Now i'm happily -10 and use that line whenever I ransom and they smack :)
duffmantt Caldari Galactic Shipyards Inc HUZZAH FEDERATION	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:38:00 - [28] Happy Birthday EvE!!!! (Gives Oveur four birthday beats in the arm) My best moment was chasing an apoc in my raven before the MWD nerf, both going incredibly fast but keeping at 18k with me spamming missles. he dropped 20/25 battleship BPC's when he popped. =D

Sahwoolo Etoophie Forum Moderator Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:38:00 - [29] I don't think I have a particular best moment. There were lots of great moments, though. Being a total beginner and slowly working your way up to a cruiser class ship and finally flying it, that was a great moment. Being shot and podded for the very first time, which started me on pvp was a great moment. The firsts are always the bests. forum rules \| [email protected] \| Our Website

Shard Merchant	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:39:00 - [30] Most memorable event? Punching myself five minutes ago because you still haven't finished the event from the first anniversary.

Eewec Ourbyni Caldari	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:39:00 - [31] Hmmm, memorable event..... Discovering autopilot settings weren't working and that I was in 0.0 space. That was fairly memorable. It was also kinda empty of people. Still float around in highsec though. Happy Birthday EVE, may you continue for many more years to come. This is a sig... -- You think this guys post is nuts.... you should see his bio -- ... good, ain't it!

CCP Pann	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:40:00 - [32] When EVE launched, I was the community manager. I had been on a plane all night and arrived at the office just as the servers were coming up for the first time that morning. Everyone crowded into the small conference room at Klappurstig and watched the projector screen as someone (I think it was ReyRey) was playing. It was like Christmas morning when you're a kid, all of that anxious excitement and lots of nervous giggling. Things seemed to be going really well, but there was this odd combination of holding your breath longer than you meant to and then almost hyperventilating because you were breathing too fast. I've been through game launches since then that weren't that intense. Maybe it was that way for me with EVE since it was the first time for a lot of us. We knew it was going to all be okay when these words from one of the players appeared in the chat channel: Quote: I hope they take the servers down sometime today so I can get a shower. People were so excited, they were foregoing food, rest and common hygiene practices because they didn't want to miss a minute in our brave new world. It was awesome. Of course, it wasn't all roses and sunshine. We've had our share of wonkiness and drama. It's hard not to take it to heart sometimes and we are genuinely affected to some degree when a player is unhappy about something. Still, the way they express that unhappiness can be a little overboard and, unintentionally, they make us chuckle when they send us notes like this one. It has to be my favorite of all the nastygrams I've ever seen come through the petition system: Quote: If Iceland had trees, I would tell you to go hang yourself. I may have been on holiday at another game company for a couple of years, as Oveur puts it, but my heart was always here at home with EVE, with my teammates and our fantabulous community. Words can't express how happy I am to be back and to be able to share days like today with all of you. CCP made a game. Our players made it a real world. We appreciate everyone who's ever logged in because that's what has made EVE become all that it is. Takk takk! /group hug Valerie "Pann" Massey CCP Communications Manager [email protected]

SolarWindWalker	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:40:00 - [33] Have had no memorable expirences other than being harassed by adolesents in covert ops ships.. So i sit and train and train and train and train and train and train and train and train and train and train and train.. Fun game for a new guy. Great game to leave run while playing Armed Assault. Maybe in a year my skills will be up enough to be little more than target practice.
Larg Kellein Caldari GTE Corp Artificial Intelligence.	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:40:00 - [34] Happy birthday, EVE. Three things really stand out to me: First day on the trial, after finishing the tutorial, I was just randomly flying around looking at space. The "big empty" was and is beautiful. Secondly, the first time I jumped into lowsec and had that warning box pop up... Made me really feel that I was about to put myself and my hard earned Caracal in danger. And finally, the first time I actively went looking for pvp and realised that what I had feared was the best the game has to offer and I should have done it sooner. Originally by: Roy Batty68 My software has wronged me!!! And it's immediately "sorry". Well, ok then. I suppose I'm not so upset at my software if it appologizes.

Zadeus ISD STAR	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:40:00 - [35] Edited by: Zadeus on 05/05/2007 11:43:35 Most memorable event; has to be in my noob days, was in my new Cyclone, which I mined omber continuously for weeks to get Spur of the moment decision to stop off in a 0.4 and pick up a skillbook. Bout to undock, and saw there was a red flasher in local... thought, to hell with it and undocked anyway... Warped to stargate at good ol' 15km, and there he was in a Scorpion, ganking noobs with his smartie... As luck would have it, I had a prototype cloaker fitted, so hit it immediately... then followed a very slow trip to the stargate, taking a couple of hits from smartbomb along the way (no uncloak though )... plenty of time to see the pirate kill a couple of newbies, boom on the ship, then boom on the pod Pirate then warped off after the sentry guns started to hurt him, and I made my jump out of the system Those were the days Happy birthday Eve!

Virtuozzo IVC Consortium INVICTUS.	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:54:00 - [52] In ancient times on earth, a king would once a year walk blindfolded among his people, if left untouched it would demonstrate the trust of his people and the stability of his kingdom. Our universe is much more then a kingdom. We all remember glorious and sad times alike, friends long gone, friends anew, each of us carriers a bit of EVE with him or herself. Our universe is 4 years old. 4 years since a code based big bang which started off a wild and amazing ride from one corner of the universe to the next, exploring technologies and societies, and leaving corpses wherever we go. It is the birthday of all of us, CCP gave us a universe, how about celebrating it. Let's put something together, a mad party from one end of the universe to the next. Put Valerie in a faction ship and let her bring love and light from one end of the universe to the next, or let CCP staff join a big convoy and tour the universe for a day (with faction loot ofcourse) :-) Virtuozzo RECRUITMENT TEASERS.

I can tell you from experience your product has a long future, as one of the games I developed will soon hit it's 10th year, and going strong. I see many of the same great contributions in Eve For me, as a noob of only 2M sp, my most memorable moment was the first big cap ship battle / loss, when at the time I was in ERA, and RA jumped 21 dreads in. Here I was, a noob told by our first CEO not to go into 0.0 space for at least a year, watching 30B of ships going pop. Given most of the people we left in empire never even seen a Dread, this was some experience. Noob's, go to 0.0, thats where the fun is. And CCP keep up the good work !

bellator militaris	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:56:00 - [55] I am retired. I was playing games like DarkStar One and Homeworld, and Freelancer, all good games. But, there was an element missing. I found that element in EvE. So I forged out in my new frigate and began to explore EvE. Each day I learned something new; I began to gain skills and experience. My mind, I believe keeps sharp playing EvE. One night I adventured out in low sec. My Dominix gleaming in space. Then out of the darkness came a NightHawk, flashing bright red. Missiles came rushing in like the comets of thor. I knew then by his history I was out classed. As I escaped his deadly claws of death I could hear him yelling: " Stabbers, those Stabbers" I had taken a WCS with me and lived to fight another night in space. Bellator Militaris The Wild Bunch. Happy Birthday EvE
Ramman K'arojic	Posted - 2007.05.05 11:59:00 - [56] Happy 4th birthday EVE.. Its an amazing experience. I dont have a single best moment. Worst Moment - this happens every night.

Reachok Amarr Low Grade Ore Te-Ka	Posted - 2007.05.05 12:03:00 - [61] Hmmm.... For me it was buying a Bestower. I'd been mining in an Imicus I believe. Losing valuable time due to running back and forth in endless trips to the station. Now I could fill a jet can and go back and fetch it all in a few trips! The next best thing was buying that Osprey!! And this was back when a busy night was 3500 people logged on. So finding systems with giant veld roids and nearly no ore thieves wasn't that hard.

The player pirate Cre Mavrel (Yeah I still know his name) destroyed my Executioner in a Megathron with a whole of drones less than a week from starting the game.

Nuala Reece Caldari Starlancers Forces of Freedom	Posted - 2007.05.05 12:06:00 - [65] I love the fact that when I started playing Eve the big target was that it might, one day, get as many as 10,000 simultaneous online players and now whenever I log in it's as much as 3 times that and barely ever below it Best moment was probably in the first few weeks - being sent 32 jumps away for a mission (in a Bantam) to collect some garbage and move it 3 jumps further into low sec space for just enough cash to get me into a Kestrel and start living the Elite-small-independant-trader-fighter life. Flying my shiny new Kestrel back to Lontrek completely underfitted and getting shot down by 2 m0o cruisers, in the days when they were just beginning to establish themselves as the most feared pirate corp in the galaxy. I lost virtually everything I owned in a few short seconds, hated m0o with a fiery passion, and still felt like Eve was the best game I'd ever played Starlancers

That should read "Tomorrow, 4 years ago, EVE Online was released" ¼_¼ Quote: EVE Online to Launch May 6th! EVEOnline - 3:01 PM PDT That's tomorrow, folks: Today is our last day before EVE's release to the world. We have been beta testing EVE since August 31, 2002. This has been a learning experience and the game has gone through extensive redesigns, fixes, trials, and tribulations. We thank you all for your contribution during this period. Today in EVE we are experiencing "Armageddon Day" - where anything is possible. All character skills have been set to level 5, your wallet is swollen with 500.000.000 ISK. Battleships, cruisers, and all the modules you could ever want are for sale on the markets - feel free to join the crowd on Tranquility tonight for the ultimate beta experience! In less than 24 hours, the new Tranquility universe will be online, wiped and clean from any player infestation. Yet shortly after 09:00 GMT tomorrow, a wave of hungry galactic seekers will pour forth into the new universe, spreading their capitalist dreams and dominating the weak. There will be horrible wars and bloodshed, as massive military equipment is churned out of every available piece of heavy industry. Large corporations will enforce their own, twisted "laws" -- taking advantage of any poor souls who happen to venture unknowingly into their domain. Destruction and reckless abandon. And you all helped to create it! WAY TO GO! The EVE Online Team http://eve.klaki.net/

Bob Clive Viziam	Posted - 2007.05.05 12:08:00 - [71] everytime I got called a bad name for liberating poor Ore all over Empire space. still some of the best hate-mail I have ever gotten. everytime I got called a bad name for simply existing as a member of the Privateers. Thanks for making a great and colorful game. Everything a MMORPG should be. I played Tradewars2002, Everquest and Starwars Galaxies like a drug. I enjoy this current drug called EVE as much as any of those.

EA Talissalia ISD AURORA Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2007.05.05 12:09:00 - [72] Wow, 4 years. I've only known about the game for a little over a year, but from the second I heard about it I was hooked. I don't have a single most memorable event, as the entire game has been a wonderful experience. I think it says a lot that this is the only MMOG I've stuck with for more than a couple weeks. Happy birthday EVE Online.

Stakhanov Shih Yang Tong	Posted - 2007.05.05 12:09:00 - [73] 3 contenders for me... 1) First ever pvp fight (obviously) as I foolishly came to engage pirates in 0.0 with my 2 mates. Don Carn'age pwned our rifter gang with his inty... creepy 2) Hate mail from someone who sold me a vaga for 260k 3) Being attacked by enemy pirates at the gate , jumping into an antipirate camp , and being shot by both... making it back to the gate with my mega in structure phew.
Archo X Caldari	Posted - 2007.05.05 12:09:00 - [74] Still, my fav. moment on Eve was when a few corpmates and I killed an ore thief in Jita. This was back when Jita still had ice, I was about 2 months old. Were were sitting there jetcan mining when Ryctor came up and stole from our jet can. Well, my courageous CEO was not to fond of thieves so he warped back to the station to get a smartbombing Raven. While he was away the other corpmate and I were trying to kep the guy from warping away. "Why you are taking our stuffs? Please stop." "I'm going to put some ice in the can and you won't take it, right?" then local errupts in the debate of if thieves are back or we are noobs. Well, we try to prove that we are noobs by keeping up the act. "Our friend has a CNR and he's gonna come kill you" "He won't get killed by CONCORD because they like him" "Ok, you can scoop our ice, but you need to give it back to use at the station." Finally our CEO returns and while cloaked sneaks up to Ryctor. The CEO uncloaks and set up us the bomb and we had one dead theif. Granted, we lost the Raven to Concord, and my client lagged so when I came out of warp my ship blew up (still not sure how that happened) and my pod went so I lost a full set of +3s and a barge, but being able to pwn that guy was so worth it.

Aerrin Tierre	Posted - 2007.05.05 12:10:00 - [75] I remember vividly the day the blue text of TomB appeared in the recruitment channel saying "Looking for corp" I almost died :D I still keep the screenshot of him hanging out in my corp for an hour and the squeals of delight from people in the alliance. One offered to give me kids :).. Sadly I biomassed my character in a fit of emo a few months ago, so I don't play any more.
Thommy	Posted - 2007.05.05 12:10:00 - [76] For me there have been many memorable moments like being part of an event but also an incorp pvp op (1 vs 1 in frigates). In the end it was decided to gank the winner with a stealth bomber (i was the winner) but i managed to outtank it. There have been many additions to eve which made playing alot more interesting (this includes complexes). I can still remember going into my 1st one a drone complex in abudban in my maller, drones where kinda bugged back then and moved with 1+ km/s and where very hard to hit with guns so i decided to use smartbombs. This worked well ... till i encounted another player within my smartbomb range. Still makes me smile and think back to that time when i see someone smartbombing and then getting concorded because they hit another player or his drones (still happens frequently these days ).

Navinavi	Posted - 2007.05.05 12:11:00 - [77] Jeez, this game is 4 years old eh? There's a cool thought... Most memorable experience for me would be ganking the ceo of a pirate corp with cruisers an t2 frigs, an then his friends warp in on us in t2 cruisers and send us on our way HAPPY B'DAY EVE!

Redblade Caldari Reikoku Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.05.05 12:12:00 - [79] Can't realy choose a single moment but a few highlights would be. The "OMG this is huge" feeling my first day. Fleet battles between FA and CFS back in the day when battles took forever and people where fighting all over the place, kinda miss the chaos fleetbattles was back then. Getting to fly a Tyrant during the hardware test event. First alliance tournament, the final was epic. Must agree with Avon a bit though about a thread beeing a bit poor for a birthday.

I dont follow the forums too much anymore, didnt realise you were back. Favourite Moment; Well the one that stayed with me longest is Ninja Mining Arknor in 0.5sec I think, in ibises, less than 24 hours after the game went live . Dodging those evuhl belt pirates who were actually a threat back then - The proceeds for that went towards buying the one of the first badger blueprints in the game - and the mining/trading that was done to acquire the minerals. After that it was Mining in Jita with a good friend in the first badger, one of, if not the first in the game I think, to make & sell the second, third etc. First badger sale netted 10m isk!! If there wass one thing I could wish for in eve - It would be that sense of wonder, amazement and sheer bewilderment that was felt when the universe first went live. It made me feel very very small; having been in the beta constrained to just one or two constellations & thinking that was pretty big :p There were just so many possibilities, now eve is starting to feel a little constrained. Great times indeed over these years, eve has changed & developed an aweful lot but it still feels like home

GM Spiral Game Masters	Posted - 2007.05.05 12:18:00 - [85] Four years, two years older than my own daughter. :) I have been with the game for two and a half year, joining just before EXODUS hit. It has been an incredible ride the entire time and I hope there will at least a few more good years still. Most memorable event? Jumping my first ever megathron into Egghelende only 10 minutes after it came out of production only to find tiller and his crew camping and promptly blowing it away. Tought me a lesson in not being careless. -------------------------------- Senior GM Spiral EVE Online Customer Support Team

4P's	Posted - 2007.05.05 12:21:00 - [87] This is easy - The very first time I entered 0.0 and got podded. I was crying in local like a little girls as they were destroying my Scorpion (which I though then was indestructible) and then I realized I wasn't breathing as my ship and pod got destroyed so I almost passed out on the keyboard! I got so angry I was seriously considering logging on this character and transfer the bastards into Jovian space! Since then I have enjoyed doing the same to many of you So maybe I am still a bit upset about this - Doctor, I have some anger issues...

Dakry helios	Posted - 2007.05.05 12:22:00 - [88] Most memorable was my first ever day in my current character. Oiginally i had a char who stayed in 0.0 but i couldnt keep him past the trial so this char was created later, i joined the corp i knew before and my first ever trip when i was about 4days old in game was from oursulaert to The Fountain region which was just funny as i was in a noob ship and was escorted by two of my friends in thorax's. very fun adn very scary but still the best experience.

Posted - 2007.05.05 12:27:00 - [90] \o/ Happy birthday eve :D Couple things really, Getting my first pvp kill solo in my pilgrim by killing a maller, was shaking so much i barely managed to engage the drones and scramble him Second was when in Quantum Industries we had to put outpost up over the weekend, and logging back on to tranq to see it there this pile of rusting minmatar glory Never had such a feeling of being so proud abotu something in a game before/since. Made having like only 5 hours sleep the entire weekend worth it, plus dragging it to eso from empire with just me/uni/andros and menth all near enough falling asleep on ts at 5am in the morning Ok i lie another :P Joining my first ever PVP corp ROA such an eye opener was unreal, and good to be playing the game how it was meant to be ever since

Mokh'Tar Minmatar Desktop Warriors	Posted - 2007.05.05 12:27:00 - [91] Most memorable event? Damn! I only get to pick one? It must be the first time I undocked. The vastness of the EVE universe struck me hard and left me wtfbbqpwnd and whimpering in a corner of Rens for some time. This was before I realised that the autopilot settings had to be changed not to avoid all systems where pod killing had taken place... Things became a little smaller after that, but not by much. I'm still baffeled by the sheer size of the thing. CCP must never give up on EVE. It's a 1337 piece of awesomeness. :D Keep it going!!
Lord Timelord Artifex Dynamics	Posted - 2007.05.05 12:28:00 - [92] One of the most funny/memorable moments I have experienced. I was mining in low sec in my Dominix, when a pirate in a Claw attacked me. Little did he know I had a Disruptor/Webber combo installed. Not to mention the horror he must have had when he saw me scoop my mining drones and deploy FIFTEEN Drones to BBQ him in short order! I only had 5 mining drones out on purpose. He returned about 20 minutes later in his Tempest, only to fall victim to my Ogre's. That's when I realized that Drones were not to be underestimated, and were a very valuable tool! __________ My Corporation's Website

Yeah, that's it SJ, nail on the head. All I am interested in is fufilling my selfish desire for stuff. Yeah, you got me. Or, maybe it is that I think that something in-game would have more of a widespread impact than a thread on a forum populated by the likes of you and me? You know, there are a lot of players out there who don't use the forums. Should they all be left out? Anyway, I'm staying out of this thread from now on. I don't mind Pann having a dig at me, but your bitterness really may drag me down. I'm modifying my original answer. My best moment in Eve was the complete and utter destruction of ASCN. (only joking, it is still Crielere). The Battleships is not and should not be a solo pwnmobile - Oveur
Mallikan Gallente Plundering Penguins	Posted - 2007.05.05 12:28:00 - [94] It would definitely be my first pvp kill. Aside from that, it would be the joining a player corp for the first time. Excellent! Happy four!

Several generous servings of my own ass later, i was dead. Havn't left 0.0 since, LOVE IT.

CCP Wrangler	Posted - 2007.05.05 12:35:00 - [99] This thread is for celebrating EVE, not arguing about petty things, so stay on on topic or else.. I have some memorable moments, like just after gate pirates (NPCs) were added to low sec gates and I happened to be in low sec in an Imicus of all things. I had to survive the pirates at every gate, jump and then repair before doing it all over until I managed to get to high sec space. It was always fun to do big convoys with my corp through camped gates, we jumped into a system with maybe 3-5 others in local, it took them seconds to jump out of our way. It was less fun when I managed to travel low sec on autopilot and went for a bio break, came back to a pod of course, but the pirate was nice and told me she wouldn't pod me.

We were both in thoraxes, but he knew how to equip it - I didnt. Nothing compares to the genuine fear of death in a computer game. --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune
Li'l Mol Minmatar Freelancing Corp	Posted - 2007.05.05 12:50:00 - [105] Happy Birthday 4th EVE, and grats to CCP for its triumphant success :D Memorable moments.. wow so many, but one that stands out for me was the 1st year event where the jovian ambassador got blown apart :) and everyone was scrabbling like crazy to find his body bits.. Memorable for me because it bagged me my 1st Tempest for my collection efforts, which is still going strong today.. and opened the door to cloaking tech. on top of that i found a full set of jovian bits lying around in an old can in a dark corner of my hanger under a stack of pax amarria :) So Looking forward the next 4 years :) Mol ______________ 'When all your wishes are granted...

argolighthand	Posted - 2007.05.05 12:50:00 - [106] I came imto this world as television was still in it infancy,computers were the size of mack trucks,and to the general public,scifiand games were read about and played on boards. In 55 years of life, i have seen buck rodgers,when the earth stood still,and countless other movies and programs trying to depict life in space.I was still forced to read it to imagine it. The most memorable moment in eve for me....when it finsihed downloading i gained access and went FINALLY!!! Yes i ***** and moan even at my age,but you have to have seen and lived the progression in life to appreciate what eve really is. happy anniversery.

My pod didn't survive the 2 rifters in the second belt, I don't think i eveer entered that system since( and that was october 2004). - flying through Jita and thinking 130 - 140 people online in one system was a lot. That was when Yulai was TEH trade hub and I didn't start visiting Yulai untill after it had been destroyed - escaping a fight with the MC during the IAC-ISS war with only 23%( or so ) hull left. The adrelin rush probably shortened my life by about 3 years EDIT: forgot to say: HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVE!

NPCing for my stabber fitting, someone warping in to "drop the module off i needed" little did i know they thought i needed ammo... easy mistake i guess. Nieve times indeed My first ever solo kill in a BS, killed a megathron, which wasnt that long ago, trained up Typhoon just for this task. The Typhoon is now in a museum for later generations. :) Soo many, too many to list. :) /me raises glass here is to another 4 years. :) Gratz CCP, u may have made some shocking decisions in the 4 years, but u still rock in my books... /emo hugs ----------------------------------------------- No i'm not good... but i have never claimed to be --------------------

Although dispanded now all the members(the small few) still talk daily and help each other out, so apart from the wars/ops/fun we had i suppose its the friends iv made here. Its the only game where the people you play with actually become part of your small family and its a great feeling. Happy Birthday EVE Lets all have a blast and make sure we're here again for the 5th I loves yas all -4rc- Death is the only true freedom, brought on by our own ignorance....

Oregon sinful	Posted - 2007.05.05 12:59:00 - [114] Let me make this clear I HATE MMORPGs. Except for this one. I watched my room mate play for a couple days and I thought 'psh, that looks dumb' But I was bored so I went ahead and got the trial anyway and I've been playing ever since. I didn't even fully finish the trial before I started paying for the game. I remember when I had just gotten my new Vexor and I was flying around a high sec system killing the frig rats with my medium drones I was so proud of just learning how to use. Well there I was ratting and looting the cans as I went when I came across a belt with a couple of full wrecks. Well I went ahead and grabbed that loot cuz dang I was making bank at 12,000 per frig plus loot. All of a sudden a player in the belt targeted me. I was like wtf? He's attacking me? So when he started shooting I launched my drones and shot back. My drones killed his and I was destroying his tank when he warped away... I chased. He docked and so did I to repair my damage and slightly refit. When I came back out there he was undocking too. I locked him and started firing again this time ignoring his drones. Words can not express how much I wanted to see his ship explode and how as soon as I learned about a skill that let me warp scramble him I picked up that skill and started learning vowing never to let one get away like that again. Too bad the timer is only 15 minutes or I'd still be chasing him through the systems. Now as still a nubler only 3 months old I feel like there is no end to the enjoyment and learning I can get out of this game. I have met ppl from Germany, Switzerland, Iceland, The states, Austria, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Europe and everywhere in between. I have connected with ppl that I will never meet in rl but can now say I know. The best part is I'm joining a pvp corp in 0.0 where the minimum sp requirement to join is 20 million but I made friends early on and now get to be a part of this elite corp. I can't wait to start killing people with friends rather than soloing it and having to sit in empire mining or doing missions to make isk for a new ship. \o/

Suvetar Forum Moderator Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2007.05.05 13:07:00 - [117] Wow, 4 years - that's so cool! Hmm, memories eh ? Well - I've still got the Scars and err coughstainscough from my ISD induction and Hazing. I'll never look at fedo's in the same light! Hehe - actually I think managing to get to see the Solteur a couple of years ago in the Event ranks pretty high up there Also, helping CCP test the new cluster in that massive event on Sisi was an amazing time too, I also helped out when the Dreadnought class was just released, IIRC there were 10 of us volunteers flying the dreadnoughts and I think about 2000 players came onto sisi to kill us! I was in a Naglfar (vertical ships 4tw) and it took a good 20 battleships to take me down, and that was only after I'd ran out of fuel for siege mode! I think they've been balanced a bit since then though Well, it's all good memories from the Time I first got Podded to every time I get to help someone in a mission ....

Mythrell Minmatar ClanKillers Dusk and Dawn	Posted - 2007.05.05 13:16:00 - [120] I guess it's the day when I came back from my first break. I had all my stuff and ships in some mordus station up in Pure Blind. I used to mine there and fly the minerals back to empire. And yeah, I was still in NPC corp (PTS ftw). It was kind of alliance free space before my break but when I came back it was warzone. Ofc I didn't know that, but tried to continue my mining there. After a while it came obivious that it's not doable anymore up there, and some group even camped the station where I was in. Boldly I decided to ask in local if they would let me go. One of their guys said after few questions that they won't shoot me, so I packed my things into Hoarder and start flying back to empire. Ofc there was this one chokepoint system which I had to run thru. After warping 15km to the gate, someone in a vigil started to scramble and very slowly shoot me. I had a talk with him in local but he was determined to kill NPC corp guys. Luckily I had some shield booster on my industrial and he had bad guns, so I made it to the gate. Atleast I thought that it was lucky at that point. I guess I don't even need to say what happened after I jumped into a major gate camp on the other side. Lost everything at that day, I had just invested most of my money on BP's etc just before my break so I didn't even have any ISK left. THat day was what drove me to join up on non-NPC corp, as it came obivious that NPC corp people are considered as spies where ever they go.

Also was the only time i ever contemplated quitting just because i did not know how i was going to face others in the corp and i feel that says alot about how important people are to eve.

Boci The Legion. Requiem-Aeternam	Posted - 2007.05.05 13:39:00 - [129] I would have to say my most memorable moment was two days after returning a full year after I played a 14 day trial. Gaijin says "Hey guys, lets go roaming. Everyone fly a frigate!" So we all undock and here comes Gaijin in an interceptor and off we go. 3 Rifters and a Crow, out galavanting around, I hadn't even npc'd yet ^^ We find a caracal ratting and we killed it! I was shaking so bad the whole time I wasn't even sure I was actually doing anything. Couple minutes later we are being chased and Gaijin gets us stuck in a dead end system. No gate BMs for this area. Needless to say Gaijin was the only guy to survive the journey, and I never flew a frigate in his gangs again :P
JediLover Rampage Eternal Ka-Tet	Posted - 2007.05.05 13:43:00 - [130] Thank you for game that was what it promised "Multiplayer Brabens Elite", I read about it in a aeroplane coming from business trim from Ulm and as old hardcore Elite player I signed in that evening to Republic Military School - 2003.09.12 22:42:00. My most vivid memoirs are amazing fights against odds as pilot of Mass, serving under thebold, his machinegun fast orders which only few of us good anticipate. Killing 3 times big fleets flying beside pilots like Random and Dalman. One memory that I still charish is the sight of seeing the SA fleets gather up in hundreds to say farewell to Rampage who had just died in real life. I think it was light darkness who led that raven wing which created symmetrical perls of cruises through the bloody sky of Stains. Of the late memoirs I mostly recollect the hatred against the game when I heard there was approximate 700 player limit to a system suddenly invented when coalition was attacking cap ship yard in bobbit land. I found myself lagging in previous system, and knewing the crushing number of cap ships knew bout the decisive victory to come and then hearing them entering to lag fest in serial, those hundreds of cap ships and nobody not calling it by the eve expertise and the numbers from ccp. It was first time I felt true anger about this game, and asked why it wasnt called on paper if the server couldnt resolve it right. Still even the years of best MMORPG pvp from 2003-2004 have changed into years of ISK and now gotten the form of age of Titans. The game is still worth celebrating. "And thus to bring open honest opinion as a dedicated player I had to let it flow" Yours truly, JediLover of Helsinki, 29 years, Senior Programmer

ShuPac the3rd Amarr Obsidian Inc. KIA Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.05 13:52:00 - [135] Well I'm playing EVE for year and half now and tbh my most memorable event was the first time I logged in and when I undocked...all that bautiful planets, moons, stations, sun in background....my jaws was like Beside that, in times when I made my first step into 0.0 and became member of ASCN, whole alliance participate in big event against Sansha's (I think it was Sansha) in TR0-7 system.... due the fact that I was in 0.0 for only 15 or 30 days, it was something I will never forget. Fight lasted for 2 or 3 hours (CYVOK correct me if I'm wrong about time frame) and I found myself in the middle of explosions, big ships, rockets, missiles, lasers beams....it was like a boy's dream come true! Cheers CCP and I raise this glass for another 44 (fourty four) years of this beautiful game P.S. Can I sue you guys in CCP if I get divorce because of EVE-online? ----- There's no lag in EVE!!
Dark Shikari Caldari Imperium Technologies Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2007.05.05 13:52:00 - [136] My most memorable event is when I was reselling Arbalest cruise launchers after the missile nerf patch (when cruise missiles became "in" again). I accidentally sold them all for a couple million each as I dropped the zero. I found the person who bought them, and got most of the cash back. We became friends, and made billions off capital components. He now runs EMFI and AATP, and I run his sales corporation --23 Member-- Listen to EVE-Trance Radio!

CCP Nag	Posted - 2007.05.05 14:00:00 - [139] Happy Birthday EVE! Been an amazing ride so far. I¦m probably going to get killed for telling this story. Can¦t remember precicely when this was, less than a year into the game. So we had this big alliance war against corp X (some of you are probably going to figure out who, they managed to declare war on around 12 corps at the same time (and this was before alliances became available btw)) and these guys used every dirty trick in the book (and quite a few not in it aswell) to play the game and we higly suspected that one of them was to dupe stuff. So one day in a system near Jita a hauler from corp X got shot down by someone and we hear it all over the alliance channel that the container that the hauler dropped was full of megacyte (The guy who shot the hauler did¦nt have any cargo to pick up the loot). So a good friend of mine in my corp realises that he has an alt in the next system that has a rifter fitted. So he logs out, and into the alt and gets moving as quickly as he can to the system where the hauler got shot. He¦s the first guy to the can, opens it and sees infront of him around 400k units of Megacyte (Now this is still very early in the game so this can was probably close to beeing the most valuable thing in the the whole EVE universe). Then he notices that there¦s a lot of people appearing in local, and he can see some haulers on the horizon approaching fast. Suddenly he realises that the cargo on his rifter is rather limited and he makes a quick conclusion that, "Hey! If I can¦t take it, why should I let anyone else?". So he targets the can and pops it, then flyes back to the station, and instantly deletes the character (back when that was possible) to remove all connections with his main. It was only then that he realised that he could have atleast filled his cargo with some of the Meg before he popped the can, and this was back in the days when money was money. Anyways, he was shaking and so high on adrenalin for a week afterwards that it was almost impossible to understand a word he said on TS. Shortly afterwards corp X got banned for duping stuff, so he pretty much did the right thing and removed ill gotten items from the game. ------------ CCP Lead Illustrator \|^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\| \|\| \|...BREE TRUCK..........\| \|\|'\|";, ___. \|_..._..._______===\|=\|\|_\|__\|..., ] - "(@)'(@)"""''"\|(@)(@)***''(@)[ My Gallery

Ailay ISD AURORA Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2007.05.05 14:07:00 - [145] The moment i will never forget was when i got my first kill. At the time, we were just another industrial corp who had a war against a pirate corp. We took down a cruiser in just an inty and a destroyer. When the fight was over, my hands were shaking so bad, that i was forced to turn off "push to talk" on ts because i couldnt control the mouse anymore.. Ever since, the best thing that happened to me was the acceptance into Aurora.

Ecid Q'Wulf Caldari Galactic Fighter Syndicate G.U.A.R.D.	Posted - 2007.05.05 14:09:00 - [147] The first time i played eve was short after it was launched, each and everyone in my Alliance in Planetarion (First Browser Game i really noticed and played for years) was trying it out. Sadly i wasn't really so excited by it as of another released game at that time - Neocron. Now, if i take a look back at the games i played while Eve was evolving (neocron, Plantside, StarwarsGalaxys (Dark Jedi Night ftw)) i can only say, when SWG got trashed and i stumbled upon a nice web ad for a game i had heared something about before, and playing a tutorial for like 6 hours i was really excited. Yes your right, it was EVE-online (again), and to be honest, i didn't even remember in my mind at that time that O didn't even like it before. The events that keep popping up in my mind again and again are beeing new in EVE for like a week, beeing urged by my corp to skill badger Mark II, and moving up to LS-Jep to help em haul crokite, beeing subcontracted and having Crokite worth 6.4 million of witch 10% where mine, jumping it like 4 Jumps to teh station, was the funniest thing ever with all of that hostiles trying to rip me apart. The other thing was sitting in isikesu, just having bought the raven i could barely fly to do Level 3 missions, having a mission at the gate, and then some punks came to try to steal my loot, oh boy did those ibis, kestrel and caracal die under the fire of my Heavy missles. Happy Birthday eve, and with the words of my grandfather: May you live as much more years, as the fox has hairs on his tale. Ecid Q'Wulf
Swirler Caldari Shadows of the Dead Aftermath Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.05 14:10:00 - [148] Having played the game since Beta, taking a year off, then coming back in Christmas of 2005, I really only have one memorable event from the game. Flying with Shinra in Lotka Volterra for many months allowed me to play a direct role in all forms of combat small and large. The defining moment was the defense of JV1V Ganymede station in Tenerifis. It was defining, because it reminded me of the limits virtual worlds can not surpass, and how truly a waste of time investing in such large projects is for those who want to play, vs. those like Red Alliance who work the game to sell isk for real cash. Skipping the story of lag, blob, node-crash, CCP intervention to the negative, etc. One thing remains from that and subsequent experiences. I understand the human nature behind developers playing the game, while wrongly helping their chosen side through cheating and abusing dev tools; what I will never understand is why CCP didn't make things right. Server side glitches that caused an entire system (77S) to not show sovereignty for the towers that were anchored and on line. CCP knew that the problem was on their side, but when asked to fix it, three days passed with no resolution, and finally they refused, requiring our alliance to actually have to fight to take back a station we had never lost in the first place. I can just see the headlines, "CCP Takes Station!" They handed an entire player run station over to another alliance because of their error. CCP's failure to make things right and restore the station to it's proper sovereignty will always be remembered as the worst thing in Eve I ever experienced. It was inept and incompetent to let it happen in the first place, and under-handed not to fix it and make it right. Eve-online is probably the best MMOG out there, yet it still has virtual world limits; it's made by humans, controlled by humans, and all the vice and virtue that comes with us is represented in the game. Truly a great human effort. Regards,

Tinwan Sonomura	Posted - 2007.05.05 14:22:00 - [151] Congratulations for the first 4 years and I am looking forward to many, many more! Most memorable, three years ago when I came over from E&B and just jumping into systems and marveling at the graphics! And that continues to improve! Bravo CCP! Rashid Starfury
Maximada	Posted - 2007.05.05 14:22:00 - [152] Well done on 4 years! Best thing ive done is Flying for Sani'Khal Vecna in the last alliance tournament. We lost all of our matches except one of them beating SMASH Aliance. We trained hard and it was good to go up against the best EVE has to offer in the way of PVP.
Tamryre FATAL REVELATIONS FATAL Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.05 14:23:00 - [153] Edited by: Tamryre on 05/05/2007 14:20:29 Aligned to a POS in YM-, in a relatively small gang of 30-40 or so BS. Suddenly the order is given to warp and engage the 4 carriers and 19 dreads assailing our POS. Decision to not engage Fighter support is made, it sounds like a foolish move, we're all going to die... Coming out of warp primary dread is locked, nos and guns engaged ... hostile support fleet of ~100 warp in. ****. We're getting pounded, lag is bearable, enemy fighters and smartbombs are going off, enemy BS picking at targets, support burning in. Fleet ordered to emergency warp out. In the middle of warp reports of weapons not reloading are heard, coming out of warp reports of ships not responding are made. Then ... a message is seen in Local: T H E K E Y Chowdown is in local .... 3 minutes later all guns are reloaded, ships aligned and in warp. Sounds of schoolgirl giddiness are still heard over TS as overview loads, wrecks scattered over the battlefield. Primary dread target is called. TS silence ensues. Could not help an ear-to-ear grin for close to an hour. Others did likewise. Thank you CCP for the greatest game.
Liosa Rearl	Posted - 2007.05.05 14:23:00 - [154] Happy 4th birthday. Most memorable? 10 of us stuck in a system and blocked off from escape 20 jumps away from home. 45 minutes of near death experience and the relief i felt at the backup to break us out made me rush to the bathroom to pee. NO OTHER MMO gave me that heartpounding experience. Congratz CCP, here's to better and more exciting times ahead.
Armundo Convergent Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2007.05.05 14:25:00 - [155] woohoo 4 years, grats on that landmark ^_^ Most memorable event? Getting my very first maller ganked by DigitalCommunist, during the m0o days.. back then I didn't know a maller couldn't take on a Mega ^_^.

Serial Driller	Posted - 2007.05.05 14:31:00 - [160] My most memorable, hopefully, hasn't happened yet. That's why I still play. I'm still trying out new things all the time. Up till now? Probably the first time I undocked in my first rookie ship and looked around. I've played a lot of MMO games in the past, but none like Eve (even SWG-JtL pre-change pales). I've always played space combat games from all the way back to Wing Commander I up to DarkStar One. Eve is a perfect fit for me. Originally by: K'reemy G'udness I think the kind of person who's going to do well at eve is the autodidact. This game requires self teaching, and what that doesn't cover, pain will do the rest.


Zapatero	Posted - 2007.05.05 14:33:00 - [161] As in RL, my best times in EVE have been with other people - inordinately in a group where one or more persons are getting steadily more drunk and typing strange words, typically during a mining op. I wish I still had the chat logs. Sadly my mining days are far behind me, but the hilarity continues thanks to TS, Vent, etc As for OOG - best was at the end of Fanfest #1 (long before E-ON came along). It had been a fairly disasterous evening (having to wait 2 hours for the beer taps to start flowing), but speaking with Reynir, Siggi and others late that night, there was a genuine passion for their game that I'd never before, or since, experienced in all my travels as a games hack. And unless the passing of time has embellished the memory, I even think a couple of tears were shed... Thank you CCP. Happy birthday to EVE... and to all who sail in her. o7 And happy birthday to my main, too - Z EON magazine - MMM Publishing - EON Awards

I think the most memorable fight I've had was while in 0.0, I jumped with a few guys from my corp into a huge gang of frigs, cruisers and some BS. We were all in BS at the time and totally outnumbered like 3 to 1. It was an "Oh crap" moment but we came away with a bunch of killmails (6 or 7 bs I think) and didn't all die (I think we only lost 2) Being given the opportunity to join ISD has to be one of my be one of my most memorable non pvp events. Now I get to test all the new spiffy stuff (as well as the very old stuff) and break it. I love finding some of those nasty bugs but I especially love seeing the exploits get fixed (I wont say which ones I found for fear of a lynch mob) [Bug Report Here]

Hey, good to see you back Pann. I think the most memorable moment for me was installing Eve for the 1st time. Never played a MMORPG before and not found one since that can match this. In game it has to be finding my first 0.6 system with no stations that I could sit and mine omber all to myself. I can still remember the sheer delight in mining my way into my first Thorax, (original char was Intaki)! Then the first corp I ever joined, ICEI, and the 'mine the CEO a new BS' ops that it seemed to entail :) Still going now after extended absence of the original mob although I've long since moved on. The Crielere event which resulted in the 1st Cloaking Device. Was my first sight of a BS rat, several 750k ravens spamming torps iirc. Gaaah, there's loads of highs now I'm thinking of it, too many to mention from the last 3.5 years :) ______________________________ A closed mouth inserts no foot

OverKill Caldari Hadean Drive Yards Archaean Cooperative	Posted - 2007.05.05 14:38:00 - [167] There are too many to list but I'll go over a few (why contain good memories to just one). - The time that HDY sortied on a mining op and destroyed the entire system worth of roids. To my knowledge HDY was the first Corp to accomplish this feat in under 24 hours. Granted, this was back in the day when we didn't have things like Hulks and Strip Miners etc. - When HDY completed the entire T1 ship BPO line and offered them for sale to our clients. That was a proud day. - Pretty much any antics of Hellgremlin, the Constantines, Ragnar and other iconic figures from the world of EVE - When Wrangler left HDY and went to work for HDY. It was a HUGE relief, we didn't have to listen to his incessant whining anymore (wink) - The first time I ship killed and then podded a M0O pilot was definately **** and giggles. The amount of smack talk that spewed from that kids mouth was truely monumental. EVE has been a HUGE part of my online personna and daily activites for the better part of 5 years. I hope that EVE continues for another 5! Regards, OK - Building With Tomorrow's Technology, Today! Hadean Drive Yards

Phoenix Lonestar Litanies of Hate	Posted - 2007.05.05 14:42:00 - [169] I can only think of two... 1) My first (and only) podding as a result of a trek through Rancer. 2) Deleting my beta character when I returned to the game because "Hey...this guy has weird skills. I think I should start over." I kick myself every time I see someone with a 2003 birthdate in local and everyone ****s themselves (including me). Hahaha.

Vartha Trin Unknown-Heroes Freelancer Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.05 14:45:00 - [171] Four years, wow. The most brilliant MMO out there, and believe me when i say that. Congratulations CCP. Most brilliant moment, the defence of CZD against the NFC. Just the unparalleled comradeship, the two battlelines, the blaze of gunfire, the flash of explosions. That's the beauty of this game, the moments are equal to those of sci-fi lore, The Battle of Hoth, the voyages of Serenity, the exploration of Rama. This game is sci-fi itself.
Blazde 4S Corporation Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2007.05.05 14:47:00 - [172] First time I opened the EVE political map. Not exactly an EVE-wide 'event' but for me it was the moment I knew I'd play EVE for a long long time. Then I spoke to a friend he said, "Well it's not really that territorial actually, they're trying to make it more so". I was disappointed, but I stuck with it. And now 4 years on territory is more and more important. The battles are more and more epic, their outcome can affect the makeup of the entire galaxy, and the politics is more and more important. Ace. I'll post more in another 4 years. _

A lot has happened during these 4 years and we would like to celebrate this with a trip down memory lane. So many memories, with the best being out of game, meeting various players at Gencon and GDC. Can't really beat meeting other players and hanging out with them shooting the breeze. Ingame, I'd say the first event I ran, it was in Ours, and I think every player who got involved, had never even seen an event, except one, who explained it to the rest, and they were all very, very into it, even though there was no pewpew. I look forward to being here 4 years from now as well, and meeting more of you guys.

CCP Morpheus	Posted - 2007.05.05 15:08:00 - [183] Happy birthday EVE.

I have never enjoyed working somewhere this much, and I don't think I ever will. Thank you to our insanely loyal customers for making this possible, you are EVE. I feel like I owe you a beer at fanfest 2007, so come talk to me! Regards, CCP Morpheus Internal Affairs Agent


SEP Baramos Minmatar ISD AURORA Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2007.05.05 15:10:00 - [184] It's far too difficult to say what my favorite thing was in game, alot of events have gone well and had awesome player involvement, and some things on my main were about as good. Still, overall, I'd say being at RL events, like Gencon and GDC, and meeting the players, was the best. And hanging out with players talking about EVE is always fun, because I'm a giant EVE fan(atic) like that. Players are what drew me to EVE, and you're definitely going to make ithard for me to leave, if that day would ever actually come. [cartman]I love you guys[/cartman]

Dano Katiria	Posted - 2007.05.05 15:10:00 - [185] My favorite moment would have to be realising quite how amazing the brutix is as a combat ship.

Such situations shows that role-playing in eve is splendid and keeps your corpmates very close to each other.

flnhst	Posted - 2007.05.05 15:22:00 - [192] Edited by: flnhst on 05/05/2007 15:19:17 Hello, When i first saw EVE Online a few years ago i thought was a horrible game compared to WoW. During those days i was playing WoW mostly. Last year, i was getting sick of WoW, i found out your only option was to grind and do dungeons in groups, that was never my playstyle, so i tried other online RPG games. With Auto Assault i had no luck. I was almost the same as WoW, i could never get any time free to play with people. Then i saw advertisement about EVE Online, about a 14 day trial, and i thought i'd give it a go. It was the greatest experience i ever had. If you wanted to mine, you would mine. If you wanted kill rats, you would kill rats. You would never be pushed in a direction. The best experience (and memorable moment) i got was today actually, i was flying my first Mining Barge. Compared with WoW and other MMORPG games i played, that was the greatest advancement for me then i ever had in a MMORPG game. Thank you EVE Online, and happy birthday!

Felysta Sandorn Caldari Murder of Crows E N I G M A	Posted - 2007.05.05 15:26:00 - [194] So many memorable moments in EVE... Some that come to mind include: Fighting a Myrmidon in my Arbitrator for over 5 minutes 1v1 in a tense battle to the death. Had my heart racing for hours afterwards, and has to be one of my best achievements in EVE as well as one of my favourite moments... It's in my first EVE video if anyone wants to watch, you can find it through the link in my sig. Laughing hysterically the other day as we (about 4 of us in BS) got a carrier dropped on us, then not 10 minutes later on the same gate got a second carrier dropped on us from a completely unrelated corp. The second fight involved THEM, and primarying our scorp pilot who we'd recently told to armour tank his scorp and fit 3 points and 3 sensor boosters... Our entire ventrillo server was in hysterics for at least half an hour about the badly fitted scorp and THEM's choice of primary! Losing 4 BS in one day some time last year (hence my sig). First to a few people complex running, then to a camp on some gate somewhere, then to 3 Dreads attacking our POS, then later that night to some more plex runners... Lots of fun was had and yes, I used to be a really bad player (still am half the time!). Every single time I go in to structure and manage to get my ship out! Testing a new ship out on an alliance friend and accidentally blowing him up! Taking a fleet in to S-U8 when it was controlled by the Goons and losing all our ships... So many awesome memories! Keep it up, CCP! Latest Video, Click Here!
Keyn Thror	Posted - 2007.05.05 15:26:00 - [195] Happy birthday, EVE ONLINE! My most memorable moment in the game happened when I was only few days old, only had a noob frigate and stumbled upon a fresh wreck of some player ship with CovertOps Cloaking Device (it cost about 89.000.000 ISK by that time). Actually the moment I'm talking about is when I pressed the "View Market Details" button... :) It was like "WOW!!! I'M A _LUCKY_ BASTARD!!! :)" Thank you all, CCP and EVE Pilots for this great universe!
Eidelon I.T.G.	Posted - 2007.05.05 15:28:00 - [196] Happy birthday Eve! Most memorable? The Yulai Incident. I was only one jump away and slammed on the brakes when space filled with the screams of the doomed Those were the days.
Braaage Laborius Chapter	Posted - 2007.05.05 15:29:00 - [197] I have a lot of memories of EVE, when I first started playing the mining OPs of the whole corp I was in (Foundation) was something to be seen. No mining barges or hulks back in those days, instead you have masses of frigs and cruisers all beating down on roids. Masses of lasers everywhere and after several hours mining you managed to get 1M trit. More later when I finally moved to 0.0 and helping out with allsorts and finally after 2-3 years playing, getting my first kill and setting the heartbeat into overdrive.

CCP Pann	Posted - 2007.05.05 15:29:00 - [198] Originally by: Horad One of my most memorable moments was the mariage of two corpmates from my time in northern light. Oh, geebus! That reminds me of the story about the first wedding in EVE. (And I'm laughing so hard right now just thinking about it that I can barely type.) LeKjart, who was the lead designer at the time, had made a bet with me at our launch party. I was saying we would have players that wanted to get married within two weeks of launch and he poo-poo'd the idea. "EVE is a man's game! We won't have things like that!" I was off by one week. It was three weeks later that I got an e-mail from two players (sadly, I can't remember their names) that wanted to have an in-game wedding. Cayman rushed to put these 'ceremonial rings" into different regions for each race. I got some pointers from Clover about Minmatar culture and made a shaman-type character to perform the ceremony, which I wrote. The big day comes and there's quite a crowd gathered for the event. MajorGormur flies out with this big-ass ship to fire off some AOE missles and such since we didn't have any confetti and fireworks. TomB, who was still in QA back then, flew a little too close to him, got blown up in his little frigate and all of a sudden in the chat channel where the ceremony dialogue is being broadcast, there are these warnings - "CONCORD is attacking MajorGormur!" - just spamming up the place. Gormur is trying to evade them, so they keep coming. I was about to die laughing, tears streaming down my face. Classic! Valerie "Pann" Massey CCP Communications Manager [email protected]

Anyway happy birthday, and thanks for all the laughs and the most awsome complex game ever...
Saint Lucifer	Posted - 2007.05.05 15:31:00 - [200] Edited by: Saint Lucifer on 05/05/2007 15:32:56 I've done some amazing things in my time in eve. Amazingly skilled, and Amazingly stupid. Unfortunately its one of the stupid things i'll never forget. After about 2 months of playing, mining hard, saving my isks, i finally got my beloved Megathron. I had worked towards it so long. I had it fitted, and undocked. As i undocked, i saw a tiny thorax, the players icon showing yellow, with a skull. "HA!" i thought, a tiny ship was no match for my huge battleship, his bounty was mine!. I opened fire and my armor melted in seconds. The system was 0.9, and his sec status must have only been about -0.5. I was only new, i didnt know the rules Concord have picked on me ever since. Why i didnt quit then, i have no idea. But i kept playing, and i have loved every day. - The other moment that i'll never forget happened only a couple of weeks ago. Our system in fountain was heavily camped, and intel was given that the invaders were raising a pos. I decided to bust through the station camp, to scan what had been anchored so far. Only a few bits, maybe their shield wasnt up yet. I decided hell, lets just warp to it and see. So i warped to the moon, and landed safely inside the forcefield. Nobody to be seen. A viator and an iteron 5 sat next to me, unpiloted. With my speed rigged rax, bumping them took only a matter of seconds, and i swiftly destroyed millions of isk worth of mods, rigs, fuel and anchorable equipment. My ranting in local quickly alerted them all to my presence at their pos, and 20 or so ships rushed to the pos to fix its settings and get rid of me. while a director tried in vain to fix standings, a brilliant game of cat and mouse went on inside the shield, ships flying everywhere in an attempt to bump me out. Finally, the settings were correctly enabled and i was bumped out, my thorax became space dust. Possibly the biggest solo victory i've ever had, estimated 100 million isk in damages - Last, and favourite memory (yes, im shutting up now) Paying someone in snigg 5mil to call Xirtam a****, on TS, during operation coathanger. That had me in stitches for over an hour.

Goodwin	Posted - 2007.05.05 15:36:00 - [201] Holy Flying Monkeys! I have been playing this game for 4 years. My best memory of EVE was going to the furthest system out in the area Serpentis had its stations; seeing the last system out there on the edge, before 0.0 became what it is now.
Burowin Lycan	Posted - 2007.05.05 15:37:00 - [202] Man 4 years already? Well my most memorable moment was warping for my first time. Thats when I knew this game was different then others. HAPPY 4 YEARS, hope you never vanish into the darkness of forgotten MMOG's

Its gotta be when I was voted ISD Volunteer of the Year in 2006. Heading to the Fanfest and meeting the fantastic people at CCP, the players and members of the community who attended and also my fellow ISD volunteers.

andymark	Posted - 2007.05.05 15:42:00 - [204] My never ending stupidity will be my abiding memory of Eve. To be fair I am probably one of the oldest characters in age and no spring chicken in Eve either. My first week was a little fruitless as I hadn't realised that you were supposed to 'learn' skills. Losing my Hulk while (almost) solo mining in 0.3. That was a good one. The 3 million insurance payout was a bit of a shocker as well. Bumping into other peoples well armed POSs with expensive cloaks in my supposed covert ops ship was another facet of my skills. I treasure all my kill mails as they only ever feature me being killed. Most pleasing was being donated my first Thorax, building my first Mega and keeping as far from 0.0 as I possibly can!! Here's to the next 4.
cpu939 Gallente Asguard Security Service Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.05.05 15:43:00 - [205] happy brithday ccp my most memorable event was the 1st time i went to rat in 0.0 with a great friend i didn't even have the skill to fly a bs at the time but it was great fun. I'm a nice guy I would not hurt a fly, thank god there are no flys in eve any post made by myself are from my own point of view and do not reflect that of my corp or alliance
Hakera Freelance Unincorporated Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2007.05.05 15:43:00 - [206] Happy Birthday Everyone! I did not arrive until end of may myself (saw the game on the shelf of GAME store and thought it looked interesting). Space seemed so empty back then. Spent a lot of time being an explorer in a slasher posting images of Points of Interest of eve on eve-explore and whoring eve-i. I thought the game was utterly boring mining simulator when i first started until I joined my first player corp where we started to have fun. Then I got wrapped up in the rebellion when some priestess of the Tetrimon cult decided to kill some Matari children and I got enrolled in local along with corp mates to go kill them. Was like one of the first times I saw battleships fielded. Months later I joined the rebellion and the fight for freedom. I remember living in curse in the days before alliances when only the stain alliance, fountain alliances, the beginnings of the venal alliance existed, many people lived in curse ratting and mining that was until Curse Alliance came and took it for themselves. Was fun times back then. Cruise missile spamming rifters and dual mwd ships 4tw :) Been emotional o>
Magnum III Journey On Squad	Posted - 2007.05.05 15:51:00 - [207] I remember how hard it is to get back a BC after you lost it, so never going to risk as much again. I'd rather remember how cool it was to go into battles more then once a month because you could not avoid it.
Scrutt5 Profiteers of War CUTTHROATS OF THE DARK SKIES	Posted - 2007.05.05 15:51:00 - [208] Loads of memorable experiences. How about when CCP gave us all snowballs and launchers, the hour or so after downtime were one of the funniest ever. Camping a gate and legally aggroing in Jita with your snowballs and watching Concorde play on your side till everybody wised up :) Great Job, lets hope were all here in another 4 years.
Barbitua	Posted - 2007.05.05 15:57:00 - [209] Originally by: babylonstew grats on 4 years \o/ most meroable event, my alt losing his first carrier to a 31 minute epic fight in stain best 31 minutes i ever had most memorable was killing poshdave, Mr provost and AOS Brendan when they jumped me in a belt in otosela unforgettable :)
Horvost	Posted - 2007.05.05 15:58:00 - [210] Happy Brithday to you, Happy Bridthday to you...dadadadllalala etc. Anyways, long ago as a noob in eve, I opened for the first time a window to a new EVE uniiverse .... it really did opne as a window which unfortunatly hid the chat channels (just off the bottom of the screen) so I spent my fisrt few days communicating with the EVE universe via evemail and thinking it was a bit much to charge for chat, CSPA must be making a bomb. Anyway i had to mine like mad to keep up the payments incurred by my prolific chat. Thanks to Damige and Knowl for pointing out that if I just raised the window a tad I could chat for free ....Cheers m8s

Most memorable moment in the game, and one of my most memorable in any game. GG CCP and happy birthday EVE, and here is to another four and more.
Sorthus	Posted - 2007.05.05 16:05:00 - [214] First time I took a BS out of the dock, a tempest. It took months to put it together and it looked so good as it slowly turned and warped out. That first big ship was awesome.

HAL 9000	Posted - 2007.05.05 16:09:00 - [216] If anyone can read my bio, you'll see that I was born four years ago too. So EVE's birthday is my birthday! Actually, I seem to be a day or two younger than EVE, but I thought I created this guy on launch day. Anyway, my most memorable event wasn't a single occurence, but an early experience: wandering around 0.0 and lowsec in a Burst in the first few weeks of the game. I mined Arkonot when I felt like it. I rarely ever saw another player. From today's perspective, that was a fairly unusual EVE experience!
Rachel Darkstar	Posted - 2007.05.05 16:11:00 - [217] Well four years, so it's still kindergarden age. :) I always liked the idea of living in space, that's why I signed up. But to be honest I never had a great moment in this game. I haven't got enough time to really get ahead. It's mildly enjoyable to stare at the ptretty screen. I never won a pvp fight and usualy end up being blown up. So basicaly I suck at it. And P.V.E. isn't the most exciting computer rpg I've done by a long shot.(Even though it certainly gets better and better) I'm still here because I have the feeling there could come a moment that it really would be cool. But that hasn't happened yet. I think the concept is exciting but it still has a long way to go.

My most memoriable moment in EVE, was when i was in Obalyu (0.4) in a thorax, chasing down two thoraxs and an omen... sadly they were all together, what do ya know! BOOM, BOOM, BOOM in quick succession

So far I been having tons of fun here, and the most memorable event was my first kill mail , had to kill another noob that ignored that stealing from someones wreck carries consequences hehehe

ValQis ISD STAR Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2007.05.05 16:27:00 - [224] My most memorable event. Ingame, i must say, disrupting a fleet op in a corp i was in, with an alt i had flying around to make fun with them. Hearing them call over Teamspeak, we have been discovered, a pirate corp is currently scouting out all our posses. grins evilly Out of game, being accepted into ISD. These are some of the best and funniest people i know.

3rr0rc0d3 Amarr Horizon Ventures	Posted - 2007.05.05 16:34:00 - [225] Happy b-day EVE! :D Most memorable thing for me was even before I started playing EVE... I remember going to a LAN at a friends house and seeing EVE for the first time... First thing I asked was "what the hell is that? I likes!" Ever since that day I've been thinking about getting an account and last year, I couldn't keep from finally getting it. Today, I am a proud EVE addict xD
Vherokior Mekornicherir	Posted - 2007.05.05 16:34:00 - [226] Although I haven't played the game for 4 years, I did start up in 2005 and the most memorable event for me when AAA was still fighting AXE for possession of Impass and we got like 30 guys to lock and do something (other than fire) upon a pod while a dread undocked to come and pod the pilot. That was so hilarious! Especially since it was all for fun and the pilot logged on a second after it happened.
Cassiuss Minmatar STK Scientific Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.05.05 16:34:00 - [227] I think my most memorable moment in EVE was fighting BoB vs ASCN, despite the arse kicking and smack it was still fun. Seeing the dawn of the capital age. Too many to list really. Happy Birthday EVE. That reminds me, STK will be 4 years old soon too. :) Cassiuss, STK-S Recruitment Officer
TornSoul BIG Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.05.05 16:34:00 - [228] Happy Birthday EVE! Most memorable moments? --Realizing that there would be no more char-wipes, and that now it was "for real". --(BIG) comming second in the amarr championships - (incredibly) beating Evolution on the way. --Having been part of the FA - Who, when it was great, was truly great! --Meeting up with the Jove in Fountain, and having a crowd of 150+ FA's gathered for the event in 20 minutes or less (unheard number of pilots in one place back then) --Stopping CFS and DSMA from fighting each other (under threat of FA killing whoever shot first) - Only to have them (and others) join forces some time later to try and oust FA. The irony of that one still makes me chuckle. --The 1 year anniversary of the BIG Lottery --The 2 year anniversary of the BIG Lottery --The 3 year anniversary of the BIG Lottery --The 4 year anniversary of the BIG Lottery (round 105 is the 4th anniversary round) BIG Lottery
Darkreaver	Posted - 2007.05.05 16:36:00 - [229] Happy Birthday guys, thanks for the last 4 years! So many memories... Just trying to figure out the game was probably the best, thinking things like "if i orbit the asteroid while i mine it, i get better yield" and "there is no way I will ever get a moa i could mine for years and not afford that thing" I guess the turning point was getting that first Indy ship (bestower ftw) and finally having a source of income. Then spending all of it buying megacyte to trade for miner IIs when they first got released. Those were the days.
Sanchez Ding	Posted - 2007.05.05 16:36:00 - [230] I remember the first time i blew someone up my corp had had a few run ins with Infinitus Odium (INFOD), so we decided to go down there and take a pop at blowing them up, we set of for Obe and by the time we got there everyone made there excuses and logged only 1 guy and me left so we entered the complex there and killed the first spawn and then we called for help in local saying we where getting our asses kicked in the complex a few minutes passed and no one came so we move to the second stage and killed the spawn called for help in local again and a few minutes later a guy jumped into range i targeted him with my passive targeter and unloaded a hail of missiles i was screaming in corp chat to the guy to open fire and pop the guy was in a pod and id nearly wet myself with excitement................

Fictions	Posted - 2007.05.05 16:37:00 - [231] Happy birthday Thank you for making a great game... Today its 1 year ago that i start to play eve that was the most memorable day. 4 years for eve 1 year for me i hope the game never fades....

Viashivan Amarr FM Corp Insomnia.	Posted - 2007.05.05 16:44:00 - [233] Happy Birthday EvE, most memorable event: First small PvP engangement, while I was still in Stain Empire and A Curse Allianze force moved into system.... I was so excited that it took me ages to refit my Omen. Once I was done the whole fight was already over :-)
Garalan Minmatar SuX ltd.	Posted - 2007.05.05 16:47:00 - [234] Originally by: CCP Pann Originally by: Horad One of my most memorable moments was the mariage of two corpmates from my time in northern light. Oh, geebus! That reminds me of the story about the first wedding in EVE. (And I'm laughing so hard right now just thinking about it that I can barely type.) LeKjart, who was the lead designer at the time, had made a bet with me at our launch party. I was saying we would have players that wanted to get married within two weeks of launch and he poo-poo'd the idea. "EVE is a man's game! We won't have things like that!" I was off by one week. It was three weeks later that I got an e-mail from two players (sadly, I can't remember their names) that wanted to have an in-game wedding. Cayman rushed to put these 'ceremonial rings" into different regions for each race. I got some pointers from Clover about Minmatar culture and made a shaman-type character to perform the ceremony, which I wrote. The big day comes and there's quite a crowd gathered for the event. MajorGormur flies out with this big-ass ship to fire off some AOE missles and such since we didn't have any confetti and fireworks. TomB, who was still in QA back then, flew a little too close to him, got blown up in his little frigate and all of a sudden in the chat channel where the ceremony dialogue is being broadcast, there are these warnings - "CONCORD is attacking MajorGormur!" - just spamming up the place. Gormur is trying to evade them, so they keep coming. I was about to die laughing, tears streaming down my face. Classic! Vasques Kroegler and Kronus Kroegler Both still in SuX Alive and kicking And Thx Pan .. it was hell of a show back then

Thank goodness. But I think next birthday or 2 will be for stepping into a station and walking.
Raven	Posted - 2007.05.05 17:03:00 - [239] Most memorable moment heh!! Many moments come to mind, although I would have to say the crowning of the new amarr emperor that was later assinated. It was quite the spectacle. It was quite funny to see the supposed emperor warp out after being attacked and his opponent that the attackers were rooting for commit suicide leaving his family heirless. A lot of GM's were present as well in their Concord ships, although they didn't do anything, just stayed there watching. Memorable day indeed.
Stems Trade Consortium	Posted - 2007.05.05 17:04:00 - [240] I remember back in summer of 2005 when I mined for my first Megathron using a Miner II Thorax Suffice to say mining scares me after that ordeal

Velodra Gison	Posted - 2007.05.05 17:04:00 - [241] Happy Birthday EVE! Having only played for about 4 moths now, i would have the say the most memorable event is my first escalation from an exploration complex. It sent me a few jumps out in 0.0, and that was the first time i went out there. I got podded in a gate-camp on my way back, but it was a realy exiting trip anyway. And at the end of the escalation i found a Corpii A-type repper, and because of that my wallet also passed 100m for the first time.

Blade Gunner STK Scientific Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.05.05 17:14:00 - [246] The most memorable event was the RL death of a Character capsuleer pilot, known as Kirian Skellig. It was the early days of EvE and wars were personal and not alliance based (although Stain and Fountain etc were controlled by alliances named after the region in those times). Kirian had touched the hearts and minds of many and it was decided that a meorial event would take place in which a 21 gun salute was conducted. I had the honour of self destructing one of the 21 kestrels used for this salute. Many pilots were hostile or at war but for that night there was peace in the home system of a departed friend. CCP have brought the buzz of combat, the tears of laughter and the companionship of corpmates. It has been a bitter sweet experience at times but we must accept that breaking new frontiers has its pitfalls. Congratulations CCP for you continued effort to lead us into the next gaming experience. To straight talk is free, smack talk can be very expensive. the choice is of course yours .
Gryffonia O.M.N.I.	Posted - 2007.05.05 17:16:00 - [247] My most memorable moment of EVE was my first time low sec. Entered a dead space and got jumped upon by a HAC and an inty. BOOM, one dead thorax. took me a good week of solid play to buy that. Sad moment. But i've been hunting them ever since because, tbh, who shoots at a week old noob? Brill game CCP, loved all 8 months that i've played.
DJTheBaron Caldari FATAL REVELATIONS FATAL Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.05 17:21:00 - [248] The most fun i've had was when i trained for 10 months before i bought my first battleship by running lv3 missions, ca vs sa in u-qv in my 2x mwd raven. I was 200km from the enemy and burned down towards them to stack my missiles into one fatal blow, but before i know it im the closest one to the sa fleet, everyone locks me and opens up, rather than loose inertia and get within weapons tracking i burned straight through them another 150km and sling shotted right through the bulk of their fleet, out the other side and into the relative safety of my 70% structure, medium armour rep with my heart beating through my chest as it came to light if i lost this ship there wa sno way in hell i could afford to replace it. So with half armour and 20% shields as sa began to warp away in defeat, i burned back through and did the same again helping to pop several ships during my sling and hearing thol and duke commenting over ts, holy ** look at dj's raven, on its first outing. Mproudets moment being in FATAL Alliance, consisting of merley fatal corp and a few friends, defending ym- vs 4+ alliances, for 3 weeks, having chows titian and mc as star guests and basicially forcing 4 alliances to buy our outpost from us rather than continue to loose so many ships.

Banister Haynz	Posted - 2007.05.05 17:27:00 - [249] Happy Birthday to EVE I've been here off and on, but I always seem to come back. Great game, can't wait to see how White Wolf helps to develop in-station characters and gameplay. For my event, let's get into character. Ahem.... Arrrr matey. I were just a lowborn noob raidin' a lvl 2 dedspace depot. Was Poppin Gurista frigates an' takin their plunder left an right an me Thrasher-class destroyer was spoutin artillery fire like New Years fireworks. I were chatting in Teamspeak with corp mates as I jumped inta tha next area of the zone and there, not even 5 kilometers away were a pirate Osprey-class Cruiser! Hehe now ye might not think that such a big deal, but in them days I hadn't flown anythin bigger'n destroyer and it were the first enemy cruiser I ever did see and before I know it she were firing at me! So we were going round an' round, weapons fire blazin' and me corp mates shoutin' encouragement in me ears and finally that Osprey flares up in what were tha biggest explosion I had seen in space till then. I'm wearin a cat-ate-the-canary grin, me corp mates are cheerin in me ears and I grabbed me first ever Looted Worm Blueprint that day too. Don't seem like so much now, but back then that were a moment indeed! Arrr... Hehe Happy Birthday EVE!

Gamtu	Posted - 2007.05.05 17:36:00 - [251] My most memorable moment.. The second attempt to get a Dominix to the S-I6VU region. This time I put a cloak on it. I had to get that ship out there or I was done. I had no money left and needed to do some high dollar ratting. I got within 10 jumps of my destination when I saw a faction BS and an elite Frigate camping gates together. They spotted me, I jumped and they prombtly followed. I cloaked and they started circling the gate trying to bump me. After about 5 minutes they gave up and I got my ship home. Scares me to death just typing that!
Sabahl Minmatar Reikoku Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.05.05 17:40:00 - [252] Edited by: Sabahl on 05/05/2007 17:36:53 Most memorable event for me was about two hours after the servers first came up. I decided that roid hitting, even at that stage, was boring as hell and decided to go and attempt to take down some roid rats. Very few had tangled with them up until that point in live and the whole of the Pator Tech channel were cheering me on as I engaged in my trusty Probe (250k ISKs worth of ship - a fortune for then at NPC prices, and that's all there were because nobody could hope to afford a BPO yet). As the last frigate popped I flew towards the can and had a peep inside to see what had dropped. And within there lay a spanky new Partial Hull Conversion Expanded Cargo Hold, the best available in the game. Seeing as the best way to make ISK at that point was NPC to NPC trading, I was a rather happy camper indeed. Everything else has been down hill [;)] Poor bard, I must give you a cookie!- Tirg
Drash Kammatarr German Cyberdome Corp Cult of War	Posted - 2007.05.05 17:42:00 - [253] Edited by: Drash Kammatarr on 05/05/2007 17:39:16 The most memorable thing was in the war of V against Ra and Goons. It was in the siege of 1V- and Ra/Goon locked down the system. We were 1 jump out and waited for a possibility to enter 1V-, when suddenly our FC (someone from LV) told us on TS: "Gentleman, we have just sucessfully launched a doomsday device on the hostile fleet". About 10 minutes later, the first killmails arrived. If I remember correctly, it is still the most succesful launch of a doomsday device, resulting in more than 200 kills. That was amazing....happy birthday EVE :)

I love the community and my favorite moments would include: -Meeting a nice person on my first week on trial and playing with them till it expired -Trading npc goods to low sec and finding it and the surrounding 0.0 utterly deserted so taking a trip in 0.0(not near downtime) -Learning about blueprints -Fitting out my first tormentor for trade -Fitting out my first inquisitor for trade -Fitting out my first coercer for defense against rats in mid sec while mining -Losing my inquisitor right after a succesful trade in low sec -Researching the ships i can fly on trial and realizing that I will actually pay for an mmorpg monthly... Months later -Getting my first bestower -Fitting out my coercer with as many guns as i can and doing my first mission -Buying my first BPOs -Knowing the difference between a Carebear and a Hardcore Industrial Man Recently -Finally realizing that I should go train up viable pvp skills and enjoy the other 60% of eve miners-you can: switch, rob, wardec, nerf, scam them, buy below market, pirate them on their way to sell. mining < trading, ratting, manufacturing from market bought minerals,they still wont go away
Nipplator Amarr Beasts of Burden YouWhat	Posted - 2007.05.05 17:42:00 - [255] I remember only playing for about 3 hours and heading to a place my rl friend was flying 40 jumps with out warp to 0. I got to 5 jumps away from the solar system where my friend was and hit a 45 man gate camp. When i loaded the system i was where i started, so i did what everybody would do and tried about 5 more times. i was so mad but it was so much fun and looked so good that I haven't stopped playing.
Plattestan	Posted - 2007.05.05 17:43:00 - [256] My favorite EVE fiction content was the scientists who were buying corpses to experiment on mind control. Where did they go? My favorite gameplay content added would MOST DEFINATELY be salvaging (and, subsequenlty rigs). The option of 'customizing' the capabilities of each ship was a humongous leap forward in making this a 'truer' MMORPG. My most poignant moment on EVE was last month when I found out about the RL passing away for Comander Bobby. He was my first player corp CEO and a good friend. My condolences to BobbysGirl in her time of loss. I've only been on EVE for 1/4 of the time EVE has been online, I look back on my time here and recount to my newer players how things have changed. I can only imagine how those pilots that started Beta testing feel about all that has taken place.

ClarCE Pitbull Industries	Posted - 2007.05.05 17:52:00 - [258] My Most Memorable Event has to be when a corp mate ( Treag ) decided to show me what a large Proton Smartbomb Does outside a Station in Stacmon ( Empire ) Then I also got to watch how quick NCP would rip a ship ( Treag's ) apart I laughed for weeks after that
StarCrash	Posted - 2007.05.05 17:52:00 - [259] Happy Birthday Eve

BH Yildun Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2007.05.05 17:54:00 - [260] I would have to say my most memorable moment was the first time I undocked in my brand new thorax and headed for the nearest asteroid belt. The feeling of pride was very potent :)


Koddo Defile. Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.05 17:55:00 - [261] 3 things: 1) Killing 950k BS rats in an Incursus as a 2 week noob, 2) My first act of Piracy, 3) The day CCP nerfed our alliance. and maybe the spontaneous combustion of my sig :/ Your signature exceeds the maximum allowed filesize of 24000 bytes -Hutch ([email protected])
Onanala	Posted - 2007.05.05 18:02:00 - [262] Hard to keep to one event--a good sign Eve rocks! 1) Defending our POS in Aeschee with wolfpack (frigate blob) tactics and taking out a couple battleships. 2) My character losing her way, getting a bit suicidal, and finding a solo miner in a belt to self-destruct and pod herself (no clone) in front of. The guy was like, "Wow, that was awesome!"
RooSan	Posted - 2007.05.05 18:02:00 - [263] The most memorable, hmm, too many. But what always struck me was that when I began playing EvE and it would take like forever to get somewhere i would think "why am I doing this?" Three and a half years later I have to get a daily fix or I don't feel right, and yes, I do have a life in the RW Congrads CCP and to all you other pilots that have made this a great experience
jattell Celestial Horizon Corp. Valainaloce	Posted - 2007.05.05 18:05:00 - [264] My most memorable moment was a couple weeks after joining cls. Now over 2 years ago, when i was just a little noob, barely a month into the game. Force Of Evil ( FOE) declared war on Xetic after they discovered that XF had hired the mercenary coalition against them. Within the day of the war becoming active a large fleet was gathered in empire to attack Obe and push further into trying to get to one of the conquerable stations. I installed teamspeak and bought a headset just for that op. And i will never forget the feeling of warping into a huge cloud of purple when gathering. Or the moment when the MC joined Ts and hearing the Seleene and their fleet warping in. It was my first trip so far into 0.0 Ofcourse i didn't survive the first 5 minutes of the fleet battle. But it was an amazing moment for me to be a part of that.
Gun Kata F.R.E.E. Explorer EVE Animal Control	Posted - 2007.05.05 18:05:00 - [265] Edited by: Gun Kata on 05/05/2007 18:02:06 Happy Birthday EVE :) My character 4 is years old on the 10th May - how time has flown by... Memorable moments - being hunted by the Jokers, paying a 'safety' fee to stay alive and not lose my ratting Scorp ( lol ) and them honouring the deal (these guys were/are pretty cool to be honest). Oh and trying to take on 3 BS pirates in a 3 cruiser team and having my arse handed to me :) "Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them, I don't give a f*** how crazy they are."
Jochalca	Posted - 2007.05.05 18:08:00 - [266] I'm fairly new, but my first "COOL" moment was when I warped for the first time and saw the Doppler effect. Ever since then I still look back to check it out. Happy 4 EVE.
Emerald666 Amarr Initech Corporation Fuzzy Nut Attack Squirrels	Posted - 2007.05.05 18:09:00 - [267] Memorable moments: A) Joining my first "Ghost Fleet" with Curse Alliance(original) in a Punisher and my first kill-assist being a Tempest. B) After getting my shiny new Absolution... Two guys (both in Rifters) attacking my ship and getting PWN'd C) Being in a Cormorant in a fleet battle in 7Q-8Z2 vs. NBSI Alliance. And having such a bad LAG that the Jaguar I was firing on actually activated his Small Remote Armor Repairer I on ME on accident, then BOTH of us popping at the same time. D) Fitting my first Cruise Missile Kestrel. E) Getting my second account Amarr 4TW! :)
The Slayer Caldari GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.05.05 18:14:00 - [268] I like PVP and think I am ok at it. Put me in a dominix tho and I think im a god, which is not the case as is proven by the fact I lose more domis than I do combat drones. My best memory of eve is the one time I WAS invincible in my domi, taking on an 8 man gate camp consiting of multiple battlecruisers, killing them all and flying away with their loot. Nothing beats the feeling of knowing you just ruined 8 peoples gate camp :)
Aaron	Posted - 2007.05.05 18:18:00 - [269] Ive acctually been playing since may 2003, I would say my most memorable moment in eve was simply buying the game, installing and playing it. When I was a kid I used to play David Brabens Elite on my Amiga 600+, and I completly loved the game, I would sit for hours playing the game improving my rank, and trading stuff. I just loved the concept of the game. and used to think to myself that It would be great if other real players could play in one big online universe. About 10 years later I heard about EVE and it just brought back so many memories of Elite, I was just so eagar to install and play, the shop that sold it to me gave me a copy where the code had already been used, so I had to rush back to the shop and get another copy. I then brought lots of beer and spent the entire day and night playing. Well done CCP, u guys are wonderful, and I take my hat off to you. Thanks for making one of my childhood dreams come true
ghengis khan2	Posted - 2007.05.05 18:26:00 - [270] the most memorable event for me was in my origional incarnation, when i joined my first, and at the time one of the most feared pirate corps. the very first time you lock someone with intent to fire and kill for no other reason than because you can,. sweaty palms , even shaking with adrenalin. then a war with a whole alliance, i think that feeling is hard to get back once its been tasted for the first time.

Zela Martek	Posted - 2007.05.05 18:29:00 - [271] Yeah, the first time I got all worked up cause I got blasted by some Goon (podded even)and it had taken me some four full hauls to buy my new Merlin (I mean wow, say goodbye to the ****ty condors man! ). Then I realised, "Dude, this will happen once too often so either get a grip and mine faster, become a pirate and get even, or quit the game"...the 3rd was not an option, hence:
sturmi Liga Freier Terraner Star Buccaneers	Posted - 2007.05.05 18:30:00 - [272] Gratz for the 4 years The most memorable event for me was, is and will be that ia m still in the same corp than at the beginning. This is hard work and i will remember everytime Look on our Killboard: LFT Killboard
Omber Zombie Gallente Frontier Technologies	Posted - 2007.05.05 18:32:00 - [273] Most memorable... The 3 days straight spent mining omber in a bantam. It had a lasting effect on my mental state. ---------------------- sig out of order, returning soon FTEK \| Production ~ Research ~ Sales ~ Election Fixing
Exortius Amarrus The Clearwater Society Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2007.05.05 18:36:00 - [274] My most memorable moment would be getting 1 shotted by a dread in A-1CON before half of us knew what transversal was. EVE gets the hard pumping in PvP like no other game can. Here's to another 4 years. o7 ------------------------
Grey Area Caldari	Posted - 2007.05.05 18:39:00 - [275] Edited by: Grey Area on 05/05/2007 18:37:24 Grey Area is about 12 days younger than the offical EVE release, so it's nearly my birthday too... So many memorable events... Making first million by ninja-mining Bistot in an Ibis... Losing my first probe whilst scavenging items from the NPC spawn in EC-P8R (in the days before it was camped 24/7)... Thinking I was hopeless at PVP then taking down three corp members in my Merlin before they even killed me once... Ahhh...my Merlin... Running hauler mission out of Uemisaisen... Seeing the EVE gate for the first time... My first and only podding...(not happy) Getting mission-jacked and ransomed... EDIT - possibly THE most memorable one I forgot...the day we all logged in after a mini-patch at downtime...launched ships and...nothing...no-one could move. Much hilarity. Thanks for the nostalgia trip CCP...I don't know any game I've ever played that's had this kind of staying power...looking forward to nostalgic moments from the NEXT four years as well... --- I don't mind you disagreeing with me. Just don't say I don't have the SKILLS to comment.
TIvian Caldari Black Omega Security GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.05.05 18:41:00 - [276] Well, its been more than 4 years for me if you include my time in BETA. Tivian was born 4 days after launch. Thanks to CCP for making this game. It has been the best gaming experience of my life!!! And in a way it saved my life. At the time of release I was in the middle of a horrific divorce and custody battle, I was alone for the most part and what happend 2 weeks after being in game really is the true and best memory that I have about this game. Twizzler Pogy Bait and I were in The Hushz at release. we had been forced out of Obe by m0o and the other pirates that roamed that region. We decided to hunt Angels in the buffer zone between the Curse Alliance and the Stain Alliance...or what we now call the Xetic region...no stations no alliances just a war zone between 2 of the most feared and powerful alliances. We hunted in Omens deep in 0.0 and stayed low profile. Twizz and Pogy had gotten bored of the game by this time and had threatned to leave all together so I was hunting by my self. I was alone in a system fighting 50K bounty Cruiser spawns and the Angels pulled one of their nasty tricks by warping off and calling for back up. then warping back in...I went down fast. I was in my pod. 30 jumps from empire and started my long trip back. My first jump out of system and warped to the next gate only to arrive next to the very first Battleship I had seen in game. A giant Typhoon class BS flying the Curse Alliance tags. This BS belonged to Karnah from Black Omega Security. I knew I was dead meat...my pod looked so small to this battleship and to say that I was freaked was an understatment. I waited for the lock up and resigned my self to quick death. SO in bold flash I typed in local "COME ON I CAN TAKE YOU!!!" and the BS jumped. I followed and in local Karnah said "I know!! Why do you think I jumped??" and at that the ice was broken, and I was recruited by Black Omega and the Curse Alliance an hour later. I was part of something really really special. And I will always remember my time as a member of the Old School Orignal Curse Alliance. I also remember the big fight that happend between Concord DED(GM's and Devs?) vs m0o. and the changes that came from that fight. There are just way too many storys to tell. but I still love the game...all though I do have some issues that I feel need to be addressed but I wont bring those up as this is CCP's time to bask in the glory of making the greatest mmorpg ever! Take a bow guys and girls!!! I can't wait to see what happens in the next 4 years!!
Shin Ra BURN EDEN Terra Incognita.	Posted - 2007.05.05 18:42:00 - [277] Most memorable event is probably CCP's third Birthday, when they actually tried hard to make a worthwhile event.

EA Jabik ISD AURORA Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2007.05.05 18:49:00 - [278] I have loved each and every moment, and look forward to at least 4 more. LONG LIVE EVE!!!


Killoran ISD STAR Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2007.05.05 18:53:00 - [279] Happy Birthday Eve! Here's to another exciting and fun-filled year! I remember starting my character in 2004 where I quickly joined a small corporation and together we moved deep to 0.0 space. I was always considered crazy by those I knew for ninja mining in a battleship with a hauler in a safespot. I did this all by my lonesome for a few months on end. This included solo-trips back to empire in a hauler filled to the brim with high-end minerals some 30 odd jumps in the waking hours of the morning (without a scout in most cases). In addition to in-game, I'd have to say joining ISD and attending Fanfest 2006 have been some of my most memorable experiences out of game. Having the chance to explore a new country and at the same time meet so many people that make Eve and the community so great was one of the best experiences I have ever had. /waves to all those he met and hung out with at FF '06

Mediek Ordos	Posted - 2007.05.05 18:55:00 - [280] To Define a most memorable event would truly be difficult as for me being part of the Eve community and meeting some realy extrodinary peole in game and on TeamSpeak has been Very memorable and made Me a lot of friends over the years. Happy Birthday EVE YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR !!!!!!!!

Sue Slick Caldari Red Light Enterprises	Posted - 2007.05.05 18:55:00 - [281] i remember when i first started before selling my main for 2b :P when i shot the station and i lost my nice little reaper. i was so ****ed i almost stopped playing there but glad i didnt Happy 4th birthday EvE online
Briani Andromeda Survey and Mining Division Eve Trade Union	Posted - 2007.05.05 18:58:00 - [282] Happy Birthday EvE and all you 4 year Oldies out there. My favoutite moment was after picking up my first Megathron and taking it to my home system of Thashkarai. In order to get the afore mentioned Megathron I spent many an hour mining in a Thorax to get the minerals required for the build and to exchange some of those for the Megacyte and Zydrine needed for the build. I get my shiny new battleship home and announce to the couple of guys who have been living there for the last couple of months about the latest addition to my fleet. Their replies were 'Gratz mate' and 'How did you get the isk together for that?' 'Mining tons of pyrox and kern here in Thash.' I answered. 'There's no kernite here. We've been mining the belts here since we arrived' said one of them. 'Nope. Deffo no kern here.' said the other. Hearing that was priceless and oh how I laughed. There was kernite in those belts and it was me who mined it all in my little ole Thorax. So I'll end my little tale with this thought... Next time you go looking for kernite and there's none to be found ask yourself whether it was a barge fleet who beat you to it or a lone cruiser pilot. My money'll be on the barge fleet but you never know.
poof312 Caldari TARDZ Gods of Night and Day	Posted - 2007.05.05 18:58:00 - [283] My most memorable moment was beating a pirate while ratting in 0.0. He comes up and warp scrams me, and somehow my ferox managed to outdamage both the rats and the thorax I was fighting, and he scurried off, looking for easier prey.
Pelsson Amarr Northern Intelligence Artificial Intelligence.	Posted - 2007.05.05 19:10:00 - [284] Memorable moments: A: While warping to Yulai gate in Amarr I went to get my smokes came back and Admiral Iceblock and some other guy were blasting the last pcs of my hull down (My first uninsured bs went down. (few months gone mining/npcing for a bs) B) Hugging the Yulai gate in Amarr waiting until Zombie inc. had finished they're job C) had to log 3 times into the eve-forums to post in this thread

Xullrae	Posted - 2007.05.05 19:10:00 - [285] My best moment was way back when in 03, I finally mined enough minerals to have my very first Megathron built. I waited the hours and hours it took to complete, assembled it, jumped into it and realized i couldnt fit anything on it. I had spent so much time training just to be able to sit in her that i forgot to get any combat skills :) So I had a useless battleship but i sure looked cool. :)

Flor Jon Gallente Friendship 7 Corporation YouWhat	Posted - 2007.05.05 19:17:00 - [286] Best moment (that is still happening) The corp i'm in. Friendship 7 found me about 1,5 years ago and i'm still with them. (not counting the 2 weeks 'break') Other then that, first time i was podded by that bloody bob... (which i'm now allied to) :)
ONuke Caldari AWE Corporation	Posted - 2007.05.05 19:20:00 - [287] Edited by: ONuke on 05/05/2007 19:23:02 Edited by: ONuke on 05/05/2007 19:19:47 When the game initialy came out i played for 3 months then quit thinking 'oh that's nice, but it was missing something'. I couldn't put my finger on it, but later that same year you guys asked for us to try it again and i haven't left since. Even with all the server and reliablity issues you guys have done well at fixing those and making the whole environment enjoybale to play. (Otherwise i would have left long ago). Congratulations on your 4 years, hope for many more Thanks ONuke oh & btw the snow balls and laucnhers were loads of fun! Just and Old Nuke having fun.

sullahp	Posted - 2007.05.05 19:24:00 - [290] i think the most memorable time during my 3 years had to be when i 'came of age' as a PvP'er when i was flying with d.e.v.i.a.n.c.e. with whom we held the entire tribute region under our ceo black lotus until we got backstabbed by 'F-E' a ATUK fleet had amassed in P3-ENE and us noobish frig guys had orders to eliminate all tacklers before the rest of the fleet went in to sort these guys out. well, let me tell you, this was a bit of a sell-out because even more ATUK guy n gals jumped in and the main fleet stayed put leavin us frig guys 'in the sh*t'. well, you'd think that, in reality a handful of frigs managedto force a large(ish) fleet out of a 0.0 gateway system and back into empire happy birthday eve, i know you (the devs) aint exactly been the bestest of buddies with me but congrats on a great job down the years on doing your best to keep everyone happy. (even though i still think the alliance system is not the way to go) phall.

flummox	Posted - 2007.05.05 19:24:00 - [291] i remember first reading about EVE about a year or more before it went live in some publication in print or web that i cannot recall. didn't have a working computer so i didn't sign up for beta. later i got a working pc and played freelancer for months drooling about EVE. i lost track of the game through reallife and then when i got cable i-net into my house, i went surfing around and stumbled into the news that the game was live! oops... i immediately went out and got the game and made a character. (yes, i live in the us and they did have it on store shelves way back then. i proudly have the original software package, booklet and everything!) back then i was able to stay online all day and night. i fondly remember flying around and discovering the world until my daily DT breakfast. i'd watch the sunrise right outside my living room window waiting for the server to come back online. then it was back to space! so far i've been having a great time playing this game. i have brought two of my closest reallife friends into the world of EVE. they have brought people in, and we have all met some great players out in the stars. thanks for a great game, CCP! and happy birthday EVE ! ... bring me my cheese... i love cheese... "The great state of Vermont will not apologize for its cheese!"
superclip ISS Navy Task Force Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2007.05.05 19:28:00 - [292] congrats CCP! please never stop! and as for my most memorable moment.. it is, of course, the Nyx kill while holding out with every free moment and isk we could squeeze out of ourselves in defense of what we used to call home.. RIP C3.
Shaori Akuma	Posted - 2007.05.05 19:29:00 - [293] Happy Birthday Eve ;)
Tenebrys	Posted - 2007.05.05 19:33:00 - [294] Most memorable event? Well. Gotta look early-ish. I suppose that it was the first mission I took that was actually difficult. One of the Level I missions, the "Split up into 4 groups" one. I recall that, early on in my attempts, I lost my ship and was sent scrambling... when I was shopping for a new one, I picked a Caldari Merlin. I didn't really know how to fit it, so I gave it two blasters, two rocket launchers, an AB, t2 extender, and some other stuff. Then, went back. It became obvious pretty fast that, well, despite my thorium blasters doing damage that I'd never seen so high, my range sucked, so I'd have to get up-close and personal. So, I did... my afterburners seemed to help in that respect. 15 minutes later I was down to two destroyers and one frigate to take care of, and my shields were on the verge of failing. And I was ready to tuck tail and run. I started to, in fact... when I was 10 KM off, though, I said to myself... "What the hell am I doing... running away like this... there's only one way to be a hero..." and turned my ship around. Lost my shields, took a lot of damage, but destroyed the rest of the fleet. I was shaken as hell (didn't have much isk after buying and fitting the ship) but satisfied. ^_^
Am'dar	Posted - 2007.05.05 19:35:00 - [295] Happy B-day Eve my best memory was the day i began to play eve. i instantly fell in love with eve. the beaty of everything inside.
Forumtroll	Posted - 2007.05.05 19:36:00 - [296] well, I haven't been with EVE for more than 3 months, but I've still seen quite a bit of fun. My best moment so far has to be one fight with a player pirate in Pelille. I had only a civillian gatling pulse laser fitted (needed to go to stacmon to get bigger guns) on my cruiser, and he was pounding me with his. Luckilly for me, some sort of distance bug kicked in, making his heavy neutron blasters miss me even though we were 1500m apart.after 10 minutes of this, he started nagging me on the chat about "what the f*** is this?". I started shooting back at him, and we kept up that show for some time. A few bypassers came by to have a look, and started laughing at that pirate dude in local channel.
Tzuki Tsu	Posted - 2007.05.05 19:36:00 - [297] Happy Birthday EVE, Congrats to all you mental folk at CCP The day I finished all my Learning Skills and started on my flying skills . Still waiting for the patch where we can up all our stats another 5 pts. but wait until I've got another skill category with 5.3M skill points in it.
Janus Thor	Posted - 2007.05.05 19:39:00 - [298] Happy birthday Eve. I believe my most memorable moment to be my first tutorial mission in space. I misunderstood my orders, and tried to blow up a concorde ship, i couldn¦t understand why i couldn¦t undock afterwards because i repetedly kept being blown up by concorde But then another player convoed me and helped me through my first mistake, and for me that is what Eve is all about, a very positive experience

It's hardly suprising that eve has lated 4 years, it's not as though there was much deccent competition out there . Soooo many memories, I supposed my first bad one was getting killed many years ago when you used to warp in at random points, I got ganked doing a mission, always hated missions after that point Best mo' was getting my first bill after 3 years in the game, it went in 2 days, lol. Here's to another 4 years and beyond. Cheers!
Kuseka Adama Gallente WOLFPACK DELTA	Posted - 2007.05.05 19:58:00 - [303] I wish i could say my most memorable moment was a good one. I was through with EF-1 and was getting my stuff out of that area of space. Last cargo run out. Held at the time my most valuable position a faction frigate a friend had built. Easily 60 mill+ in empire. At the finish line of N-rael i ran into an RA camp. I lost in total probably over 80 million in cargo and a clone. There was one moment of satisfaction however. When i got the kill mail i found the Dramiel was destroyed with the itty 3. At that point not much mattered to me besides that ships fate. I am just glad no one else got to use it. On the other hand this has been one very fun game and i am with this payment cycle shifting to a 3 month system. This game rocks!

Posted - 2007.05.05 19:58:00 - [304] been here a long long time, most memorable time i guess was when i had been saving for months to buy me one or two cruisers, got me a moa and a blackbird and omfg they made me smile with pride :) Next thing i know im warping in to a belt in nonni to see a raven pilot warping out, i convo him telling him hes left a can here and then he begins asking me if id like a present because hes decided hes quitting the game. Opens the trade window and woah....there she is the raven :D this was at the time of BS's being some of the most rarest ships around and this ship became our corp (Manic Securities) flag ship for quite some days. However i eventually died in it in EC-P8R to a dread npc when i switched my computer off in fight against this npc hoping id survive lmao dont do it agen!!
Bekka Jae Gallente Eve University Ivy League	Posted - 2007.05.05 20:02:00 - [305] Even though I've got only just about four months in, I've got two most memorables: The Game One: In my first Myrmidon, flying one of my first Level 3 missions, getting totally surprised by a sudden incoming wave of NPC pirates. When I made it out with just 3% structure left, I realized two things: 1. That I'd never, ever, forget to fully read the mission description again. 2. That I had to start breathing again. The People One: It seems that not a week, or sometimes even a day, goes by that I don't meet yet another cool person who plays this game, regardless of whether I happen to agree or disagree with them on game-related issues. To me, that speaks volumes about the true character of this game and why it's as beloved as it is by those who play it. Happy 4th EVE, and here's to many, many, more!

Xydonus Xavior	Posted - 2007.05.05 20:07:00 - [307] Edited by: Xydonus Xavior on 05/05/2007 20:03:59 What I remember most about EVE, was when I was doing a rescue operation with two corp members from an old corp I used to be in to save a fellow corp member who was being camped by the enemy outside a station in Jita. We all jumped in at the same time and manage to scare of the enemy, giving enough time for our corp mate to get out and head back to our HQ. But it wasn't over. When I left Jita, and into the next system, I decided to relax a bit and leave it on autopilot. I was on my own in my Hyperion and my two corp mates where about 2 to 3 jumps away. Thats when I got attacked, blissfully unaware of what was going on. Before I knew it, my ship's power was being drained and I was being warp jammed. I called for help, my two corp mates where now about 4 or so jumps away, but where coming to my aid. At that time, just before they where about to jump to my aid, my ships shields was gone, and all I had left was about 70% of hull. So I decided to set the self distruct. Next thing my corp members jump in and with a few concentrated shots, blew up the enemy ship and pod-killed the sucker. At that moment, my best guess was that the self distruct was at least 10 seconds, and I had about 50% left of hull. So I quickly docked to prevent the ship from being destroyed. Despite some tactical errors I made, I'v learned from those mistakes and I treasure that moment in EVE because it was tense and fun at the same time.
Sam UriHsc	Posted - 2007.05.05 20:11:00 - [308] My most memorable even was taking a screen shot of a 25 ship Evolution gang mining Veldspar in the empire just prior to the release of Capitol ships - it confirmed everything we have always know about Evolution (now BoB) - carebears at heart, one and all.
Jarra Gallente Reikoku	Posted - 2007.05.05 20:13:00 - [309] Happy Birthday to EVE and props for ccp for ongoing work :) A friend of mine nagged me for a week after the game came out to buy and play the game :) Im thankful for that Nagging week as ive been playing for these years since :) Most memorable event....exploring 0.8 and lower and getting popped in a 0.5 belt in a couple of tristans heart racing trying to survive the rats. Tornsoul mentioned the Cfs - Dsma days wich sparked some memories as well hehe I remember a sunday morning in 04 in those days setting up a med warp bubble near tpar...the electricity went out on the house I lived in at that time...as soon as the lights went out i started to make calls to friends who played eve...to kill the rats who were at the gate,as my apoc was stuck in. Woke up a friend who had been partying the night before....."dude its a game what the f*** is wrong with you" Needless to say my apoc went bye bye to some 20k rats :) Keep up the good work :) ---------------------------

He also had a few mo0 Corp friends with him, namely two Blackbirds. I have never turned a ship arouind so fast and ran away as I did that day. A few time I have fought mo0 and I am pleased to say that I never lost a ship to them. ----------- Event Actor Quote: CCP Hammerhead > I need a GM to bring me some coffee FlashMan> File a petition.

M4sterm1nd DarkStar 1 GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.05.05 20:36:00 - [316] Most memorable.....hmmmm. My first pos, my first roids, my first hulk... so many things. Alas it is the painful and the shocking that branded the deepest. Manas and Romble (since thrown out, to Eve Uni's credit) ganged up and ejected me from Eve Uni without so much as a memo to the corp, their fellow directors, or even the CEO. Luckily their misbehaviour brought me to Darkstar 1, a corp that has brought me no end of pride and good times. *Rubidium in a pool. BE THERE!*

My most memerable time was going on a mission that sent me and my ibis into low sec and getting the fast ticket back. If it ere not for a few people that explaind things to me I probably would have droped the game, now I get juiced to go into lowsec, 0.0 dont hold the same thrill, but low sec has been great.

Plutonian Eve University Ivy League	Posted - 2007.05.05 21:05:00 - [322] Happy Birthday Eve. Best moment: Slugging it out in 0.0, defending our system. I'm the wing commander of 50 heavy damage dealers. We've taken out most of their battleships, but the enemy has frontlined their carriers, and we're getting hammered as our EW support drops like flies. I'm in the middle of a bubble when I lose my ship, and am slow-boating out so I can warp my pod away. Suddenly the FC informs us he's been podded, and turns command over to me as I'm the only WC left on the field. And I get to say The Words. Those fateful words I've been waiting my entire life to say: "This is Plutonian! I am assuming command of the fleet." It was a defining moment, only slightly spoiled by what quickly appeared in gang chat: "Uh. Pluto's in his POD!" No way was I going to miss an opportunity like this simply for the lack of a ship. I ignored such comments and began sorting and calling targets until our force was left with no choice but to flee. And only after the battle realized I must have pressed the CTRL button (and not my assigned TS key) in my excitement... because no one heard The Words. Well, I've waited 39 years... maybe next time.

Hellcab	Posted - 2007.05.05 21:14:00 - [324] Well, for me, it had to be after about 9 months of playing when someone told me I could buy Skillbooks to fly stuff better than the Ibis I thought I was stuck with. I've never looked back. oh yeah, and being a double agent in BoB, IRON and affiliates and.. Core Complexion but trying to keep it fair with as much carnage as possible and plot twists as kooky as 'British Intelligence' Starring Boris Karloff.
Laird Fix Holding Company Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2007.05.05 21:15:00 - [325] Crumbs, Has it really been 4 years? I;ve been hear since Eve day 1, wee bit earlier than that. As for memories, mostly good, some scream at monitor moments when the ole ship goes boom :) I rememeber hopping in-game that evening, Getting the char created then flying into low sec space to rendezvous with Hadean Drive Yards for where we were setting up shop. Memory is rusty on the system name (Overkill prolly could dig it up) but then started off with Ninja mining Arkanor along with Dr Seuss.

Pacala Gallente AirHawk Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.05 21:39:00 - [330] Thank you for Eve***. Fondest memories... Betatesting the game. You guys kept making it sooooo much better every damn time. Ninja mining for Omber in Balle to buy my first Navitas. Pirating NPC convoys for Harvester mining drones. Visiting New Eden in my Punisher and taking a screenie of the EVE gate. I do have to say that my favourite experience was the Crielere Event where Doc Brown popped Fatal. I remember the Solar Winds gang that came in and tried to keep the station alive. I had never seen a corp field a 100-person gang. It was amazing to see all those players join in and fight together for an event that would change the EVE universe. It was really cool to see how closely people watched the events in the game. Thank you for everyting so far and keep it up. __________________________________________________ I haven't needed a signature for 4 years. ccp = cccp?** discuss

Krato'kir	Posted - 2007.05.05 21:40:00 - [331] Woohoo...4 years of consant bugs-lag-brain malnutrition and fun!!! My most memorable moment was my first podding... Around a year and a half ago, on a previous dead character i used to be a bounty hunter i liked to fly a Jaguar(very good ship) So i warped in to a belt on low sec...nothing happened the first minutes...but it was too quiet...so suddenly...something starts uncloaking, i look at my overview...a pirate of -5 stat flashing red with a skull and a 10 million bounty, in a Stealth bomber Manticore. I locked him, webbed and warp scrambled him and destroyed him before he could do anything...The poor bastard didnt even notice the fast he died...After that i webbed and warp jammed his pod and as a joke i ransomed him, but he didnt pay...so all i did was slip my finger from F1 to F4.. Guess what...the bastard had some friends...they came in the belt and my interior care told me to warp out and not enter low sec in the next 2 weeks. So that was my one of my most memorable moment in EVE. I also was killed once by a gang of 16BS and 4CS...Guess who..M-D-K HAPPY 4th YEAR EVE
Don Tiberon The Home Depot	Posted - 2007.05.05 21:43:00 - [332] Happy b-day eve I would say one of the best memories i have was a pvp op in which i was part of back in the day with there was still a curse alliance. The op entailed several battleships cruisers and a few frigs including one heron. We locked down the poor sole who would become the first victim of many that night for the heron. We had many many laughs over that episode. who would of thunk it that a heron would be part of an op to kill.
Xopher	Posted - 2007.05.05 21:48:00 - [333] Well Done CCP this is what elite was supposed to be My best moment was coming home from work and finding a APOC in my hanger now lets see what the next 4 years bring

Imiarr Timshae Roid Vandals Free Trade Zone.	Posted - 2007.05.05 22:02:00 - [335] I do not know why i am posting this, no-one is going to read it. Happy Birthday Eve. I regret not playing from the start, I did not have the internet then, but I kept re-reading the articles about it in my PC Gamer magazines, I kept looking at the pictures and dreaming. I finally began playing, when PC gamer offered a free 14day trial. I've been playing just over two years now. For every player in Eve, there is one pilot who is truely dear to them, the first person they meet in the game and truely click with. If its a fellow miner who warps to your belt, a mission runner who asks for help, or a pirate who you get on well with. I met mine, we made ISK, and we made great plans, of arkonor, and mercoxit, and battleships and stations. The most memorable moment of my Eve life was about 30 days after I had last spoken to him, when I finally realised he was not going to log back on. He has been in my addressbook for two years. Red light. Always, red light. -Imiarr-
MrR9	Posted - 2007.05.05 22:02:00 - [336] My Most memorable event would have to be when i lost my hulk due to stupidity on both sides. mine mostely. i lost my hulk plus 900 mil of value in its cargo bringing it to 0.0 to friendlies. spent soo long to get my first hulk, my dream my passion to get it and i finally did. then 3 days (yes just 3 days) after spending 900 mil isk BOOM! i was rdy to quit eve but im still here. i often wonder why i play eve and think of quitting. but for some reason, im still here and think i will be for along time to come. not sure wut it is but something has me by my genitalia and has a good grip on them. damn u CCP damn you. at the same time i love you guys. but srsly damn you. i fk'n love this game! some body touch me...
Utani Amarr Cake Addicts Anonymous	Posted - 2007.05.05 22:02:00 - [337] Edited by: Utani on 05/05/2007 22:00:33 My first memorable moment was was my first battle fighting a Raven in a Maller. Luckily my corp mate had jammed him down but he was firing fof missiles which seemed to come my way The target managed to escape that fight but I ran into him solo at a gate, Maller vs raven and he put me into hull before I got away. I then warped to a station waiting for him to warp in and I docked when he did. I started frantically calling for help in corp chat not realising that I was typing into local. The target was nice enough to point out my mistake to me. Doh Thanks CCP for a great game and here's to another 4 years
Augin Soric	Posted - 2007.05.05 22:09:00 - [338] Happy 4th Birthday EVE! Thanks to CCP for the greatest and most unique game (If not MMO) that ever graced this earth. I've only been on since Septembre of last year, but I would have to say my most enjoyed moment so far has got to be the first Lowsec mission I did with some veteran players I'd never met before. I figured I might as well, as they were a bunch of really nice guys. It started fine, I was in a Jaguar and the other 4 players were in a mixture of Battleships and Command Ships. When we finished the mission, we decided to head back to the local station for repairs, re-armament and to enjoy our loot. However, there was a group of pirate players waiting outside (Around 4-5, and it was the only station in the system). Most of us had docked already, but just in case, the other guys in my group started fitting in case they decided to take us on. This was also the first time I learned anything about PVP in EVE. They had me assigned as a "Tackler", and told me what I needed to do. Seemed easy enough. We started to launch from the station, and before I knew it Missiles and energy blasts were carving through space all around us. I picked a juicy looking ship (A Raven if I remember correctly) and Did what they told me...Warp Scrambled, Webbified, and a little Pew-Pew just for laughs. My group concentrated on this one, and chewed through him in no time. It was the first time I saw a Battleship explode that close. The whole time I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest. With that, I kept doing what Ion told me...Get up close, orbit, and activate the modules they had given me. We took another two down before they started to retreat, and in the chaos we got another one. When i looked around, I saw that we all had taken a lot of damage, but none of the guys I was with lost a ship. I didn't know how good these guys were until now, and I had a newfound respect for adept PvP players in EVE. Of course, we celebrated our victory while looting the wrecks...One of the players that attacked us seemed incredibly irritated at his destruction, but the other two that chatted with us were very friendly. This was my first ever PvP experience, group fight, and also the first time I witnessed how truly awesome this game really is. It was the best day of my life in EVE.
Femaref Caldari For my sweet Revenge	Posted - 2007.05.05 22:11:00 - [339] I think, joining Veritas Immortalis. The whole german wildlands how we called it... waves to old friends Second, fighting with a myrmidon vs. 3x Thorax and one Rupture. They wiped 7 from my 10 men gang. Hell of a fight.

BH HologramPratt Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2007.05.05 22:16:00 - [340] 4 years!! omg, what happened to 3 years? i mean, it was only, uh, hmm, wow, time flies huh :} Not sure if this was my best moment or not, but it's certainly something i'll remember for a long time. I was in a player corp, not two/three weeks into the game, flying and trying to osprey mine in a 0.4, probably only there because i didn't know the dangers. Anyway, some other new guy comes into the belt the two of us are mining, my mate scarpers and i'm left there thinking, hmm, he's new too, my single assault launcher will see him off. Needless to say as he sat there warp scramming me, all i could do was try and navigate the roids blocking my path. I assploded, but the next day when he tried the same thing, i heard reports in local of some rescue or something weird, only seconds later with me boosting my shields, these two huge ships entered the belt, a battlecruiser class warship accompanied by this awesome battleship, things i could only dream about flying, they absolutely decimated this pirate that was trying to kill me. It was the weirdest feeling seeing these massive ships (to me) appear just when i needed them and save the day :) I later joined that corp and it set me up for the rest of my eve experience, a most enjoyable one i have to say. PS they looked bigger because default zoom wasn't so far out and you cuold zoom in all the way on ships back then (yes it's been bug reported ;) )


Serj Darek Minmatar Mentally Unstable Enterprises	Posted - 2007.05.05 22:17:00 - [341] Happy birthday! Thanks for stealing my sparetime for over 3 years and 5 months! Keep up the First!
Neesa Corrinne Black Watch Legionnaires	Posted - 2007.05.05 22:20:00 - [342] No singular moment stands out as "best" but I do have a couple memorable ones. Taking on a Tau Ceti Taranis in my Claw 1v1 and finally popping it when I was down to 25% hull left. Taking on 20 mixed Sylph ships with a 9 man gang and pwning 2 of their Battleships and an assortment of smaller ships without taking any losses. Breaking 1 Billion ISK for the first time. Finally getting an agent offer for a Fleet Tempest that I had mission *****d for two months to get. Flying a Vagabond for the first time. What a rush. Flying a Sleipnir for the first time. Oh the power!! And finally... fighting for the freedom of the Minmatar race. It's wonderful being a terrorist! Happy B-Day CCP and thanks for 1.5 great years so far. As long as you put as much effort into the WoD game as you've put into EVE, you'll have me as a customer for a long time yet. Neesa
Del Narveux Obsidian Angels Enterprises	Posted - 2007.05.05 22:25:00 - [343] Hmm...I joined like a year after eve started so that makes me being here, what, 3 years? Damn Im gonna get alzhiemers or something from this old age... Anyway, most memorable event for me would have to be that time I wasted a taranis with an osprey, back when I was living in Delve with Exuro. Dont think anyone saw that one coming. _________________ [SAK] Alumnus--And Proud Of It! -- aka Cpt Bogus Is that my torped sig cloaking your base?

ATOM ANT	Posted - 2007.05.05 22:27:00 - [344] The most memorable time for me was when I joined EVE. It was a terrible case of desperation. Earth And Beyond had shut down and it was disaster. I tried numerous games. Most of which, were as dry and as usless as a witches fart in january. Dark and Light was a good candidate but it took so long to be released that we gave up on it. I dont remember who put me on to EvE but i think it was someone from Balistic mystix. Anyways, long story short, I'm still playing eve and enjoying it. Atom-Ant CEO Trojan Ink. :-)
T'al Norbulk	Posted - 2007.05.05 22:28:00 - [345] Happy B-Day EVE. I'm looking forward to the next four. I've only been playing for a few months, but the most exiting memory was having four Kestrels killed in a row in an attempt to beat the Worlds Collide.
Einar Matveinen Gallente Saisio Fleet Systems	Posted - 2007.05.05 22:32:00 - [346] Happy birthday EvE My most memorable moments: My first day in EvE, i warped to all planets, moons and to the star of my birth system, all distances in the solar system are at a real scale!!! First time i have a billion ISK... First time i flew a covert ops, an arazu, a lachesis, a megathron, a hulk, a transport ship... First time i went to 0.0 space My first kill ...all those moments will be lost in time...like tears in rain... --

Three Blackbirds against one apoc...was a good fight even though we got petitioned for griefing. GM and us had a good laugh after that. Or the epic flight of torpedoe armed kessi's making one pass at a domi....those were the days. Happy Birthday Eve-Online...its been fun Free-form Professions, ensure no limetations on professions.

Andreus Ixiris Gallente Luna Rossa Corporation The Guardian Coalition	Posted - 2007.05.05 22:38:00 - [349] Taking on a swarm of Gistii cruisers and battleships in my Drake, killing every single one, and not once did my shields drop beneath 40%.
DreadPirate Ryu	Posted - 2007.05.05 22:40:00 - [350] First off: Happy 4th birthday EVE! After all this time, it's still growing, getting a larger player base, and being a unique MMOG in this world saturated with Fantasy MMOGs. As for most memorable experiences, I have several, although not all of them are nice ones :) Firing missiles for the first time, and falling in love with them. Flying around in a Rifter, taking on 85k cruiser rats thinking they are the hardest thing in the world. Finding a Shadow Serpentis spawn, and ogling the huge amount of bounty it was worth (I think it was only around 100k). Getting a Local Hull Conversion Cargo Expander, and finding out how much it was worth (35mil). Transporting the previously mentioned Cargo Expander, and losing it to a sniping BS on a gate. Realizing I did all that while I was on the TRIAL period. Being utterly annihilated in a Caracal by a pirate in a Rifter. Going into 0.0 space the first time, and killing BS rats in a Caracal. My first Drake (which I subsequently lost 3-4 hours later). Pulling a Leeroy Jenkins on a gate camp with a huge bubble, BSes, the works, while screaming "LEEROY JENKINS" in local....in a pod :) (they almost let me through too). And of course, my first pirate kill, a person mining in a Caracal, took them out with my trusty Rifter. It hasn't even been a year and I already have these memories, and more. Looking forward to many more memorable experiences, like the new graphics engine, and walking in stations. The day we get walking in stations, I think is the day that we're going to have 30k+ people on the server at once, all docked

ElweSingollo Starlancers Forces of Freedom	Posted - 2007.05.05 22:41:00 - [351] Happy birthday eve unfortunately for me never joined at the start but go onboard just over 2 years ago and a rollercoaster ride that has been for me.... best moment and please forgive me mods for posting the heavily edite KM below but it kickstarted eve for me and was my first involvement on a b/ship kill. 200#.##.## ##:## Victim: Trey Azagthoth Alliance: None Corp: Arcane Frankologies Destroyed: Megathron System: Istodard Security: 0.3 Involved parties: Name: T'Rana Name: ElweSingollo (laid the final blow) Name: ElHofi Name: Corniz Name: Haceldema Name: DimiTrip So I suppose trey could in a sense take credit for the fact I am still playing the game..... heres hoping for another 4 years guys.

Jimbob McKracken Caldari The Tidemark Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.05.05 22:47:00 - [353] My memorable moment ?? Opening my PC Gamer magazine and reading an article, well more of a story, of stealth, deception and grand planning. A story that I barely believed to be true as it sounded like a plot from a SCI-FI film. The story was Guding Hand Social Clubs attack/infiltration of Ubiqua Seraph. It was a story so amazing it made me go and find this game - this amazing game - So thankyou CCP for giving us the tools to make such amazing stories - and thankyou GHSC and Istvaan Shogatsuu for showing us how to weave such unbelievable stories. Lub you CCP !!!!!
Debbie Downer	Posted - 2007.05.05 22:50:00 - [354] Most memorable event; CCP knowing about cheating developers and failing to sufficiently act upon that knowledge until a member of the community brought this matter to public attention.
Jonathos	Posted - 2007.05.05 22:51:00 - [355] I've done a lot of things in EVE, but I have to sat my most memorable would be undocking for the first time and seeing all the other ships outside the station. Considering I didn't even know how to get back into the station at that point, I was just in awe of the environment I was floating in.
Hauler's Gal	Posted - 2007.05.05 22:58:00 - [356] Originally by: Roshan longshot Or the epic flight of torpedoe armed kessi's making one pass at a domi....those were the days. Oh man the memories of those kessies suiciding ships at gates...lol My best memory...I think I have 2 really. First off the way people came together for that player that died (was it black lotus clan or something ?) - shows that the people that play this game have a bit of integrity despite all the ganking that goes on in working hours... And every time I come back from Iraq I log into the game and think 'aww hell, why do they always make all the big changes and offer me T2 bpo's on the lottery when I go away?' - a bit of an irony thing going on there but it's not lost on me at times. Lets have some more years of the fun and keep the 'smackdown' (couldn't resist sorry) P.S. Imagine if they had citadel torps when you could fit any missile into any launcher ! Kessies suiciding battleships and freighters
Bootleg Greg	Posted - 2007.05.05 23:00:00 - [357] alt, my main Bologne Pants is no longer active My most memorable moment was CA and FOE, biggest pirate alliances when there was only 5k ppl online at peak time, did what we want, where we wanted, when we wanted. Other than that, i have to say the fleet fight outside Obe station where FOE was outnumbered and still won....miss the days when 90% of the alliance participated in ops every day.

Elmo Pug Forum Moderator Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2007.05.05 23:06:00 - [358] My favorite moment would have to be the time that I was flying with two of my corpmates in Assault Frigs in 0.0, looking for some trouble. We took five minutes to camp a gateway system when suddenly 20 people jumped through. We warped out to another gate and jumped away, knowing the 20 had followed us to the gate. Apparently they were mostly concerned with shooing us away, as they didn't follow through the gate. Tired and frustrated at having roamed for a couple hours with no action, I asked my corpmates what they wanted to do. One of them said "Well, I could jump in there and see how many corpses I could get..." After we all laughed, I said "Fine, get me 20 corpses." Next thing I know I see the gate fire and he says "Okay." Totally shocked, the two of us that were left had no choice but to go back him up. In the end, we took down three interceptors, two cruisers and a destroyer, for the loss of only one of our assault frigs. We have laughed about that ever since.

Leviathan9 Gallente Royal Hiigaran Navy	Posted - 2007.05.05 23:08:00 - [359] Most memorable event?

charoks labrat	Posted - 2007.05.05 23:18:00 - [361] Maybe it was the first time I hit someone with 7 heavy missles for a total of .7 damage. Or the time I was in empire space and had to watch my back due to someone declairing war on every corp in game. Could have been when I had first started and was playing in a corp with 3 other new guys and got deced by a 20 mill sp guy saying I had to pay him some billion isk to stop the war. Oh the time I sent light drones after a BC and he outran them, that was fun. Err wait no thats why I quit the game.
Manticore PL Amarr FireTech TALIONIS ALLIANCE	Posted - 2007.05.05 23:18:00 - [362] I am pretty young player, but I have some things I will remember forever. Wining my first solo fight, going on the first fleet op, first POS kill, first carrier kill. More than half of my time in Eve I spent in 0.0 space and I love it. I hope that Eve will evolue more and more, as It was during that past 4 years.
Jebuzz	Posted - 2007.05.05 23:19:00 - [363] My most memerorable moment was discoveing that yes i can fit a cloaking device on a hauler
Gungankllr Caldari STK Scientific Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.05.05 23:19:00 - [364] Most memorable moment: Hearing about the Serpentis Titan in a RP channel, coordinating two alliances into a gang to go after it. Setting up a warp in point with a Raptor behind the Serpentis Vindicator fleet, to get smoked by a 425 II. As far as I know, I took the first 425 II in the face on Tranquility. Spent the next 10 hours in 13 different ships attacking the titan and fighting off everybody else that was trying to save it. oh, and attacking it in an Ibis after I ran out of isk. Hands down, best time I have ever had in Eve, or any video game for that matter.
Andrei Kroutchenkov	Posted - 2007.05.05 23:25:00 - [365] I think one of the most memorable moment I had was when I first warped to 0 meters. Oh my God, that was so great ! At that time, I was a hauler and it was a pain to go through 50 systems warping at 12 km ! Happy birthday to all of you !

Terekhov	Posted - 2007.05.05 23:29:00 - [366] Wooow, 4 years of Eve being here and I've been here in Eve for little over half of that! Where does the time go?! I keep this up and I'll have to get the character portrait changed to have grey hair!!!! I have so many different awesome memories of Eve it isn't even funny. The first time I saw it in a friend's room I was like "Is this a single player game?" He told me "No" of course but I couldn't believe it until I looked it up! I installed the trial that night and I've been playing ever since! Getting my first cruiser, making my first set of BPCs, mining my first VELDSPAR (hey Chribba, got any tips on Veld mining? ), killing my first NPC, getting podded for the first time (btw YOU ARE STILL ON MY TO BE PODDED LIST...breathe in, breathe out...wooooosaaaaah....woooooooooosaaaaaaaaah...be calm like the wind....) Getting accepted into ISD and helping the players is another one of my major bright spots! I know it sounds cheesy but it isn't! Brie or gouda sounds cheesy . Honestly though, being there in the help channels and answering questions is fun and it helps to get new players accustomed to Eve so we have more people to "pew pew" and mine with! Besides, some of the stuff you all ask and say is hilarious! And the ISD family is awesome! Uncle Wrangler and Mama Kieron are the best alter-parents one could ask for! Probably though, the TOP, TOP moments were FanFest 2006 and GDC 2007. The reasons? I got to meet the people who made this awesome game! TomB, Oveur, Kieron, Macayle, Wrangler, CoffeeCup, MajorGormour, and all the rest too numerous to mention! Seeing the passion they have for the game and how much they love the players was just...inspiring is the only word I have for it! And being at GDC 2007 was amazing as well and if you weren't there for the party at the Glas Kat....you were missing out! I hope everyone else has just as much fun as we have here and I look forward to talking with every one of you, either online or at FanFest! HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVE!!!!!!!!!! Its the FEARSOME FOURS!!!

EVE made me remember those days and eagerness to play and enjoy wasts of space. I'm only sorry that I didn't came earlier. Thank you CCP for fulfilling childhood dreams. For the years to come HAPPY Birthday
Montague Snyde Gallente Spaced Cowboys	Posted - 2007.05.05 23:44:00 - [368] Happy Birthday Eve Wow 4 years, I remember it in the beginning, it was lovely, it was gorgeous, it was.... beyond words... and like a fool I left to pursue other things. Then I came back and it was still a beautifully balanced game... And this time I stayed... this time I learned how to play well. Most memorable bad event... Coming out of 0.0 after buying a Covetor BPO and Retreiver BPO in a Buzzard and warping straight into a gate camp... The pain ... the loss...Oh well. Good event... taking down an Estarte with the help of another player in a cruiser and me in a Manticore. Now that was a tough fight. Thanks for the year of nearly non-stop playing... Oh by the way who do I send the bill to for losing my business
Gamajan	Posted - 2007.05.05 23:52:00 - [369] Yay! Happy birthday! :P

joe1	Posted - 2007.05.06 00:14:00 - [371] most memorable moment ? I had a friend commit suicide IRL while we were playing one night a couple years back . Also joined a corp and got robbed blind , still love the game tho.
Matrix Aran Shadows of the Dead Aftermath Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.06 00:23:00 - [372] Oh god, you want me to pick just one? Oh well, if I had to pick one I woud say it was when me and a friend were jumping back up to Venal from empire in interceptors and we jumped into a huge fleet battle. We joined in and started popping support left right and center. Probably the most lag free enjoyable fleet battle I've ever been in. ----
Gunship Amarr FATAL REVELATIONS FATAL Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.06 00:30:00 - [373] 4 years, Getting my Omen crusier was quite someting I could not belive the size of that thing compare to my frigate. Headding out into CA space with our corp and being escorted past U-Q. Taking over target calling in a major CA/SA battle in OSHT, battle must have lasted a good 30-60 minutes. Building the FATAL outpost in YM-, a lot of work for a bunch of pvpers and the battles that followed in the system, including my best "tackle" ever of Helen's MOM (Thanks god that smartbomb only hit me once). but the best bits has been meeting up with corp members in R/L and have lots of fun Happy birthday EVE So you want to join us?
Thulion	Posted - 2007.05.06 00:35:00 - [374] My fondest memory was one christmas day when the air was bitter and cold I found a sweet surprise in my hangar. It fired snowballs that were bigger than my head. What fun was had that day. But Onoes!!!! I can't tell which puddle is bigger the one from my tears or the one from the snowballs...
Sallimraen Paladin Imperium Curatores Veritatis Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.06 00:46:00 - [375] Most memorable moment: Ratting with a group of corpmates in 0.0 space, and then finding out we were well withing BoB territory. They had the system locked down very well, so we had to log out. The next day, one of my buddies came in a Condor to scout ahead, while I escaped in my Drake. We were chased by at least three separate groups of pirates, and managed to actually jump into systems exactly as they were jumping into the ones we were just in. My heart was pounding the entire trip, something like 11 jumps. _____________________ Faithful Khaldari.

Rizmordan Hillgotlieb Gallente Body Count Inc. Mercenary Coalition	Posted - 2007.05.06 01:18:00 - [377] I miss a few things about EVE of 3-4 years ago. EVE today is amazing. I would have never thought that we would be settled in 0.0. 1 - Jade and Ragnor on the forums in the fall/winter of 2003... Muppet and Asshat has not been used with the same eloquence since. 2 - This thread and the subsequent Archain video started my path down the darkside of making EVE comedy videos. Viceroy you are missed. 3 - Pirates, real deal, warp scram and ransom pirates. I miss corps like m0o and SPVD. 4 - The EVE Haiku Thread that was 19 pages before the "evil" community manager Pann locked it on us

Galen Silas Gallente Lucky Hydra Corp SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.06 01:54:00 - [379] I would have to say that almost every moment in EVE is a good one, There is usually always something different about what's going on. Although if I must point out something I really like about EVE would have to be the in depth part of it, I have never played another game as complex, vast, and stimulating than EVE. I can't count all the things there is to do, and thats pretty hard to say about a video game, usually there is a point where everything turns simple but not here. All the stuff in the game needs to be appreciated, especially with the constant changing storyline. But on a different note... when are the new ship skins coming out? NIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!
HowIMineFish	Posted - 2007.05.06 01:55:00 - [380] Most memorable moment... Back when I was an ubernoob years ago and the old Xetic and Curse alliances existed/were going kinda strong I decided to go exploring. Thinking I knew what awaited me I fit a Vigil with nanofibers and a 1mn MicroWarpDrive I... and a single 125mm gatling autocannon. Loaded the thing with ammo and wisely didnt put any spare ammo in my hold. Left for Curse space and ended up getting pretty far in there. Got to this gate with some kind of secure can sign anchored 120km off saying something about entering a Curse capital system. Sped my way all the way to the can and started shooting it with my 125mm, when some random dude in a Raven passed by and saw me, opened fire so I ran. So I'm running away, full adrenaline rush, wondering if they're chasing me. Figured they were since there was this one guy who kept appearing in local as I sped towards HED-GP (I think it was HED anyway). I get to that system and there's a crapton of locals, so I hesitate and sure enough, some CA dude in a tackler frig makes a run for me so I make a blind warp for highsec. I enter the grid to see a HUGE Xetic gatecamp. I just about crap my pants when one of them convos me and starts telling me I can go through, they won't hurt me, etc... when a largish group of CA that apparently had been giving me chase came in right behind me. Before I knew it I was a noob in a frigate stuck in the middle of a fleet battle. So I did what any intelligent, mentally stable individual would commence doing: dodging smartbombing domis and area effect torpedo explosions to loot cans from exploding ships. Ended up making my first million from that. Good times :)

Long live the fights in U-QVWD and HED-GP. Ahhhhhhh those were the good times, I miss them. After three years I still love to play this game, although I feel bad for new people and all the skills. saddest day in EVE by far is when my sec rating went positive..(but not anymore)......giggles

dilan	Posted - 2007.05.06 02:28:00 - [386] Well, Back in the Day when I started with eve, I remember Starting out as a miner, All Ore Types was in every system from 0.3 to 0.0, The Roids was as big as the stations you see now, Mining in a frigate was not fun then, this does not help Now, as it is alot easyer. too Start out. When I started, we had all of 5K Skills and we worked hard too get the skills we needed then, Not like now, Its pretty much handed out too new starters now, It took ages too get your character trained, Which made you value the character more. Now everythink is so easy for new starters that they do not value it, like some of the older guys that put all the effort in. I remember It took me ages too miner and build my thorex, Thorex and vexor was the only gallente ships in crusiers that was about, no inceptors or Cov op and Carriers, we had about 15 ships across the board, Maybe less, I remember everyone was excited too get in a battleship, Battleship was the Titan of the Day, lol. When you had one of them or got in too one, New Patch and items come out, Not a big deal anymore. like everythink, lets go for the next best thing. As time when on and new patchs out, I think CCP Started too lose there way, over the years it got worst, Everythink was balanced and CCP Made sure they was working for the people that put them, where they are today. Now there doing it for the Money you pay. I still love the Game, But there are so many Things over looked now, that the game is losing Touch of what really matter, A Game is better in Quality, refer then quantiy. Eve lose it's touch, when it Valued the amount of ppl's it wanted in game, Refer then up holding what made the game in the first place. I still love the game, But I reakon it could be even better then it is now, The Game was addictive when I started playing, and it still is a bit now, But I am finding it's losing it's touch, with alot of high skilled and good friends made over the years, leaving because of the lack of understand and Money being the only Veiw CCP as then and still as now, Over valued players keeping them in a job. 4 years is along time too be playing one game day in and day out, But Eve as made me do that over the years, but I am just changing skills alot more then playing the game theses days, Too many Loop holes with in the game and everyone getting away with it, why ruining others game play, this was not done in begaining, because alot was done too balance it up, so everyone could enjoy the game and did. Now CCP just are not bothered, becasue as long as they have a job and we pay for the game. just nerf stuff that was fine too begain with, and boost stuff that does not need a boost. let everyone use exploits all over. If you want too ruin the game carry on with it. I am sure you will make it too 6 years, If ppl's do not get ****ed off with it by then, or Make the game great like when you first started. CCP It's up too you, too lead the way or keep letting the money fill your pocket too the game, just ends up like most, on the dog pile. Well thats my input and thoughs of the 4 years. as I started up soon after Eve started. So grow with them and seen the problems.

Matthias DuBastyra House Draconis	Posted - 2007.05.06 02:32:00 - [389] Congrats CCP! "Four" a job well done! However, on this day four years ago, I was still playing Everquest. It was about this time that I was becoming thoroughly desenchanted with it. I was logging on once, at most twice, a month only to run around and kill rats and then log off. It was quite disappointing. No one was around to help out the new player. It wouldn't be until December when I would be thumbing through a computer gaming magazine and I saw an ad for EVE that I would log onto the website and download the client. I was completely blown out of the water. I remember the first few days never leaving the system. I remember losing my way and not knowing how to get back. I remember my confusion of buying something and not realizing that it isn't in my hanger but at the location I bought it at. LOL Those were fun times! But the best memory of all is the friendliness of the high sec areas. I logged in and was immediately welcomed and offered help. It was great! To this day, I have never regretted leaving Everquest and I have been on all this time. Never taken a break--never suspended my account. This game is da bomb!!! Love ya, CCP!!

I admit, I got a little bit stroppy with said piwate and I may have used a few choice words Needless to say, I learnt my lesson! Happy Birthday Eve, and happy birthday to all the 'day one' players celebrating their birthday too. hands out party poppers

Titas Agor TITANS OF PEACE	Posted - 2007.05.06 02:46:00 - [391] Most memorable moment... wow... that'd be a hard one for me... i would probably have to say would be the time that i spent in BWF with TBB alliance which is no more.... there was so many memories from the months that TBB held that area of geminate... defending against almost every top pirate faction that came marching through with their blobs trying to desbrately to weaken TBB's hold on that area in the region. It was an awsome time in EVE for SO many players, of old and new. Untill the mighty MC came back to turn things really upside down. Even tho i was never in TBB, i was part of the never ending coalition to attept to help deffend but failing badly lol... Lost a manticore to an MC Crow on one of the final days i think of the war, i can remember letting fly with a whole bunch of cruise missiles but coz he was going so damn fast, i did .1 damage for about 100k of traveling lol.... was hillarious but bad for me. Long Live TBB, for all what they did accomplish, and to everyone who fought, died, and live in BWF at that time..... my heart droped when i found out tbb were no more! THANK YOU CCP for giving me such entertainment on a different level in gamming. This is, and still is, the ONLY MMOG i play! ROCK ON!!!
Sardon	Posted - 2007.05.06 02:48:00 - [392] I started the game in its first month so I have seen all but a few days of the game so far. Large fleet battles are always memerable, the people you meet from all over the world are amazing, the point were you finally realize that even the pirates in the game are your neighbors in real life, but I guess for me the most significant one thing was early in the game I was on a trip out to Syndicate and jumped into EZA. I was flying a kestrel and I ran into hostile who was also in a kestrel we both imediatly attacked each other and the fight was on. We kept boosting sheilds and hammering each other and it was going to be a close one as we were going down at about the same amount. Then it happened both our ships went POP at the same time. We were left staring at each other in pods! It was to good. I died laughing and so did he. I want to send out a salute to all those I have podded and who have podded me in turn. Well done CCP this has been and continues to be the most engaging game ever. Thank You
Aurora Spacefarer	Posted - 2007.05.06 02:50:00 - [393] Happy B-day Eve I have been playing for 3.5 years I started (with my original account back when eve had only been out a few months my most memoreble moments hmm being the cause of FU getting attacked (and destroyed) by m0o have to rank pretty high :-) my charector was acused of allowing a leading m0o member into their aliance channel due to a disagreement out corp had had with Fade cause that m0o member was a old corpmate of mine (I was inocent of that though) well it turned out that that corp was against attacking FU due to a fact that the corp I was in was in FU after we got thrown from FU they where gone :-) I also remeber getting atacked by a joker member and living to tell the tale the first shiva expansion where we where able to use the agents we wanted and not just the one's we where refered to alot of good times Aurora

Thomas Maleficus Caldari Perkone	Posted - 2007.05.06 03:47:00 - [395] I haven't been with EVE all that time, but in the nearly a year I have been with EVE, my most memorable moment in EVE was the death of Karishal Muritor. Being an outsider (Caldari) in the freedom war, I scooped the corpse and belongings of Karishal Muritor after the Republic fleet detroyed his ship. The Defiants at first threatened to kill anyone who touched his body . It was a great time, being included in such a significant part of EVE history, they addressed me and asked me to watch over his body until they returned for it. I may have moved on from the Freedom war but it was still the most memorable time for me. Ushra'Khan and Defiants forever!!

AeolusWind Minmatar ISD STAR Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2007.05.06 03:47:00 - [396] As strange as it sounds, my most memorable moment slipped my mind at the time. HermanLivesInABucket- I don't know if you're a vet who was pulling my leg, or another ISD or just a truly enthusiastic new player. You were one of my first Meet and Greets and you made me shoot my beer, yes beer, out my nose. This one's for you herman, and I hope the space-pirates never got your treasure.

Lord Seth Amarr Black Nova Corp Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.05.06 04:10:00 - [397] My most memorable EVE moment was my first trip into 0.0. I had just joined some two-bit alliance and I was on the way back out after delivering a hauler full of tech 1 goodies and ammo for my new adventures in 0.0. On my adventure down, I was shot at, targeted, and chased by more blue people than I can count. I decided to hop into my Cyclon and take a different route back into Empire. During my adventure, I got lost, had no bookmarks, and was in a battle cruiser. I was so ****ed off and fed up from being targeted and shot at by blue people that I started to target and shoot at all of the blue people I saw. Needless to say that it only ended up being one and he screamed in local "Blah blah blah pilot, why are you shooting on me? We are in positive standings." At this point, my blood was rushing and my veins were pumping. My heart was hitting the space bar while I was cursing and acting like a jackass in local. I was being screamed at in alliance, in local, in teamspeak by the guys with me. I was screaming back at all of them. In the end, I lost my cyclon. I got poded by some evil dude. From that day forward for the next six months the thought of 0.0 made me sick and my hand would shake, thus making that the most memorable moment in Eve. Now that that has passed, I am now an experienced PVPer and have not lived in Empire for years.

Bigiboi The Forsakened Companions	Posted - 2007.05.06 04:38:00 - [399] Happy Birthday EVE-Online. EVE was my first MMO game and the only one i keep coming back too. My most memorable moment was killing a pirate in 0.2 space with my Dominix and him in his Raven. He thought i was mining then i swarmed him with my drones and Nos-sed him to death. Victory to the care bear that day.
Nexus6	Posted - 2007.05.06 05:08:00 - [400] Most memorable moment in eve back in 03 would be getting my first cruiser which lasted a mightly 30 mins when i was jumped by members of mo0 and m3g4 while tasting my first 0.0 xp. It was the first of many ships that i lost to them, one of the main reasons why its taken me til present day to venture back in to 0.0 space.

SithSnak3 Amarr Silent Guard FREGE Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.06 05:17:00 - [401] Happy, B'day EVE.

The pirates tried to ransom me but I had no money. I started smacking (oh the shame) and he left me with the imortal line: 'Say hello to your clone for me' Now i'm happily -10 and use that line whenever I ransom and they smack :) Oh man, that's like in The Last Crusade when whatshisface gives young indy his hat!

Ilfar Minmatar Manta Ice	Posted - 2007.05.06 07:24:00 - [408] My best moment was when I first logged in. I'd grabbed Eve because I wanted a game I could play with my new joystick with, and everyone knows space games are twitch-based right? I actually spent ten minutes or so learning how to work the controls and just staring at that lovely little non-symmetrical Reaper. Then it gave me my first roid to mine, and I was in love. I ended up selling the joystick to fund more Eve goodness ^_^ ----------------------- Press to test... click Release to detonate...
STHIRE7	Posted - 2007.05.06 07:34:00 - [409] Happy birthday CCP! Long life for CCP ¬ =) So..my most memorable thing is...strike in Jita about 1.2 years ago..when some corps drop tons of shuttles to cause great LAG :) Event was directed against some renames of corp or ally names.. From that event was screenshot named "GM's revenge", where about 30 Seraphims positioned by sphere teach "how life must be"
Danor Drekar	Posted - 2007.05.06 07:42:00 - [410] The most memorable event for me would be my first player kill, which was trapping and toasting an ore thief in empire. I was new and naive, so I was open can mining and he took my ore. However, he got greedy and came back for more...too bad for him I had refit in the meantime. I guess losing his industrial ship loaded with T2 and named modules to a rookie pilot made him angry; he came back hunting (unsucessfully) for my little Cormorant with a Megathron.

Morto MacLeod Amarr	Posted - 2007.05.06 07:42:00 - [411] Happy birthday EVE, great work CCP! The most memorable event in my eve-life is killing first dreadnought with my corpmates. My heart never pumped so quickly) And surely, i will never forget the moment i entered EVE for the first time live without hesitation. die without compunction.
Gabriel Karade Nulli-Secundus	Posted - 2007.05.06 07:55:00 - [412] The 26th February 2005, going into the early hours of the 27th. The night when FOE forces lead by ParMizan and a couple of the old Forsaken Empire guys crushed three enemy fleets in succession. The first Battle took place in Obe outside the DED station, vs. Xetic with MC mixing it up in there too. I've never seen so many cargo containers littering the battlefield. The second took place within an hour, just a jump up from C2X-M5 in Vale when an Exodus fleet challenged our space and was wiped out. The third happened immediatly afterwards in C2X-M5 when word came through of Xetic/Stain + MC reinforcements moving up from empire blocking our return (hell, it seemed everyone wanted a piece of FOE at the time, and thats how we liked it ). We setup 60km off the gate and introduced them to hell when they jumped through. P.S I think all of us still miss FOE ---------- Video - 'War-Machine'
Drahcir Nasom Independent Manufacturers	Posted - 2007.05.06 07:56:00 - [413] Four years ago on my 35th birthday (May 4th) a friend who had played the Beta bought me a copy of Eve as a birthday present. I waited a couple of days doing other things (I had a life back then) before signing up on May 7 and create this character. Four years later I am still friends with that person despite the fact I barely have a life beyond work and Eve these days. My most memorable event will always be the gathering we organised in Usi to remember a loyal corp member who died in real life, Sean Bowler Linkage Drahcir
Nidhoggr Gallente Norwegian Empire	Posted - 2007.05.06 08:03:00 - [414] You`ve made me in to a addict CCP. I will never be able to quit this game. Reason: Because this is still the most awesome game on the market, and has been for these 4 years. Congratulations and happy birthday Lingering back on the memory lane, my thoughts go to Krath Imperium and what we had back then...
ParCan angels of darkness LTD Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2007.05.06 08:03:00 - [415] Happy Birthday Eve. Congrats on 4 years..... My memories in eve are many, but I'll mention 2 here: The Building of the ISS Borealis Outpost in Pure Blind. Just the Shere fact that we as a corp in ISS managed to do it. The Taking of ISS Cassini after the BoB raids in EC-P8R. We got a message from Count Tasessine "BoB have given us an outpost, go buy 2 towers and get them Anchored in EC-P8R Tonight...." In Iteron V's myself and ace loaded up Jumped from Torrinos into EC to be met with a Huge Bubble camp, "we are going to die!" was our thoughts, but we got the towers acchored. 2nd run for fuel went fine. During the 3rd Run D2/IRON hit the BoB Camp - Pods, cans and bodies literally littered the screen but the towers went up. We flew in industrials through the middle of a massive battle totally unscathed. May eve bring me many more memories like this :) ParCan

NxT LeveL	Posted - 2007.05.06 08:12:00 - [416] Hi, My most memorable moment in eve would have to be the first time I joined a 0.0 alliance, and we went on our first P.O.S take-down. It was incredible I absoluetly loved it and since have done my best to learn pvp/fleet fighting. Imagine if you will your site of a cap ship and then you scroll across local immediate space and see many more of them. Thats what happened to me and it left me with eve stars in my eyes.

Bernman	Posted - 2007.05.06 09:22:00 - [419] I think my favourite EVE moment was actually prior to playing the game itself (not to say that I haven't had a lot of memorable events whilst playing the game). Memorable event: So I was at work and my mate (who had just started playing EVE) comes up to me and asks me if I'd heard of EVE. At the time I hadn't and could say that I was very happily sneaking around WOW with my level 30 rogue stabbing cows, boars and other unsuspecting creatures. Anyway he jumps on my work machine and loads up the EVE website and starts downloading the trailer. As we started to watch it my jaw hit the ground. My thoughts went as follows: OMG ... OMG ... AWESOME EXPLOSION ... OMG WTF HOW COOL ... BETTER THAN ELITE ... OMG COOL SHIPS ... OMG! When work finished that night I headed straight home, sold all of my WOW gear for whatever I could, sent my remaining gold to my alliance with a farewell/goodluck email, cancelled my WOW subscription and downloaded the EVE client. As a side note I'd just like to say that this is an awesome game CCP. As a software developer I can understand the efforts involved in designing, producing, developing and maintaining such a game and I think you're doing an amazing job. Full credit to CCP and I wish you all the best for the future.
Kipkruide Evolution Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.05.06 09:24:00 - [420] well gratz for holding eve up for 4 years and counting, best things i'd say. Armageddon night Jove battle eventage First titan on tranquility was way cool. (that's non player controlled eventage btw) SA C4 war. And when our first outpost popped out of the egg, way cool. FT- battle goes in there too, but that was mostly staring at a empty screen while listening to bob-radio and reading what was going on in chat.

Brandeger	Posted - 2007.05.06 09:29:00 - [421] SNOW BALLS! mine melted but hey, I shouldn't put them so close to Cataclysm Cruise Missiles. Yay! EvE on the 4th & many more!

Eshtir Forum Moderator Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2007.05.06 10:36:00 - [425] Oh no, im late... Happy Birthday Eve! Funny story here, A fellow mod and myself decided to warp around in polaris space one shiny day. We both initiated a warp to a beacon that was shown on our overview. The capacitor on our ships went down to like 90% and hence i thought everything is normal. Time passes and we chat a bit during warp. After 10 minutes i began to wonder why we still didnt arrive at our destination. Ah, still a few 1000 of au¦s to go. I looked back to the station where i came from, hmm, 6000 au away. So i did some calculations (1+1=2) 6000au + 3998au left = 9998au warp. Doh! After 15-20mins we arrived at our destination .... the Alliance Tourney Specator Beacon. PS.: Jacques was my partner in crime. PSs.: Yes we did warp back to the station aswell forum rules \| [email protected] \| Our Website! Want to be an EVE-Online forum moderator? click here!

Kaid Tallinu Gallente SHAPE	Posted - 2007.05.06 10:44:00 - [427] Many happy returns Eve, and congrats to CCP! Been here 3.5 years and many happy memories: 1) Moving all the way from Gisleres to Paye on my second day of play to join a corp. Darn, that's a long way to go with no AB or MWD and no warp-to-zero! But it gave me lots of time to admire the scenery :) 2) Finally getting to Paye and meeting the boss, Gary Forthy. Heading out to the belts for our first mining op together. Had just been gifted an Imicus, and Gary was in his Apoc. I don't think I mined much, I was just sat there gawping at the scale of this massive ship next to me! 3) Working hard and getting my first Thorax, then losing it on the same day due to a) stupidity and b) panic. Decided to test it out by killing some NPC haulers, and found out that they hit a lot harder than you would think... warped to the nearest planet with 1/4 armour left, and started repping... someone else warped to the same planet, I panicked, and warped to the first station on the list. Unfortunately, it was the station the NPC haulers had come from BOOM 4) Gary replacing my Thorax as a Christmas present! 5) Hearing rumours of action in Crielere, and heading out there to watch, my first real view of a massive battle (and first time I'd seen NPC BS). 6) A lil tingle every time the ISK in my wallet has an extra 0 on the end 7) Getting my first Apoc. Losing it a while later in Reblier to a PvP encounter with a Mega while fitted for a mission. Adreniline rush! And finally: 8) All the people I've met, who've made it so much fun. In particular, Gary... 3.5 years later, and I'm still in a corp he runs. Get that 'net connection sorted buddy and come back soon! Here's to the future
clint eastwood Aur0ra	Posted - 2007.05.06 10:51:00 - [428] happy 4th birthday eve hmm most memorable moment is when fade was first taken when no 1 else had been able to take it was rather easy lol hope there are many more years of eve happy birthday I like to shoot people
VIctoria Ballentyne Minmatar Pale Riders Incorporated	Posted - 2007.05.06 10:56:00 - [429] Happpppy Birthday Eve!!! One hell of a babe :) Most memorable events? Going into low sec with friends to try out pvp finding nothing and shooting each other, getting criminal countdowns.... getting jumped by a pirate and fleeing to a station by mistake and both of us getting blown up.. then watching the pirate who had followed us get blown up as well.... and then leaving the station in my shiny new reaper and getting blown up again....>< Getting the corp mail that accepted me into Pale Riders... back then it was my second corp but a year later realising that I loved the corp so much I came back to it after a tour in 0.0 and became CEO Being in my first T2 fitted Prophecy in low sec, being attacked and scrammed by a Raven and tackler and being able to survive as the people I'd made friends with a few hours earlier came to my rescue. Eve rawks, is consistently fun. I saw Eve and Star Wars Galaxies at the same time (pre nerf nerf). I don't regret joining SWG instead of Eve, but I do regret not doing both >< "Forbid a man to think for himself or to act for himself and you may add the joy of piracy and the zest of smuggling to his life"

Quintus Carnifex	Posted - 2007.05.06 11:11:00 - [431] Originally by: Avon Originally by: Wrangler No, we didn't forget anything, we actually discussed this a while for a few days and decided this would be a cool thing to do - Wrangler Seriously? That actually is more upsetting than the thought that you had just forgot. This is how we celebrate four years Eve, and our participation in it? A thread? Yeah, way to go. I know how I would feel if for their birthdays I gave my kids a pen and paper and said "go make your own gift, me and your mum decided it would be more fun than buying you something." /me skulks off. Aw, don't be like that. They obviously didn't forget you, since they seem to have given you an enormous sense of entitlement to mark the occasion. A boo hoo hoo -- scene!

Cribb Minmatar Confederation of Red Moon Red Moon Federation	Posted - 2007.05.06 11:13:00 - [433] First happy b-day eve. And to be honest there are a few moments that i call memorable. 1 st moment has to be wheni saw The Eve cdlying in store. At that time i was in America on vacation so it would lasted 3 weeks before i could install eve on my pc. 2nd memorable thing is the suicide run i made when i was in Ushra K'han. A couple of alliance buddy's went in there noobships fitted with a gun and i shield booster ( i think that was it)to the homesystem of Aegis Militia. Just to shoot them and see how long we lasted. We did pretty well :). I alo could talk about my first rat farming trip in The Great wild lands, could only fly a rifter at the time and my corp buddy's where in cruisers. My first time getting podded, 1st fleet battle ect... But i would like to say thnx to all my former corpmates, Sforza, Phennick, Jorund, Jules, Juss and the Usrha K'han for making the 1st 3 years in eve so much fun. And offcours a big shout out to my current corp CoRM who make eve atm fun to play. Cribb
Viron Skywatcher Minmatar Sebiestor tribe	Posted - 2007.05.06 11:17:00 - [434] i remember my first time in eve when it first opened i manged to save up enough from mining in a imicus to afford a iteron 1 this was on my first char anyway i got a lot of joy out of doing the market and with that old ship when you got out of warp you travel so slowly to the gate i use to imagine all the people on borad checking cargo and doing things poeple did on slow moving ships in highsec... I still imigne the same thing when im Auto piloting though highsec in the obelisk :D this game continues to give me joy and there always something new to test my skills on be it a obscenely hard L4 mission in lowsec to being ganked by pirates .... thanks CCP :D
MattyAlin	Posted - 2007.05.06 11:21:00 - [435] I remember when i first stated playing and was running level one miss with an ibis using a 150mm rail gun, it cost me 500k for the best one. It broke my bank lol. I love this game well done guys keep the hard work going.

Arooga Amarr ISD STAR Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2007.05.06 11:23:00 - [436] Happy Birthday :) My Best moment - During an Event where we, poor capsule pilots were respnding to a call to protect a border from the cursed Blood Raiders. After we successfully co-ordinated a defence of a few gate camps in 0.3 systems, I got left behind as the gang warped off whilst collecting drones in my Ishtar. As i rushed to catch up with the gang, I arrived at a gate at the same time as an enemy 'Blood Follower ' arrived in his pod. As I popped out the Ogres, I engaged him with my 250mm rails, heart pumping, expecting him to warp away and pop got his Pod!! Now have a nice corpse in the hangar morgue :) ----------------------- Arooga ISD STAR Division

Larech Frodoth Caldari Achura Trade Federation	Posted - 2007.05.06 11:56:00 - [441] I have a quite a few moments in Eve which to me pretty much summons up what this game is all about. 1. My first day in the game, docking out and realizing how huge the solar system really was. I have never been so impressed by a game in my life, apart from when I was told that there were thousands of other solar system that are just as big. I was stunned by it, and was ecstatic for weeks afterwards. 2. When I joined the guys in JuBa in the days when we all were in Solitude. I felt right at home amongst the twisted minds of crazy dutchmen, nasty brits and a bunch of silly americans I can honestly say that being with those guys changed me as a person as much ingame as out of it. Hats off to all of them. When I was going through some rough times in RL just logging on to Eve and spending time in corpchat was able to keep me from doing stupid things. They contributed alot into saving my life (literally). Thanks guys. 3. The short period of time in Racing Corp, not to mention the invitation to that corp. Me and a friend were out ratting in an empty 0.3 system (him in a shield tanked Thorax, myself in a Caracal with a small shield booster) when we saw an old JuBa player (namely Tado) appear in local. We happily kept flying around until he jumped in the same belt as us in a HAC and just stood there. We didn't know what to do so we just waited aswell. A few minutes past, nothing happened until I got an Evemail saying that he was going to attack us but just saw a post I made at a forum and offered me a place in his corp. I almost **** my pants at that moment, realizing that he would have peeled the flesh off my bones before I could scream "zomg!". Anyway, me and my friend both joined RC with Tado and he dragged us around pretty much all of Eve. We had a great time and learned alot back then, I still get all warm and fuzzy inside when I think about The Big Blue and their "LOCKDOWN!". 4. The olympics ice hockey final. Sweden against Finland. That was the time when the very same friend as above had dragged his comp over to my place and we sat in a room no more than 12 square metres with two comps running painfully hot. We had a TV in another room, so everytime the speakers started to get excited, we came running to check what was happening. In the end we both lost our ships due to being afk in belts, but that didn't matter at all. A small price for a gold in the olympics. I've taken a break or two from Eve, but always came back thanks to the people and the possibilities. No other MMO, no other game at all has had even remotely the impact on me as Eve had. Here's to another 4 years, and beyond!

3Sirhc	Posted - 2007.05.06 12:00:00 - [443] Comming from and Old Progen Warrior from E & B, I came to Eve soon after EnB was offlined. Just couldnt get the hang of it so I didnt try again untill over a year later. I have regreted that choice now for 2 yrs. 2 Thumbs up to CCP and all those involved. My fondest moment in Eve, was the realization of the close knit friends I have made from all over the world, and im still not sure what some arent from another solar system. Thank you Eve-Online for bringing the world and great people together in a unified thought.

My favorite moment was getting that Beta Invitation! Of course, back at that time, I had no idea how truly great, timeless and ageless EVE Online would become... Thank you for 4 years of pure entertainment! Here's to wishing the next 4 are even better! Much Love, Seakon

panman Captain Morgan Society	Posted - 2007.05.06 13:38:00 - [452] Congrats on 4 years. My most memorable moment was when i first tried 0.0 life out. Joined an alliance, went down to their space. Bought my first Dominix and was so shocked at the size of the NPC rats, having come straight from empire. ----------------------- Resistance is not worth it

Falke	Posted - 2007.05.06 13:54:00 - [454] First i would like to say Happy Birthday to everyone that was in the game on launch day.I was in Beta and had ordered EVE from a software company.I did not make it in till the 20th of May because they sent me the worng game,something like midEVEal total war. The best memory was when MASS and a few other corps had to kill some Jovien to get one of the first Miner2 bpo.Or mining in 0.0 space with a bunch of frigates and the guards were only cruisers.
Beetle Boy Minmatar Obsidian Inc. KIA Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.06 14:03:00 - [455] Happy Birthday EvE Keep up the good work CCP Best Moment of EvE was when i hit that "Enter Game" button on log-in screen for the first time and was hooked :)

Beastoria Sniggerdly Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2007.05.06 14:43:00 - [458] My most memorable event was the first time I killed a player in "cold blood" I decided after 11 months vacation from EvE to become a pirate ... I quickly fitted my geddon and went out hunting. I entered a system and saw 5 targets and decided to scan and found a maller npc-ing in a belt. I warped in on him and scrammed and webbed him and shot him down ... I felt this wierd rush in killing the innocent npc-er and the mail that followed made my day --------------------------------------------------
Mebrithiel Ju'wien Omerta Syndicate Exuro Mortis	Posted - 2007.05.06 15:17:00 - [459] Most memorable moments? Jeez, EveTV is certainly up there at the top: Meeting so many famous names, getting drunk with them, and roaming Reykjavik with them. Being on tv was surreal. Hi mom. Waaaaaay too much Jack Daniels. In Eve though, every time has been great. A lot of us play computer games as a form of escapism, but when you can meet and get on with so many people, like-minded or not, online in such the living breathing universe that Eve is, you realise it's less escapism and more a journey; a successful search to find (and most times shoot) people all over the world who believe in Eve. I'm forever gonna regret that I missed the first year, thanks to university, but what I've seen grow in Eve will stick with me for the rest of my life. Hopefully Eve will be around when/if I have children and they grow old enough to play it too. If not, I'll be telling them, as humanity only just begins to reach for the stars, that I used to gank people among the stars when I was their age, in a living, breathing, real Eve. To CCP and the players, all the support and effort that goes into Eve; may it continue for at least another 4 more years and onwards. Good girls go to Heaven. Bad girls get drunk and pew pew in Delve.
kRIS jEEVES	Posted - 2007.05.06 15:38:00 - [460] Well I'm only 8 mo old, but my best memory is the first time I got podded. 2nd day of eve in a shuttle flying through low sec. Someone tries to target me from 150 km away so i think nothing of it... then I'm in the station with some new mail. Every time I lose a ship or get podded I complain about this being the worst game ever, but I'm sure my 4 year anniversary will come soon enough. Thanks for a great game!

Nostredeus Morphius Minmatar Armoured Assassins	Posted - 2007.05.06 15:38:00 - [461] Originally by: Scyd I would say the day i attacked the goonies when they were new, and got dozens of kills in my harpy while taking no losses. It was my first fleet op ever, and i have never left 0.0 ever since. =) Oh god. I know who you are :P And yeah, goonies were fun when they were new. Altho i have to say that back when I had my old char and we were wtfsieging Aunenen was the most fun and memorable moment ever. Largest single corp slaughterfest ever. Then the naughty GM's made us leave. GMs dont love us, they love others more. Cries MROE BREE for the Fedos ! ---------------- ASS movie for your viewing pleasure.
mamolian Vortex. Maelstrom Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.06 15:44:00 - [462] Some of the memmories I'll keep to the day I die.. The point where I sat back and realised.. Whoah.. Theres more to this game than just grinding.. The first pvp encounter where my hand shook so much I was bearly able to keep ahold of my mouse My first reasonable sized fleet fight.. (We got pwned! :D) Escorting Freighters in 0.0 that held both the minerals/trade goods and the outpost platform, we had spent months and months of time building, and then having to defend off a RA sniper group with dictor support that slowed us at every gate.. Mining all the minerals for my carrier. But above all... 2 years on.. I've met many of my corp mates in RL.. and will continue to play many games in the future with this great group of people. Thank you CCP for having the balls to create a game.. that wont appeal to the majority.. but sure as hell keeps a sizeable group of people very happy. ♥ Mamolian. -------------------------------
Sentille Sebiestor tribe	Posted - 2007.05.06 15:44:00 - [463] Happy Birthday EVE! Most memorable event: Going into 0.0 for the first time when my old corp joined Phoenix Alliance back in the day. Hairs on the back of my neck stood up and my heart was pumping. I can't begin to imagine another game having such an effect. For all the things that need fixing, for all the things people complain about, EVE is the defenition of a unique gaming experience. <3 CCP
Almarez Setenta Corp Xelas Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.06 15:53:00 - [464] I guess most memorable moment was having first Prophecy blown up by Concord cause some jerk flew into my smart bomb trying to take my loot. But really, the best part about this game is all of the people from all around the world that have become friends. I was at a RL friend's wedding (he also plays Eve) and he had several Eve friends attend, that was pretty cool.
Melissa Telvani Melissa Jumpclones INC	Posted - 2007.05.06 16:20:00 - [465] I started about 1 year ago. And I still remember when I had finished downloading it ... Setting up account and launched game. Cursing my way through the tutorial and coming out alive to the other side ... And being stunned by the beauty of space. _Exactly_ how I would have made it (if I could ). I can still undock and just sit out in the space watching the stars, and the beautiful colors To the devs and gms : Thank you for making me able to be in space without having to leave my apartment Thank you for making a game that after 1 year still kicks me in the ass and calls me noob Thank you for a game that pushes me to the limit ALOT, making me curse, laugh and going insane all together at the same time Thank you.
Sally Fourth	Posted - 2007.05.06 16:21:00 - [466] Fondest memories Zombie's siege of yulai, First time I got ganked there.

Katana Seiko Made in Germany	Posted - 2007.05.06 16:32:00 - [467] Most memorable...

Dyvim Slorm Aliastra	Posted - 2007.05.06 16:39:00 - [470] Four years, how time flies. Fondest memories are the fights with Capt Pugwash and friends in Fountain/Aridia, and the night Jim Raynor chased me through Outer Ring in my very early noob days (I got away with about 4% structure). Also many old corpmates who I hope are doing well. Sadly I don't get much time to play right now, but Happy Birthday EVE, the best online game around.

Jorana Rowan Gallente Gallente Equipment And Resources	Posted - 2007.05.06 16:44:00 - [471] Happy Birthday Eve and thanks CCP for two years of the most visually stunning enjoyment ever. Most memorable Event is taking part in the Eden Continuum competition in conjunction with Eve Radio. Thanks to DJ Stora and DJ Malone. Made many friends and had such fun. I think I'll never get tired of just sitting in a ship by a moon and enoying the beauty of eve space. J
idontlikeu	Posted - 2007.05.06 16:58:00 - [472] My most memorable memmory must be when the devs failed totaly in making a big event on the game's 4th year annaversary but there is still hope they make the wrongs right...
Iron Eagle Fun Inc Knights Of Syndicate	Posted - 2007.05.06 16:59:00 - [473] Four years! And to think I've been playing for most of that. Congrats, and may we have many more. I'd have to say there were two good memories. The first was my first trip to the Eve gate. Just sitting and looking at how nice it looks. The second one was logging in from work one day to train a skill in AZN and hearing "Cyvok's here in a Titan!", undocking in the fastest ship in my hanger and hanging around the Titan, making excuses to not fix computers. __________________________________ Fly safe - fly smart.

amego Caldari Fury Corporation	Posted - 2007.05.06 17:52:00 - [475] I have to agree with Dyvim, the days of fountain were amazing, fighting Serpentis Corporation for a week down there was fun, the good ol' days.
ThatGuyYouHate	Posted - 2007.05.06 17:57:00 - [476] Happy birthday EVE! My favorite moment is sitting there tanking a Noob Carrier pilot in my passive tanked ferox for like 5 mins, just gives you a warm fuzzy feeling when you can tank a 1 billion plus ship with one worth less than a 100 mil. Ohh and then coming back and doing it again with a drake
Locutus ofBorg Caldari Royal Hiigaran Navy	Posted - 2007.05.06 18:06:00 - [477] Probably my most memorable moment is when my corporation lost its first dreadnought and everyone was in the dumps, so i said lets go kill something. We had every member in our corp chat undock in their combat ships and the first thing we found was a noob ship, poor little noob ship LOL.
Kel Gunrunner Dark Destiny Inc.

I still think the crown takes a frigate night when i was in BNC.We were all in various stadium of alcohol influence and having good fun and we attacked , for fun, i cant remember 3-5 enemy bs (we were around 6 persons if i remmber), sure to die horribly, and actually we have won , killed all the bs in frigs.And it was before all those changes that eased the survival of small ships against big ones... Cheers to any BNC reading this. Second place takes a Rise fight attacking enemy pos (Yuowaht) when outgunned by enemy and still killing thier carrer.Kudos to Taurus for inspired leadership. Cheers to all devs and players ,Eve is trully something unique.
Katrina Kirellii Caldari Escorts of Eve Hyperium	Posted - 2007.05.06 19:25:00 - [482] When I went to see Ginger Magician for the first time. I leaped into Hagilur and looked about. Ginger was shooting shuttles in his Armageddon from over 100km away. So I started moving that direction... Ginger then shot my Scorpion. I then jammed him and hit the cloak... Ginger proceeded to station and I talked to him from outside. He begged for over an hour for me not to harass him in many ways and please just let him go back to shooting shuttles and such. Eventually when 4 of his friends logged in and came to his aid to say it was okay to undock in his battleship, I left. It was really pathetic if you think about it - but very memorable. Every good meal or celebration deserves a fine whine and Ginger's is the best for any event. Join Today!
Qolde Minmatar Guardian Heroes Inc.	Posted - 2007.05.06 19:32:00 - [483] My most memorable moment was the first time I went soloing in lowsec in a stabber. Some of those battles made my heart pump more than the first time I rode a rollercoaster. Never get popped again!
Voltron Caldari STK Scientific Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.05.06 19:47:00 - [484] I know theres been bigger moments, but my personal most memorable, and the one that ushered in EVE's new warfare style to me, was the death of the first dreadnaught. That was a great battle and one hell of a good time! Volt It's great touching your own dink isn't it? You're looking at the worlds next *****CatDoll!

Dalnora	Posted - 2007.05.06 20:19:00 - [486] My most memorable event in Eve was when I first trained up enough skill and saved up enough money to buy my Rifter. I then took it out to 0.0 space and traveled all around because there was really no one there back then.
couger malthas Amarr Shiva Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2007.05.06 20:30:00 - [487] hmmm i would have to say my most MM would have to be back in secondgen when i started, i loved the game everything was like ****, easy on the eyes and made me happy in the pants.... anyways i would ahve to say when i was in AMAX when i was stitting on a low sec gate scouting in my first geddon... i wish i knew Moo was able to kill people on low sec gates _______________________________________________
Sakura Nihil Tabula Rasa Systems The Star Fraction	Posted - 2007.05.06 20:57:00 - [488] Best memory? Third alliance tournament, night before SF vs. ASCN. We spent the night practing breaking turtle tanks, and it didn't look that hopeful, so already a loss down we hit the hay for the night to wake up rested in the morning. I get up, watching my teammates prepare and outfit their ships, make last minute preparations as they're then transported to Jove space. The rest of the Fraction gathers on Vent and starts up EVETV, IRC, alliance chat, the works and watches as they take the field and the announcers think it will be an ASCN win considering our blunder the previous match - I think it was only Mebrithiel who gave us the go ahead prior to the match. It starts, we put the damps and webs on their three largest ships, and start railgun and drone fire on the two Hookbills - all of a sudden, we swap fire to one, and it melts, we then focus on the other one and it goes down. So, right there we could have won on points, but what happens next stunned me - our Huginn pilot released his web on their Zealot, and it charges towards us. Outside of remote repair range, he re-webs it, and we hammer it - that just leaves their Eos and Hyperion; more split fire to drain each one's capacitor, then focused fire on the Eos to bring it down, followed by the Hyperion. A team that tied BoB in the Second Alliance Tournament was utterly crushed. We were cheering at the top of our voices on Vent, and if we would have been next to each other in RL I would without doubt bet there would have been bear hugs and champagne corks popping, followed by much drunken revelry afterwards. That was one of my proudest moments in EVE, to be with these people at this time in my career to experience this.
Andrymeda	Posted - 2007.05.06 21:02:00 - [489] Congrats! Hope to see many more. My most memorable moment was outwitting a Mo0 squadron and not firing a single shot.

Fitz Chivalry eXceed Inc.	Posted - 2007.05.06 21:20:00 - [493] My most memorable moment was joining my first corp (Helios Enterprises 4tw) and seing my ceo's megathron and being told it cost 125,000,000 isk and never imagining ever having enough isk to buy something like that. /me looks at wallet with 5m isk - hmm nothing changes.
Prosephonie	Posted - 2007.05.06 21:44:00 - [494] I've never believed in MMO's. Something about buying a game and having to pay to play it just always made me think it was some sort of sham. I mean, who the hell buys a game that is useless unless you're forking over money continuously to play it? Sometime in 2003 this EVE box appeared in my local video game store. I'd just gotten off games like Homeworld and Conquest: Frontier Wars, and the famous Freelancer. I'd stare at it's blank face on the cover, staring back at me and I'd think "It looks cool, but why would I ever want to pay money to play it?" Of course, the rumor mill had been grinding at home. All my friends had heard about this crazy new game where everything was perfectly to scale, and you could be flying along and have this behemoth of a battleship fly for five minutes end to end over the top of you as you lined up in traffic to travel. A crazy world where you had to physically travel to objects in the void of space, and your ship always stayed put. This paculior pixelated world seemed so alien to me, I could own my own asteroid mining outpost; or set up my own space station in the deep regions of the universe. Every day I worked at the mall I'd stop in on lunchbreak and look at the games on the rack. Every day I grinned while walking past EVE ONLINE. Wondering why you'd spend all this time building something that stays for all to see and destroy when you log off. The rumors had passed my ears of complete lawlessness, and this band of players called "Concorde" who had taken it apon themselves to mediate players in eve. Chaos did not interest me, and I walked passed. Months came and went, the cover of the EVE ONLINE box burned into the back of my retnas. The rumors had quieted, I hadn't heard anything in a long time about this crazy game put together by a bunch of Nerds from Iceland. Then one thundery rainy day came. The love of my life (at the time) dumped me for my best friend. My other best friend moved away from home, school was out, and I was depressed. I walked along the mall, a tear running down my cheek. My life as I knew it had ended. I remember thinking I had no-one in the world as I walked into EB Games that day, another tear ran down my cheek. And there he was again, that orange box looked so warm and inviting compared to the cold harsh reality of my life that day. I walked past, a slight smile on my face. I reminiced of sunnier days in rhode island before all this crap happened I was back walking the bike path in Bristol, watching the waves in the bay. I walked forever just staring at the blue water. Sadly, My memory was longer than the isle I smacked headlong into an end display, dumping varius game boxes, including a copy of EVE ONLINE all over the floor. I put them all back, and stared blankly at the half a face staring back at me from the shelf, and grinned. I must have looked like some sort of deranged mad nerd that night. Thunder roared outside my room. My lights were off, the only thing lighting up my surroundings was the glow from the monitor. I installed; logged in, hands trembling, and stared at this funny little ship called a "Velator" The back of the box showed pictures of space, I was not there... Shoulda not X'd out the annoying voice. I grinned, I had no ******* clue how to do anything in this game, it rocked! It took me 6 hours to undock, I was aggrivated but on the edge of my seat. Here comes lawlessness, and I'm ready to kick someone's ass or die trying! The screen went black, then opened up to a sweeping space station, immediatly infront of me flew the coolest looking space ship I'd ever seen. It was like a double-barreled shotgun with engines. "It must be a small cruiser" I thaught, I was hooked. The following days proved to be one rumor killer after another. There were no "Battleships", Concorde was not players, My ship did log off (phew). But nomatter the bad news, I had found a game that absolutely kicks ass. Thanks for the Memory CCP!

This day today I always have a fitted Ferox in hangar with a prefix: Sub'Fantom Thx Sub'Rosa and FantomChaser Btw PvP in Eve really gives a kick - even if you are a Falcon sneaking up on 3 noob cruisers and taking them all out - I'm a nice guy!! and OMG I love Team Tuxford for the speedbalancing...

Actually the part of that event that sticked most to me was some friendly fire by the Joves on one of our pilots before we even encountered the Stain Alliance.

Gilgamoth Imperium Technologies Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2007.05.06 23:08:00 - [500] Happy Birthday EVE My most memorable moment was just after getting my first Covert Ops ship and I was travelling back to my corps home station. I came across an Aurora event where five Imperial Apocolypse's were causing grief in local. I joined the gang and was given a copy of the BM they'd dropped. I warped in cloaked to find myself 70km below them, and slowly made my way to about 10km below them. a fleet of about 30 locals jumped in at their optimals and ripped the Aurora team to pieces. To this day I reckon that they didn't know how it was done Here's to another 4 years of fun. Regards, Gil Future Falcon EVE Tools - Project Leader.

Tiirae	Posted - 2007.05.06 23:09:00 - [501] My most memorable moment was probably the first time someone tried to pirate me. I was ratting in my brand new brutix when this guy in a thorax locks and scrambles me. He didn't last long enough to warp out it was that event that first got me interested in PvP...

LemmingNoWhereToGo	Posted - 2007.05.06 23:20:00 - [504] 1. My friend and I racing each other to download Eve, 'this game we'd heard about that might be worth a go' - heh. 2. Being gobsmacked at how beautiful space and the ships appear, the variety of objects, the warp graphics and even the old font for 'WARPING' (bring it back!) 3. Joining my first ever corp and learning the wondrous and convoluted ropes 4. Making friends, enemies and corp website banners 5. Weekend long belt-stripping sessions 6. Snowball launchers on Christmas Day 7. An entire two week Christmas holiday off work, devoted utterly to Eve and that includes shunning a massive street party and spending New Year pwning plexes as players from around the world wished each other Happy New Year throughout the night. 8. (and this one's a biggie) Discovering Eve Radio (thanks Derboff), entering compo's, pwning for hours to some great dance music mixes, participating in the fantastic 'Lemmings Leap'. Managing to get the DJ to shout-out to a n00b friend I was introducing to Eve. Should have seen his face ;o) 9. Smacking piewats in local and falling about laughing at their responses and being invited to join them 10. Reading the messages tagged on cans left at Eve Gate 11. The amazing in-game jukebox - soundtrack of my life for a few months back in the n00b days 12. Eve all-nighters, fast food, beer and hysterical laughter at gang-chat 13. Spending an entire night flying manual with a gang of others until we finally found Yan Jung ruins 14. ...and all the usual first times - ganking, being ransomed, being ganked, adoring the mining laser glow reflecting off nearby roids, spending hours reading about items in market, warping to the sun for the first time, blocking all gates to trap an ore-thief...the list is endless. Thanks CCP. Teh Iceh ;o)

tlmitf	Posted - 2007.05.07 00:25:00 - [507] The best moment for me was actually the first ship i lost, my megathron. running a nice lvl 4, got scramed ran outta cap and pop... I was shaking for ages! I couldnt believe that i just lost a 100M BS, it was gone ... forever. Worst moment was taking yet another mega into lowsec and getting ganked by a pair of russians. There was NOTHING i could do. I couldnt lock targets, my drones wouldnt attack (poped them out to late) and i had no cap. All i could do was sit there and watch my ship explode around me, all i was thinking was "you ***** i hope that was as boring for you as it was for me" At least i got out of there with my pod!
Ris Dnalor Minmatar Stormriders Fimbulwinter	Posted - 2007.05.07 00:30:00 - [508] I remember hauling without autopilot & making very good isk, I remember armageddon day when lag kicked everyone's butt. I remember training learning before everything else only to have really rich people pass me up in skill points b/c the have the uber implants ( i'm not bitter :) ) I remember techell, great people, honor to have known them & done business with them. I remember how harvesters got really expensive & how we all wished we had saved some... I remember crielere & concord shooting people & people chainspawning concord, & how it wasn't really a gate to jovian space after all just a stupid science station that came up with stealth bombers.... blame the Caldari & Gallente... it was their idea all along. I remember lots of things & lots of people that have come on gone. bottom line: Eve isn't just a story waiting to be told. It's millions of stories, some of which that will be told but most will only ever be know by a rare few. Here's to the people who made eve & the people who play eve & to another million stories that are beginning and ending as we add to the thread. thanx, it's been fun & will be still. -- Talking in Circles is more dizzying than walking in them...

Prometheus Titan	Posted - 2007.05.07 00:52:00 - [510] What I like the best about this game is the gigantic amount of bullcrap Devs publish in their blogs (keep it going guys!!!) the overdose of angry replies and threats to leave the game if changes are being made to the game and last but not least, the extreme devotion of even those who dared to even think to leave EVE on such occassions but never really did! On our way to 60k simultanious online people playing EVE for Ultra Woot-age ;-) \0/, Ever-lag-city Jita having over 1000 players in it at average and DX 10 graphics and in station pawnage!!

But in all seriousness its the best damn game I've ever played....nearly 3 and a half years and I still get the shakes and heart pounding in pvp. Happy Birthday Eve and CCP keep up the good work.
cagnazo	Posted - 2007.05.07 02:10:00 - [512] Edited by: cagnazo on 07/05/2007 02:07:07 mine happened a couple of months ago when I was still flying an enyo. I had taken one of my expeditions down to ammatar space and was ratting in one of the .4 systems near Janus. Apparently I wasn't paying attention cause all of a sudden I found myself scrambled by a pirate. It took me a second to realize the pirate was flying a thorax. He was telling me to pay him when I pointed out that there was no chance that he'd beat me in a fight as he was only a month or two old, Im not the best PvPer but I certainly can handle a clueless pirate or two. The guy said I can take out your Incursus any day. He had apparently mistaken my AF for a standard frig. Suffice it to say I educated him. He warped away before I could finish the job though Just noticed this got posted with my alt, why it choses my alt every time i'll never know

Pheonix Talyn	Posted - 2007.05.07 02:29:00 - [515] After so long its hard to pick any one thing, from the miner2 incident, the battle for cloak technology, faction ships, and the launch of the first Titan. Things have and continue to grow and change, meeting and beating all the new challenges before it... If I had to pick one thing... it'd be a few years back when I was working at my office, at times staying through out the night, just because of this addiction that is EVE. My boss loved it I was always there at the office, he even bought me a mat, mini-fridge, and microwave for my over night Thorax mining (the word fanatic comes to mind). During that time I was going through some serious RL issues, it was at that time I met some of the best mates a person could ever have, they helped both in game and out. One who will remain nameless (you know who you are) even sent me a card from clear across the world wishing me well. That is and will remain my best memory during the course we have all traveled here... CCP, you guys have created something that is unlike anything else. Most have been satisfied with just a few dungeons, worlds, or levels. But you guys have created an entire universe where real friendships, that go well beyond the scope of a normal game, have been formed. Sure enough we as players complain now and then but if it weren't for you guys we'd have no reason to want things better, to want more. Every other game out there once you reach a certain point becomes SSDD, but here you continuosly leave us wanting more and wondering what will come next. All in all, Devs and Players alike, we've made this game, this world what it is.

Kirex Gallente Vale Heavy Industries Molotov Coalition	Posted - 2007.05.07 02:35:00 - [516] About my first month in eve (around august 2004), I joined KBL (small mining corp). At the time we were based out of gulfonodi iirc. I was flying an incursus and mining with my CEOs mega and a few other people. I had a REALLY bad PC (10 FPS in space ;/) and rats spawned and I lagged. A few mins later, my screen updated and I was in a pod. I started *****ung, mad I lost an incursus which was all I could afford at that time. ;p Ah the noob days when I thought frigs were expensive and cruisers were near impossible to obtain.

DarkAngel Gallente	Posted - 2007.05.07 03:20:00 - [518] Most memorable moment.. can't say it's memorable, but it's stuck in my head all this time.. beta 5.. or was it beta 6.. can't remember.. anyways we had just gotten our shiny new Tier 1 cruisers. Now at this time, it was a big deal, cuz they only had the tier 1 cruisers out for all the races. So we were mining of all things, and this guy in a noob ship pulls up next to us and does nothing. We think he's going to try to steal our ore, so we pew pew him. Now he doesn't die, but he starts speaking to us in broken english to stop. This was our first encounter with RUS corp. We stop and he starts saying that we're gonna get blown up if we don't give him 1 million isk right now (1 million isk was ALOT in beta!!!) Of course we laugh at him and go about our business. Needless to say, when we warped to the station, there was a maller waiting for us. Now there were only 3 mallers in the game at the time iirc, and these things were waaaay overpowered. Long story short, we ended up barely escaping them, and paid them the 1 million isk and swiftly left the area. That was the beginning of my fight with RUS. Amazing how things start isn't it? :) DA
Bruno Bonner Gallente Lutin Group	Posted - 2007.05.07 03:34:00 - [519] Congratz to CCP for 4 years of continous improvement on the game. My most memorable moments belong to my time in Eve University. The first when we faced MC vs Big Blue in the IPS-QB constellation. The second when i became director for mining and a recognized instructor for the institution. I know they will many more to come.

Nemar Tel'Narin Solar Wind Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.05.07 03:39:00 - [520] Congrats to CCP on 4 yrs of this game. While I must say I haven't enjoyed every single moment of it due to certain things, well, I'm still here after almost 3 yrs myself so gotta be doing something right. There is so many other about to celebrate their own 4 yr anniversary, including my current corp soon will be 4 yrs old. As for my favorite moment it would have to be my very first true 1 v 1 pvp agaisnt someobdy who tried to actually gang me with his buds but by the time we actually started the battle they all went AFK so of course he lost the battle. Not only that but I contacted his CEO about being setup and the CEO kicked him from corp and apparently he quit playing the game shortly thereafter. God love Carebearin corps.

Kylar Renpurs	Posted - 2007.05.07 03:54:00 - [521] Congratulations EVE and CCP. Would have to say my most memorable moment was when I caught a Band of Brothers bubblecamp sleeping. In a raven decked out with some pricey gear, I didn't pay attention to the 13 neutrals in local and warped to the next gate, only to find a large bubble and 12 campers. This included 2 tacklers within 2500m and numerous gankships, an assortment of battleships, hacs etc.. God knows how or why, but I hit the AB on my raven and flew in the other direction, waiting for the fateful locking noise and explosions. Nothing. Not a thing, no movement or anything. 30k left till out of range of the bubble, 20, 10, 5, bang, warp away, make a safespot mid route, go to it and log out till after DT. On my return the bubble was still there and one BOB battleship who locked me, but I was able to flee through the gate onwards to my destination in empire. Improve Market Competition!
Polysynchronicity Amarr	Posted - 2007.05.07 04:27:00 - [522] My favorite moments are those which only EVE can offer - the moments when you pull off something totally unexpected and out-of-the-box. The one that I remember best is helping a corpmate kill a hostile cruiser outside of our home outpost. Now, that might not seem so impressive to you, until I tell you that I was in a Bestower at the time, and my corpmate was in a frigate. ;) ----- That glorious ship is a Templar-class fighter, the sword of light and purity which our carriers shall drive into the hearts of the Minmatar heretics!

Polysynchronicity Amarr	Posted - 2007.05.07 04:43:00 - [524] Dear CCP: What do you say we set up a "story archive" for things such as this? I'm really enjoying reading this thread and I think it would be awesome if there was some way we could submit our recollections of the "old days" rather than losing them forever. Also, if anyone can tell me about the life and death of the first dreadnaught, I'd love to hear it. ;) ----- That glorious ship is a Templar-class fighter, the sword of light and purity which our carriers shall drive into the hearts of the Minmatar heretics!

Kimboaticus Minmatar	Posted - 2007.05.07 06:23:00 - [528] My memorable moment occurred when I was but a couple of months old. There I was minding (and mining) my own business in a very scary 0.5 system, when a....pleasant fellow shows up in the belt I am mining in. He hangs around for a bit and then leaves. I relax. He comes back again a couple of minutes later with his industrial. Odd. He then comes towards me and next thing you know, I have no ore left in my can! He cant do that! Where are the cops! But I have my trusty Heavy missiles, Ill teach him! I ended up teaching the roid I had been mining more so than the thief sadly, but I followed him back to the station. Then he calls me a stupid noob and docks. Now my noob blood is boiling but I dock too. On local he says "step outside and I will show you a thing or two!" Being supremely confident in my fully armed and operational Thrasher now, I undock to fight for honor. So maybe he was in an geddon or an apoc, but this was for honors sake! I fight valiantly, firing away with my 6 (count em 6!) small artillery guns. His shields are down to about 80% and I live still! I begin to think perhaps I will win. But then something is wrong, I have no shields. Now I have no armor! Frantically, I try to dock but am prevented! Now there are flames and then....its just me and my pod. I wait for the final death blow, but it never comes. He laughs at me in local for daring to face him in a Thrasher, more noob comments. Looking around, I see a can (before wrecks) with my assailants name on it where his ship used to be. Concord blew him up!!! We were fighting too close to the station! Maybe I was foolish to face a Battleship in a Destroyer but I know I spent alot less on my ship than he did on his. Ahhh sweet, poetic justice! Congrats for a great game and for giving all us noobs out there the freedom to do just about anything, even if it is stupid.

But back in the noob days when i mined day all the time in my little thorax to get my first bs. Ofc mining in 05 sys was boring after awhile so i decide to goto low sec.. ofc I had to pick a sys full of huff pirats So I lost so many cruisers some good moments there.. One of the more funnier momments was when Dahin probed a ASCN guy in a ss where he had an apoc for ratting and a hauler to pick up loot. So dahin waited until he jumped into the hauler then he ejected from his covert ops, took the apoc and killed the hauler.. Originally by: Shamis Orzoz When the going gets tough...the tough join Bob.

Docked alright of course, then decided to just chance it and try to get out. Hit the gate at 15km (before jump to 0) and see 5 way neg sec battleships sitting between me and the gate. Hit the AB, was at the ready on the shield/armor reps and really, really wished I could scream 'Chaaaaaarrrrge' in a meaningfull way. To this day I believe the only reason I survived was because they took so long to bother targeting me, the whole while probably thinking wtf is this nOOblet thinking? Made it through with 4% hull. That day was top notch. You may be a King or a little Street Sweeper, but sooner or later you dance wi' de' Reaper!
Batolemaeus Caldari Steel Beasts	Posted - 2007.05.07 15:11:00 - [540] ...When i was a newbie and accidently went into 0.4. Got shot in my cracal. It was an insta.. Oh, and of course the first time i undocked from Station. And my first kill, 1on1 without gangmates. It was a tough guy.. :)

Vora Dumem Gallente	Posted - 2007.05.07 15:17:00 - [541] 4 years, wow... I'm just 5 months into this game and the most amazing thing is that I can play with 4-year-veterans without annoying them too much. That's something very few MMOs can offer (tbh having 4-years-vets in an MMO is an achievement in itself ). The most memorable moment so far was my first successful escape from a pirate gate camp... the rush of adrenalin almost made my tiny Frig burst with triumph . . Very funny Mr. Scott, now beam down our clothes...
Elric Ward	Posted - 2007.05.07 15:45:00 - [542] My corp mate wanted me to clone jump out with him to an area across the galaxy ( was like 50 ish jumps away) I realized when I got to the station it had no medical clone thing. So he tells me the nearest one is two systems over. He scouted for me as I was following not far behind him in a dom. As he jumped in the system that had the medical bay I needed he said the gate was clear. So I jumped in and saw a HAC coming out of warp at the gate I was at. ( keep in mind I have no clone ) He warp srams and webs me. Then about 4 or 5 more ships jump in then my heart feels like its about to exploded its going so fast. I turned on my armor reps then ejected. I was able to get away in my pod and to the station to update my clone. Looking back on it I should have been in a shuttle or pod from the first place. But I remember thinking if they manage to pod me I'm quitting. Since this character has been around since 2003.
Seraphim Reborn Caldari The Blackguard Wolves	Posted - 2007.05.07 15:58:00 - [543] My most memorable moment has to be my first PvP encounter. I was new (3 weeks I do believe), and was getting the loot from my lvl 2 mission I had just completed in my shiney new Caracal. I suddenly realized that there was another ship taking my loot, and he was flashing red (at the time I didn't realize that NPC Police didn't attack can thieves). I docked, and fitted a web and a scram and warped back to him, not having the faintest clue what I was doing I locked and approached, expecting him to leave, but he didn't. I had no idea if he had friends in local, so as I scrammed and webbed him and let my launchers go to town I was sweating bullets. I thought my heart was going to explode out of my chest. Sure, it was Caracal (me) vs Merlin (other guy), and we were both new (he was 2 weeks older than me IIRC). Not like it was a super cool close-call win, but I will never forget that. Been almost a year since I started, and looking forward to more! Congrats CCP
Mithrantir Ob'lontra Gallente Ixion Defence Systems The Cyrene Initiative	Posted - 2007.05.07 16:00:00 - [544] Well i am only 11 months in game (well 12 days sort) but i have a big collection of memorable events lol. The first Tristan i bought, which i spent hours watching it fly in space and killing npc frigs. Biggest one my Corporation which i joined after a few days and i am still in, cool guys all and in fact i consider them friends and very good ones too. And also the first time i joined a patrol with ships above 10 where it was just awesome to see ships flying together, warping together and fighting in battles. These things as well as any new toy i get my hands on are still keeping my mouth open. Happy Birthday EVE and congratulations to CCP for making such a beautiful game. It ain't perfect but perfection is something that becomes boring fast (don't want to add a Bene Geserit quote here about perfection). ------- Nobody can be exactly like me. Even I have trouble doing it.
Maxpie Split Infinity	Posted - 2007.05.07 16:50:00 - [545] Happy Birthday Eve! Congratulations CCP, keep doing what you are doing and don't listen to the whiners! Most memorable event? So many. That's why Eve is so great. One that springs to mind is when I was new and my corp was at war. Enemy chased my Probe into the station. I had to go to the mall in rl and when I got back, the guy was still there waiting for me! Ok, I tell him, I'll come out for a 1 on 1, but to give you fair warning, I won't be in my Probe, I'll be in my Rifter! Ok he says. Out I come and he's in a Rifter too. We battle near the station, he starts getting the better of me (he's like a year older than me) and I flee to a gate. We battle there and I have to warp away as I'm being beaten (why didn't he scramble me?). I get to another gate and he shows up there. I can't jump out! Didn't know that gates don't work after you agress. He finishes me off. I look up from my laptop and realize I'm shaking from an adrenaline rush like I've never had before. I think it was around this time I changed my subscription plan to yearly. He put... creatures... in our bodies... to control our minds. He made us... say lies... do things.
bonesy19uk Minmatar Stormriders Fimbulwinter	Posted - 2007.05.07 17:19:00 - [546] Happy Birthday EVE and congratulations to all that have contributed to make our world something special My most memorable moment would be stumbling upon a Raven in an asteroid belt, ratting. Then thinking 'I wonder if I have enough Antimatter S in my hold to take it down?' My harpy engaged and 4 reloads later I had my finest moment :) <o

LEXER	Posted - 2007.05.07 17:21:00 - [548] The most memorable experience was back around 04. When I first earned a Ferox. I had worked minning for months for it. (back then it took alot more time to earn isk and train skills) I took my ferox ratting in a .4 system only for another ship of some sorts to decloak and jam me while pinning me down. His drones ate my hard earned Ferox slowly. As he ripped away at my shields I thought hard about quiting EVE Online. I did for awhile then came back. I learned a hard lesson that day and never forgot it. I still don't know who killed me, or what ship he was in. Glad to say that today I'm the one hunting. - Lexer

Mystic Rose	Posted - 2007.05.07 17:31:00 - [550] aawn, it's so sweet to remember. That was about 2 years ago ... Our little channel got 2gether in Mara in halfly fitted battleships and cruisers to celebrating the most sernior member's birthday in our small channel - some even jumped 40 jumps w/o Bms to attend. We doing pirating for the whole night, kill some haulers and cruisers, shut the local pirates up and sing happy birthday at the end through TS - I felt like we r families at that time. The only one and the last momment, but the sweetest ~ We did manage to make a corp later on, fight 2gether alot, strugling in the wake of Age of Capital ships, some even becomes FC, some quit, some continue pirating. We may never been the same but at least I will let these memories stay in my heart for really really long ~ Thx CCP for letting me meet all of my ingame-friends. And Happy birthday to Eve-Online.

Vegeta Minmatar Omniscient Order Cruel Intentions	Posted - 2007.05.07 18:57:00 - [551] Edited by: Vegeta on 07/05/2007 18:55:03 Dozens of memorable moments and fond memories. - Robbing my first corporation, 5 days or so into the game. - Robbing my second corporation, a month or so into the game. Leaving to form TLBC and the good times that ensued. - Among the first to get a battleship (scorpion) - Destroying Grikl's Impoc - Crushing FA in m0o. Showing the world that a small corp of 40 people could beat one of Eve's largest alliances. - Joining the truly elite mercenaries Cult of Cthulhu who showed me that you didn't always have to go head first into a fight. - All the awesome fights with Omniscient Order - Independently acquiring my first (and hopefully only) mothership. Goal for the next two years? Lose my mothership, cry for a month and then start saving up for an Erebus.
Managalar Gallente The Mighty All Blacks	Posted - 2007.05.07 19:40:00 - [552] First Cruiser and First Battleship Lost: In The Ascendancy only a few weeks into the game I lost my first Vexor to DrunkenMasterÆs Megathron in a Space Invaders (SPVD) gate camp. I was flying cap support for RogerWilcoÆs Apoc and he survived breaking the gate camp. Later in 2004 I had saved up enough isk to buy my first Tempest. My friend Stargazer told me it would be ok to shoot him because we were in the same corp, to try out my first battleship. Somehow (missile radius damage I think) I was promptly smacked-down by Concord and all my hard work (cruiser mining) had been lost. I was really frantic/shocked/upset. Stargazer helped me come up with the isk to replace it (because he was worried that I would be too discouraged and quit). He later used the details of this incident to prove I was myself after an 8 month Eve break (for school). His inquisition confused me at first because he kept asking about my "First Temp" and I kept trying to tell him that it wasn't a temp account. ===================== =====================

Ckmo Caldari Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2007.05.07 20:39:00 - [554] happy b-day eve mine well iam a miner at heart on this game. I remember mining all the old ore with friends as we raced to kill an entire belt. made alot of friends in the ore belts and miss them all Sunsets above other oceans. and great sights and mighty wonders to behold
Cuttlefish	Posted - 2007.05.07 20:40:00 - [555] Gotta say my first experience was in 0.3 Minmatar space which has literally become my home in EVE since I started playing. However, getting my butt kicked by a Ginger Magician on my 2nd day of play, then by Eve Warrior and Ozwald on the same day, obviously I was taking a severe risk in mining at the time rather low amounts of Omber and Kernite, and roaming areas notorious for pirate activity. Now though, its all good stuff, a lot easier to say the least. Funny thing is, after my numerous battles with pirates in those specific regions in the past, that now most of my friends in EVE are actually pirates. Good lot really,hehe!!. Good to know that I can match them now, as EVE Warrior & Ozwald know in a diff screen char,hehe :P. Love the game, shame I can not play it as much these days, but it still gets 10/10 scoring for best game ive ever played. Cheers Cuttlefish ps, advice start in high sec!.
Tachyahn	Posted - 2007.05.07 21:16:00 - [556] Happy Birthday EVE! I've enjoyed the last year very much! My most memorable moment was the first time I flew in "low-sec". I decided to take a "short-cut" through 0.4 space in my shiny new Catalyst. I was oogling all the empty, yet to be filled high slots as I warped across system, when I noticed the warp tube was about to close. I looked at the gate, 15km away, and saw a battleship hovering near it. The next sequence of events happened in an eyeblink... "Oh cool! A battleship, that's so badass!" beep beep BOOM, BOOM! inside of a station view "You silly pilot, you've been podded!" ..."WTF?!" Ah, the adrenelen. The first time I was podded. The first of many.
Gaelan Ghost	Posted - 2007.05.07 21:29:00 - [557] reactivates his account Hi CPP, i wish you the best of luck for the next 4 years and more. You made a great game which is fun to play and really deep when it comes to teamplay etc. Hope you keep it that way. And good luck on the White Wolf MMO. ;)
Trustus Dark-Rising Fallen Souls	Posted - 2007.05.07 21:31:00 - [558] well happy birthday to ccp and me of course, we share the same day:) About my experience when i first joined this game was the first time 1 enter 0,0 around providance. I was still a yongster with a lot to learn and there where BIG BOYS out there. Then the part of being a pirate was fun like hell, something ill get back later on when iam done with 0,0. /T

Draconis Amarr	Posted - 2007.05.08 00:13:00 - [561] Well, I've been around since about the last 8 months of beta and spent an off and on career over the past 4 years in EVE. I've experienced the best EVE had to offer in many of the departments of gameplay. I was a member of Sabaoth Incorporated in beta, the original and to this day the most true to the name of the one Amarr RP COrporation in EVE. I fought along side XirtamVotf while I was in Vengance of the Fallen, I started my own corporation in Curse Alliance and fought m0o, c0w, Stain, Xetic plus many more. I mined Veldespar in Sabaoth during the early days of EVE where we were working towards the first Cruiser to be produced off the Orignal Omen BP we and two other corporations worked together to buy. I mined Arkanor while being yelled at in some of the most colourful profanities Xirtam has to offer. I've fought in massive 200+ fleet encounters in U-Q, plus small frigate skirmishes including the days of the Cruise Missile Kestrels. I'd have to say after all that my favourite memory of EVE is the first PvP experience I ever had. My wingman and friend IRL Twitch Veleshti and I finally got skills to use Cruise missiles in our Kestrels. We ventured off into of all places (>_<) HED-GP. There we found our first prey, a Vigil. TO our knowledge back then a Vigil was just a crappy Minmatar ship. lol we closed in from 60km, hit 50km and locked, and proceeded to unload our missiles as though we were kiting some Sansha's spawn lol. The Vigil punched it's MWD, dropped two missiles and poped my Kestrel, then dropped two and popped Twitch. For the life of us it took everything we had to escape through the tears of us laughing so hard. God we got raped that day, here's to 4 years of dying, crying, laughing, and smashing ones head off a desk while mining. :D We love you EVE haha..
Dorack Caldari Joyriders	Posted - 2007.05.08 00:51:00 - [562] man cant believe im 4 years old :P. in any case my favoret moment... hmm... i would have to say the first time i fired up eve. the graphics and smoothness of the game were amazing. i actualy sat there through my whole first skill (15m or so) before i actualy moved my ship. and to this day that is eve's greatest asset is the wonderfull team who build the graphics. second most memerable event would have to be breaking through the DORIL bubble blocaid w/o an insta in a raven fitted for 0.0 ratting. some how i managed to survive with 20% structure. Dorack
Gat Oran	Posted - 2007.05.08 00:57:00 - [563] To me, it was the moment when i got escorted to fade space by my ceo from that time, Nephster and got almost "welcome popped" by jack jeckel outside the station in c4c-z4. memories... names i recall from my main acc..

Aknot Wat Gallente Carbide Industries	Posted - 2007.05.08 01:06:00 - [564] Edited by: Aknot Wat on 08/05/2007 01:03:56 The first time I saw my first fleet battle. I came out of a jump gate warp to a hellish carnage of smart bombs lighting up the sky and streams of missiles. Then when I thought it could not get any more insane...the jump gate came to life as about 30 ships of all sizes came flying in one after another. Ending with this gigantic Dread-like ship. I was in awe. Turns out it wasn't a dread just some giant BS. Still, freaked me out. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please let us chose the old ship voice as an option.
Ctair Pilru Nubs.	Posted - 2007.05.08 01:34:00 - [565] most memorable moment was 2 weeks into the game. my corp was at war and I got my first kill in eve, and the last kill of the war. popped a claw in my rocket kestrel and the war ended seconds later >_< the rush cannot be found in any other game

I feel obliged to post a few screenshots from EVE back in 2004 onward, so here we go! Battles: "65 in local" "It's gonna be big" SA fleet jumps into CA attack force Blackbird down! Ack! The drones! Slightly outnumbered.. Shortly after mobile warp disruptors were added Doing the Serp 10/10 complex with 4 battlecruisers, just before the nerf to dual oversized AB Bugs: "I've got beach balls in my belt" The infamous "stuff stuck to my ship" bug The client had enough. (also old EVE website) Roid eating a gate I win. ----------------------------------- btw, threatening to close 1 account really hurt my eyes. - xaioguai
Lysus Caldari The Templars Knights	Posted - 2007.05.08 02:44:00 - [567] My best Moment was during a fleet battle when the Southern War was at its infancy. I was in Lotka Volterra at the time and we were jumping into a Goon Gate Camp, and man did we jump in hard and caused massive damage!
Filthy Pierre Gallente Laughing Fox Enterprises	Posted - 2007.05.08 02:46:00 - [568] Most memorable moment? Hm, I'd have to say it was when I I started the EVE client up for the first time and realized that my prayers for a truly well done multiplayer 'Homeworld III' had finally been answered! (And then some!) I've never looked back since. Happy birthday. FP
TARLofGOR	Posted - 2007.05.08 02:49:00 - [569] Been around for awhile. Don't usually say much. Two things helped make this game great. 1. Risk - In no other game (other than the game of "real" life; not sure what that is)that I know of can you stand to lose so much in such a short amount of time. It makes you sweat. 2. The people - there were many. To a large degree, we stand on their shoulders (yeah, I stole that. fitting : ) Here is a short list: - Joshua Calvert - Hippey - Molly - Jim Raynor - Jash Illian - TankCEO - SaraKerrigan - Viceroy - Drunkenmaster - j0sephine Without their guidence, I wouldn't have made it to my first field of omber. Among other things. Tarl

Lupus Solitarius	Posted - 2007.05.08 04:44:00 - [571] Happy birthday EVE! The thing I remember best is when I bought a ômodulated strip miner IIö without looking in what station it was. The station was in 0,1 area, and the laser cost me 25 mil. First I wanted to ignore the cost, mine some more and buy a new one, but I took my Executioner with AB, and jumped all the way to the station, got my MSM II and got back (11 jumps under 0,5). Several times people and pirates got a lock on me (probably too small to be of interest). That was really something, and I was so relieved when I got back to 0,5 space. My best regards to all the EVE-players that makes this game so dynamic!
Ossprey Lucri Causa Daikoku Trade Syndicate	Posted - 2007.05.08 06:05:00 - [572] My most memorable event was the last day of beta testing. Booking an entire day off work just to wait for the cluster too be several hours late starting up, and loosing an entire night of sleep. But then going in game and Buying a Scorpion and sitting outside the station in ôHigh sec" powning ravens as they undocked and after my 5th raven, finally getting myself powned by Concord. (Hey this must have been the Precursor for m0o.) :P Thing is, in all that time since I've never owned a Scorpion, or even a Rattlesnake, must have something too do with the fact I'm a tad bit of a care-bear and donÆt PvP.
Riffix Synergistic Arbitrage	Posted - 2007.05.08 06:37:00 - [573] OMG, 4 years!?! What have I been doing all this time!? But Happy Birthday to the best MMO out there, this celebration is made possible because of the quality of CCP and the quality of the fans. As for my most memorable moment: The first time I went to warp and shot past the sun I thought was just part of the background image. After I had realized what just happened I opened up the map and said to myself "My god this thing is #$%#ing huge!" The galaxy lay before me and I jumped in and never looked back. "Lead, follow, or get the #@$@#$ out of the way"
Entheos Caldari Hadean Drive Yards Archaean Cooperative	Posted - 2007.05.08 07:22:00 - [574] 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...

Shu'lan Khai Purple Monkey Squadron	Posted - 2007.05.08 07:52:00 - [575] Wow, 4 years and I've been playing for close to 3 of them . Hmmm, my most memorable moment would be when I was still a noob and we joined our first alliance (RIP FSA). Roaming through our space one day we saw in local Lord Zap of mOo fame. Being noobs we were scared senseless and just kept shouting out "holy **** it's Zap, OMG run!!" - he just uncloaked after jumping through the gate, locked and popped one of us (ahem, we were three) then ran away. Looking back now, I see that we could have easily taken him out, but I honestly consider it just a good story about how I was once almost ganked by one of Eve's legends.
Beavershot	Posted - 2007.05.08 08:39:00 - [576] I liked the day Concord had a vacation and all was 1 isk on the market. fun fun fun
gen2	Posted - 2007.05.08 10:22:00 - [577] My favorite memory? Laughing to the point of tears with corpmates after 'bumping' them like billiard balls when 'Warping to Gangmate'..... and listening to them scream on TS as they fly away at near-AU/sec speeds.... While the bumping effect has been changed over time, I'm lucky enough to still have that first close group of corpmates/friends still around after 3+ years. We've lost a few along the way, and some have taken extended absences from game, but somehow this game has always lured us back together. Thank you, CCP. Happy Birthday. PS: Sorry to have kept your Ship Reimbursement department working overtime all these years, they deserve an extra piece of birthday lutefisk for going above and beyond the call of duty. =)
Palupa Slugsnail Minmatar Balanced Unity	Posted - 2007.05.08 10:46:00 - [578] The day I could not sleep due to the loss of a ship with Skillboks. I lost a Frig in a 1.0 scurity System loaded with more than two dozen Skillbooks for my Corp (3x Freighter, 1 Tycoon, 2x Carrier just to name three of them) Problem was not the heavy loss but that this event robbed my sleep for the rest of the Night. That was the moment when I realized that I'm an EVE-Junkie. Tried to stop playing afterwards but is was too late. Have a nice day
she1	Posted - 2007.05.08 11:23:00 - [579] Id have to choose from attacking 2 dreads solo in a wolf (when i could barely fly one) that where besieging a pos and making it out alive. Or more recently dodging a titan's DD to come back a few minutes later unleashing all my autocannons on it in a hurricane. (awesome ship btw, cant wait for the t2 version) Tnx for all the fun CCP. Keep up the good work me hearties.
Santa Hugo	Posted - 2007.05.08 12:43:00 - [580] Guys, I'm new to EVE. I've just 2 hours of flight... But even with 2 hours i'm sure that the single most important meeeting that i failed to attend in my life was 4 years ago!

TrippyX Caldari The Syndicate Inc DeStInY.	Posted - 2007.05.08 12:46:00 - [581] Gratz to all. Most memorable moment: FC'ing a defense op in RIT-A7 during ASCN/BoB war. BoB coming in with about 30 hacs/cbc's/inty's, us outnumbering them but not outgunning. Then kicking their ass back to their clone station and only suffering minor losses. too bad they came back and kicked us out eventually. but that day was awesome.

George Peppard Gallente THE A TEAM	Posted - 2007.05.08 12:57:00 - [583] My most memorable moment has got to be the day I got an Expanded Cargohold II BPO. I've been fabulously wealthy ever since. That, and the first time I got to say in the game "I just love it when a plan comes together" after I formed "THE A TEAM". _____________________________________________ If you have a problem, and if no-one else can help, then if you can find us, maybe you can hire the A-Team!
Macmuelli Gallente Gallente Mercantile Exchange Coalition Of Empires	Posted - 2007.05.08 16:42:00 - [584] Here are some of my best moments ! 50 minutes of constant adrenalin output when i was sitting long time ago in my carrier in FIO. After i see my self moving from the station cos of there bumping ( was thinking to this moment it was not possible anymore)... and getting killed. I had drink a lot of coffee s after this. The frist Navy megathron i got. I had run missions like a noise to get the 500 k lpoint s in high sec. After some days i got the offer then and looked for the tags. One was not seeded and i petit it. It goes pretty fast that i get it then and i got the bpc to build it. I was proud like hell. i had waste a cormack fitted megathron one day in a infiltrated outpost mission after bumping in the second room the structure. i had accept it ( 5 bn isk loose) Month later i hear it was petitonable this days and u had get it back .... "** happens" One time i was pretty tired and jump into a mission.. I directly sleep into my pc chair.. after i wake up i see my self in a pod ^^ One of my first dreads goes boom include a pretty expensive fitting but accept it ... ** happens i earned a lot of lols. 3.5 years of a lot of fun/adrenalin an funny situations. narly 3 years in contact with an old corp mate doing things together. let the next years come Happy brithday Eve Whats a human without dreams?..... DEATH "Ein jeder ernte Ruhm auf seine Weise.....Gunnar von Hlidarendi "
TorTorden Amarr	Posted - 2007.05.08 19:35:00 - [585] Well, I have barely played for a little over a year, but I would say taking my very first Omen into ami (still on trial I think), I warp to a belt, kill two rats, my blood is pumping at this point since I know I'm in an 0.4 system. Well shortly after the rats are done with and I move in to loot the cans a pilgrim locks me down scrambles, web, and nos, the full works.. I barely get the time to ask my self these two questions, What happened to my cap ? Why cant I warp? about 30 seconds later I wake up in emrayur, wondering what happened, and where that ship came from. that was my very first podding, safe to say there has been many more since one of wich was where I lost my first pilgrim I would also say that flying under a good FC is definetely one of my favourite things in eve, oh well onwards for t2 guns for me. ------------------------------------------------ There is no such thing as good or evil. Just an egotistic struggle for self empowerment. ------------------------------------------------
Vitrael Advanced Security And Asset Protection	Posted - 2007.05.08 21:33:00 - [586] Most memorable event? Ratting in .3 in my rifter in my first week of play. Shortly thereafter, finding myself in my pod and wondering why in EVE anyone would pay 2 million isk to save their pod.
Madmartigan Gallente Slacker Industries Exuro Mortis	Posted - 2007.05.08 22:45:00 - [587] My most memorable moment in Eve was just under 4 years ago. I just got a fancy ship named Vexor, and was happily npc¦ing in 0.0 somewhere with my newly aquired rail guns. Yes you could npc in t1 cruisers in 0.0 then Well, I just had killed the spawn, was going for loot, then another player warped to the belt, on the other side of it. Me being a complete n00b didn¦t even ponder the possiblity of a hostile action on his part. Short to say he webbed me, scrammed me and killed me in a proffessional manner. His name was Nightfang ( just can¦t seem to clear my head of that name ). Think he doesn¦t play anymore, allthough I¦ve wished for a rematch since :) I was so shook up I had to log and walk from the computer, it felt like after a school fight........... Been hooked ever since. Mad
Easy Kill Minmatar GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.05.09 02:38:00 - [588] My most memorable moment in Eve would have to be solo killing a Machariel in a rupture that had T1 guns fitted.
Zilkin Amarr adeptus gattacus Praesidium Libertatis	Posted - 2007.05.09 08:28:00 - [589] Edited by: Zilkin on 09/05/2007 08:25:50 My most memorable moment probably was the first time I engaged in PvP. It wasn¦t even "real" PvP but rather an event EVE-University¦s instructor SilentBrick had organized but damn was that exciting for me, trying destroy the frigates my fellow students were flying with my own. That event made me realise what EVE was all about After that my first solo kill, my first solo bs kill, etc. Still having tons of fun. Thank you CCP
Commander Mark	Posted - 2007.05.09 08:33:00 - [590] My most memorable moment was my Eos getting tackled by 2 standard cruisers and killing one of those in 21 shots ^^ i got horrifically ganked after this and had 13 ships hitting me for 5 minutes i died that night but it was great fun other than losing about 600 million isk worth of ship equipment and brain. lol moral of the story is get some better gang members i was fighting all by myself in the end was a 4 man gang originally

Kamino Slayer	Posted - 2007.05.09 08:42:00 - [591] the day i beat my corp leader in a frigate PvP, as a 4 month old noob versus his 8mil skill points alt. sure, it was just frigs. sure, it was a mission corp, no real PvP experience. sure, i ECM'd him into a stupor from the first second on. but still... my heart was doing 2000 beats a minute by the end... and i put that acheivement as my title for the NEXT 4 months.
Zallazaer Caldari Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2007.05.09 10:12:00 - [592] My memorable event. I started out as a mining character in ORFOR. I was getting my mining skills up to mine most efficiently in a megatron (7 tech2 mining lasers). And I thought 7 days training for astrogeology upgrade lvl5 was a looong time. At a certain point in time all ORFOR members were mining in battleships. We had BM's covering all the mining fields in Sakki system. I think it was in the Castor upgrade that bouncing other ships was made more effective. The bouncing impact for our mining ops was disasterous. About 8 of us were all hugging at a BM with our battleships and mining veldspar roids into a jetcan. Suddenly the hauler comes in come at the exact BM to empty the jetcan. All the battleships were bounced by the hauler 50km into different directions! I remember somebody mentioning "we should rename our mining ops to a bowling evening."
Illirean 006	Posted - 2007.05.09 10:57:00 - [593] 4 memorable years, but only one month for me. The best experience, when I first go for a raid in my BlackBird. After trying to kill a Gallente BS, we were raped by his friend and the whole group was killed, my first 0.0 However, all the best for CCP and EVE

BH Kestrelprime	Posted - 2007.05.09 16:02:00 - [594] EVE elicts a lot of pleasent memories from me, more specifically the day that I made my first low sec PK, it gave me a unparalleled adrenelene (SP?) rush and a bit of a nervous shake when I first keyed on my missile launchers on the poor sap... Anyways, good memories and long live EVE!

Gelento	Posted - 2007.05.09 19:31:00 - [595] haha my best moment happened a couple days aga when in less than 48 hours i lost 3 Brutix's, a cruiser, and a frigate i lost 60+million : / but best moment was jumping 41jumps from Jita to see teh ISSN Fleet, teh drones are teh shex
luecius Gallente Dark Skullz Empire	Posted - 2007.05.09 23:29:00 - [596] Well I was talked into playing EVE ,by a friend of mine at work..I was a big COD/2 player ..When I first got into eve I was sucked in and couldint believe a game would be this complex and beautifull at the same time.My friend quit EVE and I stayed, 9 months later im still hooked............ Kudos for taking over my life and giving me no life hahahaha just kiddin..but I hope eve keeps growing and stays for a long time.. RAT KILL PILL you pwn,i pwn ,we pvp
Krull Tarsik	Posted - 2007.05.10 02:14:00 - [597] May 6th 2003 was my 40th birthday! I learned a bit about your composer recently and he is also born on that day! What a coincidence! I love everything about EVE, the music, the mood, the vastness , replayability, new ships, items coming out regularly. Please take the time to make a book on EVE. A massive 200- page player guide with color pictures, strategies for each races,etc. I'd love to read more about EVE when I ride the bus into town. This year, I turned 44 on May 6th and it was my Gala Concert 2007 edition with kids playing from all ages. I came home at night to find out EVE was four years old ! Wow! This was a great present indeed! Thanks CCP,all the staff, everybody, you're amazing. This is the best online game . Period.
Mohrg Caldari Murky Inc.	Posted - 2007.05.10 09:17:00 - [598] Best moment, frantically hitting jump button at a gate and realising i got through with 3% structure left on my first (un insured) raven on the way to meet up with friends to run some missions, my heart was pounding out of my chest. or getting nailed by 2 goons who actually bothered to scan me down in a miner infested system while i made a coffe, then coming back to find myself locked down, i sat and had a convo in local with them about how good my set up was and how i could tank them for nearly 10 mins. such charming fellows. Happy Birthday EVE Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.
Thunder BlItZ	Posted - 2007.05.11 06:24:00 - [599] My best memory is when i was 2 weeks old. i joined The Order Of Chivalry. (and ive been with the same bunch of guys ever since) they were based in 0.0, as i was new, and i knew the risks having read every piece of info i could on the issue i was sceptical. however they told me i'd be fine. I went into lowsec in my biggest ship (an osprey at the time) jumped into the first 0.0 and... ...nothing... completely empty. so i am like 'cool lol this aint so bad' shortly after trying to rat hunt with 2 missile launchers and a mining laser fitted i decided to jump through to the next system. oh poo. big camp. heres me in my osprey absolutely ****ing myself. too slow to evade thier locking before warping and not big enough to withstand attack. I had an idea... smacktalk 4tw! i put in local 'NO I WILL NOT MARRY YOU!' at which point i uncloaked and warped. they were too busy typeing responses to the effect of 'wtf' in the chat. and no... it dosent work no more. i tried it and got popped on the way into the new drone regions a few weeks back. Gratz on 4 years. Salute Undrground! o7
RoCkEt X Caldari The Order of Chivalry Nex Eternus	Posted - 2007.05.11 06:25:00 - [600] oopsy. sorry for alt post. Thunder BlitZ is my alt.. didnt realize.

implanted Caldari Reunited Praesidium Libertatis	Posted - 2007.05.11 07:27:00 - [601] My 1st day in eve i undocked in my noob ship for the 1st time and my brother was waiting outside the station in his domi.....i thought ill shoot him for fun....there was a big flash....i said to him...wtf was that....he was laughing saying the sentrys just shot you seeing as u cant shoot people in empire....ect ect....been hooked ever since then.
Crassus Silverwolf Caldari The Knighthawks FREGE Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.11 12:01:00 - [602] Firstly, a very Happy Birthday to CCP & the EVE universe. The best game I have ever played and the only game that has engaged me for a solid few years. Whether i sneak onto the game at work and avoid the boss or persuading my girl friend that EVE is not a mistress or a threat to her..... Keep up the great work CCP and see you at the 10th Anniversary .... I have two memorable moments. 1. The acquisition of my first Chimera Carrier and then its subsequent loss a few days later in a battle in FDZ..... what a learning curve that was ..... 2. The all out battle my Corps(LYF) had dismantling our Large POS in WH-2EZ. Whilst unanchoring the POS we were jumped by WRECK an all out battle ensued with the loss of several ships. It was a heart thumping business with me threading my Badger through a raging battle at the gate to get into WH-2EZ to pick up the POS. All the while there were ships popping all over the place but the POS was scooped and saved..... On a seperate note my Corpies had a similar battle a few days before dismantling our 2nd Large POS. Although not there to see it, the battle that raged was won by the sudden appearence of 3 Alliance Carriers which turned the tables in our favour. The heart stopping moment here was that the Corpie that was picking up the Unanchored POS missed it first time round and the enemy did scoop it into their Industrial, by all accounts the screams over team speak to kill the industrial were numerous and clamorous. The enemy industrial was destroyed by the fighters from the carrier, hearts were low as the expectation was we had lost our POS in the exploding wreck, but, on inspecting the can the POS was in there waiting for us..... Heart stopping moments and when considering that there were players from 4 different continents playing and talking absolutly brilliant. I raise a glass of Quaff to CCP and wish you the best and bring us all more fun in the future...
Spyres Minmatar	Posted - 2007.05.11 13:12:00 - [603] Best moment? Probably when I got into my first Battleship. It was a Scorp, and I just flew around and looked at it for about an hour. :D I still stay up way too late and play. Although, if memory serves, I lost that Scorp to a guy in a Moa Happy Birthday!
keirasu	Posted - 2007.05.11 18:01:00 - [604] my most memorable moment was getting the crap ganked outta me in my myrmidon , i made it away from a group of pure just in time to dock in badi and be safe, then said to myself, "aww hell, why wait?" and proceeded to try to get back to Ed-... yeah... went pretty well until i jumped into 30 guys on the 3-F gate. Never knew a game could give you that big an adrenaline rush, lol.
zekama	Posted - 2007.05.11 21:44:00 - [605] my most memerable moment was when i had taken a newly bouht reteiver and then my conection dropped but i was under attack and when i logged back on i was a pod
Roy Gordon Caldari The Star Wolves	Posted - 2007.05.12 18:06:00 - [606] Most memorable event? Buying the game 4 years ago then forgetting to actually sign upto Eve, only remembering I had bought it about 18 months ago, then signing up, doh!!! That which does not kill us makes us stronger. The Universe is ruled by three basic principles- Matter, Energy and Enlightened Self-Interest!
syndic4te Amarr	Posted - 2007.05.13 04:00:00 - [607] I guess my Most Memorable Moment was when I was listed in Concord's Most Wanted List. I came in 5th but oh well. 4 years of eve, 4 years of syndic4te. Concord's Most Wanted List
combat zerg Minmatar Obsidian Inc. KIA Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.14 03:37:00 - [608] Edited by: combat zerg on 14/05/2007 03:36:41 would have to say first time i flew a raven on my orrginal char into sleet batle against curse alliance LONG LIVE XETIC ( yes iknow its dead ) and this is not the over 3 year old char that i sold .......... but oh well good ol memories
nickiy	Posted - 2007.05.15 13:26:00 - [609] Been playin since 2005..had my on and off's. GF's to take they'r time My most memorable events: 1) When I joined ALMPC. We were staged in Sotrentaira and had quite a few wars going. I remeber getting into my BB and thinking this is going to be fun. We got 2 hostiles 1 jump away and we went there (about 5-8 men). They had a sniping apoc and zealot if I remember correctly. The zealot jumped on the gate and we all engaged, no real damage but still, it was fun Then in comes the apoc and starts to target us, thanks to beeing barely out of my range I couldnt put ecm's on him and was instapopd Was fun though 2) second is when My ex CEO Nende was flying a raven in Alparena and talked about all the pierats in there...damn that raven seemed so far away at that time 3) When FREGE moved to itsnew home and I got my raven up thereto rat in 0.0. I was off a few days and my insurance expired, so I tried to get it back to empire..ofc everything isnt as simple as it seems We had a hostile gang jump in and try take our POS's out. At first I thought I'm not gonna risk it, but then..what the hell. First we met on the gate..they jumped they'r carriers and support inand started pounding on us..we tried to fight back bu we were outgunned So when they cleared the gate they started to pop the POS's. they got 2 I think and then went home..and I got a chance to get my raven to empire nice and safe 4) Who could forget meeting my corpmates. Its been nice to know em and hopefully this will continue Thanks for this Great Game CCP. It has been fun
Pierre Vernes	Posted - 2007.05.16 16:11:00 - [610] hi!! my first steps in the deep space...so nothing interresting to say..i hope i'll have something to say for the 8th anniversary^^ thanx to all the developpers(david brabens fans?) 4 giving me a beautifull sequel of my amiga's frontier elite 2 see ya..

Princesse Qiao	Posted - 2007.05.16 21:20:00 - [611] Most memorable event - ? Asking CCP for help and being told they wouldn't. And today we find a greeting when logging in warning us against eula violations.. Well I for one don't like threats implied or otherwise and it is no way to treat your customers. In case you have forgotten, CCP - it is us who put the food on your tables!

Johlie Caldari Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2007.05.20 17:47:00 - [612] My most memorable moment was the first fight for a POS I was in. I was in SKV and we were attacking a -A- pos in Stain somewhere. I remember coming out of warp and seeing two large fleets of mostly BS and a good amount of cap ships slugging it out. I was really impressed to many people fighting and the image stuck with me.
Byakusasori	Posted - 2007.05.21 16:58:00 - [613] Edited by: Byakusasori on 21/05/2007 16:57:04 I think my most memorable event in eve was when I escape my self from a large bubble (with command ship) in nano-velator, I warped out just when I went to go out of the bubble and a missile was lauched and never hit me because the warp gang was launched just when the missile was on my rookie :) And I was without upgraded clone too. Thx CCP for a so GREAT game... EDIT : This was with Volga 743, not with this poster...
Sacred Klepton	Posted - 2007.05.22 03:52:00 - [614] "I was so shook up I had to log and walk from the computer, it felt like after a school fight..." Yeah, what he said. Exactly.
Kiera Lavode	Posted - 2007.05.25 01:45:00 - [615] DEFINETELY when I first got my mining barge ,"HOLY ** I CAN MINE 700m3 A MINUTE! **!"
Flaming Lemming	Posted - 2007.05.28 01:24:00 - [616] I'd have to say the most memorable experiences in EvE relate to T20, Sharkbait, and Admiral Charmawhatsis and allegations of cheating/favoritism/underhandedness. Which is sad, because EvE is such a great game. I'm just an Alt....but my main doesn't have a sig either. there's no such thing as bad press
Galdaron xax Gallente Cloak and Daggers	Posted - 2007.05.29 13:21:00 - [617] You got to know in the game I'm a miner producer researcher but my best moment?? well when i got my first pvp kill in a destroyer agains a BS and gotten 3 T2 items from it :) Ii was salvaging in the destroyer when an alliance gate camp asked for assistance.I was the last ship flying that night :) it was bs against bs (gallante tier 2 against min tier2) i used 3 railguns and a standard missle launcher. Never imagined that i could do damage to a bs but idid and i was alive to tell about it the other best part was when I finnaly could afford a RAVEN bpo :p
Shadow Elk	Posted - 2007.05.29 14:00:00 - [618] Most memorable moments was, the first time I took my BC for a spin. When I first built my very own BS from scratch. Oh and when I saw a capital jump in, that was freaking awesome. Sad moments that overshadow these are however present. T20 and the funky BPO's and shabby dealings over MSN between players and developers.. Originally by: Dianabolic We have a "special" line (if you want to call msn that) to our FRIENDS. Even devs need friends, you know, they're not robots.
Redemptionist	Posted - 2007.05.29 18:40:00 - [619] Happy 4th one EVE. My own most memorable moment was the first serious deepsapce run...12 industrials, 3 battleships, 30 odd jumps into a POS station in deepspace. The tension of knowing we had enemies on every side and attacks all the way was just amazing! Other than that, watching each new patch and seeing Amarr firepower and comabt ability being reduced to slag - after suffering at the hands of the gankageddon for so long, I can finally fight them in my beloved scrapheaps.
algorythm Minmatar Evolution Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.05.29 18:53:00 - [620] Edited by: algorythm on 29/05/2007 18:53:24 4 years, and I had to wait almost one year until the game was on the website to download and try a free trial. 3 days after, I was paying already because I knew this would be the game I would play for the next years. Now, the most memorable thing... there are too many. Probably the most memorable will be the VV-VCR battle JQA against Supremacy and their allies. It was my first fleet battle, the lag was not an issue, and I actually survived, probably because I had to leave for work and had to log off. The second, me arriving back to the PC after answering the door and finding myself in a pod, oops that ship that I workded for the last 3 months was gone. That was my first tempest death of many to come ^_^ The third? Being part of the team building an Avatar EDIT: Fourth, trying to find Swelter's Ibis in 98-Q and just to find out the damn Ibis was inside the sun! Fifth, 4 hours of mwding to find an armageddon in querious, great freebie though _________________________

zibelthurdos Archron Dusyfe Industries	Posted - 2007.05.31 05:34:00 - [621] Happy Birthday EVE..... I'd have to say my most memorable event has to be when I first successfuly threaded my helios out of a bubble in doril populated by 40 or so red flashies, even after having been decloaked by a ceptor. of course I had to take a clonopin afterwards to calm down...
Gaelron War Inc.	Posted - 2007.05.31 16:24:00 - [622] Originally by: CCP Wrangler On this day, 4 years ago, EVE Online was released and the masses rejoiced because a new age of MMOG gaming and enlightenment was upon them - "The Age of EVE". To commemorate this blessed event we would like you all, players, developers and volunteers alike, to post your most memorable event in the world of EVE. A lot has happened during these 4 years and we would like to celebrate this with a trip down memory lane. A bit over 4 years ago you did my interview for HDY in beta. I have stopped playing ever for 6mnths to a year at times but no matter what other game i try....I always come back to Eve.

Daroh UA Industry Red Alliance	Posted - 2007.08.25 21:52:00 - [624] The moment when i started to play EVE and after 1 month of missions i boored and came to Agil to join UA Industry where were my friend - Hassis. Before I joined I contacted WRWR and Corak who were flying near station in Agil on battleships and they took me to H-ADOC, i flyed my first pvp Vigil ) They said - i can try catch anyone, even friendlys, but I failed and didnt catch even BS. It maked me angry and i start to work hard on my tacking and become best RA tacker in 1 month of playing in RA.
