Ok so here I am, bored out of my mind so I go check the Eve general forums. I see that there are over 1000 pages in eve discussion alone so I go to the last page. And BOOM!
It became like a small story thing. Starting from Eve being an infant and everyone in frigates and cruisers. In a way, I wish I could play 03' eve just to see the environment and the pink bat protests 
It was pretty cool to read up on these stories of people using frigates so much and how battleships were "gods" at the time. The biggest thing that I got from reading it though was that the 2003 Eve game was a completely different game (at least thats how I felt). Full of famous bugs but also filled with exploration. I mean, people were slapping like
cruise on frigates (some different missile system back in the day i hear) and all the cruiser vs frigate hype.
After browsing 50 pages or so (realllllyyy bored though was intrigued by the history of eve) I realized that Eve has come a long way from what it was. Now some of you might say, NO REALLY!? well. When I say it has come a long way, i mean it has come a really long way. In the sense that modern day eve is so different that it might as well be not eve.
I'm recommending everyone to really go back and read if not simply browse the pages real fast. Now of course, this is all a personal preference. I find histories of things taken for granted fascinating and the evolution of eve is definitely more interesting than what it deserves.
Am I making little sense? maybe. Its 4:06 AM and I'm dead tired but also at the same time, so awed by the immensity of the history of eve. Heck, you could probably make some kind of Eve biography outta all of the stuff that happened.
Now you must be wondering... why does this guy share this? Well, for all you whiners that are gonna cry and cry about the current state of eve and how its going to die, go back there and read the old stuff. It helps alot. Kind of.
^ Suggestion. Optional but not required.
Discuss Old eve and this long change eve went through.
SIDE NOTE: WHAT I'VE JUST REALIZED!!! IF EVE SURVIVES TILL 2013, IT WILL BE A DECADE GAME!!! I dont think any game has ever lasted that long and man I would be so happy to see eve out there and livin a few years from now.
Ok but seriously, these old posts... some are just plain amusing tho. Like the whole lack of "pro" setups and ect.

MISSILES WERE SPLASH DAMAGE??? WTFBBQ?
EDIT 2: Another thing thats notable: over time, the community has definitely gotten alot more hostile and aggressive. Like ffs its crazyy!
